The Metro-North electric holiday #train, spotted by coincidence last week, parked on a platform in Grand Central's basement.

@lianna I am on Element Nightly 2025122401 on desktop, it does properly process matrix.to links in the search bar (as in if I paste a matrix.to link to a room then it will strip the irrelevant parts and prompt you the room).

I love pictures of the Holy Family that recast them in the modern time, or in other times and places. For example, this drawing, by Everett Patterson. (1/2)

@fabbecker @pixelcode You can, https://spec.matrix.org/v1.17/client-server-api/#push-rules . By default all reaction notifications are suppressed. You can override it to get notified of all reactions, or reactions matching a specific emoji/room/initiator, or reactions in rooms of a certain member count (could be useful for 1-on-1 DMs), however the rules are actually not advanced enough to catch all reactions on your messages (it cannot look up message IDs)...

@gangrif I mean, half of my Matrix usage is to keep an eye on certain software projects like Codeberg and various alternative frontends that use Matrix as their main public chat, and the other half is to meet weird queer people (some of whom became my friends IRL), I didn't need to bring existing IRL people into Matrix. Yes, given various factors it's hard to convince people to use Matrix, but there is some community here.

@lyn13th 我觉得我读硕只有最后两周才是真的忙……学期其余部分其实都不算啥……

Happy holidays! As expected I was at @nytransitmuseum.bsky.social's holiday nostalgia ride, so here are some pics from the trains. Nice that the holiday train shows on station countdown clocks this year!

We had #Halal cart on the #NYC #Ferry...

(It's the new ferry from Staten Island to Brooklyn. Yes, eating meals on fast boats gets nauseous real quick, I quickly recovered, my friend might have not. Yes, the halal cart was near the outlets on Staten Island. I think it's okay, though unfortunately the unfamiliarity to the spicy sauce and the ferry's speed did deal psychic damage to my friend, who was visiting the city for the first time.)

cities skylines is when the international passenger airport with busses and a subway gets 1 passenger a week but the cargo airport right next to it has trains waiting in line and like 4 planes clipping into each other at all times due to being overcrowded

This year, I spent 898,560 minutes

@plante @vorboyvo I mean I do use "rly" as a standalone word when doing fast replies, though I never say "rly" followed by another word.

do you think Donkey Kong and Mario ever kissed

@ikhwan Welcome! See https://mpp.bus-hit.me/how-to-follow/ if you want to look for tips on finding more accounts.

@SwanseaEarlyMusicSingers That looks like an unmonitored account, you should probably try https://earlymusicnews.org/address . Also this instance is actually located in the US...

@jonathankoren @not2b In Canada they really send everything (including tests) as a presidential alert that most people could not turn off (though for some reason I can mute them), to the point that people would literally complain to 911 about AMBER alerts (inappropriate, I know, but relatable)... Honestly, have wireless AMBER alerts meaningfully helped in the discovery of the lost child? It's probably more effective to show them on highway sign boards where it's more likely for people to help...

@ikhwan Relatable (well, the other way with the gender, but still)... Though it's more I look at my acquaintances and be like "they deserve and probably got better one(s)"...

It is the season when multiple final projects don't work out and I had to resort to burning the midnight oil to salvage what's left while my partners have bailed... (Interestingly enough it doesn't seem to happen in spring semester, always in fall...) And yes, AI definitely made it a little bit better in debugging technical stuff, but also a lot worse in others, especially in writing, by allowing people to put in a lot less effort...
