Have you done anything recently that you're proud of?
  • Nice work! Sent it to my friend in the area :)

  • What screams "poorly educated"?
  • It's "Kampf" ... I have tried to read a few pages... It's unreadable drivel.

    Fun fact: The book wasn't available in Germany for decades, because upon Hitler's suicide the copyright fell to the State of Bavaria. That recently expired and now you can find some heavily annotated versions.

  • What screams "poorly educated"?
  • it's simply lazy

    So, what does it have to do with poor education?

  • What screams "poorly educated"?
  • Just pointing out that not everybody who can't spell shit is poorly educated.

    Dyslexia, ADHD, having a different native language, ducking autocorrect, ... Lots of reasons.

  • What screams "poorly educated"?
  • Speeding screams impatient 🤷

  • On the intersection of visual and auditory art sits this cat.

    From inbox to comment: this is how
  • When I followed the link for your reply, my comment you replied to was the top comment.

  • Snuggling Lamb Chop
  • When our tabby cat is in the mood he'll be super happy when somebody lifts up a blanket, so he can sleep under it. Sometimes he even diggs himself under ;)

  • Posted comment isn't visible
  • Haha, I was just contemplating if this is worth writing a post for. I think it's a caching thing.... Maybe invalidating the cached post/comment after posting/editing is enough to fix it?

  • From inbox to comment: this is how
  • It's only fixed in the latest on GitHub v 0.0.34-alpha, which is not on the stores yet.

  • /r/Conservative is going to save Reddit
  • I'm wondering would would happen if I posted some of MY memes, but I'm not breaking the picket line for that :p

  • new Beehaw community icons!
  • Love the style!

    Now how do we integrate a hive into the iconography?!? ;)

  • [LIVE THREAD] Donald Trump's arraignment in Miami; his supporters expected to protest outside of courthouse
  • They prevented the Capitol Police from getting sufficient number of people and equipment without permission from Trump and he never gave it, if I remember correctly.

  • Reddit CEO tells employees that subreddit blackout “will pass”
  • The culling of 3rd party apps was the goal from the beginning of this saga.

  • xkcd: Musical Scales
  • You have to know music and math to appreciate this, true.

    If you need an explanation I'd say read the intro for log scale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale

    And then listen to https://youtu.be/4nMUr8Rt2AI

  • Do you listen to any new bands? Or just same as 10 years ago?
  • I'm more focused on new releases by bands I've listened to for a long time. Mostly rock, folk, and pop from the 80s/90s.

    But I also got into EDM a little while ago and added a lot of new and old stuff to my frequent plays.

    I don't want to be the old grumpy guy, but the current pop music is very rarely pleasant for me... Queue the struggle for control when I'm in the car with the kids: We found that Yacht Rock is safe territory for all :p

    Sharing a favorite project I volunteered for: The Bee Garden
  • Yes! As soon as the dandelions are out we put dowels out. The mason bees do their thing, lay new large larvae into the dowels and then we put the dowels into the fridge, because a lot of predators are after them :)

  • GOG Summer Sale 2023 is live with giveaways and game deals
  • Gold is on sale for $2.49 :) I can basically hear the music, even if I haven't even installed it yet!

  • A few quick notes
  • Are you talking about a US 501(c)(3) kind of non-profit?

  • GOG Summer Sale 2023 is live with giveaways and game deals
  • I swiped Siedler II for that price :)

  • Your peeler is vulnerable to around a half thousand critical-level vulnerabilities
  • You wanted to add carrots to your stew, but the dependencies for carrots also pulled in a whole host of other ingredients in case you were making carrot cake with your carrots. Now you can't eat your stew because the flour has expired, and the eggs need a new major version.

  • Sharing a favorite project I volunteered for: The Bee Garden

    Two of my friends wanted to keep bees in an urban environment. After a lot of brainstorming the idea of an educational beehive was born. With the Plexiglas enclosure it is safely possible to come up really close to the hives.

    There were many volunteers, and I was part of the 6 core people who built the structure. This was 10 years ago, and I have learned a lot about bees and even given tours to the garden and hives for elementary school groups. We just had the 10th annual bee fest. It is so rewarding to see a project have this kind of longevity and positive impact in the community. I've met a lot of people through this effort, some have turned into really good friends.

    I'll stop rambling now, but happy to answer questions below :)

    Gboard glide typing predictions don't come true

    I do like glide/swipe typing. But I've noticed recently that the word I'm trying to glide is showing up as the prediction, so I lift my finger, only to find a different* word has been inserted.

    *It's not a completely different word, it is compatible with my glide path, but why predict the correct word, show it to me, and then insert something else?

    Any ideas on how to increase the accuracy? (just happened again: showed accuracy and inserted activity instead)

    Gboard version 13.0.08.528826899-beta-arm64-v8a on Android 14 UPB3.230519.008 Pixel 6a.

    (it's working again, thanks!) Should image upload be working in a comment?

    I tried to paste a screenshot into a comment and also tried to upload a PNG, both provoked an error:

    client.js:2 SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'R', "Request er"... is not valid JSON

    I couldn't figure out a way to get the full error without ...

    This is on MacOS running Chrome OR Safari.

    Edit: thanks for the food, it's working again :)
