A trio of shadowed men drive the first into a dark corner.

Oh I they cornered the person lol

I thought the blood type immediately changed, turning them grey, and then they… exploded…

Stickers are important to the people I use signal with, and being able to set favourites is something they’ve asked me about in the past. Glad to see it

Also, we had some unexpected extra costs (over 1000,–) when we had to pay taxes for the foundation (strange, for a non-profit…). I’ll see if we can get an accountant to check this, but also accountants are costly…

Ouch

Do you have any non-profit support organizations, local to where you have your accounts, that might be able to help for cheap or pro-bono?

Thank you for all the work you do!

That’s more the fault of the payment processor than the LW team. Often you can’t change stuff like that

I’m curious where they ended up dropping the little dude off. How far does a boat like that go in “a few hours”?

He did all that work swimming over, but also they’re “highly social” and the article makes it sound like he ended up there by accident. I trust the wildlife experts to have done everything correctly, but it just reads like they took him to the middle of the ocean and made him walk the plank 😄

Gus was an emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) who made international headlines in 2024 as the first of his species recorded in Australia. Gus’s journey of over 3,500 kilometers (2,200 miles) from Antarctica to Ocean Beach, Western Australia, captured the attention of scientists, wildlife enthusiasts, and the general public. Despite extensive speculation, the actual reasons behind Gus’s exceptionally long swim remain unknown.

The boat traveled for several hours from the state’s most southerly city of Albany before the penguin was released into the Southern Ocean, but the government didn’t give the distance in its statement.

Some more images from that second article:

Earlier at the beach:

but calling it two pieces connected by a handle is the only way I could think of to describe it and actually be understood

Yes completely fair! I’m actually not sure about what would count as a separate “piece” with glassware and ceramics. There’s probably a mereological argument for why its one or the other

I think it’s an art piece now

On that note

these two pieces together

Is it all one big piece, or is it three pieces working together 😄

I wasn’t on this side of the internet back then, so maybe this isn’t that interesting, but apparently there are multiple variants

Oh wow that’s neat

Does the ecosystem have something like Mealie and Tandoor, where a nontechnical user can drop in a link to add a recipe?

Which might also make sense, if drivers are aware that a lot of kids will be walking around, they might be more careful.

I wonder how the number of deaths has changed over time. Road and vehicle safety have improved, lighting improved, it’s more common for kids to have reflective objects on them, and fewer kids are going out. Maybe it was a lot worse in the past?

So discussions like the ones in this thread have helped save lives, but I’d much rather the post itself wasn’t misleading

Oh I was meaning to check when I scheduled this for 😄

Nice timing since North of North just ended the season

There’s a chance that you’ll get a visit from the local goose council, and they’ll force you to sign a goose ministry pact.

No problem!

I looked around a bit, and I think the relevant code for it will be here: https://gitlab.com/diasporg/poduptime

They have a guide page here where server owners can request manual fixes: https://gitlab.com/diasporg/poduptime/-/wikis/Podmin/Server-Owner-Help

The link for location changes is dead, but I think they were trying to link to this page: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-data-correction-request . For those behind cloudflare, they ask for manual PRs, and I found this issue where a Mastodon instance requested manual changes: https://gitlab.com/diasporg/poduptime/-/work_items/42

This will likely be a more involved fix on our end, since a number of the data points need us to contact third party organizations (the coordinates, the greenhosting, etc). I’ll add it to our todo list for later :)

Oh wow that’s embarrassing, I must have been saying it wrong this whole time.

I’m sorry about the other errors as well, I blame being tired while trying to get the shields.io icons working through trial and error. They don’t have the best support for alternative git platforms: https://shields.io/badges/gitea-forks

I think it should all be fixed now: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/alternative-uis#mlmym

Fair enough, they’re pretty different in format from traditional sitcoms. I had to look them up to confirm if they were even considered sitcoms.

I did also come across this list, although I haven’t tried the vast majority of these: https://friends.ca/takeaction/how-to-stream-canada/

I find that the CBC gem newsletter helps. CBC Gem isn’t a full replacement to all other streaming platforms but it does help reduce usage of the other ones. It’s hard to switch over to Canadian options all at once. Another factor is how difficult it is to hear about content that isn’t popular on social media. Even with content that is on a large streaming platform, people will come across it months of years later wondering why people didn’t mention it before

CBC gem has a lot of pretty good procedural type shows (ex. police dramas), especially when you mix in the content from the UK, Europe, Australia/New Zealand. There are some good sitcoms too. Schitts Creek and Kim’s Convenience are popular, but there’s also content from american networks like Animal Control.

It could be some AB testing or regional differences

I recently saw a video encouraging people to adopt former lab mice. That made me think that the mice that are not adopted out might also be killed even if that is not needed for the study.

Ah, ok that makes sense. That would be wasteful for something that is only useful on the rare occasion.

In that case, a troubleshooting mode might work better, where the user can run tests somewhere in the user settings. Or a button somewhere on the feed that the user can click on to run the analysis on demand.

There are likely programs that organize images by the most common colors, similar to the ones that let you create a collage image with a whole bunch of tiny images

Off the top of my head, such a program could probably achieve this by

1. For each saved RFK image, calculate the average red green and blue values
2. Calculate the average red green and blue values for the food image
3. Look for the closest RFK image

Those images don’t look like AI to me, but rather photos taken under different lighting.
