This is correct.

Eh yes, Canberra may be the most boring capital in the world, but buses with front bike racks and superb road cycling through national parks? That’s elite boring done well, if you ask me.

Witness the stunning timelapse of a lightning storm over Western Australia, where nature's fury creates a breathtaking spectacle of light and power.

Fantastic news, throwing phones away when the battery dies is quite ridiculous. We don't need super thin phones, we need phones we can repair.

Pretty sick of waking up and having to check on what crazy stuff happened while we slept.

Yoda on a walkie would be a total disaster. Saying “Over” before every message. Get serious

Elon Musk announced on yesterday's earnings call that, despite years of promises, Tesla's "Hardware 3" will never be able to achieve autonomous driving. Every Tesla built from 2019-23 will never be able to do the most important thing they were sold to do. So, naturally, TSLA stock went up.

I still think a lot about how GPT told me I was wrong and cited a paper to prove it. I asked it to look at the authors of that paper and tell me if any names looked familiar. It was my paper. I authored it. I AM PRETTY SURE I KNOW HOW THIS WORKS.

Please do not ask bookworm if they are going to finish the books they have before buying more. It is very offensive in our culture.

Hi @dontattempt.bsky.social have you seen linxicon.com? Seems up your alley.

Still a stone cold bop.

Depluralise a movie. Angry man.

I could eat my weight in lemon curd. There’s no point to this. I just really want homemade lemon curd.

Librarians are amazing. You can ask them about a book you think might have been a dream, but you’re pretty sure you read when you were eleven and the cover was blue…and they’ll find it! 💙📚

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic! Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

So much success...

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

When will autocorrect realize it’s realise?

just saw this and yeah, that's my ideal exercise routine

I saw someone on here arguing the other day that you don’t own a book, you only own a license to the book and the book itself is a token of the license. I assure you, I own my books. I can lend them out. I can read them aloud to my child. I can sell them to other people. I can hit you with them

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

This is too flip for the occasion but I really want to know if a 21 hour negotiation meeting between Iran and the US is broken up several times a day with everyone standing around drinking filter coffee and eating bad sandwiches while exchanging small talk like every long meeting I've ever been to.

From a post: “Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

Travel is wild. Hello, stranger with laminated sheet showing tour prices. I will go on that tour where I pay a second stranger for a third stranger to take me to a seemingly sea-worthy boat so a fourth stranger can drive the boat to a fifth stranger who will show me a world heritage site. Thank you!

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

Sorry I'm late. There was an online form and I had to scroll to my birth year.

Always enjoy centrists believing despite it all we can’t do anything to hurt our alliance with the USA, as if it is actually in our interests to be a US marine and sub base, as if that is a cheap form of our defence, as if that makes us safer. It stopped being 1942 a long time ago.

what if you could navigate unicode characters by visual similarity?

Hi @mattbevan.bsky.social. Happy Easter! Big fan, love your work. Absolutely love the black swan artwork on the bookshelf on your set. Where did that come from?

Oddly, BUOYANT spells BOAT

My daughter, her boyfriend’s mom, and I went to a workshop called “cake therapy for slightly unhinged women” and we decorated cakes. This is mine, which got a bit squished on the drive home.

Seems like really bad timing for New Jersey to have made it prohibitively difficult for people to purchase and use e-bikes. Let it be a cautionary tale for other states: Talk to experts and don't enact draconian laws that lump e-motos and and pedal-assist bicycles in together.

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything? That’s how the internet was.

I think that every city should make bike lanes and biking trails a priority if we are to address climate change in any meaningful manner.

Extraordinary to be reading in the media about our chances of surviving a global nuclear war... 43 years post "The Day After" and terrifying another generation. We are the dumbest species to ever walk the planet, and that includes cockroaches.
