Im trying to draw again

Someone with whom I don’t have any direct personal relationship has posted a picture of themselves in which they are clearly wearing my underwear, a fact of which I strongly suspect they are unaware.

All of my frends are very far off from being normal and i wouldn't have it any other way

The #kakapo chick Whetu-A3 hatched successfully, but we couldn't weigh it or check its health, and could only look in occasionally to see it was still alive. Worried it might injure itself when it came to fledge, our team built a ramp for it. #kakapo2026 #conservation 📸: Petrus Hedman

I am not ready to accept my supposed puppy nature.

Barking up a tree as a woodworking activity.

Every once in a while I think of the word “barking” and imagine it to mean trees shedding the outer layers of their stems.

having had the uncomfortable"cops reading your posts aloud to you" experience a decade ago, my takeaway is that however you feel about political violence, posting "i like political violence" on the internet is really really dumb

wdym I have to exist AND have a job??

Popcorn is such an underrated snack. It is trivial to produce in large quantities from dried maize kernels, which have a long shelf life, and you can flavour it in infinite variety.

One of the most annoying C++ things I have recently witnessed was an implicit bool conversion operator for a class that is regularly converted explicitly into a numeric type. It took me a while to figure out why a network interface ioctl would fail despite the supplied net mask looking valid.

Another thing about C++ that has been regularly blowing up in my face is inconsistent and intransparent default initialisation. In Rust by comparison you need to ask for uninitialised data very explicitly and promise to the compiler that you will be careful.

(depol, polemisch) Ein Steuergeschenk an die Mineralölkonzerne war kein Problem, aber eine Option für eine steuerfreie Einmalzahlung an Arbeitnehmer·innen würde uns leider ruinieren.

I like how C++ is slowly developing towards more resembling Rust, but the need to preserve backward compatibility makes the language horribly unergonomic and inconsistent.

Still my favorite pin from my collection :3

Tediously creating minimalistic Linux kernel configurations by hand is finally paying off.

Here's #kakapo Rimu's cliff-top entrance. It's a narrow ledge and a long way down, so a very precarious place for a chick to first venture outside! With the chick found inside this nest, the number of chicks alive increased to 93, out of 106 hatched. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Maybe it’s a bad time to eliminate epidemiology in the United States.

Good god. Trump fired the entire National Science Board without explanation on Friday afternoon.

I feel that most of forms of identitarian essentialism (variations of “born this way” or “socialised this way”) are not that useful and often misleadingly reductionist and dehumanising.

I feel like this exemplifies a fundamental misunderstanding about reality and models. Quarks are no more “real” than other things described by models because we ultimately have no special insight into reality beyond inference. kolektiva.social/@Tofu_Golem/...

There’s an argument to be made about complex drug interactions and mortality, but I’m pretty sure that the author of the original post was not referring to that.

(nonsense, pol, reductionist critique, sarcasm) Free Palestine, but as in free real estate.

How your email finds me.

Nice reminder that because a study is published in a journal does not mean it’s a good study or that its stated conclusions are reasonable! When people say they are “doing their own research,” even if reading primary literature, missing the context & subtleties can lead to wildly wrong conclusions.

If you want to be a better engineer, you need to take estrogen. Every 10x dev I know is on E. The mass Rust migration? E. Your favorite open source maintainer? On E. The girl using NixOS on a ThinkPad from 2012 who rewrote your entire infra in a weekend? On E. Stay competitive or get left behind.

This late into a #kakapo breeding season, long after the mating has finished, a few males will still be at their bowls. They'll be sporadically booming, but most often you'll hear their 'skraaks' as they scrap for territory before returning to their winter ranges. #kakapo2026 #conservation

The platypus should be sleeping, but instead he is watching tutorials on how to fall asleep fast... it is 4 AM.

Blåhajj.

The SCM space is dominated by Git nowadays, but I find Pijul’s data model a lot more elegant: pijul.org

Nest, the web-based Pijul repository browser and collaboration platform, has been open source for a while now: nest.pijul.com/pmeunier/nest

At least 1/3 of cladistics is part of a long-term, elaborate effort by a cabal of taxonomists to punk another, completely humorless cabal of taxonomists. They want us to believe that Whale-Hippos--literally called "whippos"--are a legit group. *Whippos*
