20k+ singers and as many (or 2x?) concert goers at this years youth song festival in Estonia. So proud to have our oldest on stage. We did get absolutely drenched twice, so worth it 🙂 #tallinn #estonia

mi devas konfesi ke mankas al mi la esperantlingva komunumo de twiter. estis multe pli da homoj tie kaj mi ege ŝatis fari stultajn ŝercojn kaj interagi kun ili. mastodon estas multe malpli aktiva kaj apenaŭ estas esperantistoj ĉe bluesky

Seeing people doubt the technological genius and humanitarian nature of Elon Musk, but have you considered that earlier this year he launched the largest rocket ever off a flat slab, hurling chunks of concrete thousands of feet in every direction, destroying his launch site and a wildlife preserve?

“While it is clear that Trump fans don’t care about the former president’s misogyny, might they care about the claims he sexualized his own daughter? ... They’re the people triggered by a book about seahorses, for God’s sake, because it contained too many details about their mating rituals. And yet, they have no problem voting for a guy who pays off porn stars and allegedly fantasizes about his daughter. Republican family values in action.”

#macOS #Sonoma beta is pretty unstable.
It is incompatible with Xcode 14, and Xcode 15 crashes for me way more than usual. My fav clipboard manager FlyCut is incompatible. Menubar sometimes renders text gray-on-gray. Auto-hiding Dock sometimes doesn't appear.

If Dakota would get rid of its Republicans, maybe it could compete with Minnesota. Competition is good, right? Their governor says so.

LOL this is not how you deal with "data scraping," this is how you deal with a catastrophic loss of system capacity.

You limit data scraping by blocking things a human user couldn't do, like access a thousand posts a minute. This is aimed directly at reducing normal activity across the whole system.

@LillianVS same exactly. I managed to recruit a mod from /r/Cardano for my lemmy.world Cardano community. But, I created quite a few other communities that I’d love to pass the mod duties ont as well. In each case, I started them because I wanted to protect them from nefarious actors; properly hand over the reins to trusted community members.

I want to transfer my mod duties at lemmy.world for:

#Machinists
#GuitarAmps
#RedneckEngineering
#Offset
#Darktable
#GIMP
#Krita

This is a great overview of how to fix the scourge of inline'd SVG in today's web apps:

I will only add that the React overhead of using JSX as a templating system for SVG is dramatic, and not in a good way.

Just for fun/the aesthetic I decided to set up an old flatpanel g5 ppc imac and start a new game of Fallout 1 on it.

Results: it makes the case fans just howl the entire time. I also found a bug with getting poison cured at the first town.

The distance you can scroll away from the player character is actually limited, which restores the feeling of exploration that was kinda missing in my modern rerelease copy

Incident 2: I proactively destroyed a raider camp, which I think bugged a quest that was *about* to trigger where I rescue the mayor's daughter from them. I came back to town and the mayor started attacking on sight

While the game is pretty fun, after the first few hours I just had a wiki open at all times. Before that I kept hitting frustrating moments where I accidentally missed the criteria for completing a quest or else somehow glitched it by doing something unanticipated
