@mngrif I haven't unlocked that achievement yet. I have no idea. :1up:

@Sphinx you might find this link useful since you are keen on getting better with colors, worqx.com/color/itten.htm wordx might have DNS issues as you do have to refresh the pages a couple of times to load them.

Visual color literally does not exist outside individual consciousness. It varies significantly across individuals, due to genetics, age, and personal experience. The same radiant color can appear as very different visual colors, depending on the intensity of the light and the context in which it is viewed.

@design_RG @chikara @khird isn't that "copy link to status" from the "..." menu?

I'm starting to think that the appeal of sandbox games such as Minecraft under late capitalism lies in the players' encounter with a world where not everything is owned and defined already.
Especially for the majority of people that lives in urban surroundings these days, it may well be the first time they find themselves able to interact with their environment and shape something new.
It's closely related to the art of graffiti, redefining and in doing so appropriating the liminal and / or inaccessible spaces that abound in the urban landscape, such as bridges, tunnels, railroads and streets.

@sda do you have the full-text stored somewhere?

If you think a single person is just too small to make a difference, you should read up on Jadav Payeng, the "Forest Man of India".

When he was 16 he started planting trees on a deforested sandbar. He made it a habit of planting at least one tree every single day - over the course of the last four decades.

His forest now encompasses an area of about 1,360 acres / 550 hectares and is home to not only over one hundred elephants, but also monkeys, tigers and deer.

Be the change you desire!

@schlink@octodon.social how secret? you probably have a sandbox api and production api so multiple secrets. I frequently use an envvar to select just the name of an environment, and load a plain-text config file base on the name. I guess your config file could be secured with pgp.

@scap that's quite eye opening, I assumed it was gimp'd for dramatic effect until I read the caption on the forbes article: "On May 25, 2019, Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, took this image of galaxy group NGC 5353 and NGC 5354. **The trails shown here originate from 25 Starlink satellites**; images like this could be avoided entirely if the trajectories and paths were published and made available, with real-time adjustments, to astronomers"

ahh...., guys you are meant to tell your lab partner so they can lead you to the eyewash.

As a kid I broke off the tip of a compass into my thumb and I just hid it, and held it tight till the bleeding stopped. The teacher asked if there was anything wrong and never mentioned it. Don't expect me to lead you to the eyewash is all I'm saying.

Wonderful Sci-Fi story, read on web 

"Solar Sailing

Light is made of packets of energy called photons. While photons have no mass, they have momentum. Solar sails capture this momentum with sheets of large, reflective material such as Mylar. As photons bounce off the sail, most of their momentum is transferred, speeding up the sail in the direction opposite the bouncing light.

Unlike chemical rockets that provide short, powerful bursts of thrust, solar sails provide continuous, slight thrust and can reach higher speeds over time. Sunlight is free and unlimited, whereas rocket propellant must be carried into orbit and be stored onboard a spacecraft."

@Absinthe I’d have to give that a hard maybe, or almost probably.
