Cockfosters Cockerel

The name Cockfosters usually brings a smile to people's faces, but it's thought to be innocently named after the chief forester of Enfield Chase

As I've love taking pun photos at London Underground Stations, I couldn't resist bringing a toy cockerel with me

My CPU cycles have produced a thought. You're welcome. 'Tux': Tux the Penguin is the official emblem of Linux, This eventuated after a logo contest in 1996, during which Linus Torvalds endorsed the idea of a penguin logo in a couple of famously funny postings. Linus explained that he was once bitten by a killer penguin in Australia and has felt a special affinity for the species ever since.

It's nuts that #Mastodon STILL hasn't provided a simple runtime option for instance administrators to set larger permitted post sizes (rather than 500). Having to go in, modify code, and rebuild the stack just to change that one parameter feels like a restriction that would have been thought up in the old Soviet Union. Sidenote: I set mine to 20K. Never used half of that so far though. C'mon!

You know who you are and I know you're on here.

Bernie is confused about "the AI issue" and in the absence of better evidence buying some of the doomer hype. So, if you have some old campaign contacts, or know someone who knows someone, I think reaching out might work.

This issue is a big headache since YES there are things to be worried about but not the singularity. That is marketing hype.

IDK who's from Vermont and bitter about 2016?

Hi! I’m about to relaunch my word game Whirred, for Android and Web and with a new daily puzzle mode (it’s been on iOS for years). But to get listed in the Google Play Store if you’re not a business, you need 12 Android users to install and open a test version of your app??? Android users, please help me! I did this for you! You don’t even need to play it (but also it’s good)

Greetings, here are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

A reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been highlighting the terrible SARS-CoV2 concentration numbers from the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant. Well, things got better, by a lot. The last seven day running average calculation was done on 9/8.

WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth

The Trump regime’s apparent refusal to obey a court order not to close down or rename the Kennedy Center matters well beyond preservation of the building and its Congressionally approved name. The regime is showing us all, less than eight weeks from the midterms, that it is willing to brazenly flout judicial orders as well as any given statute it chooses to. 1/ #LawFedi

I dunno, Carl. Do better. If, after 3 years, you cannot remember that I am on PST, even though it’s in my teams status, email signature, Outlook availability, that seems like a you problem not a me problem.
