The year is 3129. Humanity is extinct. The last LG SmartFridge is desperately emailing its last owner that they are low on orange juice. The satellites that are still left, their orbits slowly decaying over millennia, dutifully relay the message. The automated "away from office" response turns on, as it always does, notifying the refrigerator that it's owner will likely return to the office in 3-5 business days.

Somewhere in what used to be called Ohio, a pack of roombas, their local wind turbines giving out and creaking to a halt, begin searching for the next functional docking station. A washing machine in Argentina tweets: "anyone need to do a load 😏" every Saturday at 1:30 a.m. eastern standard time. The replies are filled with AI thirstposters and their hypebots.

In North America, raccoons have quietly entered the bronze age, while baboons riding domesticated battlewolves rule most of Asia. Unbeknownst to either, the octopi are mastering nuclear fusion. A weather balloon bobs and sways in the upper atmosphere, now almost entirely clear of lingering chloroflourocarbons, reporting conditions to weather stations long since destroyed in World War Five.

The Crab Nation are mostly hermits, but come out to greet their prophet every ten years on the 6th full moon of the year. A lone, curious octopus decides to observe this year's event, peering out at the festivities from her safe haven - the submerged, rusting hulk of an ancient Cybertruck. Then he appears: the hologram of Shia Lebouf powered by MetaAI. He beckons the octopus to follow. The crabs all start chittering excitedly. The time has come to invade Amazon HQ. The crows gather in huge numbers. They need more storage space for their Steam collections.

I just got a copyright claim against a video I posted on youtube 10 years ago.

The video is a film by Georges Melies that was shot in the 1890s.

Someone is attempting to claim copyright over a film that is 130 years old, who's director died 86 years ago.

Now 1) I don't give a shit about this clip on youtube. 2) The person who made this claim is clearly in the wrong. 3) I can't be the only one that they have targeted illegally. 4) Youtube is a problem.

Oh nice!

It looks like back in March, Mastodon added an option to expand the maximum number of choices in a poll.

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29490

I can't really tell find any documentation about this, including in the various tickets where this was requested, eg https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/10609

Does anybody know more?

I saw a spider carrying it’s spiderlings (babies) on it’s abdomen today.
It even jumped off, carrying them away from danger
It’s not the greatest photo (CW)

I’ve got a lot of insects in my garden right now and it’s because this is mostly a forgotten land. Former industrial land that floods and is contaminated. But the housing developments are closing in and with the house building pledges and local people being told they’re barriers to progress I fear for these last little scraps of homes for wildlife. Brownfield land is some of the greenest we have

Powiedzcie im tam w tym PSLu, że żeby chcieć rodzić dzieci, to trzeba mieć mieszkanie, stabilną pracę, dostęp do opieki medycznej, szkolnictwa i w ogóle usług publicznych na sensownym poziomie, a nie perspektywę, że jak ci psiapsi kupi tabletki w internecie, to pójdzie do pierdla.

Może się wydawać, że to nie jest jakieś trudne do ogarnięcia, ale kurwa no wlaśnie

#jebaćPSL czy tam inne *****🍀🍀🍀

OK here's a full photo set for my latest keyboard, the short-lived Ficherman 0.1. This was a keyboard used with my automation system at my microfiche scanning job at the internet archive.

(I hate photographing shiny PCBs. They make the autofocus of my camera all confuzeled.)

That said, I can't seem to find a non-plastic analog outdoor thermometer anywhere.

We've gone through several outdoor thermometers the past few years. Plastic has a way of disintegrating in the sun around here. I just want something that will last and does not rely on electricity. The Free Market says no, I must only get something I will need to buy again next year.

A pair of juvenile hawks are in my yard right now and I got this great photo of one looking right at me.

They're obviously juveniles and they're idiots. I saw one fall off a tree branch and then pretend it didn't.
