Thanks to @pixouls I now know what happened, I think! I mixed some home compost into my potting soil, and in the past I've composted... tomatoes! So most likely these are seeds that survived in the compost all that time.
Which, funnily enough, means that I now have tomato plants as a type of weeds

"the fedi is supposed to be a friendly, welcoming online space, right? But the fact is, it isn't."
Apparently we're supposed to be friendly and welcoming to people who hold far-right, fascist, beliefs, but if they're not friendly and welcoming to us it's fine I guess? 🤷♀️ One rule for me, etc.
(Re. The Fosstodon admin, Kev, table-flipping his way out of the instance: https://kevquirk.com/blog/my-thoughts-on-the-fosstodon-drama . How dare marginalised people ask whether they're safe. So rude of us.)
These are tomato seedlings, right? I'm not missing something? Could they possibly be something else, like a weed?
(I ask because these are showing up in areas that I *definitely* didn't sow tomato seeds in, nor any similar plants...)
@joepie91 what are you building? An industrial PLA composting facility?
Just learned about pretendo today.
Pretendo is a free and open source replacement for Nintendo's servers for both the 3DS and Wii U, allowing online connectivity for all, even after the original servers are discontinued
This is so cute and good!
I spent like, a couple of euros buying these various teas from them while they were on discount, and I don't think I've ever gotten this much disappointment-per-euro before, which I guess is an achievement?
It is also worth noting that none of the self-hosted infrastructure around NixOS ever seems to have this problem

I don't know about the "vast majority of his fan base" claim, but the other points are good ones regardless.
Aww yeah, the Godot game engine 4.5 dev 3 snapshot is out.
For those of you to whom that's just alphabet soup, 4.5 dev 3 integrates AccessKit! This means that the editor UI, and any game UIs made with it, are screen reader accessible out of the box.
I just spun up an instance in a Fedora distrobox. Haven't gotten far, but the intro and project creation dialogs are certainly usable. Though the creation dialog seems to set its content as the label for all fields which is verbose. Filing that issue but still this is an amazing development!
For me, this is the best image symbolizing what Gen AI actually is. A black box, burning the planet, understood best, paradoxically, through technological means.
What you see here is a thermal image of xAI's Datacenter in Memphis, where 33 methane power generators are burning without permission.

Plastic and also crappy, that's awesome!
Right up there with when I learned the "Celestial" in "Celestial Seasonings" tea refers to their extraterrestrial cult and isn't a cute play on their sleepytime tea or something.

Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
