Nyt tänne #suomifedi 'in tuhannen taalan kysymys. Millaista tekoälyä olisit valmis käyttämään ja mihin tarkoituksiin? #tekoäly

Some #aikido folks sparring with some #judo folks in Japan. Nice to see a bit of pressure testing and I think this is useful as a playground, but the engagement setup is still not fully what aikido is going for and only #Shirakawa-sensei was really deploying some aikido tactics in distance […]

UX paper cut: If I tell or ask an app about something "tomorrow" and the time is somewhere between 0 and ~4 during the night, it should take that as "next morning" instead of the actual tomorrow. Or at least warn me. Signed, person who missed his bus because he looked at the wrong day's […]

En voi käsittää tälläistä putkinäköä markkinoinnissa. Bodom Bar radio mainos: "Ota yhteys Instagramin kautta tai tuu käymään." En viitsi ottaa selville onko niillä perinteisiä weppisivuja.

My parents have an alexa kettle that can only be turned on by speaking to alexa or using an app. So I can have tea as long as they have a wifi connection. Welcome to the 21st century.

Fill in your street party name tag. Try to be anatomically correct.

Just realised it's Doctor Who Day! 62 years today since the show's first broadcast. Comes round so fast each year. :) #doctorwho #doctorwhoday

Anyone interested in a drawing table? Ex Masa Yards. Free if you collect it from south Porvoo.

Just in case you had the slightest doubt about what Elon Musk is doing with X/Twitter, look at this brief thread. He is one of the true monsters of our era, and he uses X/Twitter to guide his fellow right-wing extremists to ever-more-extreme places. If you are still there, you should be ashamed.

That Europe pays America for weapons they graciously deliver to #ukraine is utterly preposterous. Even more offensive is that this was framed as some kind of diplomatic victory. Naturally, after all of that, Europe is not given any real hand in so-called negotiations. We have landed on the […]

I’ve been asked to be an uke for a friend, as part of his #aikido dan graduation next week. That role I take very seriously and as a great honour. My job, as part of his team, is to make sure he puts on a superb performance. In case you think that means being nice, and falling at the slightest […]

This is scandalous, disgusting #Pubs

HTTP has a new method: QUERY. Tl;dr: GET with a body. https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-httpbis-safe-method-w-body-14.html #ietf

And now at the #ukraine Friends evening, hosted by #fsecure as one of the #Slush events. Now talk of hybrid warfare and the role of technology.

Nice to get a chance to see the new @jolla Mind2 Enterprise and hear a bit more about the #venho #ai solution at #Slush.

The #jeep #recon #ev finally launches with 250 miles of range and a $65K price tag (plus couple thousand in destination fee or whatever). Sadly I don’t think this will be a hit product for Jeep. The trend has clearly been towards more affordable EVs, which this is not, particularly with a range […]

Today’s #earworm is definitely ‘Pain’ by #boyharsher. Deliciously dark, sexual and thumping electronics. A friend described it once as great music for jogging(!?). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s0gm8STMjDk

Hi! Today is my first official day as the Executive Director of Mastodon, replacing @[email protected] as CEO. I joined the Mastodon team more than 5 years ago, mostly working for Mastodon in the evenings on top of a 120% day job. I was the driving force behind the incorporation of the […]

Ohhh, I just noticed #remarkable nowadays supports searching notes via OCR. Makes finding some hidden away old notes a lot easier. Great!

On the topic of #irc, there is now a #Mastodon channel on #ircnet. It's very very quiet though.

Seems like #matrix or the #irc #IRCNet–Matrix bridge is acting flakey, so quite possibly related to this #cloudflare downtime.

Totally confused after seeing a European website (English language) with dates in American format. WTF?? I think that’s the second one I’ve seen. For the love of all that is holy, please let’s not go there.

