So I took a random 100W solar panel I have laying around, plugged it into one of those Chinesium 120V grid tie inverters that you can just plug into the wall, and it sits in my yard and it actually makes me 20¢ per day.

Eat your heart out miners.

soundasleep,

@kwf can I ask, what are you using to mine?

Oh my god. “Pulling out all the stops” of an organ means opening all the valves to generate maximum sound, absolute full power.

Well into my 40’s and it’s the first time I’ve connected this expression. Thanks, random TikTok.

Are you an planning to launch a game on this year that will support ?

Be sure I'm following you! Hi! And leave a link to your game, duh :)

soundasleep,

@gamingonlinux I'm hoping to add Linux support to Adaptory! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2201620/Adaptory/ & @stormcloak

yes, a half-abandoned Mastodon branch with the revenue of a hot dog stand but the debt of a small country is definitely worth $6 billion

soundasleep,

@thomasfuchs jfc, $9m in R&D? Do they have a hundred devs?? That balance sheet is so bad I think I need a sit down.

New!! Observations of our Event Horizon Telescope () collaboration have uncovered strong & organized magnetic fields spiraling around the edge of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). Images in polarized light of the in the Milky Way center reveal structures similar to those in M87*, suggesting that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes. This also hints toward a hidden jet in Sgr A*!

Blue oval with a red center line and wavy hairlike structures showing the polarized radio lighter measured by the Planck satellite of the entire sky with the Milky Way prominently along the horizontal center line. Inset toward the center show an inclined ring and two spikes, which are gas streamers in the Galactic Center measured by Sofia (DLR/NASA). Inset to the left shows the polarized ring of the black hole radio image from the EHT again.

@hfalcke does anyone have a link to the actual paper(s)?

Dear @mozilla
Please, please, please put the RSS indicator back in Firefox.

People need to know about this technology which empowers users over greedy, controlling corporations.

Update: As many have pointed out, you can use @thunderbird as an RSS feed reader, and there are many add-ons to restore the RSS indicator (one of which I'm already using). But my point is that Firefox needs to lean into RSS as an answer to all the crap that is the modern web, and help educate users about it

soundasleep,

@RL_Dane I fully agree! For now though, I'm using this and it seems pretty good https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/want-my-rss/

I’m at in Germany this week.
If you’re there too and spot me feel free to come say hi!

(Though if you only know me off the internet please let me know otherwise I’ll be wondering where I should know you from!)

soundasleep,

Ok, I’m hyped for . My first fair in years. I always loved the stress and rush of these events, and the exhaustion at the end of the week!

Who else will be in Cologne that week?

soundasleep,

@cliophate I'm going to be there with @stormcloak and I'm so excited!

Anyone going to this year?

soundasleep,

@cliophate I'll be there with @stormcloak with our video game Adaptory 😀

soundasleep, to gamedev

No, you're the one that's procrastinating on Mastodon instead of getting tests to pass on your liquid pipe network calculator

soundasleep,

@Nifflas In Adaptory I want the player to be able to build liquid pipe networks that have sources, sinks, and generally drain in a nice way! It's harder than I thought 😅

soundasleep,

@Nifflas thank you so much! we're also at @stormcloak and on Discord @ https://adaptorygame.com/discord if that's your jam! 😊

There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today:

@Mastodon This is a great write up @Gargron - thank you!

I didn't realise just how messed up was until I checked their latest user agreement:

i.e. whatever you post, we can completely remove your name, do whatever we want with it, make you say whatever we want, claim you eat dead puppies, etc.

I don't know HOW that can be legal. https://kbin.social/m/technology@beehaw.org/t/109830/Reddit-is-telling-protesting-mods-their-communities-will-not-stay
