Do you ever wish you were a lovely river fish with a face like a shovel just eating everything smaller than you and no upper limit on how big you could grow?

The water is muddy and murky but you have whiskers and you can feel the other fish in the water.

Someday you dream of eating a man in one of those "fish fear me" hats, if he'd just wade in deep enough for once.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is only the third object we've ever seen passing through our solar system from elsewhere in the galaxy. 3I/ATLAS doesn't pose a threat to Earth, and the closest it'll get to our home planet (on Dec. 19) is about 170 million miles—nearly twice the distance between Earth and the Sun.

This image of 3I/ATLAS was taken by our Hubble Space Telescope on Nov. 30, when the comet was about 178 million miles from Earth.



Image Description
An image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope showing the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. The comet is a small white dot in the center of the image, with a light blue halo of light that takes up most of the image. Other stars are shown streaking across the image as diagonal blue-white lines. Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI, D. Jewitt (UCLA), M.-T. Hui (Shanghai Astronomical Observatory). Image Processing: J. DePasquale (STScI)

Do you find yourself personally struggling not to use unwarranted intensifiers more than you did in the past (however you define that)?

(e.g. "very", "incredibly", "absolutely")

A new Loops app release has been submitted to the App Store for public release, and it's coming to TestFlight and an APK later this weekend!

It's feature packed with several improvements, and this will be the last update until next year while I focus on Pixelfed.

Enjoy and happy holidays ❤️

I wonder if you could use/abuse Mastodon polls (FEP-9967) to distribute posts that provide near-real-time status updates (I'm thinking about severe weather alerts but I'm sure there are other use cases)?

Create a poll with an expiry far in the future and a token set of options (ideally just one—"Do you opt in?"—but poll implementations seem to require at least two).

Nothing seems to prevent the content of a poll from changing—and this is the key insight. The FEP says, "The type of a poll (single choice / multiple choices) and its options might be changed at any time. In that case the author of the poll MUST reset the vote counts." So broadcast updates via the content.

It would be a lightweight way to follow a single item without following the actor, built on top of implementations that already exist.

depth is kinda the forgotten dimension when buying rack-mounted computer equipment. if you're sticking it in a data center it's probably not going to limit you, but if you're like us and have a rack in your home, it's going to be the most significant constraint on what hardware you can use.
