anyway, PSA for austrian transfems who didn't change their name in ÖBBs system i guess:
ÖBB doesn't allow you to change your name easily
you can do that anyway if you open devtools, find the input element for the first name, and just remove "disabled="""
you can just click save and... it saves correctly.

tfw you play something you half-know on keyboard and realise it spans just over three octaves and many of the intervals involved are very close to a perfect fourth and you go 💭🎸❗️

I had off by one errors in two directions! but sadly they didn't cancel each other out.

note to self: before you try to CALL a function, make sure you have a stack first.

We all know about the Pioneer Plaque and Voyager’s Golden Record but have you seen the ‘Water Words’ on the Europa Clipper. It is a plate made of tantalum and has the waveforms of the sound of the word water in 103 languages engraved on one side.
Its a plate of semiotic beauty and I hope future lifeforms will not listen to it backwards.

Remember the coup attempt in South Korea two months ago?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_South_Korean_martial_law_crisis

It started with late night declaration of martial law. Proceeded to military being actually deployed.

People came out into the streets in the middle of the night and physically refused to follow directions by military personnel enforcing the martial law.

Policymakers voted to end the martial law, inside the National Assembly building that was being stormed by the military.

Coup ended within 6h.

I've had a lot of people ask how BlueSky compares to Mastodon and the Fediverse. I've tried to make the answer as simple and easy to understand as possible:

🦋 BlueSky is designed to give corporations and wealthy people full control of the network. All of its traffic has to flow through expensive-to-run corporate relays.

The Fediverse is to designed to give ordinary people control of the network. All of its traffic flows directly from one cheap-to-run server to another.
