Who can come up with the most edgy brand name for an enshittified "as-a-service"-type startup, by replacing an "I" with a "Y" in a word? I'll go first:

YCE-CREAM™

Went out last night to try capture the auroras, but didn't see any unfortunately. Did see some satellites and a lot of stars and some milkyway tho, so have this moving long exposure clip that condenses 5 minutes into 1 second

A beautiful starry sky, on the left there's a vague imprint of the milkyway, in the bottom middle there are some light dots/lines that quickly jolt by

Went to the windmill nearby because they had an open day, got an amazing tour while they were closing up everything, very happy I went to check it out

Walking around a windmill, starting at the top, pointing at parts of the machinery, then going down. Some Dutch words are exchanged with the maintainer of the windmill

@feliks kinda! I heard dutch sounds a bit like drunk/slurred german, the other way around it kinda sounds like maybe you got your mouth full or you're adding extra noises to the words I suppose? Plus some words being completely different like fahrrad vs fiets

I bought some shrimp, expensive 7.50 package so I assumed it'd be good. It smelled like it'd been fermenting for a year. So I tried baking them but it was still terrible. Finally a cat came to check out all these smells, so I gave them the (cooled down) shrimp, but they did not seem amused haha

If the cat doesn't want it I think it's fairly safe to say it's expired :anthropylaughingptd:

Despite being up late, living rather north, having clear skies, sitting under a window aimed at the sky, and interacting with northern light toots, it did not occur to me to actually go outside and check myself. :distraught:

Many people canceled their Openai subscriptions, or it is tough to monetize stuff created with generative AI, I guess, so Sama comes with a new plan to use all those GPUs. They are now going after OF models. WTF OpenAI? They are going to allow deepfake? This company is beyond evil 👿

Does anyone know of a place on earth where I can just build a cabin in the middle of the woods and not be bothered by any government, because it seems that such a place does not exist

@koffiekat a brother of mine bought a shack in the middle of the woods of sweden, it's about 10-20km hiking from the nearest bit of civilization/infrastructure, there's no running water or electricity, and apparently there are more such places out there

consider donating half (or even a tenth) of what you would've paid for the commercial alternative, to the free/opensource projects you're using instead.

Imagine how much these could develop if everyone paid the same as they pay commercial parties, we could easily make these the dominant tools we use; a world where all the tools are available to everyone regardless of income is a hell of a way to provide equity to the creators of the world, similar to what UBI would do ✨

Who would win: The forb or the foxarella stick?

anthropy, (edited )
@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz avatar

@volpeon tough one, the Foxarella stick is in full battleform and has their :drgn_scream: ready to engage, whereas the Forb is in defense form and can likely shrug off damage like a tank.

Could be a tie, depends if the Foxarella stick gets eepy (not unlikely)

Have something cursed, because I beer'd my laptop and it made the keyboard sticky. I'm too lazy to take it apart entirely just to fix the keyboard, so I'm just dousing it in distilled water :drgn_3c_evil:

It'll be fine.. Probably. Likely. Hopefully. Only one way to find out and that's Science! :bongo:

Video of a sink where someone is holding a laptop, the keyboard keys aren't working well (sticky) and are making crackling noises, so the laptop (with the full mobo still inside) gets hosed off with distilled water

anthropy,
@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz avatar

@osric I literally just booted it up and it's fine! Keys aren't sticky anymore either

anthropy,
@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz avatar

Still works! Also keys no longer sticky!

It seems completely dry, but I'm gonna heat it up a bit with some benchmarks to get the last bits out that may be stuck under chips and such; the biggest danger is galvanic corrosion over time if there's still some water in there (altho distilled water should be very high impedance)

What the server is running on btw

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz avatar

@aniki I remember that mobo! people often also bought that specific copper CPU cooler with it, it was an interesting board because it could handle both DDR2 AND DDR3 by virtue of a special module you plugged into either the ddr2 or 3 slot, allowing you to use the other slots. Not sure if it's MSI or Gigabyte, it's been quite a while, but one of those two for sure
