Just saw a reference to the former Ok glacier in Iceland, which a few years ago shrunk so much that it stopped being a glacier. Please read this plaque they put up next to it.

The Nimble Needles guy, who does the highest quality knitting tutorials I've ever found, just released a video on how AI is destroying the knitting community. (Seriously, if you knit and haven't heard of him go to his website, he has the best advice on everything -- common problems, beginner techniques, advanced techniques, everything -- with beautiful, clear photos.) https://youtu.be/kEv04Pdaad4 #knitting
(Probably not actually keeping me safe from Apple “Intelligence”, but why not try everything just in case)
my husband: Yeah, it looks like you've got a bunch of race conditions. I think the proper thing to do is to put down the javascript and run away into the forest.
I just learned the Japanese word for conceit, or bragging about yourself: 自負 (jifu). The kanji mean "myself" and "defeat".

@datarama@hachyderm.io @GinevraCat@toot.community Rocks, basically. Laptop is geode, mac mini is pebble. My iPad used to be opal but now I have a black one so it’s onyx. Had a cloud server I called okenite because, well, look at it.
Dear #knitting lazy web: does anyone know of any patterns for socks with thick bottoms? I bought some socks in Scotland that are thick, warm, and squooshy on the bottom and they are my new best friends. I want to make more! Searching on ravelry was not productive, but it's a difficult thing to search for. I can't figure out a way to do it on my own without knitting flat and seaming.
My amaryllis is doing its annual bloom. It’s going to start making announcements soon.

@VVLD1cl@social.vivaldi.net @Sustainable2050@mastodon.energy They can do what my gemeente and the local universities have done and set up a Mastodon server. Then anyone can view their content, no account needed, and they have control over their own message.

Dear Lazy Web,
I have this orchid, and I think it wants a bigger pot. My understanding is that they like air and not a big pot of dirt, though, so I’m not sure what to get for it. Any advice? Boosts welcome.

@peter@thepit.social Yeah, between the apparent ease of transmission, and all the people who got off in St. Helena and just flew back to their homes all over the world, I think any chance of containment has passed. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cnvpzgn26edo

@Gina@fosstodon.org @janl@narrativ.es I’m with you, Gina. Having everything be yet another open tab in my browser is a pain. I can automate interactions better with apps, blocking their notifications at different times, choosing which ones I do or don’t want appearing on my home screen at different times, etc. When it’s all in a browser it’s just all one big distracting mess.

@johnefrancis @catzilla @raymaccarthy @infobeautiful That debunking has also been debunked at this point, believe it or not
I posted this in a group chat so it’s in my paste buffer so I’m also going to stick it here because everyone should get to enjoy it: https://youtu.be/vaG5tVnpkwc
“… He also said the company was experimenting with feeding in reporters' notes [to AI] to create articles. "Journalists who embrace and experiment with this tool are going to win," Nelson said in the meeting. "Journalists who are defiant will fall behind"”
and newspapers who do this will not get subscription fees from me.

@gemeenteamsterdam We need a map of which streets of the canal ring are blocked due to construction each day. Just want to know which ring to pick so I don’t have to end up zigzagging all over the place.

@FeloniousPunk This is exactly how I felt when I accidentally checked the news and the socials yesterday

@meljoann@topspicy.social @_elena@mastodon.social oh nice! There’s a TV guide at the bottom even
Replying to
@Photo55 @gemeenteamsterdam Unfortunately, no. This is an area designed to discourage car traffic, and when there aren’t a lot of cars app designers don’t care. Most road users here are on bike, and having to bike way out of your way because the road is closed is definitely a pain. Unfortunately all the apps are made by Americans who think bikes are toys so 🤷🏻

@gemeenteamsterdam In general, but I’d like to be informed of where to find it via mastodon. I don’t have accounts on the other social media platforms, so this is where I get updates from the gemeente, and this is the sort of thing I like to hear about.

@marcedwards @jelv The ones on the bottom don’t line up because they’re in a frame, same as before.

@newsroom@social.publicspaces.net @touaregtweet@mastodon.social This is good news. Looking forward to them replacing that Twitter sidebar feed with a mastodon one 🤨
