“The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory.
The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control.
The world is rudderless.”

@robpike I did this for my mother-in-law and her iPhone is an older model. I assumed it worked on every iPhone. It doesn't work for you?

I'm an Android user and a big fan of BeyondPod to manage podcasts: only keep one, keep the latest, delete it as soon as it's been played, download only on wifi while I'm sleeping. It's not rocket science.
BeyondPod is no longer supported or installable and Google Podcasts is ending next month so I've been giving YouTube Music a chance. I think it can only do two of the things above. Come on, Google, I can do (and have done) this in bash
.
Looking for a new podcast app if anyone knows of a good one. Podbean, maybe?

Here's what to know about dengue, as Puerto Rico declares a public health emergency
Most people with dengue will show no signs of infection or experience only mild symptoms, but in rare cases infections can become severe and potentially fatal. #press

@tmcfarlane Very nice!
The “Cooking With #DuckDB" e-book is progressing pretty well. 18 "cookbook-style" chapters that cover common use-cases with plenty of examples.
Spent some extra time on "Read Parquet File(s) From The Web" to peel back the covers on how DuckDB does remote Parquet ops so fast.
Now has a cover img & repo links: https://duckdb.hrbrmstr.app/
Another image from wanderings around the local area some time ago. I'm not a massive fan of bokeh, but when the blur comes good it can make for a lovely image. This one pleases me no end.

Trump has embraced Jan. 6. The extremist message may alienate — or resonate
He praises defendants who are charged with rioting that day. His campaign's launch site has connections to extremist violence. Experts worry he's tapping into anger that motivated domestic terrorism. #press

Catwalks - Woodside
Another version of this photo, a white cat looks both ways then calmly walks across the track at Woodside Tram Stop
I almost forgot to capture photography of the cat because I was initially concerned for the feline until I realised it was a pro track crosser

If I shoot color on 35mm, I’m usually shooting Fuji 400 or Kodak 500T. The motion picture processing is a bit of a pain (I used to do it myself but don’t love it). Usually people say use a warming filter to make it look less blue, but sometimes that works.
3 photos from Singapore on 500T. If you’re ever in Singapore get your film developed at whampoa colour centre. It’s very affordable. Get film there too. Cash or local mobile wallet payment only

I usually pack a camera around like Linus's blanket, but I was hustling this morning and forgot one. So, at lunch, I bought a couple of rolls of film to balance out the universe, even though the universe doesn't work that way.
The Big Issue (a homeless magazine and social enterprise) has had a ransomware incident running for about a week, appears they haven’t disclosed it.
Pretty messed up target as homeless people sell the magazine, which makes next to no money in profit.

Maybe my mind is slipping but I'm pretty sure way back in the day there were "Cast" buttons all over apps like Plex and even inside video players in Firefox on my phone, and I could just click the button to play the video on my Chromecast.
Those disappeared at some point and now the only options are to play from a small number of applications like Netflix, or to just cast the whole damn screen which is a terrible "solution"
I assume Google realized allowing people to cast too easily was eating into some profit somewhere, and thus made it shittier.

What I failed to mention in the Bonus Drop post last night is that I have an in-progress e-book on "Cooking With #DuckDB" up & posting new chapters regularly.

I still need to add repo metadata to the yaml and am trying to figure out something decent for a cover (I will *not* use image gen AI for it).

Recently, I've been drawn back to square format after looking at all the lovely images from @aows. I don't think he actually uses Mastodon for the community aspect, but does post his images. But, I'm being challenged to think a bit differently about my work, which is always a good thing.

Okay for hard SF I would recommend: literally anything by Ursula K Le Guin literally anything by Greg Egan
Ursula K Le Guin is one of the best authors I've ever read and she does an amazing job not being edgelord. The Dispossessed is 11/10, and I really liked The Lathe of Heaven and The Word for World is Forest.
Greg Egan is good if you want even harder sci fi. Poke around on gregegan.net to get an idea about what I mean, I gave up Dichronauts because I couldn't understand the physics. If you liked the specific anxieties they talked about in Blindsight (90% of the reason I liked that book) I'd recommend Permutation City. I also _really_ liked Quarantine, and I thought Schild's Ladder had some super cool world building.
To be honest, this freaks me out a little.

Two weeks. Not bad!
Fairbanks Airport up to 51F (10.6C) through 430pm Sunday. This is not the warmest sustained weather this early in the Spring, but close. 1915, 1998 and 2019 all had 5-day average temperatures a little higher than this warm spell (so far). #akwx #weather #Spring2024
