they saw a huge sign that says "OY CUNTS, I'M A FUCKEN PLANET"

YouTube thumbnail that has two images of (I guess?) Pluto with TV-style heading "BREAKING NEWS NASA IN PANIC!" and the caption "James Webb Just Saw Something Impossible On Pluto — Scientists Are Stunned"

The rest of my order arrived. MOOOAAAAARRR!!!! Is it weird that I most wanted the termcap/terminfo and curses books? @robpike.io I read somewhere, long ago, that there were two SR Bournes at Bell Labs, possibly in the same building... is that true?

Four books. The O'Reilly titles "Termcap & Terminfo" and "Programming with curses", plus PJ Plauger's "The Standard C Library" and S.R. Bourne's "The Unix System".

I have been allowed to administer a pretty great good brushing to the dark cloud with teeth. More progress! She is looking very shiny #cats

Shiny dark brown cat hair along Smoke’s back

Mine too! That engine is a gem (If the wheels look odd, it’s because they’re both 17”. I still have the original wheels somewhere)

My first Hexsweeper clearance! Definitely doing more of this. Probably on iPad though. It’s a bit small on phone lukesteuber.com/games/hexswe...

Is there no measurement that overconfident men on the internet will not inflate No inch I ever heard of is 25.7mm

Man responding to woman in chat who asked what 6.5mm is in USA weird units. Man responded that there are 25.7 mm to an inch

Charging 🔋 🔋 #cats

the dark cloud with teeth has chilled out SO MUCH in the ~10 months since I adopted her. she's hilarious now, bless her 💛🖤 #cats

Smoke, a very dark brown medium hair cat with startling green eyes, lying on her back on an IKEA POÄNG armchair, all four paws sticking up in the air. Her head is turned toward the camera with eyes wide open

@transitenjoyer.bsky.social oh hi there fellow transit enjoyer. Pls enjoy a door sticker from Sydney light rail:

A sticker on the inside of a Sydney light rail door. It’s forbidding trying to force the doors open with your hands. Regrettably, neither hand is wearing a wedding ring.

yorak hunt's thumbnail game is strong 👏🤣

partial screengrab of youtube thumbnail for Yorak Hunt's video entitled "Australia's Impact On Formula 1". The thumbnail features Mark Webber leaning back, eyes closed and spraying champagne, but the camera angle makes it look like it's coming from his groin area

Earlier today. 30 minutes after my cleaner left my apartment. Douglas Adams speculated about spacecraft powered by bad news. Perhaps mine will be powered by cat floof. It seems to be an infinite resource.

worst for me was my KTM 990SMR. Conceptually brilliant (motard dialed up to 11!) but a solid granite g-string for a seat and an wildly inadequate cooling system made it unusable in both city AND extra-urban riding Every time I see an HP2 Megamoto I regret not buying one when they were new 😭

KTM 990 SMR motorcycle. It visibly needs a bath.

… you can still play them! New Witcher 3 expansion soonish too I’m still enjoying Cyberpunk 2077 after 1300+ hours

Someone just found and fixed a 35 year old bug in the BSD ‘reboot’ command

Keith Bostic introduced the bug on 28 Oct 1991
(@#) reboot.c
5.12 (Berkeley) 10/28/91) and
amplified it two days later (@(#)reboot.c 5.13 (Berkeley) 10/30/91), and everybody who touched the code since then just perpetuated it.

Quite like this. Moody. My cat Willie spends a lot of time sleeping on that folded blanket at the window.

A moody view of a fairly dark room near dusk, looking toward a window that is mostly covered by closed curtains, but with a gap opened in the middle for sun to shine (at other times of day) on a folded blanket where my cat Willie likes to sleep.

Don’t think for a single millisecond that similar shenanigans aren’t happening in real life at Neuralink #cyberpunk2077

Screenshot from Cyberpunk 2077 mission. The text says:
“Note to self: The team is ready to present new versions of the deltaid musculoskeletal implant. Prototypes have been printed and testing will proceed soon. The problem, as usual, is the budget. If Cytech prioritizes a competitive market price, we'll likely have to nix the models with integrated neural safeguards. It's possible we'll also have to use an older version of our programming drivers. Once again, my plan for an additional coupling socket has been ignored by the higher-ups:
"face the facts, Rihanna, we have to cut costs." I'm not gonna let this stop me again. I build a prototype, run a few sims, and if 1 get it even close to the budget cutoff they'll have to at least consider it”

Both #cats on my desk for the first time! Admittedly they were inadvertently lured by a trail cam video

Willie, a white/tabby cat, and Smoke, a dark brown medium hair cat, sitting in front of me on my desk, fixated upon a guitar-building video

Dark cloud with teeth, significantly floofed in the sun. There’s really m very much actual cat inside the cloud #cats

Smoke, a very dark brown medium hair cat, sitting upright in a sunny spot with her head in the shade. Her hair is floofed out, making her look much bigger than she really is

🧵 Cautiously optimistic at this stage... but I think I may have finally found a motorcycle helmet that actually fits properly. This has been a *huge* problem for me for several years now as I have an extremely inconveniently-sized *and shaped* head. #motosky

This is easily the most “I’m going to hate this aren’t I” CACM cover I’ve seen yet And I have a couple of years worth of “CACM platforming the AI bros” issues on the shelf

Communications of the ACM magazine issue still in plastic wrap. The cover story headline is “we must teach computer science in prison”

A (mostly) gentle boi, Willie is #cats

Lunch.

A glass container with pumpkin/sweet potato/carrot/ginger/chilli soup in it. With added green peas, a splash of Greek yoghurt and some black pepper. And a spoon.

Please hurry up and materially change the relationship, then. Stop the tiptoe-ing about and the petty wordplay and actually change it, Penny Wong. … or forever be remembered as a pissweak coward, like Albo already, irrevocably is. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
