So, jetzt bin ich endlich genug akklimatisiert und angekommen um zu fragen: Wer ist von euch eigentlich auf dem #39c3?
@gsuberland i saw a video a few minutes ago of a 70s product from the USA. It was a hot dog cooker, you stick the sausages between two metal spikes, then close the flimsy plastic lid to activate the machine and make a direct electrical connection between the wall socket and the hot dogs. Anyways,
@halcy oh yeah I've seen those things. I guess at least in the USA you're doing it with half the voltage.
I am suuuuuperpissed-off that the flu jabs *that we had to pay for* have done nothing, and that I’m down with the flu anyway, alongside upwards of three-quarters of everyone else I know. I guess they misjudged which strain was going to dominate this year? Argh.
@adamgreenfield yeah, the vax this year is only 40% effective against this year's strain. Hope you feel better soon
Upon submitting my rating for Bugonia on letterboxd it presented me with this captcha, which amused me :)
(The movie is great, imo)
My wife says I'm not allowed to listen to Bach at bed time
Apparently it gets me overexcited
MY FACE JUMPSCARE but I put a lot of talks on my website so hopefully this helps with knowing what Cat is up to and where to get more of: THIS FACE
NZers, you're probably seeing the campaign to look at a minimum age for kids to be on social media. I think the real questions go like this:
Do you trust social media companies like Meta and X to hold, manage and protect personally-identifying information about our young people?
or...
Do you trust (and want) the government to put tax spend into creating and running a mechanism to hold, manage and protect personally-identifying information about our young people?
Because if you're a no on both of those, we don't need to talk about whether a minimum age is a good idea.

They are very cool people
@TheBreadmonkey do they have birds?
The thing about “Somali Fraud” is that Donald Trump raped and sexually abused girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring.
@matz My Immortal degli Evanescence - La voce della solista è magnifica e l'arrangiamento del piano è musicalmente povero, acusticamente scadente, ma incredibilmente suggestivo
Working with big spatial data sets in #rstats? You should try {duckspatial}. The dev version of #duckspatial (soon on CRAN) uses #duckdb to perform super fast and memory efficient spatial operations cidree.github.io/duckspatial/... In a benchmark against, {sf}....
I guess inflation was on the minds of millions this year. And Labubu. Height is correlated to search interest.
@sidereal it's 2026 and I still only buy phones that still have them. Currently Moto G Stylus 2025.
That said, people also said I'd like having a big phone once I got one. Nope, gimme back my tiny phones.

@thomasfuchs *screaming* 🤣 🤣 🤣
Today I learnt that French novelist and journalist Émile Zola spent his exile in London taking voyeuristic photos of Victorian women on bicycles. Who knew?
While I often use #openstreetmap and especially the excellent @organicmaps app, I wonder if there is an alternative to reviews on #googlemaps?
Is there any #opensource solution - ideally even #federated?
Having a solution based on #activitypub that allows reviews for POIs on @openstreetmap might be very interesting and open a lot of opportunities.
