If I have to prove I’m not a computer by identifying traffic lights and busses, perhaps we’re not quite ready for self-driving cars.

How to report a bug:
1) Say what happened.
2) Say what should have happened.
3) Give a self-contained reproducible example.
4) Be precise.
Very rarely do I see a bug report from with all 4 conditions satisfied. All are important but point 3 is perhaps most of all.

Wow! This is BIG - the Apple Lisa source code has finally been released!
This was something that was asked during the VCF Midwest panel for the Lisa Documentary.
It’s so very cool that the Computer History Museum was able to get permission from Apple to release the source code… and on the Lisa’s 40th birthday 🎉

I’m going to tell you the story of the man who solved a crime.
Not, like, a cop who put together the clues and got his man, but a person who took a crime as old as civilization and fixed the problem where it got you in trouble.
The man: Artur Virgílio Alves Reis.
The place: 1920s Portugal.
The crime: Counterfeiting.
The problem he fixed: That the money is counterfeit.
(This is going to be a long 🧵 . Just trust me.)

Awwww, RIP Jeff Beck. This hurts me; his music was one of the tools I used arguing with my olders-and-betters that this modern electric music had depth. Almost got thrown out of a student house in the Seventies for playing Wired all the time. Sad.

If you’re at the right place at the right time, with the right equipment, this is possible.
Last night, with guidance from https://transit-finder.com/, I positioned myself along the narrow line where the International #SpaceStation would pass between me and the nearly full moon.
I used a Fujifilm X-T4 shooting 4K video through a Celestron 8” SCT to capture the pass. Then, back at the computer this morning, put together these views with PIPP, Registax, and GIMP.
Quite pleased. My best yet.

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate that Mastodon, Twitter’s current heir apparent, is completely devoid of all the web3, tokenized, blockchain/nft bullshit that crypto cultists have been feverishly mansplaining will power the internet going forward. None of it is necessary to build a robust, decentralized infrastructure. It was all a bunch of lies and self-deceit to lure suckers into the shitcoin casinos. Let 2023 be the year that crypto dies with a whimper.

You can keep your Mastodon account extra safe by using Two Factor Authentication (2FA).
To activate this, log in through your server’s website and go to ⚙️ Preferences > Account > Two Factor Auth, then follow the instructions.
It is slightly tricky to set up, but once it’s been set up it’s very easy to use.
2FA means that even if someone finds out your password they cannot log in. With 2FA activated, your phone will give you a new code each time you log in to allow your password to work.

Over the last few days, I experimented with moving my Twitter archive to my personal #Mastodon account @luca@social.luca.run and finally succeeded.
I had to modify the Mastodon source to allow backdated posts and prevent it from spamming other instances with old posts. Because image descriptions aren’t included in the Twitter export, I had to request them from the API. There I got full text for truncated Retweets as well.
