Is anyone else on @mastodon.online seeing their #SpamFilters as a "loud" warning even when they are set to silently hide the posts? Is this a bug or a new feature that I missed somehow? #mastodon

The Watcher by the Wall I found this stag at the edge of a field in Killarney National Park in October 2022, standing under an old tree behind a mossy stone wall. I think we were just headed for a late breakfast when someone spotted him in a field off the road […] [Original post on mastodon.ie]

A red deer stag with wide antlers stands under an old, gnarled tree in a bright green field, looking straight at the camera, his brown coat wet and matted, behind a mossy stone wall, a wooden fence post and a single strand of wire, with yellow ragwort and dried seed heads in the foreground.

Focke-Achgelis Fa 330 Bachstelze at Deutsches Museum, Munich. A folding autogiro for U-Boats which wasn't useful in practice. #AvGeek #Aviation

A very simple engine-less autogyro hanging from a museum ceiling. A dummy is strapped in ahead of the rotor mast.

FLYING LOOKOUT
Within just a few minutes, the crew could assemble the engineless gyrocopter Bachstelze (wagtail) on the deck of a German submarine. Attached to the U-boat with a rope, its pilot was expected to observe enemy ships up to 50km away, which would be attacked by the U-boat. As the U-boat gained speed, the pilot would climb aboard the fragile aircraft.
The airstream propelled the rotor blades and carried the Bachstelze up to a height of 200m, like a kite on a string.
When the Bachstelze went into service in 1943, allied anti-submarine systems and air superiority had already made patrols extremely risky for German U-boats. Their captains would often prohibit the use of the “flying eye”. In the event of danger, they would have been forced to cut the cable and leave the pilot stranded on the high seas.

@mathowie I totally understand why. It's a wonder to me why car makers aren't going back to this aesthetic, even re-issuing past models with modern internals. I'd happily pay extra for a car that is art.

I’m obsessed with the Mitsuoka Viewt, a Japanese homage to the 1963 Jaguar Mark II, riding on a new Toyota Yaris chassis underneath.

DHHs "technology adoption" argument on stage with Matz that resistance to LLMs is like the initial resistance to early Rails because it was "new", "slow" & "didn't scale"; dismissed by incumbents, but eventually succeeded & "revolutionised" the industry, likely isn't wrong. But it misses a […]

On hidden camera, pardon brokers Jack Burkman & Jacob Wohl told a 60 Minutes source $300,000 could help a felon get a presidential pardon. Three hundred grand. Wild. When a pardon has a price tag, justice is a luxury item & you can't afford it. #TrumpsCorruptCongress #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
