"On Sunday, July 20th, 1969, at precisely 20:14:19 UTC, just a mere three minutes before touchdown, the voice of Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr. confirmed the “Go for landing” order received from Mission Control together with a phrase nobody wanted to hear at that moment: “Program alarm – 1201.”"

I know #Pixelfed doesn't support muting hashtags on the server side.
Are there any clients that support muting in the client?

On the same day I signed an initial IEP plan, I find out the US Dept of Education has cut half its staff.
Fuck POTUS47 and anyone that voted for him. And fuck any #ProgressivesForTrump that didn't have the maturity to vote for a better future. There's a million ways we will suffer for your single-minded refusal to see the future. You think people will "try harder&quo…

"It is fair to say that Microsoft spent at least the first five years of its history in relative obscurity. The first appearance of the name “Microsoft” on the pages of Byte was a short mention of their BASIC interpreter in an advertising on page 47 of the May 1977 issue. In contrast, page 34 of the same issue included an article about the Apple II by Steve Wozniak. The Woz and Gary Kildall were the biggest stars of the microcomputer industry at the end of the 1970s."

I looked into buying a solar charged battery bank. This product category is completely dominated by no-name 3rd party sellers. 🚩
Charge time is key. No listing had even a rough estimate for solar charge time. 🚩
An example unit claims max solar power 1.13 w, with enough battery power to charge an iPhone 14 Pro twice. Working from that, you'd need ~25 hours of full sun to fully charge. I'd roughly estimate that means at least 3 days in summer. Not quite worthless, but close…

"Maybe Dr. Weinberg took some inspiration from Melvin Conway, who in 1967 stated that “organizations design systems mirroring their own communication structures”. Now you start to understand why your microservice architecture is a mess, and no, neither Istio nor Prometheus is going to help you with that."

Two years ago at #CSUN I learned about what became my favorite browser extension, BeeLine Reader. I've been a subscriber ever since.
It's easy to set up on desktop, but has been some struggle to get working on Android. But this week I discovered it works with Microsoft's Edge Canary mobile browser, which has experimental support for extensions. Instructions are here:

Can the ai components (NPU) of new processors be used for non-ai work?
What I'm thinking is along the lines that the vector-processing components of GPUs have also been used to speed up non-graphic mathematics on large arrays.
