Visiting Europe always makes me hate north American electrical plugs again.

It's a low bar to pass, but it's a good con when I am not the focus of attention of con security.

Screenshot of an article headline "AI layoffs to backfire: Half quietly rehired at lower pay" with "at lower pay" being highlighted

A large fruit bat, with a fox-like head, hangs upside down from a branch, its dark, furry body mostly visible in the shade. One translucent, brown wing is stretched open to the sunlight. The bat is set against a textured, light brown rock face, with tree branches and leaves framing the scene. The wing's veins and bones are visible, because the sun shines through from the back.

If anyone is at #fbl13 and is taking #commissions for a badge, I need one that says "Barbare américain"

Boo..most of the museums are closed on Mondays. Guess I'll just urbex then

Had someone walk up to me earlier and inform me that it was illegal to use a tripod where I was (it was not). When I realized it was just some ill-informed busybody and not anyone with any actual authority, it felt just like being on social media, except in person.

A sign that reads “Give me coffee to change the things I can, and weed to accept those that I cannot.”

If this ain't a mood, I don't know what is.

I interviewed Paulina Borsook, who warned of tech culture's toxic underbelly over 30 years ago.

She wrote a prescient and scathing book, "Cyberselfish."

It tanked her career, but a new generation is discovering her work as tech fascism tries to kill democracy 👇

Grah! Got a ubiquiti g5 turret Ultra camera to replace a g3 flex that died. Got it all updated to the latest firmware, and discovered that this series no longer supports standalone mode. Cannot use it with my own NVR

Any recommendations in the ubiquiti series that still supports standalone mode?

Analog photograph of a white canine, possibly a wolf, sitting on his knees on the floor and drawing on a roll of paper with what would normally be a comically large pencil. He looks very concentrated. Coming in from just outside the frame on the left, someone's human arm is contributing to the scribbling with an equally oversized pencil.
