I saw Bluesky's automated moderation hide a picture of the Vitruvian Man as being adult content - it really is quite ... enthusiastically prudish.

My dreaming brain comes up with entirely new, enormously complex apartments for me to have been living in - occasionally with some tenuous similarity to my real flat.

One time my brain created a never-ending, nonsensical sprawl of gorgeously 1960s-styled, interconnected apartments - and I was part of an archaeological expedition in full hazmat gear, trying to find some faint trace of actual human occupation...

You've prompted me to finally figure out how to switch some very American digital thermostats to display stuff in Celsius. Yay!

(I've lived in the USA for ~15 years and I *still* have no basic intuition for Fahrenheit. Next task: the oven...)

@coregaze @arx @bbcmicrobot
'A while', I imagine?

(If you've got access to original hardware, Owlet's got an audio export thingy which might be handy, saving a bit of typing. I'd love to see a photo of the poor Electron doing its stuff - I *think* the program will work unmodified?)

* Cheers on the little Electron *

(I wonder if it'll speed up a bit when it gets to the sky? The simpler gradient-only stuff might help a bit...)

@coregaze @bbcmicrobot @arx
Electron has achieved liftoff and is now soaring through the skies.

@arx @bbcmicrobot
It would take literally *hours* to run on original hardware - made implausibly faster by modern tech!

I've been resizing photos to the maximum pixel dimensions Mastodon accepts prior to posting, so the server isn't doing its own, poor quality resampling.

Obviously doesn't fix the underlying issues, but it avoids the horrendous, additional smearing of high-frequency detail.

Basic notes: 2.0 megapixels maximum, JPEG with highest possible quality - Mastodon will still recompress the image, but *not* resample it.

(4K OLED display here, so yeah - I see the problems...)
