And as I said, the #iOS app is open source. I’ll request a Crowdin project soon. However, just because it’s open source doesn’t mean that we’ll accept any change through PRs. If you want to be sure, contact me first.

There's a 1 month notice on the TV contract even though it's "free."
So if I forget about it completely and never cancel, it has no consequences?
I guess if someone else requests it for the same address, they might want the box back.

Learned about gleraugnabirnir and wondered what they're called in other languages, thinking it's probably less goofy.

glasögonbjörn
brillebjørn
Brillenbär

Does anyone know if App Store reviews take a while to show up in the interface, or have none been submitted so far? 🤔

Makes you wonder... are there other data compression algorithms we could employ?

What if your favorite song/movie could be encoded as a compact factorial?

If you think about it, any text-file, any image or video, any executable on your machine is just stored as a series of 1's and 0's, and can simply be interpreted as a very, very large integer.

You're not running Excel, you're just running a number. You're not watching the latest episode of your favorite show, this is 180983984839912343232899016056542024...

I am having difficulty driving this interface this evening. I should probably pull over and get some sleep.

With much help from @nev, I believe I've identified this as an argiope aurantia, or yellow garden spider.

Cool.

At least I think it's cool. I came across this one while pulling weeds on my team's landscape day at work (the company has been running an experiment with doing our own landscaping at work). Anyway, I'm not from around these parts, so the species is unfamiliar to me. I didn't see it at first because its web was placed right in the middle of some weeds with yellow flowers I was pulling. I nearly grabbed it accidentally. Whatever it is, it seems to be a chonky, happy one.

Ezri: Or I own 6 identical versions of the same uniform.
Worf: No you don’t. There’s an old piece of carrot that’s been stuck to your back since Thursday.
Ezri: That’s... the style now.

Trying to create a Samsung account and it just won't let me.
Whatever randomly-generated password I put in, it says it contains my email address or phone number, and that's not allowed.

Why are corporations like this.
I don't need any account or credit card or anything on my laptop.

What if it was like internet. Plug ethernet cable into wall jack, and into router. Now you can internet. But no, every corporation needs their own junk with essentially DRM cards and shit.

Got the digital TV set up. I haven't had that before, so it's fascinating to see how much complexity they were willing to put in. Which provider do you have, which digital box (extra cables and remote,) or do you have a CI+ card in your TV, if your TV supports DVB-C that is, now enter the network ID for your region and some other gobbledygook… (my brain has checked out and my eyes are looking at the old outlet where you used to plug in the cable to get TV.)
