  1. \o/ yay.

    I have managed to repurpose an old Galaxy S7 with thanks to this hoopy frood: github.com/flo2theO/Samsung-Ga

    The Android 8.0.0 that was on there was refusing to allow (#syncthingFork really) to store a large (200GB) shared folder on an SD card. The shared folder being my collection, which I'm switching back to because all services suck.

    with the excellent for playback: folderplayer.com
    (for those of us who already have a folder-curated collection)

    for laptop side curation and tagging

    for syncing.

  3. Anthony LaPaglia: ‘There is not a role I didn’t get that I ever gave more than four hours of grievance to – even Tony Soprano’
    By Sian Cain

    The actor on surviving 2000s network television in Without a Trace, the role that made him take Brad Pitt seriously, and leaving the US to ‘ride out Trump’

  4. Finally realizing that there are multiple not-entirely-compatible type "namespaces" in C, and figuring out the one that is the CORRECT one for my problem, was a breakthru for me today. char vs uint8_t vs int vs nullptr.

  5. My favourite apple tree (the one outside my office window) has fallen victim to storm Boelo 😢. It is still standing but it has lost a main branch and is now very lopsided. The trunk is hollow so it’s pretty vulnerable. It is laden with fruit as the variety is late to ripen. I started picking them today with the intention of making cider. I will need to look into propagating it fairly soon, just in case we lose it. No idea how mind.

    It was like a little whirlwind came through. My husband had gone out to get something from his workshop just before it got dark and I was preparing dinner. There was then a great swirling wind that threw leaves at the kitchen window, which was weird. It’s in a sheltered spot, the main wind direction coming from the opposite side of the house. I remember thinking that he’d picked the wrong time to go outside. When he came back in he said that he rushed into his workshop as he saw a ‘ball of rain’ come over the field. The branch came down just after.

  6. @tootapp is there no good way to mute a hashtag from the app? I can follow or pin, but not mute?

  7. I guess there was no way a match in Augsburg *wasn’t* going to be weird 😳 #fcunion

  9. I see sentiment that there's "good AI," but I think I'll have to disagree.

    I've seen tools that are intended to help artists—i.e. "close this hand," "change these eyes," stuff that takes more fiddling with to get looking right—and I still can't quite condone their use at all.

    Your job as an artist is to figure this stuff out. You are literally here because you understand translating 3D concepts to 2D images; generative AI, no matter how small in its applications, is going to cause any of your skills to atrophy. It often relies on datacenters, which are *still* guzzling water and having drastic effects on farmers across the globe. It's a global warming machine that takes away our knowledge and replaces it with dependence.

    We should never be using AI to create, nor as a mentor or teacher.

  10. Oh hey there li'l guy ...

Louder Sound 🤘 “There’s no real excuse”: Protest The Hero can’t explain why it took six years to release Within: Canadians discuss the hidden promises on their sixth album, how it feels to be elder statesmen of prog metal, and why they have two different line-ups operating side by side dlvr.it/TW2wty LinkInBio for More 🤘

  12. Somewhere in this uncaring universe there's a planet whose evolution produced a race of disembodied hands who, when they are finally freed of this mortal coil, do not cross over but instead become ghosts and spend eternity touching naked people in porn scenarios; that's what I call 'cosmic horrorny'

  14. I offer up this Yew tree at Tarrington church for #ThickTrunkTuesday and #TextureTuesday 😊

    At a mere 4.64m girth, it's only considered a 'notable tree' on the Woodland Trust database, but I was struck by its trunk of rippling muscle texture.

    Also, an excuse to boost my most recent piece of writing, which is about trees but not really, and involves the search for a tree that no longer exists! You can read it here:

  16. A quotation (not) from John Adams

    There are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live.

    John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founder, statesman; US President (1797–1801)
    (Misattributed)

  19. I juiced enough apples from the damaged tree for one batch of cider. Still have enough to do at least one more. Not as many as last year, and smaller fruit but tasty all the same. Hopefully it ciders ok.