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]

I saw a new exhibit of some of hiroshige’s 100 famous views of edo today and this one stopped me in my tracks

On deathbed with demonic cats. Vincent of Beauvais, Speculum historiale, Paris 1396. BnF, Français 312, fol. 334v. #medieval #medievalart

So who is in and around #Slush this week? Not planning to be at Slush proper, but probably peeking into a few side events. I know @jolla is hosting something. Anything else I should check out? #startups

#trump flip flops and now wants the #epstein files released after all. ‘I don’t care’. From: @fulelo https://journa.host/@fulelo/115563511801576225

For those outside Finland who haven’t been following this tragedy: #hyy, the Helsinki University student union, was one of the wealthiest in the world. They owned prime property in central #helsinki, built over a hundred years, and to the joy of many. Beautiful, historical buildings. Assets in […]

on bluesky there has been controversy over someone getting suspended over saying that they want to throw someone else into a wood chipper. that's why here on the fediverse we are adding a button that throws people into a woodchipper

Tänään opin että renderöiminen (atk-yhteydessä) käännetään suomeksi "hahmontaa". Ensin luulin tätä kielimallin hallusinoimaksi uudissanaksi.

People are always comparing themselves to one another in #martialarts. I’ve come to the conclusion there are two martial artists: Those who continue. And those who don’t. That’s it. #aikido #iaido #karate #judo #jujutsu

I just came up with what to call the new #iphone sock: a phonekini.

WTF, #apple launches an ugly #iphone sock / ballsack. And wants 230 moneys for it. The world has gone mad. https://www.macrumors.com/2025/11/11/apple-launches-iphone-pocket-accessory/

Come on people, do the right thing, don’t let Tennant win! Justice for Tom! https://toot.wales/@HannahHowe/115537727752130530

Finally got round to picking up a #library card here in #Nurmijärvi! About time, after living here for 9 years :D We have been using the electronic library app for magazines on an iPad. But useful to be able to use other library services too.

I haven't yelled that many (overwhelmingly excited) swear words at the sky for a long time. WWOOOOOWWWWW. Reddest auroras I've ever seen!! Usually it takes a long time exposure/CCD camera to see red at all. This is BRIGHT!! You can actually see easily outside […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Huh, it was the Year of The Lord 2025 when I discovered that #yesminister is a bloody brilliant comedy series. I know I know, I’m a bit late to the party, but it is wonderful to finally be enjoying it. And relevant, even (or especially?) today.

Apparently #tesla is offering car rentals on an experimental basis at a couple locations in the US. With the first 48 hours free (so basically an extended test drive). I always thought #car companies should do this. They have the #cars, they have the network, they want to sell you those cars […]

"Are you so arrogant that you think your posts are worth reading?" Yes. Actually, I think that's a pretty good minimum threshold for anyone posting something.

The Fediverse feels more vibrant when conversations are buzzing! Mastodon 4.5 fetches replies from other servers to show you more complete conversation threads - another much-anticipated feature.

President Trump is threatening to sue the BBC. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cd9kqz1yyxkt

This is super cool. #tcl has been compiled to run on a browser using #webassembly. The basic build includes some key libraries from tcllib as well as tDOM. It also has an extension that allows the Tcl script to interface with JavaScript. I’d be very tempted to do something fun with this […]

I suspect the Venn diagram of people who think the Mastodon messaging semantics are fine and people who want me to install Linux looks a lot like a circle.

Today I participated in #aikido training for people aiming to judge kyu gradings. I’m not sure if that’s something I will do, and honestly I kind of knew everything anyway, but it’s a small feather in the hat if I want to go that way or if I ever end up with my own dojo. Looking forwards to […]

The BBC’s director general and its chief executive of news have resigned over a documentary about Donald Trump. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cd9kqz1yyxkt

So far #plur1bus has seemed like a truly delicious #scifi black comedy. Very promising start based on the two episodes on #appletv.

dear mastodon: i'm just gonna throw this out here in the unlikely event that someone who knows about these things can help me out. my dad gave me his old Seiko Sportsmatic from the late 60s, series 7625-7000. he put a different bracelet on it at some point, but […] [Original post on beige.party]
