This is pretty interesting, some countries are "leapfrogging" landlines.

Made a bot for creating XKCD-style graphs. It actually works pretty okay!

@JasonBrewster I manually wrote the alt text on that image. But, I actually did at one point make a GPT for writing alt text for images, I just keep forgetting to use it. Out of curiosity, I tried it out and this is what it gave me:

An emerald jewel wasp looks at those cute posters that have been all over that have a drawing of cicadas and the quote

"Shed your old skin and scream!"

jewel wasp: ... don't see why it has to be my old skin ...
roach (who is on a date with her): --what??
jewel wasp: (eyeing him) ... nothing...

A rare tornado just went thru heavily populated Montgomery County, MD, northwest of Washington D.C. Now headed towards Baltimore.

Not sure if it touched down or caused heavy damage.

@AkaSci Unrelated - kinda interesting to see a topological map that includes US territories.

@AkaSci I don't even know what AS and MP are.

Edit: Looked into it, they're American Samoa and Northern Mariana Islands. My apologies if any islanders see this.

Yeah buddy! I got up and running on the Quad!

@JLW_the_Jobber While I'm content with GNOME, I am always a little jealous of KDE Dolphin (the file manager) having a built-in terminal.

@mzagaja one of (if not) my all time favorite ad. I listened to Enya a bit growing up, so this one was particularly comforting.

What's the context on this though? 😆 Out of all of the 10-year-old ads to post, I'm not complaining, just curious if there's a current event I should know about.

I'm self-hosting the design tool, @penpot, I use for personal projects. For login, I'm running my own #OpenID auth server with #Authentik.

Boy does this make me happy.

I wish gnome would clear the notification badge once I've clicked into apps and read the messages.

Instead I have to go into my notification tray and manually dismiss each message.

I keep glancing at the dock and thinking I've gotten a new message.

Without looking it up what is closest to 8oz?

(Curious how well the relation between oz and metric is generally known.)

@futurebird I'm guessing C. because the answer is always C.

Um, this article uses Swift as an example in the headline and not Musk, the self-proclaimed environmentalist and government contract king. That's some pretty shitty right handed reporting.

@noondlyt also isn't this just for aircraft ownership. If we already know the numbers of her current jets, people can continue to track those jets. She can buy a new jet, but the moment someone figures out which one it is, people can track that one too.

6 years ago today, GDPR landed with the threat of €20,000,000 fine minimums for compliance failure.

The stress levels of being a web host haven't yet gone back down again 😆😬

chris_hayes,
@chris_hayes@fosstodon.org avatar

@dev_ric Does that involve dealing with cookies on a website? Because getting thousands of cookies categorized, having new ones constantly appearing, and OneTrust being awful in general has driven me nuts.

I gotta admit, I am very much enjoying @ghost's ActivityPub progress newsletter.

Last week they were having an existential crisis, this week they're saying it's our fault as the users, that ActivityPub is so hard.
(I'm paraphrasing the most dramatic part without context for the read receipts)

Tumblr promised ActivityPub support and then disappeared for 2 years. Ghost promised ActivityPub support, and then their engineers appear each week to tell us how they regret that decision.

From Ghost ActivityPub newsletter, on May 25, 2024. Heading, "What's new with ActivityPub?", with the paragraph below, "Last week we promised you earth-shattering innovation in the form of database persistence. Did we achieve that? We did not. So, like every tired product manager in the history of ever, I will now attempt to explain that away and still sound totally optimistic - leading you to believe that our initial time estimates remain both accurate and relevant." Not in this screenshot, but further down they also blame the users for why ActivityPub is so hard, haha.
