Not like this :neocat_googly:

"We're not going to ask for permission for something that we should be able to just do" [...] "It's my f***ing body. If I want to go get my ears pierced, no one's going to say, 'oh, you can't do that, you need two letters from psychiatrists'." #Trans www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The Globus is a navigational instrument that uses a rotating globe to show the position of the Soyuz spacecraft above the Earth. Inside the Globus, a complicated system of gears and motors positions the globe. Jon Bruner from @lumafield created a three-dimensional X-ray scan for us. 1/4

@fleaz Nett, vor allem, dass 2>1 vs 2>&1 erklärt wird. Aber das Diagramm für die Pipes verwirrt mich... Sollte /dev/tty dabei nicht umgangen?

Finde generell die Bilder von Julia Evans schöner.

Müsste mal die zines durchschauen, ob es da irgendwo noch mehr gab. https://wizardzines.com/zines/terminal/ hab ich bspw. mir noch gar nicht angeschaut, und das hat ja auch einen Abschnitt über redirects.

@blinry there's currently an ongoing science-fantasy story being written on which spell crafting literally is programming... Including integer overflow bugs: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/69938/magic-is-programming/chapter/1244432/chapter-1-confusion

Do you prefer the Nintendo S or the Nintendo S Lite?

Im Deutschen spricht man ja die Einerstellen vor den Zehnerstellen: 42 ist "zweiundvierzig". Mich stört das schon lange, und dachte, ich probier mal eine Weile aus "vierzigzwei" zu sagen.

Stellt sich raus: Es gibt seit 2004 den Verein https://zwanzigeins.jetzt, der sich für diese "unverdrehte" Sprechweise einsetzt! Sie führe zu weniger Lernhindernissen und Zahlendrehern.

Der Verein hat unter anderem ein 60-seitiges Positionspapier ausgearbeitet, aus dem ich ein paar Sachen berichten mag! 🧵

@DerMolly Minerals for private machines, mountains for work stuff (if it's pet machines).
There's osmium and osmeth (two laptops of the same model), sodalite (media center), onyx (black router), fulgurite (outdoor AP) and others.

@nev Compost Flies (Ptecticus trivittatus), no?
Perfectly normal behavior in my book anyway, especially for such nice photos.

TIL why (in British English) we don't use a dot after the “St” short form of “Street”.

The “t” in “St” is *not* the second letter of “Street”, but the sixth. So it's not an abbreviation (like “Prof.” for “Professor”, “etc.” in “et cetera”, etc.), it's a contraction (like “Dr” in “Doctor”, “Mr” in “Mister”, “St” in “Saint” and so on) and contractions don't have a dot.

🤯

I assumed it was just a weird English thing, but turns out I found the only language feature that's entirely consistent :flan_wink:

@malwaretech True, memory as such isn't new, but it gained new behavior under that same name.

@Anarchoesel Der verlinkte Ring arbeitet auf 125kHz (LF), dein Handy auf 13,56MHz (HF) - deswegen siehst Du da wahrscheinlich nichts.
Lesegeräte für LF RFID gibt es aber zuhauf.
@eliasp @yrrsinn

@malwaretech That's the memory feature. It effectively builds a dossier on you. Probably wasn't that hard to identify you.

So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell... This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link:

@piegames Dazu auch empfehlenswert der Vortrag der Leute, die die Cyborg Foundation mitgegründet haben.

@piegames sowas wie https://www.vice.com/en/article/cyborg-implant-north-sense-fitted-on-humans/ ?
Gab es auch non-invasiv mit mehr Features.

@totempole Don't worry about it, this will mark it as a first edition and increase the value immensely once it becomes a collector's item. 😉
