If you take a closer look at this picture of Jupiter you can find a cloud that looks like a dolphin

@HerraBRE I don’t know whether this is possible, but maybe you could build something like this with the iMessage Business Chat framework:

One thing that continues to impress me is how good smartphone cameras have become over the last years

Even the optical / digital image stabilization for videos isn’t that bad anymore

TIL that instead of having to type duckduckgo.com you can also use duck.com or ddg.gg

@ZenMondo After looking at some older photos of Jupiter I have to say that you’re absolutely right!

"This striking view of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and turbulent southern hemisphere was captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft as it performed a close pass of the gas giant planet.“

Jetzt spricht sich sogar die katholische Kirche (vertreten durch ihren Medienbischof) gegen Uploadfilter aus

„Stichwort EU-#Urheberrechtsreform: Zum christlichen Menschenbild gehört es, das geistige Eigentum anderer zu wahren. Gleichzeitig dürfen Konzerne und deren Algorithmen nicht darüber entscheiden, welcher Content auf ihren Plattformen erscheint. #uploadfilter sind keine Lösung!“

An interesting way to summarize the trade-off that comes with Brexit:

@JPEG Short update from my side:

"@you“ now shows the last 4 mentions and „activity“ seems to work again as well (approx. 15 entries / 4 days)

I have no recent DMs, so I can’t say whether this is working or not

@vfrmedia Happy birthday and all the best for your coming year!

@schlink We’ve already seen this with WhatsApp and it will always be a negative effect of moving towards E2EE messaging

For me the two main questions are:

- Are there ways to limit this abuse vector and is Facebook doing the best they can to find and implement them? (e.g. group size restrictions)
- In a world where we can’t escape trade-offs, is this still better than an imperfectly moderated global newsfeed that can be accessed and gamed by everyone?

@SlowRain After some quick research I think your description of them being an "over-earnest, angst-ridden guy who is trying very hard to be a social-media influencer“ explains quite a lot.

Looking at their shipping system I definetely have to agree that it’s far from ecologically friendly.

Probably a minor bug: after solving the captcha on the username / password page, the page for the Two-Factor Authentication code shows another captcha
