    Wait, you or Dr. Cooley are at Perimeter? Giving any public lectures?

    If so, I'll hop on my bike to attend!

    Several other authors of software that accesses the Twitter API have come to that conclusion as well. When #Twidere, my phone app to access Twitter stopped accessing Twitter back in January I pretty much abandoned Twitter. I still check Twitter with its WebUI, less than once a week, but I no longer post or engage there.

    But Twitter still gets used by some organizations I do work for, so I do post from their accounts. I wonder how long it will be before they abandon Twitter too.

    I finally had a chance to figure out why my social bridging software was no longer able to talk to Twitter. Indeed, it's because under Twitter's new leadership, python-twitter has been deemed as violating something in their terms of service. It says I can submit a ticket, but they make it impossible to figure out how to do that (the service portal is a loop). So I am deciding to no longer support Twitter and will focus entirely on federated social media.

    Got weirdly hung up on a simple problem involving the Poisson equation, and still have not resolved it. Who knew an isotropic collisionless gas in a spherically symmetric gravitational potential would be so IRRITATING? https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/7fcc02ad3df2ed9843b945250eef98bff9f7892a5da3711780562d1c81133b64/view

    I'd be more inclined to say "people voting the way the polls said they should..."

    I have to laugh and shake my head at Smith calling it a "Miracle on the Praries". No, you were leading in the polls pretty much the whole time. You're in a strongly conservative province. I mean, if you're saying that it's a miracle that the majority of Albertans chose to ignore your terribleness, then yes, sure. But people voting the same way the polls said they would isn't a miracle. If the UCP ran with a saner leader, they probably would have won by a lot more.

    I’ve been getting more into the game Gaslands with my son and also with adult friends. It’s a Mad Max-esque tabletop game where you’re expected to create your own game pieces by kitbashing with toy cars. I already have all the crafting, painting and 3d printing supplies I need from my other wargaming hobbies, so the barrier to entry was incredibly low. It’s a lot of lighthearted fun. Here is my latest creation.

    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.

    I have my own workaround for just this issue.
    I raise my hand to the "Stop/Hold" position.
    Get to a point where I can stop and leave myself a note on the next thing to do.
    Then let them interrupt me.
    I have even done this to my former boss and the owner. It wasn't long before they adopted it for the same reason.
    YMMV

    I will add some love for #Ventoy. I had a fight with UEFI on $SPOUSE's new laptop, where it wouldn't boot from USB no matter what I tried. There were no EFI files set up to allow booting from anything other than Windows, Windows Recovery, or UEFI firmware upgrade.

    But the laptop recognized an EFI file on the Ventoy thumbdrive, so I could boot the laptop, press F2 like a madman to enter the setup, reconfigure the boot setup to use the Ventoy's EFI, then reboot again, now from the thumbdrive into the Ventoy selector screen.

    But then I had reason to boot into Windows again (so reboot, mad F2s, reconfigure, reboot) but stupidly left the Ventoy thumbdrive connected. When I was done with Windows I rebooted, mad F2s, but now the Ventoy EFI file was gone. I had to re-flash the thumbdrive with a fresh copy of Ventoy-UEFI to make it come back.

    Now the laptop boots directly into Debian. I wonder the Debian EFI option will be wiped if $SPOUSE ever decides to boot into Windows again...
