#ThrowbackThursday San Emigdio Canyon CA, May 2023, 2 of 2 (the absolute most ladybugs I've ever seen in one place, must have found a spawn point)

a rich and high contrast (not adjusted) close-up of two deep red ladybugs crawling across the surface of a rich lavender lupine plant, with a blurry surrounding forest of lupine in the background

two ladybugs in competition with three ants to get at the pollen at the center of a lupine plant - seems like the ants got there first, and have first dibs

a dandelion flower, not quite fully bloomed yet, still 80% tucked into its green protective tube body, with a single ladybug exploring its outer edge, the surrounding scene being reflected on the sheen of its wings

a close-up of a patch of ground with fully HUNDREDS of ladybugs crawling over it, likely exactly where they were spawned - some green plant leaves that are likely to soon become food, but mostly roots

a skinny-but-large black beetle with an iridescent blue sheen, climbs over a lupine plant he's been chewing away at, with more purple lupine blurry in the background

a close-up of the inside of a white desert flower blossom with patches of red, and inside, a yellow-and-black-patterned bug collecting pollen, its shadow visible on the petals

the vibrant "purple explosion" blossom of a young thistle bloom, with two ants exploring its insides to collect pollen

a desert moth of some type alit on a plant blossom head, with a fuzzy blue & silver body, and black & white striped antennae

Hey I submitted my first bug report to KDE! That is one way to contribute to open source, yes?

Crashing Scribblenauts
A quick one today, busyman demonstrates six ways to crash Scribblenauts games. To remind: Scribblenauts is a game where you have a magic notebook that creates things you write in it, if you just know the word for it. It's one of a very small number of games that attempt to be exhaustive over some domain: if you know the word for it, then there's likely to be an object

At the top adult forms of four insect species including two moths (Spodoptera fruigperda and Galleria mellonella) and two beetles (Tenebrio molitor and Zophobas atratus), in the middle the larvae of the four species and below three kinds of plastic PVC (colored sheets), PE (plastic bags, bottles and stuff) and PS (styrofoam particles) showing the outer insects can degrade the first and last plastic and the middle insects can degrade PE and the other plastic on their own side.

Fixing sudden, random iPhone disconnects from Image Capture

So if you have spotty cellular service – because perhaps you live in the United States, where that’s the only kind of cellular service on offer – you might find that happens so often that you can’t complete basic media transfers in Image Capture.

Thankfully the workaround is simple – […]

Playing Majora’s Mask on Day 4: What and How
The gameplay of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is famously limited to three days. After three days the moon crashes into the town, destroying it. You have to go back in time before then (which also saves the game) and continue completing subquests in a non-linear, atemporal kind of way.

But as it turns out, t

Moving the taskbar to the bottom is a great improvement, thanks.

Zooming breaks the location of the taskbar so it floats up and down hiding buttons.

Thanks again for everything, Mastodon is a gift.
