I’m eternally fascinated by this public safety poster that shows up around the British rail network, which suggests you might wonder of a stranger “Why have they been hanging around for so long?”

Surely to wonder that, you must’ve been hanging around for at least as long, and are therefore just as suspicious if not more so?

inside of me are two wolves

one is curious about the world and will gladly spend hours, days, weeks, months down a rabbithole learning about a thing

the other just wants the computer to fucking work

supermarkets should play faster music the closer it gets to closing time like it’s the last lap on mario kart

what are we doing here man

[rhetorical] is there anything more wonderful than taking a nap with a loved one?

logical evolution of the long-exposure video-to-image processing i was doing a while back, now doing video-to-video processing with a decay factor

here's about 10 minutes of haneda airport (tokyo) sped up and processed to produce these delightful light trails

math(s) folks, is there a multiply/divide equivalent of the ± symbol?

hey remember when i used to do demoscene stuff? did you know you can buy prints of some of my works? it's true!

i'm incidentally reminded of a lovely bit of upsetting C code I came up with years ago; can you guess what the output is?

so apparently glitchsoc has a feature that lets you share a post only to your local instance, and prevent it from federating to the wider fediverse

whether a post is local-only or not is made available to clients via the not-in-vanilla-mastodon local_only: bool field in the Status struct returned by the api

on the surface, this is a neat idea, however the execution is... something.

as far as I can tell, if a post is to be local-only, the glitchsoc frontend silently appends the eye emoji (👁️) to the end of the post body, and the glitchsoc server interprets this as the signal that the post shouldn't federate

what this means in practice is that if you're on a glitchsoc instance and you explicitly make a post that ends with that emoji, the post won't federate, regardless of whether you toggled the local-only setting or not

anyway apparently this is Nix, and, yeah, okay, I see the appeal

me reading some of y'all's posts

you can’t make this stuff up

internet’s been super slow so I decided to try fibre

"oh hey you can hide the toolbar, neat!"

[the toolbar vanishes, taking with it the hamburger menu containing the option to toggle the toolbar back on again]

"oh."
