@aral „the Israeli military has acknowledged firing warning shots at people“

how do they fire a „warning shot“ AT PEOPLE??

Is anyone open for commissions doing a simple humanoid character design & rigging in Blender? I’d need a mannequin-like detail, but cm-level accuracy from real-world measurements. Probably a small job (2-4 hours) for someone who knows how to do it. boosts ok! 🔁 #blender #b3d

@cavyherd @slyka @miunau there are of course laser readers for vinyl discs. the issue with it is dust; the needle can remove some dust from the groove, laser can only do it at significantly higher power levels 😉

@Infoseepage @ryanc see also: ping 192.1

Network File System over Wifi

@alexlomas @ryanc I think it only works when used occasionally, you build tolerance to it quickly

@aral he didn’t elaborate when he was asked about what part we need :(

I wonder which European politician will have the courage to propose closing of all US military bases in Europe

@FlashMobOfOne @timberwraith except in this case the passengers see the iceberg and vote to steer right toward it

@katiefenn @goatsarah @christineburns everything else being equal if the email from Ethiopian Airlines‘ chief pilot were answered throughly, containing some actual information besides peak corporate asscovering, the second crash probably wouldn’t have happened

@LaF0rge I wonder what the meandering square trace is for (silkscreened FG-) at the perimeter of the motor‘s stator

@aral in my experience covid tests turn positive first only on day 3-4 of being Obviously Sick

@f4grx @Infoseepage @peter @GossiTheDog my question is why didn’t they redirect to a different airport with longer runway and burn off fuel while doing so? maybe both engines were damaged or had more hydraulic issues requiring immediate landing? We’ll see when the FDR is analyzed.

ALL standards should be available online free of charge.

@annika MSA Advantage 900
but it’s hard to get in Europe. If source control isn’t needed, I’d go for the 3M HF-800SD (or just tape a surgical mask on its exhaust valve)

@dvk inb4 openAI just proxies data through the user’s browser instead 🙃

Has someone written a fedi timeline statistics tool? I want to see distribution of accounts on my timeline, maybe some semantic analysis, percentage of media, etc. Or do I need to write my own? #askfedi #chatActivityPub

On a related note, I’m not convinced a purely chronological 1:1 timeline is the best experience possible. I would prefer to see more of the accounts who post less, and get buried under mountains of shitposts unless I’m unsustainably online. There’s an option to get notified on every post of select accounts, but I would prefer something that works on probabilities and equalizes (normalizes?) my feed.

As of now, if someone posts once per week, and I’m looking at my timeline once per week, there’s almost no chance I’ll see that post.

I don’t think the algorithmic selection optimizing for screen time (à la twitter) is healthy either, but there should be a way to make this work. What if you could cook your own weighting algo and adjust to your liking?
Statistics are friend shaped!
