Roy on one of his many ledges. Looking out. And looking back at me. He's doing that cat thing where they pretend they aren't hurt but his front leg got tweaked. That's an occupational hazard for a cat this big. Something about physics and gravity and mass and decelerations sometimes just gangs up on him. But he's ok.

You get a hint of his size when he stands like that. Which he does a lot. Sometimes he tries to help me use the door knob if I'm being slow

The cat Roy looking out from window while sitting on window ledge. He's a tuxedo color scheme. Black and white.

About an hour ago, the sky turned blood red over Bavaria, Germany. It's the first time I've ever seen an #Aurora in my life. It was so bright to be easily visible with the naked eye. An absolutely jawdropping experience. 🖖😳✨

at 22:29 they got a lot brighter, covering half if the sky; even some green visible at the bottom; another 10s exposure
vertical 10s exposure at 22:37
before fading again, they moved westward in front of the moon, here an 10s exposure at 22:46 showing distinct lines shaped by the magnetic field

Do you have a Panasonic NeoFile business card reader & PDA??

Do you also have the optional serial cable and NeoLink software? 💾

I’d love to play around with mine but the software isn’t archived and the serial port seems unique. 😫

Please share to help me find it! 🤞

Debian Users - Be aware the maintainer of the KeePassXC package for Debian has unilaterally decided to remove ALL features from it. You will need to switch to keepassxc-full to maintain capabilities once this lands outside of testing/sid.

#OTD in 1926.

C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien first meet in Oxford.

Both men served on the English faculty at Oxford University and were active in the informal Oxford literary group known as the Inklings. The Inklings were literary enthusiasts who praised the value of narrative in fiction and encouraged the writing of fantasy.

How many of you write #Markdown stuff on your #android phone regardless of how often?

How important is it to visually see the styling of Markdown elements while writing?

Obligatory #aurora picture tonight from northern Belgium. This is what it actually looked like with the naked eye.

I'm prepared to announce and pursue at this neurodivergent conference call idea alone for a long time before it catches on. It's hard to make things catch on, especially with a crowd that isn't particularly sociable and good at showing up for appointments.

#AskFedi - does anyone know if this project is like dead dead or just quiet? http://etoileos.com/etoile/

Étoilé seems to be a lovely concept, but I'm not seeing much activity for nearly 9 years.

Adding "Set up regular Jitsi Meet conference calls for #ADHD people on Mastodon" to my to-do list, because that sounds like a good idea to me.

Just need to pick a weekly time that works for the maximum number of people in the maximum number of timezones...

This is from a year where I actually didn't do #100DaysToOffload

And the instance I first shared it on got lost to time...

Anyway, here's every smartphone I've owned so far, just so I can say I technically beat you to it @robb ;)

Alright, so my work is switching to Google Meet. I want to grill the IT team on Google harvesting biometrics and using it to train AI, but I need proof?
Comms on Google Meet are apparently "encrypted", but I call bullshit.

Please help #Google

Journalists: The student protestors appear to be college-aged individuals. Most of them are wearing Columbia sweatshirts. They're carrying overpriced textbooks. We have verified that they are enrolled in classes and are paying tuition to the university.

NYPD: Wow these Antifa agitators are using alarmingly advanced infiltration tactics.

First day of the new job at Boeing went really well! My coworkers all seem super nice. Didn't get near an airplane yet but the mandatory training video taught me how to silently strangle a whistleblower. My manager said we can wear jeans on casual Fridays.

I have a 12 inch iBook G4 if anyone within the continental US wants it. Not even going to ask shipping, I just want to get rid of it.

It's a lower specced one. It's physically damaged (looks to have been dropped) but I know the logic board still works.

I hate to, but 3 days til I throw it out.
