Before we had silicon chips, we had needle and thread. In the 1960s, NASA didn’t ‘upload’ code; they sewed it. To get Apollo 11 to the moon, skilled weavers (often called ‘Little Old Ladies’) literally hand-stitched software into physical objects. Original post

Happy pride. You are so loved!!! You are perfect just the way you are, in all your queerness, your beautiful individuality, your struggles & triumphs. Warts and all.
Schade, irgendwie fand ich das in meinem Kopf witziger 😅. Naja, was soll’s – jetzt habe ich es bereits gemacht.
Englisch fuckt mich manchmal ab 😂. „Consciousness“ ist nicht nur schwer zu schreiben und auszusprechen, es bedeutet gleichzeitig auch noch drei verschiedene Dinge: Bewusstsein, Bewusstheit und Besinnung – und wer weiß, was noch alles.
@tobob.earth Hi Bob, what's happened to the scores of 🐍 Snake 2000? 🤔 I actually wanted to defend my record, which was broken recently. 😅
![This image is a line graph titled **"GitHub Average Uptime by Month"** covering a period from April 2016 to early 2026. A subtitle notes that "Codespaces and Copilot [are] excluded due to launch partway through dataset."
The graph tracks availability percentages, with the y-axis ranging from **99.500%** to **100.000%**.
### Visual Overview
* **The Line:** The data is plotted as a continuous line with colored dots at each monthly data point.
* **The Trend:** * From **2016 to late 2018**, the line is almost perfectly flat at the **100.000%** mark, colored primarily in green.
* Following a vertical dashed line labeled **"Microsoft Acquires GitHub"** (dated late 2018), the line becomes significantly more volatile.
* From **2019 through 2026**, the line shows frequent, jagged drops, with several "dips" falling between **99.600%** and **99.800%**.
* **Color Coding:** * **Green dots** indicate months with 100% or near-100% uptime.
* **Yellow and Red dots/lines** are used for the more volatile period post-2019, highlighting the decrease in stability.
### Key Milestones
* **Pre-Acquisition (2016 – Oct 2018):** Stability is represented as a consistent green line at the top of the chart.
* **Post-Acquisition (Oct 2018 – 2026):** The graph shows a marked increase in downtime incidents. The lowest point on the graph occurs around **early 2023**, where uptime briefly drops near **99.500%**.
* **Recent Data:** The volatility continues through the end of the chart in **early 2026**, showing frequent fluctuations between 99.8% and 99.95%.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ckaz32jwl6t2cno6fmuw2nhn/bafkreidftteoxqihnw7sqaopu2bbfe4ycyyq7yzubnp5timg75htuxztmu)

Sycophantic AI flatters and suggests you are not to blame
The AI models and chatbots that we interact with tend to affirm our feelings and viewpoints — more so than people do, with potentially worrisome consequences.

40 minutes of radio silence—that’s undoubtedly the right length for a good album. Put on your headphones, lose touch with the world, and tune in to the cosmos. ✨

I dug out my graphite drawing supplies again and did a little drawing. It’s a water scorpion.
