@roopagulati any wisdom to impart about what the funny floppy wire things on the top of my toaster are? I have never been able to figure out what they’re supposed to do.

@tommorris strengthening het marriage, and dismantling right wing world views.

@thatEmil Taproot works almost the other way round — a “mentions” module stores incoming mentions, noting their target path after resolving redirects. Then, each content module queries the mentions module for mentions of a particular URL. That way the two are decoupled, and I can keep track of mentions of static URLs and things not represented by a “model”. Haven’t figured out how to handle redirects well yet though.

@Hurdy_Rique greetings! I’m good thanks, haven’t made any gurdies for two years whilst living in Iceland, but I’m moving to Germany in July to start a workshop there. How are you getting on with your new Hilsmann?

@deray looking forward to reading it! Any way we can support your work? E.g. Patreon?

@vicenteparrilla nice! I’ve found German and Austrian museums to be some of the best for old instruments. The Deutsches Museum Munich, Technisches Museum Vienna and Vienna museum of ancient instruments are really worth checking out.

@w03_ wow such pizza — not like the peel wasn’t completely broken already :)

@goat_emoji_ this may be relevant to your interests (2nd half): http://www.radiolab.org/story/122613-mirror-mirror/

@rhiaro go for it! I did that last summer, it’s inexpensive and loads of fun.

Ha ha, thanks :) The latest versions of Hugin actually make things really easy — I used to be a purist and set all the control points manually, but that automatic cpfind function now works pretty well. Modern phones with panorama features take some of the novelty out of manual stitching, but you can still get much better results this way!

@benwerd thanks! Been making these for years using Hugin and the GIMP to do a polar coordinates transform on a 360° panorama.

@john_nye spores, soup and pizza, obv

@ztsamudzi might one factor be that PoC are more likely to be harmed by any police attention directed towards such movements/occupations?

@csarven ha ha, that really triggered my metaphor extrapolation addiction — I immediately thought “so PDFs go bad quickly, but… help to ripen other formats left nearby?”

@tungufoss cool! Anywhere I can find it to watch/listen online?

For example, I’d love to read something like Terry Bisson’s Meat, but where the narrators are repulsed by the fact that humans have to traverse 3D space, most often between artifically constructed bounded areas, in order to achieve their goals.

@evanpro in British English you can develop an idea, develop land, develop a technique or product, and now I’ve developed semantic satiation from thinking about the word “develop” too much :)

@briansuda if these are the ones I think they are, props to Analog for handling them in such a human way

@gregorlove ha ha cool, thanks :)
