You can hear Azabache somewhere in these trees, but the video only shows a raven. I think. There are also pidgeons over there, but it looks more raveny to me.

Really nothing spectacular at all today, but yet we still got some red for less than five minutes: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-04-27/ Azabache was hiding somewhere in the trees, I could hear him very well, but not lay my eye on him. The leaves are already covering him up perfectly now.

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha! I was also very surprised to see snow. I didn’t remember that at all. It was gone by the evening again, see archive feed twtxt-2024-11.txt#2024-11-23T18:30:00+01:00. Unfortunately, neither Prologic’s nor Xuu’s yarnd searches yield anything. That message has probably long fallen out of the index.

@lyse I see him on those photos, and his singing starts ringing in my ears. I also thought, “I am going to miss him” because, you know, nothing is everlasting. But then I reproached myself; “enjoy the moment, dude, don’t taint it”. And so I shall.

@bender Oh, this trekking bike is nothing special at all. It's a Bulls Wildtail with only front suspension, 21 gears and standard V-brakes. The first immediate upgrade I did was mounting a pannier rack, it's one of the most useful things.

I just quickly dug out this photo from one and a half years ago where it’s parked at our scout yard in November 2024. You just have to use your imagination on how the front looks like. :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net I am going to give it a more serious spin (meaning I am going to go read the help page). I’ve got to tell you though, most successful games do not need a help. But I am fully aware that there is a subset of gamers that would not mind—if not appreciate—a game with help, manual, and the likes.

Maybe put a notice when on mobile stating that the game is for desktop, or bigger screens (tablets), only?
I’ll do this for sure!

@prologic@twtxt.net I am fairly bad, or have a very poor understanding of the game, so I can’t figure out what to do. Tried a few times. 😅 Also, I am sure you know by now, but it is not mobile friendly at all. Maybe put a notice when on mobile stating that the game is for desktop, or bigger screens (tablets), only?
Congratulations!

I left at full sunshine and completely forgot to bring my bicycle's headlamp. The taillight is always on the bike, but the front one gets charged in the house after every trip. Luckily, I found a torch and roll of duct tape in my hiking backpack. It finally paid off that I always carry all this silly gear around.

With all these new ways of digital publishing, I'm wondering for years why music artists still release entire albums. I would have imagined that most bands simply publish a new song whenever it's good to go. But no, at least in my bubble, everybody still collects a bunch of new songs before throwing them as a collection into the crowd. I never used any of these streaming services, though, so maybe I'm just completely uninformed.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Really depends on the genre, I guess. 🤔 Quite a lot of “non-pop” music still uses the format “concept album”, I think. 🤔 But don’t ask me for any solid statistics. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org maybe they go after the impact. A single? Meh. An album? “Woah! These guy(s)/gal(s) are busy!” Also more possibilities for people liking at least one song. Anyway, that’s my theory, and I am sticking to it! :-P

Just saw the video. Can’t believe that ladder is that expensive. Even in AUD, it is almost $100. It is also 2.5 stars, with 13 reviews. Gulp. Engineering aside (and you are right, it is pretty interesting, and some, if not most of it went over my head), the ladder is rubbish. This is the one I have. Not super, but have been with me for a while, and used quite a bit, still as good as new.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, it’s crazy!
Somehow, your link 403s here, but I just searched it. At least it has the diagonals at the lower two steps. However, the two upper platforms also suffer from the plastic covers, it appears (I cannot tell the material from the low quality images I found). Maybe it is aluminium? I think some joints use machine bolts, though (but again, not enough detail visible).
Happy ladder climbing!

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah I donate to the Signal Foundation for this reason.
As an enjoyer of delightfully bad graphic design, found on most Czech village center cork boards, I’m sad to see the stolen clipart and badly cropped watermarked stock images, gradually replaced with AI slop.
This is far from a serious rant, but generating images of my kind being telepathically hit with sharp rocks, surely gives me a right to complain.
So far these seem the most prominent slop categories, seem to be…
Architecture slop:
- find a sketch of what an old building looked like
- generate an AI version, without correcting any of the perspective errors - this one is diagonally levitating
- generate a recreation of the buildings demise - after going through the AI, for the second time, it is now a completely different building
Moralizing slop:
History slop:
My mate and I hiked some 16-18 kilometers to the Wasserberg. The 22°C sun was beating down hard on us. There were quite a bunch of clouds all around, but none of them casted the tiniest shade on us. Only in the second half we got a little bit luckier in that regard. Still, we were soaked before we even left town. Hardly any breeze.
Unfortunately, I left my camera at home and found it hidden behind the cettle in the kitchen after searching the entire house for some 15 odd minutes. However, a greenfinch paid me a visit this morning and I got it on camera. The sunset was crazy colored, too:
