Cool blog post by Duolingo on how they started animating their characters. I actually ran an extra lesson to see this in action.
And then another one, because the first lesson didn't show any characters 🙄
Unfortunately it appears to not be active yet for my lessons. Soon, I'm sure.

@edwardloveall I've had a remote arrive from Germany after about a year. I'd completely forgotten about it 😂
South African post is not weird, it's horribly broken. But yeah, at least things do usually arrive, eventually.

@thunderbird you know that already happened, right? Thunderbird was split off of Mozilla a while ago, they don't get funding from Mozilla anymore. All their funding is now separately handled and donated by people who would rather donate to Thunderbird rather than to Firefox.

@foone rage against the machine never said which machine they're angry with, but it's pretty obvious it must've been a printer.

So you're saying that the us version of free speech, with its corporate takeover of media and the grievous polarization of the populace, is preferable to the EU way?

@eevee when it came out, its Javascript engine was a lot faster than those of the other browsers that existed at the time, and they also pioneered the idea of running each tab in its own process, and they ran massive marketing around that.
Of course, they lost that edge by now (no pun intended).

@jpmens @partim I had a glance at the activitypub spec the other day, and it allows you to specify multiple versions of the content (each with their own mime type) IIRC. So yeah, you can enter markdown, and the server can convert it to html, and you can still edit the markdown because it's *right there*.
At the dog park
I took my chihuahua and a friend's husky to the dog park. There was a woman who had just arrived at the park who was staring at me with big eyes and a wide open mouth as I walked towards her and the garbage can carrying my chihuahua on one side and on the other side holding a doggy sac filled with a pile of 💩 larger than my dog's head. The lady finally blurts out "You've got to be kidding me!". It then dawns on me that she doesn't realise I've been cleaning up after the husky who has long since run off to play 🤣 😂 🤣
The US of A just gets insaner and insaner.

@xahteiwi difficult to say. It was a very small one, and what it added to my monthly bill didn't really rise above the normal monthly noise in price fluctuations.
I can say though that after correcting for the difference between my expected and actual monthly traffic, the outcome of the Amazon cost calculator (link in the blog post) was pretty much on point. I don't expect it will be more than my projections.

@xahteiwi also, I have a lot of experience with bacula from my previous consulting, and I have done a full restore of customer data once or twice with it. I have no reason to doubt its ability to work well.
