I have been warned by the Mastodon moderators that some of my posts will be marked sensitive. This was a direct result of a post which sought to show the direct consequences of book burning as has been reported in Gaza on this platform.

@joeroe @ArchaeoIain recent reply to a spore.social account (book-burning image) marked ‘sensitive’ … so likely that server alone but affects how i see it here

Keyboard macros. They were a huge deal in the 80s. Now nobody ever mentions them. What changed?

@mrundkvist seem to recall macros proved to be a security risk (excel especially)

Which is the best comprehensible way of representing land use in different models, knowing that the most optimistic (dark grey, "Bekels 2") is around 9% of the patch and least-optimistic (light gray, "Piggott") is ca. 40%?

I like the simplicity of the v.1 pie chart, but I don't know if the adding pieces is as obvious to the reader as to me. And I want to use this kind of representations throughout the thesis, so I want to choose good one.

version 2. a donut chart representing the same data as version 1 (with different pattern for not used land).
version 3. a donut chart representing the same data as version 1. the first model is multiplied to avoid the apparent differences between most- and least-optimistic models. light green area represents land not used.

@smiergahttu agree with v.1 pie chart… only could ‘not used’ be omitted (and percentages added)?

All artefacts degrade over time. What is the component of a 1980s home computer that gives out first? When did/does this happen?

@mrundkvist race between ram cards and power supply? (or was that the 90s?)

Does anybody know if there’s a traditional composite material that behaves something like fibreglass? As in fibre/fabric laid up in a binder of some sort to make a stiff material in arbitrary forms.

Paper mache is one but it’s too weak (I think, maybe there's a super version?). I'm considering things like cotton or flax in casein glue or pine resin... but I doubt it will work.

(And my last casein glue experiment stunk like rotten milk for weeks!)

Apple fans!

My work laptop is a 13-inch, 2017 Macbook Pro.

I've been offered the opportunity to keep it for £160.

Is this a good deal?

@grahamorriss @nancywisser reckon so (if ebay is any measure) … battery health?

I’m seeking an expert in geomancy, ley lines, and occult practices involving the land to speak at an online event on 15 June. Anyone you’d suggest? Can be skeptic or believer, as long as they can explain the concept! It’s a paid gig, and the audience is mainly writers.

It's for my next Writing the Occult, which is about connections to the land - so if you have other suggestions that fit that theme, I’d also love to hear them.

I'm making an owl nest box. The last face to go on will have a rectangular entrance hole cut in it just above the cross bar there. I Hope the owls don't bring a spirit level. 👷🦉🦉

Do you think it needs a spar across inside to roost or hop on? Or is that just too much gentrification. #Birds

    @curmudgeonaf never met an archaeological find dated to the future!

    @curmudgeonaf first hashtag? even so, can’t think of a use case for ‘dated to’ the future

    @curmudgeonaf a post-dated cheque? (i got nothing else - language is weird)

    Many Swedish noble families went extinct only one or two generations after they were ennobled. Sometimes because of high infant mortality, sometimes because men were ennobled late in life. Nobility was only inherited along the male line.
