The exposure time was 1/3s. They’ve been doing this every evening lately so I may go out again and experiment with different exposure lengths. If I do I’ll be sure to share the result.

I’m honoured, thank you.

Me too, but I also believe that collapse is a fundamental part of the natural cycles that govern everything in the universe. It’s hubris to think humans can exempt themselves from this natural system, and the belief that we can is a large driver of why we find ourselves here.

We can’t just skip collapse, nor can avoid it. Embrace its coming and celebrate what will grow from it.

I flip-flop

Respectfully, yes.

If it’s that local of an issue, why not just go around with a clipboard and piece of paper and talk to your neighbours about it? Modern technology isn’t always the solution, sometimes the tried and true methods are still valid for a reason.

My understanding is that Alex Pretti was murdered by CBP. Not to let ICE off the hook here, just to say let’s not let other Gestapo agencies get away with murder either.

I was about to say this was the first thing they’ve said I agree with but then I kept reading.

Replying to Liberal Democrat MP Martin Wrigley, who asked about the possible involvement of technology companies such as Palantir, the minister replied: “We expect the new digital ID to be designed, built and run by in-house government teams, not outsourced to external suppliers.” However, he did not rule out the use of “specialist external services or expertise.”

Still fucked.

Your friend has fallen down a far-right conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Sorry for your loss.

I’ve been testing Forwardemail.net as my use case also involves being able to run mailing lists as well as personal and transactional email. I plan to switch over completely once they have set up servers in the EU, something they announced late last year and are actively working toward.

I concur. Currently using 11ty for my sites with Directus on top for managing content with a gui.

So I guess they are way past that point?

Yeah, probably. They’re making basically the same argument as the debate around adding DRM to Firefox. Back then the winning argument was, “If people can’t watch Netflix they’ll just uninstall Firefox and we can’t afford to lose any more users.” Just replace “watch Netflix” with “use AI”.

I understand the political calculation of Starmer’s Brexit position as a means to get power, but the global situation with the US gives Starmer the political cover he needs to just full on reverse brexit and have the UK rejoin the EU as a full member. Trump has given him a narrow window of opportunity to correct an obvious wrong. Starmer needs to seize that opportunity, NOW!

Sure the UK won’t get the same cushy deal they had as an EU member before, but it’ll still be better than anything he’s currently proposing publicly.

Politically it might cost him any Leavers who voted Labour (if any are left who haven’t defected to Reform by now), but he’ll earn some favour with Remainers who left Labour for the LibDem, SNP and Greens which might be enough to secure a minority Labour government. And, a Labour government moving to rejoin the EU could be enough to shoot the SNPs hopes of a majority in Scotland this spring and their promised independence referendum if they get one. Not that I support any of that, (I’ve never voted Labour and disagree with most of what comes out of Starmer’s mouth). This is just the political benefits I see for Labour if they choose a different path.

Anyway, TL;DR: DO IT! Rejoin the EU today!

I think it’s inspired by Lady Justice, not the Statue of Liberty.

I would also think defending Greenland would be good training/rehearsal for Canadian troops and equipment.

Everything Epic Games makes is derivative slop anyway. Good to see Tim is what he makes.

I should upvote this because it’s both interesting and important, but I also want to downvote you for editorialising the actual headline. So I’ll do neither. Good day!

FWIW, I am back on my FP4 after returning a FP6. The hardware on the 6 is definitely an upgrade but there were some quality control and design issues that were frustrating. Chief among them is the decision to go from a toolless access to the internals to one requiring a screwdriver.

I liked the idea initially as I understand it allowed them to improve the IP rating, but it introduces multiple points of failure, ie. the screws. I’m sure there’s going to be people frustrated when they inevitably strip one of these screws and can’t get the back cover reinstalled, but mine came from the factory with two of them stripped.

That is to say nothing about the fact that not everyone has a screwdriver or will carry one with them in case they need to open the phone while away from home.

For my purposes that’s a fatal flaw I hope they address with a FP7 someday. Until then I’ll stick with my FP4.

Quiet time at home with my pupper and partner.
