@VeroniqueB99 @jwz no, this photo is from Toronto - College and Yonge Street, likely 2013 or so from the specific model of bicycle visible in the shot.

Because we need more #dogsofmastodon, here is Agnes.
A black and brown mutt dog lying on a grey tile floor. The dog's name is Agnes and she is the best dog ever.

Just got my official letter for the fellowship to New Zealand! And I have a possible lead on a local farm sitter, but nothing is set yet.

So I'm just going to put this out onto the Fediverse again, in case someone who knows how take care of goats in Real Canadian Winter (down to -40C temps) […]

The Ballad of the Saskatchewan Goat-Sitter

(chorus)
Oh it's cold in the morning
It's fucking cold outside
There's frost on the hay bales
You can't stay warm if you tried
But the goats need their breakfast
So it's to the barn you go
At the break of day you bring the hay
And the […]

hey wanna see something kinda interesting? this was the entire fix to the iPhone Antennagate in 2010. 20 bytes.

(this is going to be a very long thread 🧵)
Assembly code between iOS 4.0 and 4.0.1. It's basically the same except one instruction points to a different address. A lookup table tweaked between 4.0 and 4.0.1.

TT-RSS is going away. It was the first feed reader I hosted and used in a regular basis and it was great. Sad to see it go, but I understand the reasons. https://community.tt-rss.org/t/the-end-of-tt-rss-org/7164 #selfhosting #selfhosted

Jeez, every couple of years I come back to John Moreland's work and you'd think I'd learn, but every time I get caught by a different edge in that kaleidoscope of broken glass. It's beautiful and it draws blood every time.

The older I get, you know,
Truth - it gets harder to find
And famous false prophets
Get by from robbing good men blind

Maybe I don't have it in me
Maybe it doesn't have me in it
And if I can't fly, that's fine
Just let me find a place where I fit

To anyone in Sydney, these photos will be very boring, but they might be interesting to people who live elsewhere.

This is what it looks like inside Sydney's double decker trains...

#rail #railway #railways #Train #trains #publictransit #publictransport #Sydney
Inside the upper level. The blue padded seats are arranged in a 2 - 3 configuration. The seats also change direction (from facing forwards to facing backwards) by pushing (or pulling) on the yellow handles. Different view inside the upper level. The seats on the lower level are in the same configuration. Note the bottom of the window on the lower level just below the level of the platform. The entryway where you board the carriage (the doors are to the left and right of this photo). You board at platform level, then walk up or down the stairs to reach the upper or lower level. There are seats at this level designated for people with disabilities. You can move between carriages. There's an information display that shows which line you're on and upcoming stations. A network map is posted on the walls near the doors.

A-a-and there it is, finally someone jumps through that enormous Chekhov's stained glass window. I thought it would be jumping out rather than in though, nicely played!

What the heck is going on with the reccurring apples?

Chris Sarandon (Jerry Dandridge) developed a backstory for his vampire character that included "fruit bat" in his ancestry.
