Veronica Explains veronica@explains.social

I just caught that Libera.Chat uses the phrase "insufficient human involvement" and I love that specific phrasing for flagging LLM-generated pull requests.

The Return of Kozeshi kozeshi@pounced-on.me

Happy Non-binary people's day! Here's our enby Atha last year working on a set of non-standard fog lights on the bumper of a Nissan Leaf during what can best be described as a mild sandstorm in a parking lot in Nebraska.

A non-binary person (Atha) sitting with hir left arm extended into the front corner of a grey Nissan Leaf bumper and hir right hand holding a screwdriver, tightening a screw to hold the fog light in place. The front wheel of the Nissan is steered outwards to facilitate access. A box of tools and parts is in the foreground at right of image. A green case of drill and screwdriver bits is just behind it in centre of image. Atha is sat on the sandy and dusty parking lot with buildings visible in the distance at far left, Atha is dressed in a Harbor Freight peak hat, hinged green welding goggles, a dust mask, a long black "Criminal Damage" denim coat modified with Etsy gothic print denim at the cuffs and shoulders, a grey t-shirt, beige 3/4 length shorts and a pair of non-binary flag pattern thigh high socks from Sock Dreams.

@liebach @jpmens After twenty years on Linux, this image finally helped me:

An image showing tar commands in the top part:

What I type:

What I say in my head:

"create ze file"
"extract ze file"

"Using Debian machines for reading mail is OK, please choose a lightly loaded machine. We do not support the use of mail download methods such as POP or IMAP, use your ISP's mail server and forwarding"

You know a document was initially written in the «whenever» and last updated in 2010s when it suggests you use your ISP's mail server for reading your mail remotely! ;p
God I love how old mailing worked

A three-panel meme playing on the double meaning of "tan lines."
* **First panel:** Text on the left reads "What guys think tan lines are." On the right, an illustration shows a person's upper arm with a sharp "farmer's tan" line from a t-shirt sleeve.
* **Second panel:** Text on the left reads "What girls think tan lines are." On the right, an illustration shows a woman's collarbone and shoulders with pale lines left behind by bikini or halter straps.
* **Third panel:** Text on the left reads "What tan lines actually are." On the right, a mathematical graph shows a coordinate plane with an x and y-axis. A curved line is plotted on the graph, and a straight line touches it at a single point, labeled "Tangent line."

Dig for Dirt has gone live 🌱

We're looking for growers and farmers to collectively find out more about the microbes under our feet.

Soil bacteria can help clean up the toxic pollution that is the legacy of mining in our area, but very little is known about how this works.

If you grow crops or keep livestock at any scale, from a garden plot, allotment, smallholding, all the way up to a large farm, and you’re based in Cornwall or Devon, we’d love to hear from you: https://digfordirt.co.uk/

Dig for Dirt is ready for you! With an isometric illustration of crop plants on one layer and soil bacteria on a lower layer

Do you grow food, flowers or keep livestock in the South-West UK? This could be in a garden, an allotment, a smallholding, or a commercial farm of any scale.

With a simple illustration of some kale.

Can you provide a small soil sample to help understand how bacteria clean up mining pollution? You'll get a simple sampling pack from us for collecting some soil, with the return post paid for.

With a simple illustration of a trowel in some soil.

In return for your time you will have access to your own soil bacteria
results, and see how they compare to others in the South West. You will also receive a beautiful printed photograph of your soil bacteria!
