Hi, when I follow someone I usually do this from multiple accounts, with different servers and platforms. This is partially as backup. It’s also because different software has different features. E.g. at the moment of writing I mainly post from my Friendica server, but it doesn’t yet support polls, or account migrations. So I also follow from my Pleroma server, which does notify me someone has migrated.
I also sometimes use platforms that support nomadic identity, that allows my channels on multiple servers to be synced. From software that doesn’t support that, a follow request looks like multiple separate requests from those channels.
So here's yet another example of #Google Search AI Overviews completely missing the point of a question and giving misleading/wrong answers. I asked Google how much larger a 75 inch TV is than a 55 inch TV. Google replied with an AI Overview (as below) declaring the 75 was 36% larger than the 55, "meaning the viewing area is significantly bigger on the 75 inch screen", it confidently declared.
Only 36%? That doesn't seem right. We're talking about viewing area, as the AI reply itself stated.
So what went wrong? If you look at the calculation that the AI answer used, it simply calculated how much longer the diagonal of the 75 is vs. the 55. Yeah, it's about 36% longer. But that's NOT the viewing area.
If you calculate out the actual viewing area, a term mentioned by the AI answer itself, the actual result is that the 75 viewing area is about 86% (!) larger than the 55. Not a mere 36%.
So the AI Overview answer was utterly misleading at best, and just plain stupid wrong at worst. Not even close.

Fixed my @F-Droid app on my tablet as I found it had a radically different idea of which versions of several apps were available than my phone had. Both were also behind reality, but that is normal. I noticed this because the @Tuta app failed to download, maybe because such an old version (August) no longer existed. Somehow going into the 'nearby people' function triggered a new wifi permission popup, or maybe it was me toggling wifi off-and-on that fixed it. But after that thumbnails and screenshots loaded again and new(-ish) app versions were shown.
In researching this I found the remark that F-droid has supported unattended upgrades for a while. That is a feature I was really waiting for, as clicking Install on each separate update then wait a minute then click the next etc was getting really annoying. But it is not happening for me. Turns out that this is only available for newer Android versions, which neither of these devices has... See f-droid.org/2024/02/01/twif.ht… .

That’s understandable, yeah we’re in a tricky position for grants as we’re so international. A grant to support both your work and our main dev would be amazing.
I’m not a tech person myself (just experience with Arts funding). So, a bit out of the loop regarding funding help available… any leads you could point us to? I’d be happy to help with the application

Made it to the start of the Eindhoven City Run (5km, this year relegated to the Saturday and not on the actual Marathon day). Also made it to the finish, but I was too tired to take another photo. My time was 34:29, not the slowest ever despite having to hold back due to an injury (the uphill bits were difficult for more than the normal reasons). Made it back home too and added to my collection.
I'd wish they had changing facilities near the finish line, or at all since on Saturday nothing is available. It was a long cold walk back in my t-shirt... Sitting here now trying to warm back up.

Today it's exactly one year ago that an unthinkable massacre was committed by a terrorist organisation against ordinary people in Israel. I'm still hoping the people responsible will be handed over to international courts to face justice.
During this year unthinkable war crimes have been committed in what followed as a response to that massacre. So much so that they overshadow the massacre itself in the public debate. These war crimes have to stop immediately and unilaterally. For both sides there should be no need for negotiations or agreements to stop war crimes. Stop bombing civilians, now. Stop involving civilians in your fight. I'm also hoping these war crimes go to the international courts.
These are the more immediate things I'm hoping to see happening. More idle hope I have is that someone realises that by always retaliating, the fighting never stops; a brave leader (so not one of the ones in power today) is going to decide to not hit back, breaking the circle of violence.

Happy Birthday, Jenna Ortega!
She may be busy filming Wednesday season two in Ireland, but today it is also her 22nd birthday and I feel like celebrating it with a #BirthweekRewatch. A week because a Friday doesn't give enough time to rewatch all I want to see. She made so many great things!
I saw Miller's Girl twice in the cinema, because I liked it so much. Now from the comfort of my own blu-ray player.

It feels like yesterday but last year Mia Shanks impressed me with her first single Yesterday. Today, on her birthday, she announces her second single The Sound Of It. I'm really excited. We'll know the sound of it on 27 September.

So if you tell the Canon EOS R10 auto-focus system to focus on Saturn it's like, ok, I've got it.
Admittedly, it's very vague and it's a tiny crop from the whole photo, it being barely a spec of light, but the photo is taken with a budget camera with a budget lens and it is Saturn and the auto-focus did acquire focus. No telescope involved.

It keeps catching me off guard when a semi governmental organisation sends me a message saying that they are starting work now, and I then find out in the same message that this means '2026, maybe'.
So, somewhere between now and the end of times my apartment will be gas-free.
