The #Amsterdam council is a lot smaller than I expected if they can fit in there.

Bookwyrm seems to have a problem with authority, in the library science sense. She is the author of both of those, but I can only select one.

Adding a new book to Bookwyrm, I'm asked if the author is the author of one of two different things.

Here's an odd one. In #Gnome if I have automatic #timezone detection on, it puts me in "Busingen, Germany", which is probably the closest geographically within Germany to me. The timezone there is CEST, but something in #Ubuntu or Gnome is insisting it's UTC […] [Original post on teh.entar.net]

Any idea why the Philips Hue dimmer is so inconsistent with its battery reporting? It doesn't get used more than a few times per day

battery report over 24 hours from my dimmer switch fluctuating wildly between 3% and like 60%, totally irregularly

So I'm watching Batman (the original TV show) and noticed a headline in a newspaper (the smaller one in the screenshot.) Decided to see if it came from anything, and found this, much more recent […] [Original post on teh.entar.net]

A newspaper. The plot-relevant headline is "'Star of Samarkand' on display at Stonewin's Salon", but a smaller headline is "Mercury new x-ray source, two scientists report"

How does one express "this place closes around this time but it may be earlier or later depending on how busy it is" when updating something in Open Street Map? Something like this? #OSM #OpenStreetMap #Vespucci

screenshot of Vespucci showing the closing time but also with a comment "closing time varies depending on busyness"

If you wish to write a book titled "Careless People", your name must be "Sarah." It's the law.

Yesterday I got to go to #TeHikoiMuseum which is one of the more detailed sources that @ExhibitExplorer uses. I highly recommend it. It tells the story of the history of the area, from both a Māori and Pakeha perspective, then a combination. #Riverton #Aparima #Southland #Murihiku #AotearoaNZ

I was at "glow in the dark" minigolf, by which they mean everything is florescent and they have UV lights so it all glows. They gave us glasses on entry. My thought was that they were UV -blocking, however I did some tests with my own transitions lenses and a […] [Original post on teh.entar.net]
