Fabric sofas are superior to leather sofas.
in reply to Anon Opin

Superior in what respect? We have two black leather sofas that we bought in 2004. We expected them to start looking tatty and need replacing after five or ten years, but even today they look as good as new.


On dirait un sapin de Noël cosmique… 🎄✨

Ce que vous voyez n’est pas une illustration ni une création IA, mais NGC 2264, un amas de jeunes étoiles situé à environ 2 500 années-lumière de la Terre.

Vu sous cet angle, l’univers semble lui aussi avoir décoré son sapin 🎇

La nature - même à l’échelle cosmique - adore nous rappeler qu’elle a un sens de l’esthétique assez bluffant.

Bulgaria News Today, Dec 14: Governmental Changes Spark Economic Speculation byteseu.com/1626585/ #Bulgaria


This just sounds horrendous, but is a perfect example of why you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. Especially a basket you don't control.

I hope he gets it sorted out.

Yea, this is the problem with everything being tied together through a single ecosystem. Yea, there are a lot of advantages for your ease of use if everything is designed from the ground up to work together. Then there's this. Someone at that company pushed a button and took away everything he's worked for for decades. He trusted them so he has no alternatives. He's pretty much up Shit Creek as we Americans like to say. It turns out Apple is just a corporation, and they care about money.

That is crazy! Adding this to "reasons why you shouldn't keep getting Apple stuff" pile. It's grown a lot in the last two years.



Europe needs its own social media as you cannot trust that Trump will not use US social media against Europe’s democracies….
So, true. It has been obvious for a long long time but now may be more politicians will walk the talk? Mastodon is so European as it can be, decentralized, open source and no manipulative algorithms. The Danish gov does not even have a server which Danes could use for sign up, so just chose one here; joinmastodon.org

I bet EU politicians will decide that Europe needs ‘social media’ that is exactly like the US big tech version: an advertising / psychological manipulation platform with central control that has some social features on the side to drive the data harvesting.

Back to this map and some manual features-now-covered-by-water digitising. Mapping things that might suck to fall out of a kayak over top of. Or, alternately, places to to cast a spinning lure near but not into... 🎣

Looks like over 120 timber features made from trees thinned from the dam wall were added to the reservoir (quite a few left to map). Lots of fish habitat! Might have to adjust the kayak route to avoid them a bit better 😁 . Although, kudos to the local council!

@fletch canoe sonar would fit super well with drone mapping and optical flow microhydrology...

...but everyone wants to pay money to gigacorporations for ai™️

Any Irish folk around? In the Christmas style mince pies, there isn't actually minced meat in the mincedmeat-filling? Mostly apples and raisins, right (apart from suet, which might be considered meat I suppose).
