New bio just dropped
A photo of a zoo exhibit. It lists that the animal’s prey is “mainly flying insects” but below that is the focal point of the photo. The sign risks this animal’s risk to humans as “Rarely bite and quite useless off the web”. The animal described is not listed in the photo, but it’s a large spider in the London Zoo’s walkthrough spider enclosure.

first the entire contents of the lost library of Alexandria and now this? 😅

Next the Epstein files will contain a fully translated copy of the Voynich manuscript.

In all seriousness its pretty obvious this is all one big red herring.

#linux #git

DID YOU KNOW? Without Linux, we wouldn’t have Git. When the Linux team lost free access to their management tool, BitKeeper, in 2005, Linus Torvalds built his own replacement in just weeks. That tool now powers almost every major coding platform. Linux didn’t just give us an operating system; it built the foundation for how the world collaborates on code. git logo Follow us IT’S FOSS

I was introduced to SVN and used it for over five years before I ever encountered GIT. That gave me an advantage in that I understood most of what GIT was doing (except rebase) even though the flow was a little different. I also prefer to use a UI for interacting with GIT over doing it from the command line.

Snowed In #oldknees
Two crows are flying through a snowstorm. "I can hardly see a thing!" yells one, "We can't keep going like this!" The other one replies "Let's take a break!" They land in a snow-covered field, the snow is falling gently. "Oh!" exclaims one while looking around at the peaceful scene, "It's so beautiful when you aren't fighting against it."

Adobe Is Ruthlessly Killing Off Software That Animators Around The World Are Using Every Day


On a page morbidly-titled "End of Life FAQ", the company writes:

Adobe Animate will no longer be available to download for new customers, beginning March 1, 2026. Enterprise customers can access the application, download their content, and receive technical support until March 1, 2029. For all other customers, technical support, application access, and the ability to download content will be available until March 1, 2027.

Hello brains trust!

My fairy wand as the Wattle Fairy Godmother is more of a walking stick. It is both cute and badass! Don't mess with fairies with big wands! hehehe!

For seven years the ceramic bird glued to the top has held steady. Last year it came off. I asked people what to use in order to re-attach it. A particular glue was suggested as being extra tough. It was a two-step thingo. It lasted one day at the festival for which I needed it, but by late afternoon, someone pointed out that my bird was hanging by a gooey thread. So, I removed her before she could fall off and possibly break.

Does anyone here have any ideas how I can attach a ceramic bird to a rubber cap on a wooden staff?
