@mgifford @foxylad Hah! I used to be vegan but became vegetarian basically only for cheese. 😄

Hey vegetarians! Question for you... before you became veggie, did you:

Heavy metal fans have been told to take off smartwatches at UK festival.

That’s because, as well as black T-shirts, a lot of the metal heads at the festival wear smartwatches and other devices that automatically make 999 calls to police because “the tech assumed that people in moshpits had been in a collision,” according to Leicestershire police.

@ochtendgrijs Jep, veel (de meeste?) journalisten doen slecht werk.

Maar … da’s waarschijnlijk deels te verklaren door de beloningsstructuur. Meer clicks = meer geld, dus weinig motivatie om kwaliteit af te leveren.

Zowat hetzelfde verhaal bij software engineers 🫣

These are some vector drawings that I made for the Peertube crowdfunding campaign. The campaign ends in a few days, so if you'd like to help them improve their software, now's the time! https://support.joinpeertube.org/en/

@stroobl @burne En efficiëntie van zonnepanelen is hoger als ze koeler zijn. Wat deels te danken is aan de (circulerende) lucht tussen de dakpannen en de zonnepanelen.

Verre van eenvoudig inderdaad, om dat precies uit te rekenen!

This is the 100 year anniversary of humans having an idea of what the heck the sun and all the stars actually are. If you had asked a leading astronomer in 1925 what the sun was, they would say that it's basically the same as Earth, but very hot.

In Cecilia Payne's doctoral thesis she was the first to say, from spectral data, that the sun was overwhelmingly made of hydrogen and helium.

It was later described as "the most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy".

@pfsmet Daarom heb ik m’n eigen weerstation (woon in centrum Gent) met bijbehorende voorspelling. Veel accurater dan KMI en andere bronnen.

Scheelt vaak meerdere graden, zowel in observatie als voorspelling.

@ochtendgrijs die €120 is trouwens puur voor extraatjes.

Als je bij het ziekenfonds van de overheid (dus niet geassocieerd met een van dd historische pijlers) gaat, dan kost het je €0.

Wou dat ik dat al 15 jaar geleden wist 😇

Werkt even snel/goed/digitaal als CM.

@lieven OTOH more open than Unifi: https://github.com/firewalla/firewalla

@stroobl In ‘t midden van de stad is er geen groen 🥳🤐🫣

First .webp, now .avif! 🎉🖼️ It seems that image formats are having a bit of a moment.

Support for .avif has been added to #drupal core: https://www.drupal.org/node/3511540 🔗

.avif is an open-source image format that often has better compression than .webp. 🚀

I enjoyed Jeet Mehta's take on writing even though few people will read what you write.

In particular, his take on using yourself as proxy for the audience resonates with me.

> Your audience is just you, pushed outwards.

I write things that interest me. Hopefully, it will be interesting to other people too.

Internet Archive is looking for engineering managers with a rare set of experiences, and we could use your help.

Do you know someone with extensive experience using PHP as a systems language? Someone who has gardened a petabyte-scale system under high load? Is this person a player/coach engineering manager who enjoys helping other people succeed?

If you do know someone like this, or someone close, I would love to talk to them.

@lieven @peturdainn What’s your take on https://firewalla.com gear?

(Been contemplating both Unifi and Firewalla.)

@godpod damn I love @theonion.

From a presentation I'm doing tomorrow, a great insight from Edsger Dijkstra, "Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better." - https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/EWD896.html

Nu zondag organiseert @flordi haar zesde FOSS overstap-event. Altijd interessant, maar zondag gaat Stijn Vanhandsaeme van @nubo_coop en @nestor_coop ook aanwezig zijn om het oa. over Nubo te hebben als alternatief voor de Big Bro Tech.
Allen daarheen en zet de overstap!
