I've heard time and time again that it's useful to pee while scuba diving to warm your suit, but the second I actually suggest it I'm told "that's a bad idea" and "you have to be underwater first"

I'm looking forward to #FOSDEM. We're bringing some easy to carry merch, loads of stickers, and even leaflets I designed. Definitely come by Mastodon's stand if you're there ☺️ We're going to be in building F this time.
"AI and facial recognition to be rolled out as Britain’s ‘broken’ policing system faces sweeping reforms"
Last minute #FOSDEM tips for newbies:
- wear layers
- use a scarf and gloves
- assume the onsite ATM is empty when you need it**
- be your usual open and friendly self
- be excellent to each other
Looking forward to seeing everyone again. It is home, away from home, with like minded and brilliant people.
I'll be around, just look for the "SWAT" name tag and start a conversation :-)
2026-01-27 update: **the onsite ATM went the way of the dinosaurs (e.g. it is gone)
Don't worry, I've got you
Rest in Peace, Alex.
Beautiful street art tribute by Topsy (topsy_paints on Instagram) in Seattle, U.S.
This powerful piece by Topsy is located right outside the Swedish Medical Center (First Hill Campus) in Seattle, Washington. You can see the hospital's distinctive blue and white cross logo on the building in the background!

Golden Toad aka Monte Verde Toad (Incilius periglenes), family Bufonidae, was found in the Monteverde Cloud Forest region of northern #CostaRica
Poisonous.
EXTINCT.
The last documented sighting of this frog was in 1989. It is not clear why they went extinct.
The 2 major hypotheses for the cause of their decline and extinction are 1. Climate Change and 2. Chytrid fungus.

There is an AI code review bubble

Listen.
Normally, I'm reasonable. If something's install is curl url | bash, I know that it's not super secure, but neither is adding a random ppa to blindly install you know? I try to give the benefit of the doubt, and always read the install script without piping it directly into bash.
But ClawdBot being an AI agent with full computer access, then immediately being revealed to open ports with no auth needed? Then their official install method being curl url | bash? That shit is poetic.
This has gotta be like christmas for everyone who wags their finger at the curl url | bash install method.

How the Atlas Network is shaping your life, even if you've never heard of it
"There is little that the ordinary man of today learns about events or ideas except through the medium of this class."
"It is the intellectuals in this sense who decide what views and opinions are to reach us, which facts are important enough to be told to us, and in what form and from what angle they are to be presented."

Gaza update

Israeli attacks on Gaza erased generations
Israeli bombardment of Gaza has, in some cases, killed multiple generations of the same family.
Over the last two years, more than 2,700 entire bloodlines have been wiped out and 6,000 families left with just a single survivor, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reported.
Rafah crossing
Worst heatwave in decades sending temperatures close to 50C over south-east Australia
The actual cause of the record high temperatures is what is happening higher in the atmosphere — a stationary high-pressure system has anchored itself a few kilometres above NSW, and since winds blow away from high pressure, its elevated position is forcing air down towards the surface.
A relationship means
you come together
to make each other better.
Support each other.
Build each other.
Believe in each other.
Be their peace,
not their problem.
