@julian @encyclia excellent idea, can't wait for it to go live 👏
@blitter definitely something involving Finns and vodka, not yet sure about the rest 🤔
@whitequark lol, that's... unexpected 🤣
Right now, Aalborg University is very much a Microsoft shop. Most of the academic staff use Macs (or #Linux, like your friendly neighbourhood nerd here), but the whole administration and backend is on #windows, #Teams, #Outlook & friends.
I do wonder whether it would be time to at least _consider_ alternatives such as #Mattermost, #libreoffice, #Nextcloud etc.
Seriously, try to read the PDF, it's a wild ride 😮 Incoherent ranting about secret societies, software engineering, academic conspiracies, you name it.
The author of this... document... is a certain Francisco V. C. Ficarra. And if you look at the homepage of Blue Herons Editions (http://www.blueherons.net/), then a "Miguel C. Ficarra" shows up as co-editor on a couple of their handbooks. I'm starting to wonder if this is all a one-man paper mill?
It's getting better and better: "Gardunia Factor for the Incessantt (sic!) Annihilation of International Conferences, Workshops, Symposiums and Scientific Working Groups"
Whatever Markov process is generating this CfP word salad is definitely a fan of the "Gardunia Factor". I've never heard this term before and googled a bit, and could find exactly two references: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardu%C3%B1a) and this absolute gem: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/354523730_The_G_Factor_in_the_Web_New_Technologies_and_Education_-_Handbook_of_Research_on_Software_Quality_Innovation_in_Interactive_Systems_Appendix .

@azonenberg @whitequark Not that I would be able to do anything useful with that, but the skyline of Seattle should be pretty well-defined, no? Couldn't I generate a reference image with Google Earth or MS Flight Simulator?
@tokyo_0 @soop seems like a great opportunity to put this into a Firefox extension? Or maybe that even exists already?
@EricAlper Judging if the modem connection is good, based on whether the handshake screeching sounds off. 🤷
@abulling Dune 1 & 2, IMHO sehr zu empfehlen 👌
Not long now until the entire school curriculum in the US is just Bible Studies and Russian. 😑
Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom (Netflix, 2023).
Well that was some cheesy shit. 😑
(Right in the gap between "tolerable" and "so bad it's good again".)
2/10.
Today in #parenting: trying to salvage a power bank that got soaked in yoghurt 🤢
@goncalor very good point - apparently, there are some relevant bits here: https://hackaday.io/project/176931-hp-printer-cartridge-control-module/details
(but still a long way from a working printer, though)
TIL that HP 304 and HP 305 ink cartridges are 100% identical in all respects (electrical connections, mechanical dimensions, ink content etc. etc.) - except the model number.
And of course, that means that some printers only accept the 304 type, and some only the 305 type. Guess who bought the wrong kind? 🤬
Fuck HP. I am very tempted to trace out the I2C connection between printer and cartridge, and patch in an uC to overwrite the model number. 😑
@katzenschiff Yep, hätte natürlich besser sein können, aber auch deutlich schlimmer. Außerdem: 84% Wahlbeteiligung ist solide.
@tamara Did this as well recently, but I got about 20% of books as AZW4, which apparently can't be de-DRMed as easily... no such issues in your case?
This is very accurate. (Even after 4+ years of learning Danish 🇩🇰 😅)
@randahl tbh, Surströmming does count as a WMD 😵💫
@paulehoffman @bagder Maybe not so impossible after all, on Linux at least: you could look at /proc/self/fd/1 (I think) and then figure out the connected process.
