This little guy got himself stuck down a shallow mineshaft. All people could see of him were his spines, but that was enough to rescue him! We have a little echidna like this who lives near our property and visits once in awhile. If he sees us, he runs behind the garbage bin and hides his face. His spiky behind is still often quite visible! He makes the cutest grumpy sounds.


We've got some very soggy #corvids over here!

Amazon River Dolphin Inia geoffrensis — Palm Oil Detectives | Barbara Crane Navarro

The Amazon River dolphins, also known as the Boto Dolphins or Amazon Pink River Dolphins are playful, curious and intelligent mammals, the largest river dolphin species in the world. Known for their stunning pink coloured skin they are endangered due to human-related threats like #palmoil, #meat and #soy #deforestation, #gold #mining and #pollution. Help them survive each time you shop…

Recall is Microsoft’s key to unlocking the future of PCs


Remember folks, if the computer remembers all they need to do is steal your computer. Or get access to it and just ask the stupid AI the right questions to retrieve your passwords with this new bad idea from Microsoft!

And Now They Want To Sell You Another Way To Have Your Personal Info Spied on and Stolen!

I didn't think of this earlier but a comment mentioned you could also move the .cache or at least the .cache/kwin/qmlcache into a tmpfs, I have not extensively tested this so I can't say if there are any unintended side effects

Brodie, I keep forgetting that your actual profile pic is an anime cat girl and I instinctively think that the girliest girl that has ever girled posted

in reply to Brodie Robertson

no such issue here… probably because I disabled all effects 😄
Also I have an SSD.

Backblaze just became a storage option for Mastodon admins. I heard it’s quite cheap

in reply to Eugen Rochko

I know this is an old post, but instances are coming across many issues using Backblaze with Sidekiq failures, regardless of setting up timeouts, retry attempts, etc

Mainly 503, No tomes, execution expired, & 443 errors during times of congestion

Any chance of getting a look at the root cause or some hints on best way to handle this so small instances can continue to afford cdn?

After weeks of working with Backblaze, after many 1000 errors, here is the final result

My wife and I had a cat we often referred to as The First Good, a response to the Buffy TVS character known as The First Evil. Pets have a special ability to put us back in touch with what it means to be there for someone.

Reading this🧵? Your blood probably contains some amount of toxic #foreverchemicals made by #3m

Enough to spike your risk of cancers & illnesses?

Without a blood test, you have no idea.

Why is their toxin running in your veins?

Well, 3M & #dupont kept the harms secret even as their toxins were incorporated into...everything.

From french fry bags to chairs.

They gaslit their own scientists.

& regularly dumped, creating toxic zones. 1/

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

in reply to Kevin Beaumont

I should be transparent btw that I took Satya and Charlie’s commitment to security at face value too - I even published a blog on it backing that up - and I have concerns (it isn’t just me).

They’re now going to have to win trust back about winning trust back.

in reply to Kevin Beaumont

I know somebody at a retailer in Europe that is selling Copilot+ PCs. They’ve had fewer than a thousand preorders through to customers.

In relative terms, for them it’s about as successful as Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League.

Maybe the question of whether a system is governable matters more than whether it is open.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

maybe, but I'm a fan of the consent of the governed, which seems to imply openness.
