The difference is you don’t ride a motorcycle to get somewhere. You ride a motorcycle to be on the #motorcycle
Bar chart titled “Motorcycles are the deadliest.” It shows passenger deaths per 1 billion passenger miles from 2000 to 2009. Motorcycles have the highest fatality rate at 212.57 deaths, followed by cars (7.28), ferries (3.17), trains (0.43), subways (0.24), buses (0.11), and planes (0.07).

The reason is the increasing effect of compound interest on wealth redistribution from working class to the rich & super-rich

→ increasing rent in cities
→ raising the prices of labor and goods

by more than the actual value-creation of society

Main post by Econo ad absurdam (@econoadabsurdam): "Does she even want to try to figure out whether alcohol excise is six bucks out of that eleven or not What if it's something else, like rent, staff costs, licensing rules and venue regulations" Quoted post by Dr Monique Ryan MP (@Mon4Kooyong) from Nov 2: "This week I'll move an amendment to freeze beer excise indexation. A schooner shouldn't cost $11 in Melbourne when it's $5 in Tokyo. The amendment will help consumers and back in the 300+ Australian breweries who are doing it tough against Kirin, Asahi, and their outlets." Image description: A photograph taken inside a craft brewery or bar showing two people smiling at the camera. A man with dark hair and beard wearing a gray t-shirt holds up a glass of beer, standing next to a woman with curly dark hair wearing a black "Dave Graney" t-shirt. Behind them are wooden shelves displaying various bottles of spirits, beer taps, hanging glasses, and brewery equipment. The setting has a warm, rustic aesthetic with wooden walls and professional bar fixtures.

Coming soon to #flohmarkt: FediAuth for any kind of #activitypub users. Simply send a DM to a flohmarkt instance you want to login to, and you will be able to create a user and upload small/classified ads.
A dark-themed webpage titled “Authenticate on Mastodon.” At the top, in orange text, it says “Development mode active.” Below that, a large gray box displays “Your authentication PIN:” followed by a bold, centered four-digit PIN “7626.” A small line of text underneath reads “Expires in: 9m 42s.” Beneath the PIN, there is an orange dashed box labeled “DEBUG MODE: Share message:” showing the text “FediAuth login PIN: 7626 for Fluffy’s flohmarkt on example.org.” Under that, there is a gray expandable button labeled “(Debug) All Platform Share URLs (16 platforms).” Next, a line with an orange rocket emoji and link text “Open Pre-filled DM (mastodon)” appears, followed by a small instruction: “Make sure only the recipient can see this message.” Below it, there is a circular loading animation with the text “Waiting for your message...” The bottom section, in a gray box, is titled “How to complete authentication:” in bold white text. It lists four steps: Click the button above to open a pre-filled compose window. Set visibility so only @auth@example.org

Screenshot of a tweet from Guillermo Rauch (@rauchg) with a verified checkmark and flags of the United States, Israel, and Argentina in his bio. The tweet reads: 'Enjoyed my discussion with PM Netanyahu on how AI education and literacy will keep our free societies ahead. We spoke about AI empowering everyone to build software and the importance of ensuring it serves quality and progress. Optimistic for peace, safety, and greatness for Israel and its neighbors.' The tweet includes a photo showing him with Netanyahu in business attire smiling at the camera in what appears to be an indoor setting, with other people visible in the background.

The tweet continues: 'Tech is finally growing a spine against political purges. But these are defensive wins. Playing defense isn't enough. We need OFFENSE and we need it now. 1/4' The tweet includes a quoted tweet from Sridhar Ratnakumar (@sridca) from Sep 29 stating 'Nix users have had enough.

In my side-project I send the element within the first ~10ms, meaning the browser can start fetching more resources immediately (it also fits the first TCP packet).

Is this a common thing to do? If not, why not?

> where do I buy that? houseplants ● For houseplant fertilizer (Dünger), you can find it at: Garden/Hardware stores: - Bauhaus, OBI, Hornbach (big selection) - Local Gartencenter Supermarkets/Drugstores: - Most supermarkets have a small garden section - dm, Rossmann usually carry basic plant fertilizers Online: - Amazon, eBay for convenience For houseplants, look for "Zimmerpflanzendünger" - usually comes as liquid concentrate you dilute, or slow-release granules. The liquid ones are popular and easy to use. You could probably grab it when you're out getting the BRITA filters and dishwashing powder!

It’s a pretty cool workflow!
I generated a quickstart section which includes a flake that pre-imports the #netencode python library, pretty cool:
A call to `nix run --refresh github:Profpatsch/netencode#python` that starts an ipython repl which says “🐍 Python REPL with netencode pre-imported as 'ne' Try: ne.text('hello'), ne.record([('key', ne.text('value'))]) and then some example code from the README quickstart section

Claude update: I told it to write outstanding things to fix to a `.NOTES` file, and it has picked up on it and has started integrating it into its coding strategy:

#claude #llm #agents
However, the user's suggestion is great - we could add a specific app or development shell for Python that: 1. Includes ipython for a better REPL experience 2. Has netencode pre-configured and importable 3. Is easily accessible via something like nix run .#python or nix develop .#python For now, let me update the README to use the existing development shell which is cleaner than the previous approach, and we can add this as a future improvement to our .NOTES file. ● I see there's already a development shell with Python. Let me update to use that and add a note about improving this:

Pointing #claude at a man/ docs directory and asking it to find consistency issues:
Additional Issues Found: 1. Inconsistent Mustache Data Mapping Documentation In netencode-mustache.1.scd, the documentation states: - Line 65: "Tagged values - Currently not supported (will cause error)" - Line 67: "Binary data - Currently not supported (will cause error)" However, the actual implementation in netencode-mustache.rs: - Tagged values: Supports boolean tags (true/false) but not other tagged values - Binary data: Uses unimplemented!() which panics, not just an error The documentation should be more specific about boolean support. 2. Missing SEE ALSO Cross-References Several man pages don't cross-reference each other appropriately: - netencode-record-get.1.scd doesn't mention netencode-filter or netencode-mustache - netencode-to-env.1.scd doesn't mention netencode-filter or netencode-mustache - Some tools that work well together aren't cross-referenced 3. Inconsistent Boolean Documentation The format for booleans is documented consistently, but the description of how they're handled in different tools varies slightly. 4. env-to-netencode Implementation Detail In env-to-netencode.1.scd line 61, the example shows record-get which we fixed, but I noticed there's still a reference issue in some of the descriptions.
