@nerthos (python is bdfl) Mastodon's column layout is pretty bizarre though.
-
@thismightbeauser Yeah, I'm not sure what they were going for exactly. It can work in an ultrawide screen, but you'd likely have to mess with it with stylish or some other browser extension to make it really good. I think pleroma does it right with a wide main timeline centered on the screen, and a smaller notifications timeline on the side.

It feels so weird to be on SPC with some of the people from here, but half a decade after, all of us old and wise now. But I'm thankful for those connections, and for this place's uncanny ability to bring to light the most interesting people.

@thismightbeauser Doesn't matter. There is shock and awe. Does not matter if they even raise concerns you agree with or not. I am just annoyed that it makes a large enough stink that I hear the screeching harpies on both sides of the arguement and it makes me sigh.

@nightshadecupcakes At the bottom: "Rainbow Dash Network is a microblogging service brought to you by Cerulean Spark. It runs the StatusNet microblogging software, version 1.0.1, available under the GNU Affero General Public License."
-
@nightshadecupcakes If you wanted to make your own site like this, you might want to look at Mastodon instead. It's still supported and probably less full of security holes.
-
@nightshadecupcakes The base software is now known as GNU Social, and RDN has a fair bit of custom code written by long-gone users.

@drinkingpony I remember when there used to be a bug in the Linux Kernel that would stop the disk too often and overload it. You had to use hdparm to reset it every time you started or woke the computer. Good times.

Well, this is interesting. Today I learned that there are *.CID files which you can play in VLC player that are effectively just Amiga music files.

@thismightbeauser Could you explain this idea of a Slackbot to me like I am only 5 years old ?
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@drinkingpony I had a program connected to MLFW that would do a search and then post a random image from that search to Slack, which is like IRC or AIM for work. A work chat network. So you could type "mlfw surprised" and it would reply as mlfwbot with something like http://rainbowdash.net/url/874524

@thismightbeauser I also had one connected to Derpibooru. I don't think that one was ever broken. MLFW was occassionally flaky.

@nerthos Nah, Rural California would get shafted there because of where the urban areas are. Either a) Rural California ends up still being dominated by cities in the northern part of the state, or B) the urban parts of the state are split into MULTIPLE states, leading to urban over-representation.

If humanity was truly made in God's image, we can reverse engineer some really unflattering deductions about Him....

@scribus Look up "eigenfaces". It's an application of "eigenimages" that use principal component analysis to pictures of human faces. In the process it generates an image that is an "average" image when each image of the set contributes the same amount to the final image. That can be used to recognize faces or morph faces.
The quality depends solely on the image set. The more faces are not aligned the "blurrier" it is and the more nightmarish it becomes.

Monday, 15-Apr-19 04:13:47 UTC from web-
@thismightbeauser It's a fan series where all the ponies have antisocial personalities. Twlight: rabid anime-obsessed fanfiction writer. Fluttershy: Still shy, threatens murder to control her animals, is part dragon (dragonness is recessive!). Rainbow Dash: She rainbow dashes and dashes rainbows. Talks like a Pokemon and is generally completely inept. Applejack: The element of -loyalty- " *honesty* " Pinkie Pie: Secretly a witch trying to resurrect her parents. Loves to sing about her tragic childhood as an orphan to inappropriately gleeful tunes. Rarity: Loves giant hats. Sweetie Belle: Secretly a robot. Talks like a robot and is not waterproof, but no one seems to notice. Spike: The punching bag. Gets injured and made fun of constantly. Princess Molestia: Spirit name Luna. Talks in a thick accent. Tries too hard to be liked and comes across as weirder than Twilight. Princess Celestia: Voiced by a dude. Secretly hates Twilight and sends her on nonsense missions.
