Despite closed windows during the day and constantly blocking the light with exterior shutters the Vienna apartment lost its fight to stay below 28C. It's currently 38C outside, even the best insulation can't keep up forever. "😐" indeed
Are those in power allying with climate denialism because they know -or are they just not aware of- the next stage of grief? What do they expect to happen when hundreds of kids and "the elderly" (people over 40) die each summer? Heat death is already higher than car accidents. This won't be pretty.
1. Fuuuck 🥵 2. Since the night a power outage is bouncing in the city, knocking out new areas each time it's fixed. Awesome, unstable network! 3. The city offers 34 "cool zones", ie public rooms with AC. 34. For a population of ~2M. And of those 34, 30 are closed on weekends. 🤡🤡🤡
Question for the more football-interested people: Is this one quieter than other world cups, or do we have one a CoD Boycott moment? re it happening in a dictatorship country that just jailed people to 100 year sentences for handing out zines
Over here we're already at Christmas! (The chocolate's best before date is in September, they must be clearing out the warehouse.)
Fuuuck. I can't imagine how devastating this must be. More noise for bandcamp, I guess, or is that contaminated by now as well? (Also, not sure if your posts page is visible to subscribers?)
Ah, the classic concept stage of "drawing a single version of a character till it's fully rendered". This encapsulates why people believe these garbage tools provide value to devs. "I can only approve the character if I see them fully rendered!" You're the reason games take 10 years, please leave.
If you quickly google a common phrase you and others frequently spell incorrectly, Google AI Overview now believes it should take over. We're, like, three bad update away from people googling "Jesus take the wheel" and AI posting their social security number in response.
Austria mentioned! Given the New Zealand connection one would think the Austr- with kangaroos, but no, it's a Nazi topic, so ofc it's the Central European country instead! (Personally I think it's disgusting that this mf'er is allowed to do... anything, really.)
Governments around the globe right now: Why do all my constituents think I am an absolute idiot (OR feverishly support me while foaming at their mouth)? This would all be avoidable if people in power weren't greedy, or excessive greed was punished accordingly.
Surprising no one. The "moderately pro-liberty" comes from a question that could be read as "we're allowed to infiltrate and set up immigrant groups for terrorism charges" just the same as "gun nut who threatened to kill his wife hasn't killed her yet, should we even be able to arrest him".
Packing for @amazefest.bsky.social? Bring a coat and sweater, but also sunglasses, but also maybe an umbrella. Especially nights get cold outside. Don't expect to buy anything on Thursday, all shops will be closed (except restaurants and the few emergency stores across the city).
That's a really nifty trick and I think it's cool and good to know, but also, this person's face is melting into their helmet like they're the gas mask people from that great Doctor Who episode. Still, AI might improve its soldierlike images that aren't LEGO, but math? Haha. Good luck, Magic 8 Ball.
New bat! How many bats till I finally start contemplating not just wearing long trousers? Only one way to find out.
Yay, Bsky kann's ja doch! Danke. Wien Strom hat's auch endlich aktualisiert, jetzt weiß ich immerhin wo man hin kann zum Mittagessen. (Dieser 38jährige versteht die Teenies, EIN GANZES WOCHENENDE OHNE STROM! 😭)
Oh wow, that would be the FUNNIEST. My most viral post ever was a call to action to block Attie - if block that bot's the reason we're all blocked by Bsky tech now? Yes, ha ha ha, YES!
Meanwhile me, nuking entire subcultures from my timeline. But hey, means I can tell you: a lot of lists are better than that! Because I subscribe to what I'll call "an unhealthy number" and one-off stuff like that doesn't trip them apparently! (clearsky.app/elbi/blockin...)
BAFTAs are a thing etc etc, but also, this dress? Impossible to wear I assume, but going borg/nvidia dystopia certainly looks great.
