How do you feel about your instance admin?

We were priviledged to have seen a flock of 60 Bohemian Waxings for almost a full week whle migrating towards the north, passing through our area. No berries left anywhere !!! #ottawa #birds #birdphotography #birdwatching #nature #wildlifephotography #nature #NaturePhotography

Original post: I now have a limited number of review copies of "50 Years of Text Games" ready to send out. If anyone in my MastoNetwork has an audience interested in a 600+ page book about the history of interactive fiction, get in touch!

A singularly important moment in our recent history.

I work on computers to have enough money to buy more computers.

I’m in Athens, Georgia, where the railroad trestle from the back cover of R.E.M.’s MURMUR, after being on the verge of collapsing for years, was not only saved by the city and locals but has been incorporated into a beautiful new rail trail, so if you’re wondering how we can get more bikeable and walkable infrastructure, the answer is to get more bands to put existing structures in need of repair on their albums.

Of all the recent reports on psychotherapy clinic Vastaamo's data breach cluster****, I enjoyed yours the most, @smashingsecurity 😍

Lots of chuckles, thank you. 👍🏻

In Germany it is a long weekend coming up.

It is your chance to rewrite an OSS project. Don't let doubters distract you. We'll talk again on Tuesday!😍

I just learned there is a type of #bird in #Japan called Shima Enaga and it is so goddamn #cute I'm pissed that I'm just now learning about it. Look at it. LOOK AT IT! IT'S MADE OF SUNLIGHT AND SASS!

This is what an erupting volcano looks like from space.

Part of my day job is maintaining and expanding a Win32 / MFC / C++ / C app I originally wrote over 25 years ago. It works well, a couple thousand people use it every day and say nice things, and it’s backwards compatible to XP, which some of our clients still have.

This week, I started exploring a re-write, using modern Windows languages and frameworks, with the idea than surely — surely — things have become significantly less complex in the last couple of decades.

Oh.

Oh, no.

Oh, God, no.

So folks, don't forget to check if your Ikea chair is compatible with your screen. I'm not kidding. A thread 🧵.

I've had the problem with my new screen for several weeks now, that every now and then the screen goes black for a few seconds.

Today I had enough and wanted to investigate the problem. So I started changing all the cables, plugging the screen into a different socket, and and and. Nothing helped.

I never thought of the knight being an anti-queen before now.

Only those who have been here will understand 😔

Evening mograph. I was mostly done building a new node to do something when I realized my existing stuff already did it. Behold.... uh, flying wireframes. Shades of old screensavers, as usual.

Gallup reports that favorability of Russia is lower than it has been at any time during the 34 years that they have been tracking it.

"I've actually seen people who aren't programmers, and they're not software engineers, and they've never done security research and they are having a whale of a time with this, because you can be a hacker now just typing English into a box"

The line “Disney regrets that it has come to this” may be the single most terrifying line ever committed to a press release.
