My cat has 100% subject mastery of the word "no" but seemingly does not know the word "yes." This is the knowledge asymmetry of someone who has never sought permission to do something in their entire life.

@georgrestle.bsky.social Wir haben es mit zwei einander diametral entgegengesetzten Freiheitsbegriffen zu tun. Was wir mit Freiheit meinen, ist die Freiheit der Schwachen von Angst und Zwang, was sie meinen, ist die Freiheit der Starken von Grenzen und Konsequenzen.

Important Christmas reminder: download all the manuals from all the devices your family got this year and store them in a folder. Thank me in half a year if you need them 😉
#grownup hack: every time you buy a new hardware thing, search for pdf version of the manual. Store it on your disk with a filename that you can easily search for.

Next time you have a problem with that thing, you won’t need to search for that small paper printout in font size 4 😅.

I followed @carmensandiego and I kept thinking some of the henchmen in "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" had great names... so... I went off to find my copy that ran on MacOS 6.0.7 or higher and it still had the booklet! (Though not the World Almanac.)

My first reasonably viral toot, and somebody reported me, lol.

Do you not realise the pointlessness of that action for a single user instance?

Also... there's nothing to report? Except you're a bigot, obviously.

It's been interesting putting up a high-impact (hopefully no pun there) paper and getting lots of feedback! One (highly respected!) scientist graciously showed us a small error in our calculation, which we have fixed. It's like crowd-sourced peer-review. Interesting.

So, with that fix, the […]

The man in the record shop said he was so ill, he didn't know when he would be opening after Christmas.
