I've been playing the top down shooter #TheAscent lately. Being a sucker for SF worlds that feel lived in this is a feast. The amount of detail is almost overwhelming. So much neon. The twin stick shooty part is also fun although the duck & cover system is mostly useless with quickly swarming enemies. Can't shake the feeling that this amazing world would have deserved a better story though.

kinda like the Pentecost gimmick where each listener heard the apostles speak in their own language. but with hot girls.

@openculture Hallelujah is Leonard Cohen's 7 Nation Army.

I was at the botanical garden and all the flowers were dead. They put up some large signs with poems instead, all about winter and death. It was depressing. I said, that's no way to do this! In the summer you can have all the memento mori you want. But in the winter we need melancholy wistful poems of summer!

I went to a former land fill just off the coast of #SantaCruz de #Tenerife. Someone topped it with fertile soil and turned this old dump into a beautiful garden hill called #Palmetum.
It now gives home to hundreds of #palms from all over the world. Since I'm quite passionate about these plants I made many photos. Here are some of their alien fruits. #kphoto #palms

a date tree and a pond with bananas growing in the water. I never knew that dates grow directly on the tree trunk! blew my mind

the gigantic palm #TahinaSpectabilis was only discovered in 2007. it grows exclusively in a small area on Madagascar. only about 90 specimens exist. plus 3 in the #Palmetum park on #Tenerife. its leaves are very rigid, like thin wood.

there's just a handful of barrel shaped palm tree species around the world and they all grow on islands. they store starch in their trunks to get an early start when the rain season comes around.

@iraantlers does he call you that often? anyway, just change it to Weird AL

@iraantlers I blocked phone numbers of most national celebrities*, because I want to be a person for the people. 🤔

That is a web standard, the browser compatibility chart showing it does work on all modern browsers is right there. It doesn't require JS or anything.

@dr2chase @dalias @spzb @robpike
you can set that prefence in your browser or OS if you like and this date picker will use it. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date#:~:text=The%20appearance%20of%20the%20date%20picker%20input%20UI%20varies%20based%20on%20the%20browser%20and%20operating%20system.%20The%20value%20is%20normalized%20to%20the%20format%20yyyy%2Dmm%2Ddd.

@dalias @spzb @robpike
You do realise that you can type into the date picker I just linked on MDN, right?

@dalias @robpike
all modern browsers support a standard date picker with fine UX: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date
the problem are webdevs who only know their Javascript framework and have little idea about HTML/CSS and therefore needlessly build their own pretty but shitty datepickers

@Ttubretep Is this about all the gloating posts regarding that shot healthcare CEO? Quite scary TBH. All that talk on Fedi about not acting "toxic" does apparently not translate to having a shred of humanity.
