Documentary film crew in a computer room in the 1970s caused system crashed because their camera flashes were setting off the reflective End Of Tape sensors on all of the reel-to-reel drives

The world is melting, infrastructure is crumbling, facist regimes are on the rise, continuing education is more expensive than ever, there’s very few jobs that pay enough to even rent an apartment after college, let alone buy a home, and the queerest generation ever is seeing their identities legislated away by an increasingly out of touch oligarchy.

But sure… phones are why teenagers are depressed.

Is it me or does Mastodon seem to skew older? How old are you?

I am really loving that we are having a decent debate on #coding on here (#fediverse).

I know on twitter this would have gone mental with people saying I am using the wrong language (especially as it is C), or doing something stupid.

So much so, I nearly did not post my comment here.

Here, even though we are not all agreeing, we are being civilised in discussion of why we don't agree in all cases, and understanding points of view, and debating, and learning new things.

It is just so nice.

I can't stop giggling about Jordan Peterson trying to mansplain Christianity to the actual, literal Pope.

Normally I don't have much time for Peterson, but between that and the tyranny of being asked not to use too many paper towels, he is truly on a roll lately.

I checked, and I swear these are real tweets from his official, verified account.

On a client request, I'm digging through the various "state of security in $industry" reports, and came across this gem:

'The largest reduction in the cost of a breach came from having an incident response team'

This industry is cursed.

A day off, on a gorgeous last day of February 2023. Drake and I went to a different park today. He wasn't keen on walking but sniffed around a lot, making the walk a lot longer than expected.

One of the neatest recent developments in myrmecology is the increasing understanding that trophallaxis (the way ants feed each other mouth to mouth) isn’t just about sharing food. Watch ants at all and you’ll see that food sharing goes on far more often than hunger alone would require. Moreover when the colony is excited or alarmed both trophallaxis and grooming happen more often. It’s about information. 🧵 (video: a queen ant receives her daily intelligence briefing)

Until today I've been snowed in. Now I'm treed in, at least until Monday, when a friend with a bigger saw than mine can help me. I have supplies, but cat food was running low. My neighbors managed to make it to town and brought me some.
