I love older consoles and a while ago I made Wizards & Dinosaurs for Atari 2600 and Oopi's Quest for Nintendo NES. Both are free, can be played in the browser or on their respective console; https://kenney.nl/games
@TechConnectify in your dishwasher and detergent pods yay or nay, did you ever talk about hard water? Off the top of my head I don't think you did, but I haven't gone and rewatched them either. I just wanted to note that most powders don't have citric acid or anything in them like that that can be used to fight hard water residue the way most detergent pods do.
@bytor And for the record, I did talk about water hardness but only in regards to how much detergent you should use. In the second video I talked about the components in detergents, and even cheap powder has softening agents.
And BTW, vinegar works OK but you'll probably have a less fussy and more effective clean with a bottle of dishwasher cleaner. In my experience they're like magic.
@TechConnectify@TechConnectify I tested varying amounts of powder in the dispenser and ruled that out the first thing. It is distinctly different from hard water buildup. I hear Chicagoland is around 8 grains per gallon. In my city in Southern Ontario it's 14, so hard water crusties slowly reducing pressure is the only thing I have not been able to rule out.
The amount of FediFetcher instances scraping chaos.social is alarming. They all come from different Azure IPs because it's the recommended way to run it. Github reports: 1.361 deployments. We also see massive scraping from the TOR Network and scraping of RSS Feeds from SerendeputyBot. That sucks! #mastoadmin
@dumpsterqueer@heluecht@leah funny thing is that replies collection actually isn't part of activitypub. it's part of activitystreams instead. there are no side effects for receiving a Create of an object with inReplyTo set. https://w3id.org/fep/7458 is a FEP that is relevant here, describing actually using the replies collection. combine with https://w3id.org/fep/0391 for special collection proofs (stamps).
@dumpsterqueer@heluecht@leah and hey, while we're looking at properties from activitystreams, i'd perennially point toward context and https://w3id.org/fep/7888 as a "parallel path" to fep-7458. instead of recursing through replies collections, we could have a singular context collection which represents the moderated conversation as a flat list. this allows inReplyTo as simply metadata.
If anyone thought for one second that the property owning class was being "contradictory" in how they flopped from "stealing is illegal" to "stealing is how we make humanity immortal in a cryogenic goo uploaded to the cloud," thats because you dont talk to enough pirates!
I was catching up on some older Scientific American articles and came across this one from March.
It's an article about the problems caused by car dependency, and it hits all of the important parts of a solution (zoning, regulation exceptions for SUVs, free parking, etc).
There are no surprises to anyone who has been orange-pilled, but it's still nice to see this kind of article in the more mainstream press.
@notjustbikes Is it true that most urbanists have better knowledge of cars than average regular drivers? There are so many things people are missing when they are driving, which makes me feel weird.
Your wonderful SUV-bashing video pushed me into a weird rabbit hole about what kinds of cars are in the streets and which kinds of driver behaviour are bad. Turns out there are so many mad people on the road that I was not previously aware of, some of them leaving signs in their cars that can be seen when the car is parked.
For example, I have seen more than one car with stickers on the rear windshield, or something is behind the rear windshield, mostly plushies. This indicates the driver is not using the rear view mirror. Outrageous.
One can usually find bs on their main page, e. g.:
'Superheavy Elements Are Breaking the Periodic Table'
'These Gray Whales Are Shrinking and Scientists Aren’t Sure Why'
I checked the official website of #OpenGraph (see: https://ogp.me) and I don't see the fediverse: namespace anywhere. Which means this fediverse: namespace is not an OpenGraph tag and will more likely not work without a proper prefix namespace, correct?
So, what am I missing here? People are already adding it. O_O
Update: Relevant thread/discussion about this fediverse: namespace.
As I mentioned elsewhere, there is a case for providing json-ld metadata - which is already in use and has been blessed by Google (not that I care) and dumping both OpenGraph and X/Cards in favour of open standards over proprietary and non-extensible solutions. The Alphabet currently only blesses @context values using schema.org, but this is where the fediverse can assert a standard context that works for us and just start using it. And it's already defined!.
@TheConversationUS Thanks for that. At least that time (which I lived through) the withdrawal came early enough for a real primary campaign. This time would be worse.
Good thing is that Theia is not a fork of VSCode in the same way that VSCodium is. It is its own IDE from the ground up, but reusing some (OSS) parts from VSCode. While they implemented the VSCode extension API they also implemented their own extension mechanism and aren't dependent on MS marketplace.
I dunno if Theia is good alternative for all uses, esp. if one is programming for .NET it may not be. I think I'll give it a try.
@smallcircles Yup agree with that. Open VSX is a nice solution and I'd love to see it gain traction. I might give it another try too. Used to use Theia a few years ago as an online/remote ide which worked fine but then I stopped when vscode had remote development.
I received a report that PlayStation declines this icon when submitting games for approval, due to the use of the wrong type of 'N'. The pack has been updated, sorry if this caused any inconvenience 🙇♂️
OK, clear. I'm a newbie and do enjoy people talking about it.
Is there a lack of quality, because can't see why people talking about this on social media would be considered a bad thing.
Meta launches its much-awaited Threads API, letting developer publish posts, fetch content, manage replies, and view analytics, after an API beta in March 2024 (Ivan Mehta/TechCrunch)
@erlend@Techmeme@tchambers was trying to see if there are any client apps that have started playing with this API yet. I wonder if you can see any of the ActivityPub work from the API yet
