Israel's conditions for a ceasefire with Lebanon include allowing the Israeli army to continue operating in Lebanese territory. Meanwhile, Israel steps up its extermination campaign in northern Gaza, targeting its last remaining hospitals.

“Why don't you like BlueSky?"

Twitter taught me something. Any "For Profit" company is going to be a slave to its need for growth, its investors, and corporate greed.

BlueSky says “We don't want to be like that”. but they're also a for profit company that is going to end up a slave to their investors and their greed just like any other for profit company.

I don't feel like establishing myself there, just to have it all come apart in a few years like Twitter did. Because that's inevitable.

Weeeell, I went on Christmas day and got there as soon as it opened. I then doubled back when the light was failing to get some more shots. I managed to get photos with only one or two people in (which I removed in Photoshop). Still took a LOT of waiting in place for breaks, as there were still some other people milling about 😀

Would love to know what that factory was. Looks like something (guessing textiles) being fed into some sort of tanks. Do you have any photos from further back? I love trying to work out what these places where.

@TMangnall
It's an old paper mill, these are the beater machines that break up fibers between the pulping and rolling stages of the process. Some more photos attached. I had to be careful as security had drilled holes in so they could see inside, so I didn't stand out in the open in this area for long!

I have a whole album and long article, which goes into both the history and the paper making process in general - obsidianurbexphotography.com/i…

Spider in the Telescope: The Mechanization of Astronomy

John Flamsteed’s vision of an astronomer’s skill set clashed with existing ideas about observing, paving the way for a new mindset based on mechanical objectivity.

In 1639, a spider wove a web in William Gascoigne’s telescope and changed astronomy. The invention became so crucial to astronomy that disputes broke out over who invented the device.

Um texto lindo sobre como o nosso cérebro processa a ideia de zero (e, de bônus, como essa representação evoluiu ao longo do tempo).

Thank you, @Project Gutenberg , for this!


How the Human Brain Contends With the Strangeness of Zero

Zero, which was invented late in history, is special among numbers. New studies are uncovering how the brain creates something out of nothing.

In some ways, zero is just like any other number on a number line. But a new study suggests that the mind may treat the symbol for absence differently.

Corporations are not sentient entities. They are contracts. They do not "do" things. They do not make decisions. Executives do.

When corporate activity breaks a law or harms people, it means the executives decided to do that.

When a corporation has been fined for something, what you are witnessing is the executives being let off the hook for what they did. Perhaps the prosecutor/regulator wants to keep get big money from corporations after leaving government.

Using static websites for tiny archives: alexwlchan.net/2024/static-web…

I wrote about how making small, hand-written HTML pages has taken over as the way I organise my local files. I get more metadata and filtering options than I do with the Finder, and the ongoing maintenance cost is essentially zero.

I’m using it for personal stuff, but this feels like a powerful tool for digital preservation more broadly.

HTML FTW 💪

Pessoal da bicicleta, *

Uma vez tirei a roda dianteira, coloquei de volta, e um lado do v-brake ficou encostado e o outro não. Hoje tirei a roda traseira e coloquei se volta, e aconteceu a mesma coisa. Pelo menos no olhômetro a roda parece alinhada (olhando de ponta-cabeça).

Alguma ideia de o que estou fazendo de errado e como posso evitar e/ou remediar?

Editado: o problema era a mola do frejo

* sejamos honestos, essa expressão está começando a parecer um eufemismo para @keylimepie

@maisotro valeu, pessoal! Só reforçando, logo antes de tirar a roda eu não percebia (mas não conferi), depois de colocar eu percebia, mas o v-brake já estava fazendo isso?

Unsolicited opinion: If #Mastodon wants to be a part of the #Fediverse that encourages small #selfhosted instances to be part of the whole, then it has to be a lean system able to be installed on second-hand/hand-me-down hardware and it should run reasonably well.

ElasticSearch/Java is a barrier to that. It is a huge memory hog compared to the rest of the system.
