Hello police I’d like to report a murder 😅

I feel weird about this. Sure it’s a fun idea but I’m not comfortable with changing our infrastructure (and maybe diminishing its accessibility) in the name of selling stuff

“Whole pandemic's coronavirus would 'almost fit on a teaspoon', statistician claims”

On @AProblemSquared I calculated there is only about 8mL of coronavirus particles in the world (across all infected humans). Seems someone at @DailyMirror is a listener:

Just caught up on all the heavy handed DCMA stuff being thrown at Twitch right now. Surely we have ML solutions now that can just remove music in the background? Is it too processor intensive to run on an entire back catalogue?

woah I can actually confirm this. So confused as to how this happened in any modern software... I couldn't get the T so clearly but I got the "rump"

This is completely mind-blowing. I don't even know how you'd do this except on purpose?! Was it not a vector document with editable text? Why is the background text smaller?

Just one of the many reasons why I want to continue making my laser fireworks project https://seblee.co/projects/electric-laser-flares/

The crud thrown into the air by fireworks really hangs around too. The 1st graph shows levels still high this morning. The blue and red lines are WHO PM2.5 and PM10 levels respectively. The 2nd graph shows context of the last 7 days. Data from my @pimoroni Enviro+.

(yes yes strictly speaking it's not my living room but I'm not gonna let that get in the way of a nice alliteration)

I set up #laserlightcity for @WestVisions in my home! I call it Laser Light Living Room 😊

Well isn't this pleasing

oh hey have you ever used one of these point to point wifi transmitters by @ubnt ? I'd love to hear what you think about it! https://www.ui.com/airmax/nanobeamm/

It can do almost anything you could ever need but good luck figuring it out

AWS is a service built by engineers throwing more complexity at a system without a thought for any kind of elegant design. Just awful. haha!
