Hmm. Looks like Twitter API authentication isn't working for the Python twitter library. I assume this means Twitter has finally shut down its open API? Don't have time to investigate this until the weekend. For now, NavierStokes won't be bridging messages between Twitter and other open social media services. Could be a fluke ... but given the behavior of leadership at Twitter, I am erring more on the side of this being some new money-making bulls**t. -

I'm in need of a little Nerd-Pr0n... what little useful thing comes into your mind as tool of at the Linux command line? Not a super-nerdy command to sophisticated resolve a problem, but a tool for actual problems that would also be useful for n00bs to take their fear about using the CLI?
So curling wttr.in is a nice trick - but yesterday I discovered v2 of the service (probably around for a million years but new to me).
curl v2.wttr.in/Berlin
yt-dlp and wget to fetch files from the Intenets without having to open a browser were on the list yesterday as well, but I'm eager to (re)discover some other nice tools.

Apparently when a poor child does it it's not impressive.

@thegibson @snipe It saddens me that in this day and age we STILL have satanic panics. Will those damned Christians ever leave people in peace?

"While various Pride Collection products are under review, the only ones now being removed are the LGBTQ brand Abprallen, which has come under scrutiny for its association with British designer Eric Carnell.
Carnell has faced social media backlash for designing merchandise with images of pentagrams, horned skulls and other Satanic products."
you know... I appreciate the satanic panic element to the story... because the complainers/threat actors are the same demographic.

From mcnees@mastodon.social on Mastodon: If you aren't too busy, take a minute to look through NASA's Project Apollo archive on Flickr. https://www. flickr.com/photos/projectapoll oarchive/albums This is a totally safe use of your time, you definitely won't look up two hours from now and ask where your morning went.

@marcan the problem is people tried to fix the X11 bare metal situation
and realized that you more or less have to reimplement an entire wayland server, with all it's compositing stack and redraw loop and modeset handling and everything else
and then you need to retrofit the X11 window model into that rendering pipeline, all while keeping the glamor acceleration going
people actually built this. it's called $wayland_compositor + Xwayland
that stack _is_ your modern bare metal X11 stack

@notjustbikes WE BOUGHT A NEW MONSTER TRUCK

I stumbled across this video when looking up new truck videos on YouTube. (It's important research! I promise!)
These Americans get convinced into buying an expensive pickup they can barely afford because they're having their 3rd kid.
And the best part? The truck doesn't even fit in their fucking garage!!
It's almost like a parody. It's insane that pickup trucks have become the new family vehicle.

@mattblaze Heh.
And kidding aside: the most memorable example I've seen of this was a comment on an article abt Faraday bags, which linked to a 1-star review some guy left for one, complaining that the bag completely ruined his WiFi reception. "Like, it barely even works, even when it's right on top of the router." Further comments revealed that he was 100% serious, and not joking around even a little bit.

Also, I have to wonder how someone could reach the conclusion that I think phone tracking isn't a real and very serious threat for some people based on a 5000 word article I wrote going into a great deal of detail on countermeasures against the threat of ... phone tracking.
