Hey @technomancy congratulations on the coverage by @hackaday of your #cybredecke !
I've enjoyed following your progress on the fediverse for awhile of course.

@interneteh rule one when driving through Hayden Valley:
Always yield to the bison.
They can also move faster than you might expect. Big != slow.
Same for moose. They are big but quite fast. Moose are also good swimmers. A moose once found its way int the lake by my parents farm and swam across it quite effortlessly.
What's this I spy that stops me in mid-pace?
A spotted spiral cat upon a spiral staircase!
@007 yeah sometimes glasses have that effect
@gcupc soon a collections agent is going to start phoning you at all hours threatening to come to your home and give you 46 dollars.
@esden @uint8_t @bamfic ...that said it saved me time from having to do it myself. If I was doing more small runs I'd invest in one of the desktop PnP machines based on the kind of tech 3D printers use.
@esden @uint8_t @bamfic I had pretty good luck with PCBWay printing and assembling a small run of boards I made in KiCAD. They were very diligent in making sure any ambiguities were addressed before production.
However you still need to be very patient! They work on China time and I'm in Canada so interacting isn't instant, nor is shipping. It took a few weeks and if I had equipment to do it in house even by hand it probably would have been done sooner...
@galaxis ... It seems my instance has an unusually high percentage of OStatus subscriptions hitting it, plus there are some active instances federated that do not support ActivityPub yet (notably mastodon.club for technical reasons never upgraded). Therefore I'm waiting for OStatus to die down more before I upgrade to keep in touch with .club ... and avoid the torrent of HTTP errors lol.
I'm not waiting forever, but will hold off on v3 for a few weeks until I see the transition.
@galaxis those instances have all been around a long time. They all existed before Mastodon implemented ActivityPub, as was the case with my instance.
I think that if there are follows that were made long time ago when Mastodon only used OStatus the subscriptions stayed on that protocol even when both instances involved got upgraded. You'd probably have to manually intervene to change them or wait for the other instances to upgrade to v3. I don't know of any other automated way...
On @librelounge sometimes we put on episodes that are outside of what our audience normally thinks about.
Our CyPurr episode was one I think every person in the Free Software community should listen to, but the download numbers for it are 1/4th the amount that we get when we cover a more geeky topic.
For me what differentiates LL from other shows is the "big picture" or moral issues/considerations, so it's sad those don't get more love.
@ink_slinger yep they did...in the 1990s in the latter days of gamevertisents.
Kinda cheesy
Very eggy
Virtual omelette.
I think a review of cursed gamevertisents would be an entertaining follow-up to the funko pop coverage by @taweret with that series of corporate mascot funkos.
@ink_slinger also "avoid the noid" from Domino's for the C64 and MSDOS, and even Humpty's diners (our local Canadian rival to Denny's) had a video game. I believe these were all cutesy platformers with their mascots as protagonists. These new generation games are more...interesting.
Gamevertisements is an old idea that I'd hoped had gone away :blobcheeky:
Take a moment to think back to these 3-5 feral hoglings
Ok first KFC makes a dating simulation game featuring #SexySanders
Now Wendy's has a tabletop RPG where Wendy has to vanquish the #EvilClown empire.
I have given up on society.

@emsenn a time lapse video clip of this would be fascinating actually
@ink_slinger @bgcarlisle I'm rather dismayed that flying cars and robot maids are not ubiquitous yet though
OK then.
Guess I'll be putting FORTRAN 77 back on mine then.
I haven't seen any conversation building up to this anniversary anywhere and I'm kind of surprised.
This upcoming November will mark the 30th anniversary of the opening of the very first commercial Internet service provider offering dial-up access to the general public.
That ISP is The World, and they still offer dial-up connections.
Corduroy...
Warp, weft 'n' wale!
It's still a jazzy, swingin' fabric.
@eject
Hmm...
Is it a mistake in the math or is it CSS rendered with Internet Explorer?
