YouTube TV just superimposed an ad for Heated Rivalry on Great American Family, which is basically Hallmark Channel but focused on religion and anti-woke
in reply to ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿฉท Iconoclast Beryl ๐Ÿฉท ๐Ÿ’œ

nah actually I'm talking about "YouTube TV" not the similarly named "YouTube for TV". It's an IPTV/cord-cutting service offered only in the United States
in reply to Princess Serena Star โœจ

ahhhh I see. I wouldn't have thought a service that costs that much would have it own ads on top of the commercial breaks.

Edit: the website says it only plays its own ads on youtube videos and premium members don't have to deal with them.

@floatybirb I hate to imagine being an escape room attendant and watching someone ask chatgpt for answers to all the puzzles.


Hardcore Henry is probably one of the best action movies Ive ever watched that I also don't have any interest in rewatching. A single experience is all you need. Its great though, 8.5/10 with a 10/10 final scene ending. This clip is all you should need to want to go watch it. Free on yt btw.


Heading to SCALE 23x? Well, you should be.

This is the largest community-run #opensource conference in North America and it's happening in Pasadena, CA. SCALE is packed with talks, workshops, and everything #Linux.

John Oliver's Show covered what's happening with X/Twitter. How it's algorithms are designed to push right-wing content, and how people don't just get away with, but get paid for inciting violence and hate speech. His advice? Leave X.

It's a weird feeling to interact with a terminal with a touchscreen, but I like it




I love the striations in these rocks, and the way they jut out. I'd always been told it was a combination of "marine snow" layers building up over millions of years, and chert/mudstone weathering at differing rates โ€“ then the tilt comes through California's characteristic tectonic folding. I remain "very much not a geologist", but it's still neat to see. #rocks #sigma

What all us casual users are thinking is: I hope this doesn't break my install!

NC did some minor update this past week, and as a consequence many of us lost the ability to use the photo app.

The fix was fairly simple, but it made me wonder if the NC developers performed bare-metal test installs, so they could the results the way non-developers would.




I'm nearing the end of a two-month residency at MakerLabs, a community fabrication space here in East Vancouver. I'll write and share more about it online soon, but if you're in the Lower Mainland, please come out this Wednesday, February 25th from 7-8:30pm to see what I've been up to, along with the rest of the cohort!

If you were previously on the electoral register for the old NUI and Trinity Seanad constituencies and want to retain your vote you have to re-register for the new Higher Education Constituency - this replaces the old constituencies and there is no automatic transfer of your vote to the new register. Deadline is this Thursday

If you are a graduate of a third level institution that wasn't previously eligible to vote, you may be now. Same deadline applies

One of the best shows on national Irish Radio is 'The Blue of the Night'. It's about as concrete a definition of 'eclectic music' that you can get. I've heard everything on there from jangly bluegrass to haunting electronic trance to Himalayan throat singing.

I just found out the host, Bernard, is on Mastodon: @BernardBlue

How do we ensure that the #opensource components we build upon are also sustainably maintained? ๐Ÿค”

@opensource organized a conference on Open Source Procurement today.

70% to 90% of all software contains open source components. 60% of those are run by 1 person. That's a fragile ecosystem.

With a purchasing volume of 116 billion euro, the Dutch gov can make an impact - if they reserve a portion of funding for open source projects in every procurement (MVOI).

shout-out to @kirschner , for his post about the 500 million euro that the German government spends each year (!) on Microsoft licensing, while asking how much #opensource we could have procured and developed with a fraction of that money. During @nlnet 's presentation.

I can't wait to see what results from this project, just up the road from me ๐Ÿ‘‡


Last November I was approached by Dublin City University (DCU) to be one of five artists in residence creating work for a project called SEED.

The brief is to create an artwork that presents complex environmental data without prioritising the sense of vision in the artwork. As a **visual** artist, this is obviously a challenge.

Even more challenging โ€“ it is at the artists' discretion what data to use. Sometimes having no limitation on a project can just make it more daunting.

thanks! I usually jot all this down in a notebook somewhere, hidden away from the world, but I've been enjoying sharing and getting responses here. It's also helping me think through the approach, so it's a double-win.

Sometimes I think my #solarpunk ideas are very original. Decentralized countries. 3D printers manufacturing anything. Biophotovaltic panels that grow in backyards to power homes. And then I read an article like this and I remember that a lot of other writers like me are reacting to our present dilemmas and troubles, and we probably grew up on the same kind of scifi stories so we most likely end up with the same solutions.

Does he seriously think, that many gamers want to buy Nvidia GPUs after the way Nvidia treated them lately?
Although the fact that they think about it, could be telling, especially after the news about OpenAI.
Is there a bubble about to pop?
