@john_fisherman how do we always go back to the infamous 'cappuccino senza schiuma'?

It didn't take much before Livia discovered her own website. I am wondering what will happen when she'll visit it...

@john_fisherman just wait until she starts looking at and improving her own code.

@paulrickards thank you for this awesome plot.
Should I try it on my #commodore SX64?

jamez, 2 months ago

@paulrickards I could write 1989 Block Out on it... just kidding, I don't want to risk ruining this beautiful plot!

I think the elephant in the room right now around #AI is that it reflects a divergence away from creativity’s symbiotic relationship with technology.

For decades, creativity and technology made one another better. Now tech companies have found a new, cheaper hotness. And it could get ugly.

@ernie @tedium well written, Ernie. I felt every single word, very personally.

I'm a sucker for weird and esoteric tags, like these word squares someone has been writing in our neighborhood lately. Each square is a type of acrostic that can be read horizontally or vertically. For example:

T R U S T
R A N C H
U N D E R
S C E N E
T H R E E

#SFGraffiti #WordSquare #Tagger #SanFrancisco #acrostic

A trash can where a tagger has written the words: mind, idea, neat, data
A section of sidewalk where a tagger has written a word square. This can be read horizontally or vertically and it says: Heart, ember, abuse, resin, trend.
A tag on the wall that says: feast, earth, armor, stone, threw. Each word is written above the other word in clear columns, so the words can be read vertically or horizontally.

@docpop Fun!

Some 20 years ago I wrote a program to generate all horizontal and vertical magic squares for a given word.

It didn't look for backward readings, because it limited the amount of combinations too much...

@Tekchip very cool! I sometimes wonder if I should give kickstarter a try for my own ePaper project...

jamez, 3 months ago

@Tekchip Thanks for the encouragement! I'm a bit PTSDed from B2C, for the time being. I might try it when I feel brave.

Always nice when the security bug you encountered while migrating to a new #thunderbird hasn't been fixed since it was opened 3 years ago... 🤦‍♂️

@thunderbird hi there! I was not the original reporter. I'd be happy to help. I was going to reopen the issue on bugzilla, let me know if you prefer a different channel.

@thresfold so soothing! How's the final result?

@thresfold Very nice! Congrats. Have you looked into convenient ways for people to buy these? That is, unless you are not interested in that.

@john_fisherman or the opposite of one. I was facepalming every bit of the way as I learned of the goiânia accident.

Now for a good nuclear super hero movie set in an unlikely place, please proceed watching "Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot".
