Possibly a breech of etiquette. In my youth, respected animal-bar spokesperson, Chocolate Yogi Bear, always requested we "Start at the knees, please!"

papá, cuando se acaban los números?

kiddo (5) playing with calculator suddenly asks "dad, when do the numbers end?"

He just stood there in silence for a moment when I told him if he just kept counting the numbers would never end.

@Papa Dragon I'd opt for 'we have no clue whether infinity exists but assuming it does makes physicists and mathematicians jobs easier'...

I'll wait a few years for this one. Right now it would only bring new questions, like "What does a mathematician actually do for a living, like for real?" or even worse 🤪

@Papa Dragon That's easy to answer, they either teach maths to people who think math is useless in real life or go on to work in IT. 😋

I just learned about #Superb Owl Sunday while scrolling the stream. Much more compelling than that other thing happening today.

I was recently reminded of this song. It had been a while since the last time I'd listened to it.

What might we be to extraterrestrials if/when they make themselves known to us? Distant relatives? Friends? Pests to be exterminated? Food?! Or perhaps...

Children are innocent, yeah
Teenagers fucked up in the head
Adults are only more fucked up
And elderlies are like children

Will there be another race to
Come along and take over for us?
Maybe Martians could do
Better than we've done
We'll make great pets

My friend says we're like the dinosaurs
Only we are doing ourselves in
Much faster than they ever did
We'll make great pets

Hmmm. Two Dr. Who references in this thread and another that came through the stream on it's own. I do hope to get to it soon eventually.

My compañera and I are still catching up with Star Trek. Currently DS9 and Voyager concurrently.

Last night we remembered that we had begun watching Twilight Zone together, but it had been a while since the last episode. It was still the first season.

Now having memories of Thanksgiving days as a kid at home and KTLA broadcasting Twilight Zone all day long.

Two and a half cups of coffee a day reduces the risk of #dementia

Moderate #coffee consumption offers a certain degree of protection against #Alzheimer's and other dementias. This is the result of a meta-study by Chinese researchers.

Oh wow, we have the repeat function back. Hadn't seen it around here since some versions of Zap ago.

I like that one can relay a post to one's connections (if allowed) when desired and keep our channel home/wall clean. Of course, one can still share a post (preferably with comment) and include it in one's channel home/wall.

Nice.

I'm really enjoying the new fresh theme for streams. The only thing I really am missing is the multi-color thread depth indicator from redbasic (for streams).

Re: #AltText
My mobile phone is on a limited data plan. I've recently got into the habit of setting my browser to disable image loading when away from home. I've found this to be a great way to browse while out and about without concern of reaching my mobile data cap. I've also come to really appreciate those who include alt text for images they post on here because while my mobile browser isn't loading images, I can still read their descriptions. So thanks for using alt text!

Can you explain how to suppress images?

@jrp@hub.kliklak.net Depends on browser used. Check in settings.

At the moment I'm using Midori on Android for my out-and-about browsing. The "Block images" option is in General Settings.

I've checked Fennec browser and cannot find a similar option.

So looks like availability of this function is browser dependent.

So #Firefox is still displaying the "Deceptive site ahead" warning for one of my domains. I just submitted a review request at Googhoul Search Console:

I use the YunoHost operating system (see yunohost.org) to power the server where [domain] is hosted. So https://[domain]/yunohost/admin/ and https://[domain]/yunohost/sso/ are both legitimate login pages for [domain]. They simply contain the logo of the operating system which is YunoHost.

Now we wait and see.

If that doesn't work maybe I'll need to replace the #yunohost logo with something else.

Logged in to Search Console today to see about any updates on the situation. Had an unread message:

To: Webmaster of [domain],
Google has received and processed your security review request. Google systems indicate that [domain] no longer contains links to harmful sites or downloads. The warnings visible to users are being removed from your site. This may take a few hours to happen.

So it looks like the "issue" is "resolved"... for now.

Can confirm I received a total of one direct message from a newly created account on the Pleistocene proboscidean flagship instance; some crypto-crap scam spam.

Glad I use a fedi platform that actually has anti-spam features. Time to use (more of) 'em, I guess.

Also, a moment of reflection for those who've perished in drug wars and those who are still incarcerated for marijuana crimes that are no longer considered crimes.
