@tinybird A screenshot, seemingly of a thing posted on the Guardian website at 9:30 BST (7 minutes ago), saying:

Keir Starmer is coming out.

There is loud applause from his staff and supporters.

He looks miserable.

@kemona_halftau does the oom killer actually trigger? for me it almost never does, the system just freezes and I have to invoke it manually (it may be relevant that I have no swap)

I feel like this image might be useful for the non-furries this week.

heat exhaustion = get to a cool place, drink water
heat stroke = get medical attention

@kemona_halftau which encoder are you using? when I tested, libsvtav1 was the fastest by far, followed by libaom, followed by rav1e (ironically, since it claims to be the fastest)

you should also check if your CPU is thermal throttling or stuck at a lower frequency. for some reason, my laptop's CPU sometimes gets stuck at 800MHz and I have to suspend and unsuspend (or reboot) to fix it

Because the place I usually put my fan to raise its height is currently occupied by a server that's too heavy to easily move, I precariously balanced it with only one leg actually on something and the rest floating in the air (it has four horizontal legs in a + shape). It worked, but fell over as soon as I turned it off. Apparently it was being held up by its own propulsion.

re: yesterday's shower thoughts (english and pronouns)

@kemona_halftau yes! lojban has this. instead of having third-person pronouns assigned based on arbitrary categories (gender, quantity) like english, it has 10 different assignable pronouns (“pro-sumti”), and you can also assign names or letters (in which case the thing being referred to is the most recent one beginning with that letter) in the same way. it also has 5 different “pro-bridi” that can be assigned to entire phrases.

I think this is a much better way of doing things than english’s assignment of pronouns based on arbitrary categorisation, which results in ambiguity if more than one thing is referred to with the same pronoun in the same sentence.
