In-reply-to » @bender Haha, one could think it's so cold over here, even the posts have to wear beanies. :-D 04 was actually in a villa garden not too far from the edge of the village. Those plants in 05 are tiiiny. Not sure if eating them is healthy. I'm glad about the temperatures, no interest in trading them. ;-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hahhaha! Succulent, as in this type of plant. Certainly not looking to eat them, for sure! 😅

In-reply-to » After making three crosses (state and mayoral election) my mate and I went into the wildernes. Well, nature at least. There are heaps of people out there, too. The 13°C (and still raising) are very nice. I'm drowing in sweat, though.

About those 13ºC… oh my, how we wish…. we currently have 28ºC, cloudy.

In-reply-to » @lyse he will tell you, like in "The Princess and the Pea", it was horrendous, but I made it to dawn!

@bender@twtxt.net Just for fun, I made it through the entire Wikipedia article and I find it interesting, how deeply one can analyze a fairytale. :-D This also made me realize that, as a kid, I never questioned why the princess was traveling alone without any servants etc.

Finally, the Danish language lacks the subjunctive. Wow! I didn’t know that.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I know it’s crazy right 🤯 these things are just tools. They’re not even remotely intelligent at all. In fact they are actually quite stupid. If you feed it garbage you get garbage out! The only interesting thing is that you get somewhat intelligible garbage out 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net So many people calling this thing “he” and saying things like “I had a discussion with him” or “he explained his reasoning”, it’s mind boggling. Nobody even questions it anymore.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh god, make it stop!

Recently the guy maintaining chardet changed its GPL license to MIT because “it is a complete re-write” (by AI, of course). It was called out by the original author. Changing the license is something the current maintainer wanted to do for long time, getting nos, and nos then. That didn’t stop him 12 years later.

In-reply-to » So, this happened this morning:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh yeah, we have heard plenty. The re-entry boom of the shuttles (when they were in service) and, more recently, of the SpaceX rockets boosters. Depending on weather conditions we might hear a lot, or nothing at all.

I will try capturing a “regular” launch as I see it from home one of these days. It is a curved white, blueish line in the sky, with a big, incandescent tip (the actual rocket burners, and boosters). Pretty cool sight.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear god have we lost our way 🤣 I mean seriously?! Can we no longer think for ourselves? This isn’t even “AI Slop” this is just poor pathetic lack of discipline 🤦‍♂️ – And, frankly, no leadership.

I’ve exhausted my stock of 5x30mm wooden dowels. Looking online for supplies yielded tons of merchants who are out of stock, ship only to businesses, offer only insane quantities (minimum of 10kg) or charge overprice for absolute joke amounts.

None of my local hardware stores has them, they’re either also out of stock or generally don’t carry them at all. Same with long 5mm diameter round sticks in general. What the heck?!

I just make a “dowel iron” tomorrow, a steel plate with a sharp edged 5mm hole. Since I’ve got heaps of 6x30mm dowels, I just hammer them through. They will be smooth and not corrugated, but that’s totally fine with me.
