went on another walk with my IR camera from my previous thread. Even managed to catch a few rays of sunlight in between the otherwise grey week.

It continuous to be a lot of fun and I slowly get the hang of focusing correctly! There are some image artifacts and out-of-focus regions at times, but that is okay with this 2011 camera.. :D

The resulting photos also just keep blowing my mind, this is sooo good! Also there are some interesting observations, the concrete in the third photo does not reflect much, if any IR, while the foliage does. This is also something you can feel in the summer, while streets are incredibly hot, trees and grass usually are pretty chill as they do not absorb a lot of IR!

Thanks for the helpful auto-complete, Gmail.

Gender segregation in public toilets and changing rooms is a weak and cisheteronormative substitute for well-designed stalls with actual privacy.

I had a dream that Mozilla were bullied into including a toggle in Firefox that disables all the corpo bullshit (so no tracking, ads, AI, etc.) but they were really pissy about it so they called it "communism mode" and you had to click on a little Karl Marx to activate it

also yes, i am using "attention all units" as a replacement for "ladies and gentlemen"

✅ it sounds funny
✅ it attracts attention much better than some boring ass phrase from centuries ago
✅ not only it includes enbies and agenders, it also includes robots
✅ it makes you feel like you're in some action film

I have another exam tomorrow morning and I've hardly prepared for it at all

... and a deadline for a project that I've had a year to do and hardly even started

I'm going to start using the words "deplane" and "enplane"

why is librewolf's expired certificate page showing me dates in that weird middle endian mm/dd/yyyy format instead of something sensible like yyyy/mm/dd or even dd/mm/yyyy?

As someone who has been programming since being a young teenager, things like this make me enormously sad.

If I was banned from being part of tech communities until the age of 16 or even 18 I would've never been able to learn all I did. I would've never been able to truly get into FOSS.

I would've never had a chance to become who I now am.

Age verification is literally killing the ability for kids and teens to excitedly participate and learn cool stuff and learn how to have digital agency.

good morning

why does fennec/firefox android report gyroscope data without asking? websites have no good reason to know this

Living on the East Coast means my radio-controlled atomic wall clock is completely deaf to the atomic (WWVB) signal from Colorado. In the attached video, I am using my smartphone to force the clock to sync to exact Internet time via a clever hardware hack. 1/4

good night!
