Electricity is just spinning things

Alright how taught trump the word "tariff"?

The name edgar has really fallen off recently.

There's still a really long way to go to baby goat time on my farm (about 6 weeks until the first due dates). But the world (and me) needs some cute baby goat pictures right now, so please enjoy this ridiculously cute picture from last year.

JD Couch couldn't be more wrong There should be NO room for alt-right extreme parties like AfD Fascist parties should be banned and shut up, simple as that

Someone says "You should really watch this YouTube video to learn about this thing" I nod sagely, then move on with life knowing I will never bother to watch said video.

Zero divided by zero should be 1, as any number divided by zero is one, and nothing goes into nothing once.

I made a #irc style thing for #mastodon. https://irelephant.w3spaces.com/mastodon.html

Fedi and bluesky were made up by ican to sell silly domain names

I like to imagine that when I react to people's posts with a fish emoji that I am throwing a fish at them.

did you try turning it on and off?

Seeing bluesky not understand that all ai is llms is very painful.

The Braille Institute created a font designed to make reading easier for people with low vision called Atkinson Hyperlegible in 2019. It just released an update (Atkinson Hyperlegible Next) and monospace version with enhanced characters, 7 weights, and variable weight. They’re free for […]

A continued reminder that blocking referrers on Mastodon means that nobody can measure how many visits they're getting from the platform, so publishers don't know how much to invest in it (and therefore don't). It's such an own goal for the platform.

Searching git commits for "removed env file" to catch people who don't know how git works, works.

And they think the left is radical? 😆 Oh damn nazi's.. Let's show them what "radical left" actually can do! 💪 It's okay to kick nazi's all day, everyday!

Think about the time I tried using a tool to turn a specific part of a website into a .zim, and it downloaded the entire w3c website.

These apps are building Instagram alternatives on open protocols https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/09/these-apps-are-building-instagram-alternatives-on-open-protocols/

I thought The Onion was supposed to be satire

Via @harld de bekende cartoon van de capitalist die tegen de arbeider zegt: "Pas op, die vreemdeling wil je koekje". Re-post, met #AltText

When it comes to trump, the wronger I am the better. I really hope he won't be as bad as people say. I need to be realistic about it though.

Are you going to be fine?

If someone uses a lot of parenthesis they are either antisemetic or a lisp fan.

I hate when people on like, tiktok and similar say "you're being manipulated by the media!" my brother in christ you are also the media.

With the latest update to #Mastodon's web app, we show you a little reminder when you're about to post a picture without adding alt text. Alt text is crucial for accessibility, but has other perks too, such as making it much easier to search for your post—or […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

The world owes @pluralistic an unending debt of gratitude for the word "enshittification," a word so useful that even my browser's spell-checker recognizes it. As a succinct way of conveying a somewhat broad concept, it has opened up space for a lot of thought and conversation... and the […]

To be fair... it's probably for the best that something is eating thousands of ants every day. Otherwise we'd be up to our ears in ants... and that might even be too much for me. I have to carefully plan how much I feed my colonies for just this reason. I once tried to introduce spiders to […]

We had broadly-deployed WebDAV and we threw it away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV?wprov=sfla1

Trump's administration evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her home with three hours of notice on Tuesday — not even enough time to gather her personal effects — according to two people familiar with the incident. Fagan, a four-star admiral and the first woman to lead a […]

About the whole #nodeinfo #GTS brouhaha, I want to point out that an #API is meant to be machine-readable. What's the point of providing a machine-readable endpoint and then blocking machines via robots.txt?

Windows forced a 20-minute update on me this morning, the only visible results of which were a picture of a guitar in the search bar to mark Bob Marley’s birthday (hate to tell you this Bill Gates but Bob Marley stopped having birthdays some time ago) and the wheel controller on my laptop has […]

A 25-year-old who's worked for Elon Musk companies now has direct control over a Treasury system disbursements from which amount to a fifth of the US economy. He has high-level admin privileges on a mainframe housing all the code. Access granted as debt ceiling crisis looms, officials in charge […]

Another fav #cemetery photo from my Flickr cleanup. This headstone appears to be made from concrete, carved with a stick while wet. Give this thing all the Art Brut awards! #portland #weird https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/54096665/george-l-galaviz

hey americans!!! if your workplace suddenly requires you to get rid of "DEI" or "woke" keywords in documentation/webpages/etc., that's an incredible opportunity for malcompliance! don't do it _properly_ , don't adjust the wording around the removals to make sense or delete whole pages, no […]
