Greetings Mastodon friends

My team has started "managed data services" for non-technical companies. I.e, we deploy our Very Nerdy People to protect people from vendors and set up a sane, affordable data practice

If anyone knows a non-technical person that is running a company that might want this, I would very much appreciate being put in touch

We spread the holy word of open source and have managed to get costs below $10K per month for Real Engineering

Sorry for talking about b2b sales 💀

“Modern hunting bows generally feature pullback weights around 40-60lbs. And that should make sense: deer cannot shoot back and do not generally wear armor. The military archer, by contrast, needs a lot of lethality and a lot of range because he is shooting at someone with armor and weapons who means to shoot back.

As a result, the pullback weights of war bows tend to be higher. How much higher? At least in Afroeurasia, 80lbs pullback is about as light as a war bow will usually get. Draw weights anywhere from 100lbs to as high as 170lbs are known for bows like the English longbow and Steppe recurve bows.“

I don’t just mean this as a flippant remark. I’m deadly serious. If whipping up a fake war keeps Epstein off the front page, they’re going to keep doing it. Our best hope for preventing a war is to make it not work as political cover for them.

Writing about why the existence of Bounce is so personal for me, and it's been tough to relive memories of the communities I've lost.

The web is a beautiful place, but it's always at risk of being stolen from us. I feel so fortunate to be a part of a coalition of builders + users fighting for it.

Obscure game question for you: have you ever played a PC game called "Watchy"? Even better, do you have a copy? It was sold in boxes that look like this.

The reason I'm wondering is because every online game catalogue tells you "Watchy" is an alternate title for another game by the same company. But I don't... think that's true, based on the boxes and the company website. I just don't have a copy of a game or demo to prove it.

Edit: Mystery solved! Check the replies.

On my way back from the high school reunion. Not sure if I ever shared this story here (probably on Twitter), but when I was 16 I sent a photocopied letter to a bunch of people (~25 kids, 1 teacher) to tell them I was (am) gay. Well… today I talked to that teacher briefly in passing. I said “Ananja, you were my favourite teacher!”, not expecting her to remember me at all. But she saw my name and immediately said: “oh, Anneke, I still have that letter from you at home” 🥹😭 that feels good :)
