Good review of a book on the frustrating early spiritualist / huckster #DanielDunglasHome who famously had ghosts play #accordion at séances in the 1860s 👻🪗
Frustrating, because nobody seems to know how he did it
Some say he had a tiny #harmonica in his mouth 😬
But the accordion moved by itself and stuff. So annoying 🤨
I would love to see someone revive this act at our @accordionnoir festival 🔮

im aiming to make it as secure as theoretically possible. for transparency, its an open source unminified webapp. id like the experience to be as close to possible to a regular chat app. there are known limitations with what is possible with p2p and webapps. my priority is privacy and security.
to keep this post brief, please take a look at this article. it has all the information and links. im not much of a writer, so feel free to reach out for clarity. i go into some details about the privacy and security aspects of the app in this lemmy post.
i dont think its ready to replace any app or service, but id love to get feedback on what you think would make it so you would use it more than once.

#ExtremeWeather causes power blackouts.
"We can begin to solve the problem by implementing #CleanEnergy and climate policies to reduce climate pollution and minimize future extreme weather events. And we can try to adapt by winterizing infrastructure and deploying grid-stabilizing solutions like battery storage and inter-regional transmission connections. "
I maintain that what the IA did wrt. ebook lending was the wrong answer to the wrong question. The *RIGHT* question was "how to make library loans and copyright work in the internet age" and the *RIGHT* answer is "campaign for Public Lending Right in the USA".

Say goodbye to all that sweet, sweet productivity.
Because Balatro is coming to mobile. The poker roguelike that I refuse to play because I enjoy being a productive member of society will come to iOS, Apple Arcade, and Android on September 26th. Balatro’s developer LocalThunk released a cheeky new trailer for the announcement, knowing full well he’s about to tank the global economy. Check it out here.

A suspected gunman has been shot dead by German police near the Israeli consulate and a Nazi history museum in Munich, according to Bavaria state’s Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann.
The deadly incident took place in the Karolinenplatz area of Germany’s third-biggest city and the capital of Bavaria at about 9am on Thursday and involved an 18-year-old Austrian national who acted “with a long-barrelled gun”, a Munich police spokesperson said.

I find the preparation & layout impressive! Using the protection panels *prior* to digging and using a nearby space to place the various tool-heads, which go *back* to their respective *spots* !!
The operator has a deft hand using the various tool-heads *and* the pincer claws!
I particularly like the diamond pattern for compacting soil around the access cover!
Thanks for sharing!

Especially when it's someone using a real skill.
I can spend hours watching truck drivers reversing into tight spots, or chocolatiers building extravagant creations, or musicians playing obscure instruments, or coders coding.

in reply to stux⚡ • • •in the US there would be a supervisor who couldn't do this impatiently waiting and irritatedly saying, "hurry up". A team of 5 Mexican told to clean up the site but given only a shovel and no further instructions. And the backhoe would be rented for the day, have 2 tool heads that needed a sledge hammer to change a pin when they were switched, and the operator is a guy who lied on his application and still doesn't know what all the switches do.
Experts are self employed for a reason.
