Can anyone recommend a #peertube instance where I can upload occasional videos from my #data analysis work, my #cohousing project, or both at the same time? I do about one a year. Thanks!
Having a great time with the dynamic lighting in #Roll20, which we've never used before. The heroes fighting at night, in a swamp, with the threat of a black, shadowy dragon nearby. Worse, wraith-like humanoid forms are approaching them. #dnd#dnd5e#nightcombat
Want to have everyone who knows what they’re doing flip the bozo bit on you? Refer to reasonable preventative maintenance as “shotgun recapping” and go on about how you “diagnose failures” and try to keep everything possible “original.”
Those original caps will eat traces before there’s a failure to diagnose, dumbass.
@pixel And yet, some YouTube bozos actively promote not replacing ancient electrolytic capacitors “unless they’re damaged or test bad” in order to “keep a system original.” #retrocomputing
Okay, maybe this is my middle aged person rant, but it seems like films used to be lit better. It's like they got better cameras and better editing tools, and thought we'll just fix everything in post, but something got lost. When you see great lighting, you really appreciate the art form it is.
@RickiTarr Day-for-night filming seems to be making a big comeback as well. (Shooting a scene during the day and then slapping on a dark blue filter so that it looks like night.) Maybe it never really went away, but I only used to notice it in old movies, and now I see it all the time.
Story Concept: A secret society of paleontologists and archeologists who make a pact that when each of them dies the others will go to wild lengths to stage burial circumstances most likely to be preserved, even fossilized to confound the intelligent life of the far future. This includes weird burial objects, suggestive poses, etc.
They make the pact when young & silly, but as they grow old and carry it out it becomes a much more serious & momentous thing. About keeping promises & friendship.
The great federal judge David Tatel “writes that he stepped down from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in January in part because he was tired of having his work reviewed ‘by a Supreme Court that seemed to hold in such low regard the principles to which I’ve dedicated my life.’”

Unfortunately, it would be better if judges who aren't corrupt would stay in their positions to fight the Christofascist takeover of the legal system. Isn't this a surrender of sorts?
Very amused by the social class implications of food as interpreted by soulless marketing departments that I see every time I shop at a Whole Foods. There are 24 kinds of salami and 0 bologna.
Anyway, I was there to get ingredients for Olivier Salad which I have been missing for approximately 40 years, and which I think is wonderful because it is the opposite of American yuppie food values. (I am making this one with summer sausage)
WWDC Prediction: If third party app AI integrations are supported, they will result in even more support tickets that are resolved by asking the user to reboot their device.
