Phosphenes

@mii@awful.systems @BlueMonday1984@awful.systems I don't know your situation, but I'd feed the dragon until it gags. They want slopcode pushed by the ton? Give it to them. Double and triple down on that until, at whatever point they beg you to stop, it is too late for them to recover either their codebase or their company from ruin.

@tdpsk@sueden.social @Cyclist@mastodon.scot @VE3RWJ@mastodon.radio @pluralistic@mamot.fr But can it collect data from inside my mouth and sell it to advertizers? Because that's what I really want.

@daniel@colquitt.xyz @albertcardona@mathstodon.xyz Thanks to dyslexia, it takes me about 4 times as long as anyone to read anything. The most important thing I learned from university was when to quit and do something else. 😄

@noodlemaz@mstdn.games @MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk Jesus. AFTER a 12 mile run. Breaking glass underwater is not easy either, he probably cut his foot something awful.

@Sanderde@mstdn.ca @flyhigh@universeodon.com @dbattistella@mstdn.ca Oh I never knew trains did that! Makes sense. Where we live all the rails are in pairs.

@ParadeGrotesque@mastodon.sdf.org @spellingmistakescostlives@mastodon.ie These are the 4 stages of a breaded prawn's metamorphosis.

@romabysen@mastodon.social @cstross@wandering.shop That would be fucking hilarious. Farage driving the UK like a clown car while its parts fall off in the road.

@alice@lgbtqia.space Do existing dating sites include your art portfolio? They should.

@sarah@sosial.link @rmd1023@infosec.exchange Typical IT project overpromising deadlines.

@windgott@tech.lgbt @ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt I love how the Sun is a horrible angry monster. That's how it feels, puts the lie to this:

@mcfly@milliways.social @bert_hubert@eupolicy.social I don't know how much this has sunk in around the world, but the current US administration is fully criminal. It does not respect any law or boundary it can break. That includes any US corporation they have any power over, which is basically all of them. Run, don't walk, away from any dealings with them, as if your life depended on it. Your data is not safe, your infrastructure is not safe, your lives are not safe.

@Bfordham@infosec.exchange @austinkocher@mastodon.social Yes WTF do elections have to do with ICE's stated purpose? They're not even pretending now.

@X_tof@stuttgart.social @suehlmann_faul@social.tchncs.de @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social @kuketzblog@social.tchncs.de For those of us without GrapheneOS, there appear to be Duress apps for regular Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.lucky.duress&hl=en_US

@pikario@mastodon.gamedev.place You put the winding back in rewinding.

@cstross This needs a whole back story about a GMO scientist who caught fire and plunged into the produce section. Today he fights crime and scurvy.

@timnolli@convo.casa @catsalad@infosec.exchange On a side note, people always summarize time in quarters and halves, EG 'quarter till one' or 'half past three'. So I say 'a third past eight' for 8:20, or 'two thirds past six' for 6.40.

@tomminieminen @cmconseils Yes just bang kitten against the door and noooo. 😭

@CarstenBoll@mstdn.dk @futurebird@sauropods.win I always think of this:

@alice@lgbtqia.space It'd be fun to swipe right or left on paintings, writing, music, sculpture etc. instead of faces. Often when someone's art speaks to me personally, I find them more attractive.

@davidtheeviloverlord @futurebird Sadly the boney fish Pica caught was the ancestor of all of us. 💀

@EthicalProfessor@mstdn.social That about sums it up.

@Seb1982 @quixoticgeek It's a sitting duck for drones.

@jenny753@indiepocalypse.social @djsundog@fedi.reclaim.technology Oh how wonderful! 😍 Happy Anniversary!

@Hammerwell@troet.cafe @ZhiZhu@newsie.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr Who's all in for the Butlerian Jihad?

@futurebird@sauropods.win @Dodo_sipping@cupoftea.social @knitting@fedigroups.social I didn't realize it but you're right.

@zimzat@mastodon.social @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange Whenever I have to learn a new framework/language, I search: sucks And I get a lot more information about the warts and farts *that will inevitably bite me* than any tutorial would ever fully disclose.

@steveriggins@mastodon.social @CStamp@mastodon.social @octothorpe@mastodon.online @Dex@scalie.club Our lawn solution is pine trees.

@PeteLittle@autistics.life @cstross@wandering.shop Or Maximilian for home chores.

@pentup @slashdottir I hate to say it but in my mind I've been calling favorites boops for a very long time now.

@Ailbhe @futurebird @ModestinoSycamore @benroyce @dgar @geckzilla Yeah after I posted I saw that peas were already in the OP chart, at 1/4 inch. Too small for 1 cm! Chickpeas? They are supposed to be between 6mm to 14mm. Right range but too broad.

@futurebird @ModestinoSycamore @benroyce @dgar @geckzilla 1 cm might be a green pea.

@shadowdancer@mstdn.social @catsalad@genealysis.social Every Roomba is a cat scooter.

@JohannaForster@mastodon.art Ah makes me think of Silent Running.

@gwoptics@mastodon.nl I think that's the Iberian Peninsula in the lower left.

@jenny753@indiepocalypse.social @djsundog@fedi.reclaim.technology 'Emergency HO scale New York U-Haul truck' must have an interesting backstory. If you're game I'd love to hear it.

@PeteLittle@autistics.life @cstross@wandering.shop Oh man I never made that connection. 😀

@beemoh @futurebird Beach of Jimmy Hoffa.

@maxpool@mathstodon.xyz @liw@toot.liw.fi @retrocomputing@mastodon.social @Ketakater@social.vivaldi.net @pluralistic@mamot.fr It's cool when an author would rather be read than rich.

@liiwi @futurebird I have always thought there can be intelligence without identity. A big part of intelligence seems to be about answering the question 'what happens next?' every moment of its existence. Answering this question covers everything from a dropping a ball to Relativity. NOT saying this is all of intelligence, just one of its major tasks. This part doesn't need to have a 'me' in the model.

@ra6bit If you scream long enough into the void, the void will scream back into you.

@asoasf@sigmoid.social @fatsam@mstdn.social Yes you beat me to it. Go see Tom the Dancing Bug.

@bodil @VANTABlack2000 When Ubuntu made the bad decision to look like a phone everywhere with Unity, Mint went the opposite direction. So maybe Mint has more sense.

@flyhigh@universeodon.com @dbattistella@mstdn.ca 'Y'all need to hurry up... We're encased in flames.' Then they stay and keep filming. 😆 😱 It looks like the Hellbound Train delivering souls.

@ZachWeinersmith@mastodon.social Who is the man who will spend or will even lend? Shenanigan, That's Me! Who is your friend when you find that you need a friend? Shenanigan, That's Me! 🍀

@da_beda@mstdn.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr I came to see my phone security as a wall, and every app was a pinhole making it into a sieve. The browser is just one hole. It's a big one but all my border guards are lined up there checking everything.

@indivisibleteam@mastodon.social 'In the mail with your doge check.' - best one.

@rebeccawatson "but if you’re interested, check out this video I made in 2022 on this topic, largely inspired by my having read Siddhartha" It seems like there is supposed to be a link in this sentence but there isn't. Is that intentional?

@axwax@chaos.social Freshly plucked from the eggplant.

@kauer@aus.social @inthehands@hachyderm.io Yes is waiting in dots a typo?

@annamam@mastodon.social Oh damn I didn't know you lived there. I wish you safety.
