Related, there is a donation group for Mastodon for Harris. I imagine a great way to show there is interest in her making an account is to see fundraising coming from the user base. It's at ~114k at the time I wrote this: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris
Damn and here I thought my 13200Ah phone I charge once a week was big. I wish more phones went down the route of massive batteries, it's so much better than being thin and barely lasting a day of normal use.
There was a strategy to it! Instead of dropping coin down every last blade, little kid me aligned the machine a particular way so the coin would drop all the way down to the second to last blade. Then I would nudge the coin to the edge, then twist and suddenly stop to give it enough force to not just fall straight down, but also not enough to fling it past the final blade. I'd say I won around half the time, and intentionally only did it once every so often to not arise suspicion you could game it well. I was sad when my 25 cent burritos were taken away for good after this machine left, ah well.
From those screenshots it does look quite nice! Visible ratings while scrolling albums is huge for me and I miss it. I migrated everything over to Strawberry from MusicBee this year because I only want FOSS, and Tauon appears to be GPL licenced! Strawberry absolutely works, but it still feels more like a settle. Gotta give this a try and see how it feels, thanks for the info!
Glad I saw this post today, downloaded and love it straight away! So clean and exactly what I wanted out of a FOSS weather app.
With all that food for thought, your son might be full before getting to the food court!
Leap day people have to wait four, the poor souls.
Now that winter is starting up where I am, I wanna show my favorite image I took over the summer. I caught a butterfly on some leaves, and was able to get suprisingly close for this picture! You can even see the little hairs that transition from the wings to the body. I never really think of a butterfly as having any sort of fluff, but I suppose they do...at least a little!
Though if decentralization were to be hidden, it'd be a good idea to cycle through lots of well established general instances for user signups under the hood. The vast majority of people are just going to choose the default options, and if it's all going to funnel into mastodon.social, that's a lot of centralization of users. Ideally no single server lords over all the others in terms of user count, because that gives them lots of power other instances may feel compelled to abide by. Having power spread out across many different people helps keep things in check, at the very least making large or drastic decisions more of a round table affair.
Sorry doc, I had to make a stop at the cemetary. Everyone's dying to get in there you know!
I noticed a quite lovely funnel web yesterday morning! The maker was hiding of course, so I figured I'd lightly tap the web's edge with a piece of straw. That absolutely did the trick, and I was impressed with this little spider's speed with checking out the tiny disturbance! They explored the web for a couple minutes, and I tried to take some pictures to show off both the web and it's owner. I liked this one the most, so I'm sharing it with you all!
I've bean waiting such a long time...
Saw this little one when I was out at a store, looks like goldenrod soldier beetle! Their coloration really stood out amongst the gray carts, so I was quickly drawn to them, and tried taking some close-up images!
I took this a little while back with a macro lens I had on my old phone. I was amazed at just how close I got, there are lots of very visible features here that I'd entirely overlook seeing a grasshopper minding themselves out in the world. I'm appreciative they stood still long enough to take the picture, as you might imagine even some tiny movement would've made this a blurry mess.
A spider I happened to notice a while back while out and about. Its markings and size caught my eye, as it was very different from the spiders I typically see around here. I doubt they are rare, but it was new to me and I wanted to get a close up picture. It might not look particularly close, but it's a phone camera with no optical zoom. I was only a couple of inches from the subject and didn't want to disturb them.
