I really like this analogy... I usually use legs of a stool but that would be a lot of legs.

Looking for artists, brazilians, and specially brazilian artists to follow here! I'm new at the Fediverse and would love to meet more people here! (:

Cadê os artistas br do Fediverso?

Just finished #sewing a pocket square for a black tie formal ... It isn't perfect and my iron smudged some junk on it but I can make sure it is hidden.

I bet I'll be the only one there that made their pocket square. I can take pride in that!

This is a sensationalist piece of work. The contributors are mostly Christian and include people like Quentin Van Meter that support conversion therapy.

A quick cursory glance at the sources like stoptheharmdatabase[.]com with a one time wonderful footnote. Some tinyurls. And other excellent "sources". Oh and one footnote section that repeats the same source many times (AI slop?)

@hazz223 asks:

Been looking at retrofitting my push bike with an electric motor. What I've discovered is that todo this costs almost as much as just buying a new bike... Which is nuts!

£500 for a kit i would install at home, compared to £600 for a bike with it all done professionally + warranty.

Q4. Anyone got any tips or suggestions for e-bike conversions?

(When is it worth it to do a conversion rather than purchase an e-bike?)

I see stickers advertised with a "speed camera" sign, for instance

Q6. Has anyone used them, and observed any objective change in the behaviour of motor vehicle operators around them?

@esnyder asks:

I've been riding a Yuba SpicyCurry long tail e-cargo bike for about 4 years now. I love it, except for how locked down the Bosch electronic system is.

I want to be able to buy spec compliant batteries, chargers, computers, motors from different vendors that all interoperate, and I'd like to know how best to contribute to making that possible.

Q7. Are there existing organized efforts to push for open standards in ebike systems?

Anybody out there having any success with the PineVoice Smart Speaker and Home Assistant?

https://pine64.com/product/pinevoice-smart-speaker/

I have it paired and wakeword detection is working ok. But it sometimes hangs while listening, and nearly always fails to recognize the command.

This was a delight to watch. So quick witted, down to earth, go with the flow, cook by feel ... All around just a great energy about him. If he had a cooking show, it definitely would've been a favorite. Definitely gonna check out his cookbook "Eat Me"

Totally forgot this photo I took of a lynx ages ago, but the grey skies here just made me remember it aha. Sometimes, I miss the northern hemisphere #Wildlife #Lynx #EurasianLynx

A wildlife rehabber I'm connected to brought in a professional photographer and the results are fantastic.

I've never seen such lovely possum portraiture before!

FEMINISM IS FOR EVERYONE

i remember how it was marketed as a “side quest”. her academic publishers wanted everybody to know it was NOT part of her regular work.

she not only avoids academese. she deploys a critique of violence ―as the currency of patriarchy― that was not just under attack by the USA “right”, since the days Erich Fromm defined fascism as a cult(ure) of violence; but by (yuppie scum) white feminism.

it’s her most influential book to date.

@KrissyKat BUT BRAWNDO HAS WHAT PLANTS CRAVE

Hi y'all,

I am a software/hardware/firmware engineering and open-source consultant (though I do more than just open-source). I am seeking new clients!

I help individuals and teams build, debug, modernise, and untangle systems software. My specialties are projects involving Linux, embedded systems, hardware, networking, and open-source infrastructure.

For software engineering, I specialise in Rust, C, C++, Python, and more. I know Linux/Unix internals, IPC, high-performance networking, concurrency, and much more.

For hardware integration, I specialise in Linux-connected devices, hardware interfaces, protocols, IoT, firmware, and the awkward boundaries between hardware, software, and firmware.

For hardware development, I can do schematics, PCB development, enclosure development in CAD, testing at all stages of the product lifecycle, and more.

For open-source development, I do feature development, maintenance, architectural work, upstreaming, build/release infrastructure, and getting neglected-but-important software back into shape.

I can also help with architectural and modernisation problems. I specialise in "this thing has existed for twelve years and nobody is quite sure how to change it safely" classes of problems, as well as "we've designed ourselves into a corner" classes of problems.

Debugging and investigation: I can help you find the horrible bugs. Especially the really horrible bugs. Race conditions, integration failures, performance problems, and other things where the obvious answer has already failed.

I also do reverse engineering: I can look at undocumented software and device interfaces such as USB protocols, turning opaque systems into something understandable, documentable, and usable.

I have over 19 years of professional development experience. I have worked at Microsoft, various hosting providers, and other companies.

I do short-term and long-term engagements. My rates are reasonable.

I already have 1-2 intermittent clients, but I would like to seek more, and I can definitely slot you into my schedule.

If anything of this interests you: https://elizafox.dev/consulting.html

Hey, #retrogaming and #car folks of #AskFedi, I have a strange theory to test.

If you have a strong opinion about whether you like playing Sonic the Hedgehog or Mario Bros better, AND a strong opinion about whether you prefer driving an automatic or manual transmission car, I would very much like to know the combination of those opinions.

Will explain after the poll closes.

Partial eclipse from Germany. Really happy with how this shot turned out. Taken with an Acuter Elite Phoenix 40 and a ToupTek G3M678M.
