Wolfwerend hek werkt niet? Deze cijfers laten vooral een ander probleem zien. Boeren die slachtoffer zijn van de wolf, maken amper gebruik van wolfwerende hekken om hun vee te beschermen.
Bij nog geen 2% van alle wolvenaanvallen die in 2024 in Gelderland plaatsvonden, werden de schapen of geiten beschermd door een goed wolfwerend raster. https://www.bndestem.nl/binnenland/wolfwerend-hek-werkt-niet-deze-cijfers-laten-vooral-een-ander-probleem-zien~a5bd5e06/

we have a reasonable dataset browser... upload process is working... feed generation is working... just need a little more moderation tooling and we are good to start indexing the dispersed dataset purge scrapes. fuck a digital book burning we've got the power of bittorrent and anime on our side.

LGBTQIA+ As we resist those who claim diversity distorts scholarship, let’s run through the acronym & show how easy it is to find the rainbow in every era. We don’t even need to look beyond the Renaissance celebrities that are household names today!

@theresnotime It's a leaky feeder cable: same as the 4G installations on Crossrail and the JLE, increasingly elsewhere on the Tube too.

@theresnotime it's not a single cable, in the middle there is a conversion box between L'Ethernet and The Ethernet

Commissioned https://vgen.co/angelrosestar / https://bsky.app/profile/angelrosestar.bsky.social today to draw a version of my avatar that's not just a rip from game assets - pretty happy with the results, I'm now a slightly less unoriginal cat online.
A++ would recommend paying artists.
#AskFedi: In JSON-LD, can you just specify an array of (type-valid) items anywhere a single item type is defined in the schema, or am I misunderstanding something here?

A friend likes holes in her jeans, but this pair had one too close to the seam that tore out further. She hunted online until she found the perfect patch for the situation, and I got them fixed up this morning.
As usual for repairing jeans, I put denim patching on the inside and stitched it in place, then added the decorative patch.

Hey #solarpunk people from outside of the Global North!
@SolarpunkConference would like to hear your voices on why they should allow you to watch their online #conference without having a credit card compatible with the US payment system!
Do we have anyone from #Ukraine or anywhere in #Africa ? #Brazil ? #India ? #southAmerica ? #southEastAsia ?

Well crap, a chunk just broke off from my root canal tooth. Knew it was going to happen eventually, but this is not exactly the optimal moment for that...
Well, off to the dentist I go tomorrow, I suppose.

If Bluesky is performing in a public square, Mastodon is choosing a queer clubhouse filled with queers and partying so loud that the cishets in the street outside occasionally overhear and get all touristy and interested

If you want to post a selfie from one of the many many many many protests that are happening and going to happen, well that's a choice you can make for yourself.
PLEASE DO NOT POST PHOTOS OF OTHER PEOPLE'S FACES
You may say, "Well they were in public without a face covering so they obviously didn't mind," but I'm telling you the less evidence that any particular person was there, the better. Don't be the reason someone is harassed by image boards, law enforcement or other right-wing militias.

Everyone talks about how the Steam Deck has helped Linux gaming a ton, but I don't see people talk about how it is probably the one thing (alongside the Switch, although most games don't get ported to that) encouraging “modern” games to run even somewhat passably on literally anything but $6000 gaming PCs

Where are all the reverse engineers, compiler devs, and OS devs at!? There must be some people interested in this stuff around these parts...
