We need PC revolution for biology. Put a box on every table we can tinker with.

I am pretty sure US gov doesn't have my id.

This happened to my mom too. She told me she can't do any more photos because her storage is full. So I checked her android phone a and somehow the cloud backup got activated (we explicitly turned that off!!) and our family photos were uploaded to google cloud..

I hate google so much for doing this.

I am in your comments telling you that federated server is still just someone else's computer.

But there are systems where user is sovereign, defined by their key, not dependent on any masters. One such system is Nostr:

Haha this is neat. If you zoom out and rotate the scene, you can position the ISS to watch it transit in front of the Moon.

Wow.

The video and map position appears to be a bit out of sync.

Was watching flyby over USA and when the map position exited land and went over ocean, it took about a minute for the video to transition from land to ocean.

Probably bc the nasa feed has delay?

FOSS everything or go home. I am not buying into closed VR ecosystem. Not Apple, not Meta, not anything else that is trying to lock me in.

I wanted to say that I use similar project called HashIDs, but I see that HashIDs rebranded to Sqids :)

If I can't self host it and own the data, I am not interested.

Why doesn't Nintento release their games to other platforms? I would love to play Zelda, but I am not going to buy a console just because of one game..

How does patroni can do some self healing after primary db gets down and then up again? Or is manual intervention required? How does it look?

Will third parties be able to create custom keyboards that plug in? I mean something like 36-keebs, e.g. Corne and similar keyboards?
