YOUR CLAM YEAR IN REVIEW
- There are over ten thousand known species of bivalves and tens of thousands more undescribed. Please do your part and find a few species next year.
- Cultured bivalves alone help remove over 49,000 tons of nitrogen from our waterways every year, along with other pollutants (the contribution of wild bivalves is several times that). They charge us $0 for this service!
- We don't have data on how often you thanked clams, but it wouldn't hurt to do it more next year.

is anyone doing a #fedi bail fund, support service, or something like that, esp for student activists and organizers?

A Man Feeding Swans in the Snow, Poland | Marcin Ryczek

boost this to scare electricians or electrical engineers

We could house everyone. We could feed everyone. We could care for everyone. We could build devices designed to last as long as possible. We could align our manufacturing around the needs of the people and the planet.

We materially have the resources to do so.

That's why leftists are so angry. The resources we need to build a world everyone can thrive in literally already exist. We are just using them mostly to pamper the rich or murder the poor.

The "No Liquids" sign at the airport in Animal Crossing New Horizons implies that Animal Crossing 9/11 happened.

re: software development with LLMs—if you don't know how the code works (as so many vibe coders brag), how do you know it's not subtly enabling racism or sexism? or overtly, for that matter

@hazelnot I've felt this all day. I will still try though.

Hey buddy don't fuck with me I come from a long line of Soviet alarm clock smugglers.

@hazelnot hmm. Not sure I can actually use this. If you installed the gamepad boot-up homebrew that lets you select what to boot into "WiiU Home" or "Wii Menu" or "Homebrew Channel", etc. That menu doesn't show on the TV, and requires something already paired. So I guess to use this I have to factory reset my WiiU (unmod it) and then sync the gamepad, and then remod it, without a Gamepad to actually boot it with...

Doesn't seem that great at saving these from ewaste if they ever had homebrew installed unfortunately. However I might bang my head at it for a while trying to make something work anyways.

On the critical intersection and dialectical synthesis of Dengist and George "Dubya" Bushist thought: an essay.

okay I have text injection. repeatable and automatable.

Also it turns out those special tags, like WAITKEY? only work if you spell them in full-width.
So "<WAITKEY>", not "<WAITKEY>"

:boosts_welcome: hey everyone! I'm looking for an open source controller for smart lightbulbs, the ones we have are stricken with AI bloatware in their app :( they're linkind lights and apparently they're matter compatible, so there should be non-proprietary options out there, but if there are, I haven't found them :/ :boosts_welcome:

@squeakypancakes picture-in-picture mode weeping angels that follow you wherever you go.

@hazelnot this is life changing for me. I lost my Gamepad the last time I moved and I haven't had a way to boot it since it loads a homebrew bootloader select on the Gamepad screen. The actual gamepads keep getting more and more expensive!

@joepie91 @imp3tuz there's always the much more minimal spins of Arch which basically just add a nice graphical installer with GPU driver support, and a very small distro-specific repo for quality of life tools. EndeavourOS is good for that. Things can get overboard with CachyOS, Manjaro, Garuda, etc in my opinion, since they start adding too much and diverging with too many patches from base Arch Linux.

Masks always have been, and are still worth wearing.

COVID is an airborne virus. It spreads through shared air — often from people who don’t yet feel sick or never develop symptoms at all. Masking works because it filters the air we breathe, reducing how much virus we inhale and exhale.
