We're watching the time-delayed opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics and cheered on the tiny boat of athletes from Eswatini, then looked it up:

  • Twenty-eight percent of the adult population is HIV-positive
  • Eswatini has the 12th-lowest life expectancy in the world, at 58 years
  • People aged 14 years or younger constitute 35% of the country's population
  • The median age is 22 years

@AlaskaWx They then had a heavy rain shower that dropped 0.93" in 1 hour. This is a 500-year rain amount for 1 hour according to NOAA Atlas 14. The 2-hour total of 1.23" has a 1000-year recurrence interval.

@linguistics @linguistics

Please share to expand reach.

This is a longshot, but I'm looking for someone that knows the Alutiiq language. I am a writer and one of my characters is Alutiiq. She does not speak the language but her parents did, so I am looking for help picking a name for her.

If you know anyone that lives in the Anchorage Alaska area they would be most likely to know someone.

This is the first time since NINETEEN SEVENTY SIX that nobody named Bush, Clinton, or Biden is on the presidential ticket. FORTY-EIGHT YEARS.

Gentle reminder and request.

We are all going to see a lot of inflammatory, viral, racist, sexist libelous shit over the next months.

Your rage is what they want. They want you to dunk on it, repost it with your hot takes, and spread it.

Deny them the free publicity and platform. Please don't link, quote, or share that stuff.

Let it wither in darkness and loneliness.

Sunlight may be the best disinfectant when facts are in play, but this is influence. Repeating lies spreads them.

„Last Coffee Shop Before the Galaxy“! (2024) ✨ 🪐 ☕

Old #punk lady's #coffee shop on the #moon where the young #space kids fighting for free space travel drop by before going on their #adventures.

I'm a huge #astronomy and #coffee #nerd but I don't really express these in my #art so I thought why not combine the two ^__^

#JfmlArt #illustration #creative #DigitalArt #FediArt #MastoArt #CreativeToots #ArtWithOpenSource #ArtistsOnMastodon #inkscape #SciFi #ScienceFiction #horror #milkyway

Monochrome illustration of the inside of a hipster coffee shop, the old lady barista is just doing some latte art, there are stickers on the coffee machine and the walls are full of coffee making equipment, that have tiny astronomical things in them (a miniature sun, moons, planets etc). There's a giant window from which you can see the surface of the moon, the earthrise and our milky way in the background.

Mess

The film transport in my Contax III is strong. So strong that when it reaches the end of the roll, it just keeps going, and going, and going, giving no indication that it’s the end. Hence this frame, with maybe 5 or 6 exposures. Kirkland Signature 200 (made by Agfa, expired 2002), ECN-2 development.

#BelieveInFilm

Buildings and trees and cars and sky and clouds and streets merge into a mess.

Do you know how to revoke a user's access in an emergency? This could be due to a compromised account, employee termination, insider threat or another reason.

In short you need to

❌ Disable the user in Active Directory
❌ Reset the user's password twice in the Active Directory
❌ Disable the user in Microsoft Entra ID
❌ Revoke the user's Microsoft Entra ID refresh tokens
❌ Disable the user's devices

The good news is there's a really good doc that includes the cmdlets you can use for automating the steps 👇

Seagulls Will Eat Your Food

I had lunch at Moby’s Lobster Hut last week. Took the Kiev 88cm with me while testing my backs. They all had light leaks. I still like these two photos and think they need to be seen together. Fomapan 400, Rodinal 1:50.

#ShittyCameraChallenge #BelieveInFilm

Diptych; left photo shows a seagull standing on a railing overlooking a picnic table, where there is a tray containing a sandwich, french fries, and a beer. The right photo focuses on a chalkboard with the words “Please Don’t Leave Food Unattended. Seagulls Will Eat Your Food!!"

@ducky How have you been? Do I remember correctly that you went to UBC?

...and we're back, again. Finally got the blob.db down from 21 GB to 3 GB. Going to set up a job to run cleanup weekly, I think. #honknet

Context- someone on the birdside are blaming #crowdstrike on DEI hiring

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on 1/3

I saw an interview with a 97 year old woman in the bay area who is being studied for her ‘super ageing’, she was like ‘I love people, I love walking, I love life, I have absolutely no regrets’

Why tf are literal murderers and plunderers held up as a model of success, instead of little old ladies with no regrets

Mastodon is the world's biggest community of people who deeply love computers and also think that the world would probably be better off without computers

My friend Vanessa and her friend Courtney are making tintypes at Trinity Church in Asbury Park today, either on black aluminum or, and this is so cool, on 45 rpm singles. Absolutely love the 45s. We got one of us.

Time Traveling Armadillos Wet Plate Collodion Hand Made Photographs. 4+5 tintype $65. Vinyl record $50.

@danilo I was using them to deobfuscate some JavaScript a while back and it kept failing miserably in unfathomable ways (most interestingly giving me someone else's deobfuscated URLs).

I flipped it and asked it to teach me how to debofuscate the same code and it did a much better job. Every time my output didn't match its, I asked it to show me why and it would find some new and novel way to spot an error it had made previously, or a step it had skipped.

I suspect we reprogrammed each other.

@[email protected] This TV always reminds me of my idea to open a cafe where there is a wall of TVs like this in different colors, all arranged nicely in a grid.

Each TV will be playing a VHS tape of something different but equally as weird and they'll all be assigned a number.

Kind of similar to a tabletop jukebox at a booth in a diner, each table will have a small drive-in theater speaker where you can tune into whichever TV you want to watch/hear, but where it will only be loud enough to project within the area of that table.

I have to say the relentless MEDIA drumbeat calling for Biden to step aside, plus their relentless quibbling about his gaffes, together with their absolute SILENCE over Trump's gaffes, crimes, and general insanity is very, very tiring and depressing.
