Tonight was the closest pass. Got this then clouds came in. I will get another chance in 50,000 years.

Will you play #FOSDEMgeddon this year? https://gist.github.com/bagder/91312bc0a45f657da1db291d8e5f3cf4 🤠

Elon shutting down the whole entire twitter api to prevent people from finding their followers on mastodon……. Whew!

Too bad they didn't announce the new TwitterDev 2.0 animated logo along with this change.

from the time that we reported a scam app impersonating Brave and stealing cryptocurrency, it took 16 days and escalation to multiple Google employees for Google Play to take it down. the app had been up since Dec 19(!) and had over 1k users :(. https://community.brave.com/t/brave-wallet-app-scam-on-google-store/463774

Twitter just announced free access to the Twitter API will end on February 9, with unannounced pricing or usage details, effectively killing every free fun and useful thing ever built with it: bots, games, mashups, visualizations, research projects, autoposters, autoblockers, deleters, and so much more. https://twitter.com/twitterdev/status/1621026986784337922

Chaosnet: The #Lisp Machine network protocol that was beat by TCP/IP

"The only really visible remnant of #Chaosnet is the CH DNS class. There’s something about that fact that I find strangely fascinating. The CH class is a vestigial ghost of an alternative network protocol in a world that has long since settled on TCP/IP. It’s exciting, at least to me, to know that the last traces of Chaosnet still lurk out there in the infrastructure of our networked society. The CH DNS class is a fun artifact of digital archaeology. But it’s also a living reminder that the internet was not born fully formed, that TCP/IP is not the only way to connect computers to each other, and that “the internet” is far from the coolest name we could have had for our global communication system."

Do you know this species? Greta oto is a species of brush-footed #butterfly and member of the subfamily Danainae, tribe Ithomiini, and subtribe Godyridina. It is known by the common name glass wing butterfly for its transparent wings, which allow it to camouflage without extensive coloration. In Spanish it's espejitos, meaning "little mirrors" because of its transparent wings. #Photographer unknown

The tape-tearing tiktok you didn’t know you needed:

@GossiTheDog I bet it's DNS.
Because IT IS ALWAYS DNS!

And global sea-ice extent has now set a new *all-time* record low...

➡️ Arctic (2nd lowest on record for date) + Antarctic (lowest on record for date)

Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you, it just takes 75 to 100 years ...
