Okay new benchmark: when It Happens here, we need a rave. I think we all deserve a rave.

Datacenters Behaving Like Acoustic Weapons YouTube video by Benn Jordan

Yep. @bennjordan.bsky.social has an excellent video teaching and showing how bad these are. And it made us better understand how the generator noise from the water plant nearby our house is likely the cause of our discomfort outside when it’s running.

anyone who says people opposing data centers are just nimbys need to stop echoing industry propaganda and see what it’s actually like to live near one

Quand vraiment cool qu’ils aient choisi d’utiliser Nix. Certes, ça fait beaucoup de sens, mais je m’attendais au même move que bien des entreprises qui choisissent Ubuntu par exemple sans y réfléchir parce que c’est un des noms les plus populaires.

Guaranteed. That’ll likely make @lykos.net happy too. uwu

Not sure I count (I guess so?) but part of my life (professional side) is pretty much on point with what I wanted to do.
The rest isn’t. At all. 😆

Y’all are making me want to try it next year. :o

A drawing of a pine marten with some leaves behind her, showing off her paws with the text "Do my gay little paws piss you off?" around her.

ooh, do they??? huh???
wanna kiss me about it?????

Oh right! I remember that fact. But I didn’t know about the game existing tho!

Ah indeed. That looks interesting. 👀

There’s a game based off that show?

No way that was simply available in public GIFs 😂

THATS NOT A BUG

Watching the descent & crying. I remember John Glenn & all the capsules splashing down. It's so important that we get our heads out of our navels and do space science.

Fund NASA.

Funding NASA is funding this planet‘s near and long-term health. You think solar power just appeared? GPS? Weather prediction? Battery tech? Most aspects of the microcontroller? Velcro? Space sciences are planetary sciences!

This is why we should fund science.

What made the Metaverse so funny is that VR was always destined for Furries and anime avatar weirdos hanging out in an accurate recreation of a Waffle House and any attempt to extend that to normies was destined to fail.

One thing I find interesting is that despite seemingly the ENTIRE INDUSTRY trying to kill VR and make it seem as uncool as possible... VRChat has grown almost every month for almost eight years now and is among the top 25 most played things on Steam.

Niche? Perhaps, but a big & hungry one.

There are still good things in the world. Human curiosity is one of them. I'm full of love for people. What a cool thing that happned. :)

HELL YEAH! They're all out of the ship, safe and sound! 🎉💖
Like they said, I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working. 🙏🏻

I just end up increasingly more and more stressed, because now I'm several times over the 5 minute deadline to fix it, making it harder to focus on the fix.

So please, if you think about saying this, don't. It does more harm than good - problems are often more complex than they seem on the surface.

"It just takes 5 minutes to fix this, why haven't you done it already?" is one of the most motivation and sanity draining things I hear some people say.

So many times I would get into seemingly quick fix, only to spend hours going down a complex rabbit hole. (continuing)
