RE: #Gemini3
Fun fact, your computer doesn't have USB ports (USB is a protocol, not a connector).
Funner fact, even if your computer has USB-C receptacles it might not be using any type of USB as protocol for a specific connection.
Funnest fact, there's at least a dozen different types of cables that use USB-C plugs with various capabilities, sometimes mutually incompatible and often silently falling back to slower protocols.
The fun of Saturday morning science is over, so it's on to the business of the day #EndOf10 and the opportunity to convert the teenager's laptop to linux mint. Follow along with my no doubt enraging journey through the #Windows10 minefield here. (or mute if you don't want to hear it).
First task is to find a flash drive with enough space and or disposable files on it...
This is a great milestone to see for Mastodon, in evolving towards its new community-focused governance structure. I’m optimistic about what this portends for the platform and how its features & future evolve. (And it’s fun that I was there for the photo being taken!) https://

It’s fun to watch a friend get really into some new interest and sort of enjoy their enthusiasm though them. Feels good!
a feature that i wish was built into mastodon from the start & hope it eventually comes to heads.social. feel like being able to communicate only with people on your local server is one of the missing pieces in actually making local servers work. (i'd certainly be more apt to live-toot live shows/streams if i knew the readers were specifically the heads server.)

Hallucinations in AI are fun, sometimes. So, this time I was trying to search for the lyrics of a Dark Souls 3 song and Google Gemini hallucinated, in italian for some reason, a song title that doesn't exist ("Lullaby of the Final Sinner") as well as some lyrics that don't exist either, and showed me its translation to Italian. So very useful. Lol.

@… Congrats!! 🎉 🏴 Will be fun to watch the Tartan Army take over the US next year. 😁
I went cold-turkey with caffeine 10 days ago.
After a few days of severe headaches and generally not feeling great - I started actually to sleep better, and thanks to that - I have more energy during the days, generally in a better mood, and I am finally feeling inspired to do fun stuff again.
Just finished my next meshtastic solar node, and currently fixing up my homelab that has been neglected for 7 month or so.
Fun fact: The closing theme for WKRP was complete gibberish & that's why we #GenX could never understand the lyrics.
Songwriter Jim Ellis scat thru the song as a test & showwriter Hugh Wilson thought it was hilarious so he left it in.

Sounds like this game got rid of many of the Persona stuff I didn't like and maybe has a battle system similar to Ikenfel which was simple but fun?

The other day my wife and I were talking about Charli XCX, how she's so popular. My wife hadn't heard her stuff. I had, last year, when everyone was raving about it. It's very popular. No shade to her fans.
So for fun, a little later, I put on just the first couple minutes of Charli's 'Brat' (that I found to be unlistenable) and I was like, hey listen to this.
My wife was like, what the FUCK is THAT?!? 😂😂

Somewhere in 2021, when I was still into gaming, I made a certain silly prediction about StarCraft. For fun and giggles I decided to encrypt it, put it on GitHub and wait.
I just tested if I'm still capable of decrypting it. All works well.
The prediction has zero chance of materializing but at this point I don't want to stop. Maybe in 2029 😄

Any random int'l travel recs for early December? I don't mind light rain/cold, no snow please.
Went to see Rob Manuel doing his @… show.
The very first one. And my opinions are officially so great I won the very first prize. A jar of his queen themed Maam-olade.
Mostly for provoking Doctor Who discussions and having head-shaving mistakes evident I suspect.
It was a fun night in a tiny pub with mostly old grey gen-Xers agreeing with each other about trivial things and laughing.
Excellent stuff. Nice to see you again Rob. Good times were had.
My very first experience with Python was generating programmatic art using the Turtle module.
Don’t let anyone tell you coding is only for pros, it can be an incredibly fun and liberating experience.

Titan submarine: Also in the same ntsb set of documents are a) The interview with the Softee who worked on some of the software, (describing Jira and Git to marine investigators..), and replugging the Logitech joystick dongle, and who had also got into screwing the end cap of the sub on and torquing the bolts up (!).
and b) The details of the recovery of the images off the camera - which turn out to be useless - but involved some fun with Luks, and a Qualcomm SoM.

Exordia (2024) by Seth Dickinson is a fun romp on trolley problems if your idea of fun includes "nuke Kurdistan or else we nuke the world". Obama is president, and an alien appears in Central Park to drag some broken people into a battle over an artifact that can change the universe. These aliens have actual Original Sin, and visibly so. Humans freak out at the alien wrongness, a metaphysical brand that shows the entire alien race is doomed from birth to go to a literal hell when t…
I have been intermittently sick, and working on a grant proposal and doing household stuff with the family all week. It's not the best recipe for a relaxing week on holiday. So now I'm going to do some fun stuff. Saturday morning science - which means looking at pretty data and reading new papers and editing student's paper.
... And wondering where I went so wrong that I have to do the actual science in my free time rather than at the office

Hrmm, so created a HashMap (`HashMap::<&str, fn(u8) -> u8>`) in Rust without too much issue which was kinda nice. Then decided to try and make this work inside of an `impl` which...err...Rust has some rather strong opinions about, most of which is telling me to stop what I'm doing because this isn't gonna work.
Kinda fun to try though...lol

Believe it or not, I've never actually submitted an academic paper for peer-reviewed publication before, and I'm a lil nail-bitey.

Help me come up with "fun facts"!
The rule is that they have to be:
1. Factual
2. Of or about "fun"
And for bonus points:
3. Able to be customized to any given human in case some allistic person inevitably says "I meant fun facts ABOUT YOU"
I'll start: my favorite fun fact is that my brain produces endorphins when I'm having fun
Just so you can guess where the "AI" thing is headed, look at this listing from a local community college
"AI made simple for everyday life"
... And look at what comes next:
"Flaggers certification"
The exciting thing (for bosses) is the idea that knowledge workers will be as interchangeable (and precarious) as DOT flaggers

I know you'll be shocked to hear that ardent Trump supporter, Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins (R) was the lone Congressman that voted against releasing the Epstein files.
Fun fact: He also supported former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke for State Governor & made racist comments.

It's fun seeing the old amateur radio licensing paperwork my dad had; one of his early (not quite earliest) from 1965, from the GPO (General Post Office) - typed header and hand filled in. Later ones in the 60-70s are still hand filled in; As it moves from one ministry to another. So much hand written/typed stuff - must have been hell!

So next year is the 30th anniversary of USB and the 10th anniversary of mass-market adoption of the USB-C connector.
Fun fact, USB4 is based on Thunderbolt and virtualizes USB connections over it, so Thunderbolt kind of won the hardware interface wars in the end. Modern peripheral connection hardware is bonkers.
