#WorldBeeDay #bees #insects

After recapping a dead Macintosh SE/30 at the #HomeComputerMuseum, we switched it on to see if our work had made any improvements. We were greeted with this startup screen.

It's #WorldBeeDay! I love bees, especially bumble bees. I worked for a beekeeper for one full year, so I got to do every seasonal activity of beekeeping. Each time I witnessed bees emerging from the hive, I cheered them on: "Go bees, go!"
Yes, I am a nerd for nature.

Stop using pesticides and rip out that environmental abomination you call a lawn. This photo of a Vosnesensky Bumble bee is from my lawn-free yard.

Folks running GoToSocial on single-board computers: how's it going? How's performance been? Any issues? Are you running with a connected USB hard drive, or just with on-board storage? Curious to hear about it

If you use KeePass 2.x (NOT KeePassXC or KeePass 1.x) then your master password has been leaked into your RAM in cleartext - the fix won't be released until June, but you can get an unstable experimental build with a fix right now, or you can uninstall keepass and move to KeePassXC: https://www.pcworld.com/article/1923963/an-exploit-can-reveal-your-keepass-master-password-in-plaintext.html

Like, regl is *really* cool, and it would allow so many novel experimental things if more people knew of its existence and wrote tutorials about it

I wish regl would get some more love, rather than everybody's focus on three.js (which has a pretty questionable architecture and is really difficult to extend for experimental stuff)

But bringing a bunch of streaming media on an external HDD and having Jellyfin was the right call 100%. Why stream when I can just bring all my media on little box? This is what they want to take from us.

I've launched the accessible numbers project! 🎉

https://accessiblenumbers.com

How to design services for people who need help with numbers.

It's been stressful and I almost gave up. And while the site isn't perfect, I think it's in a good place.

I hope it's useful to many.

Organizing all your digital stuff into folders is the natural way of things and helpful for you and others so you can more easily raccoon through your old stuff to find the good stuff. Most-recent-first-style mixing it all up in a bucket with the eggs on top is just conceding to novelty-focused constant-production-and-consumption capitalist propaganda

"Much of the problem arises not from an inherent desire among researchers to maximize their publication count, but from the conditions that are set by [those that] determine what gets funded and who gets tenure [...] overemphasis on the size of an individual's [...] publication record as a means of quantifying their research output inevitably rewards quantity over quality."
