@Hush_Kit Had this on my phone for a while, but a Google search seems to indicate it's from the Italian Navy's 2022 calendar.

@doctorow The one one the left there is actually from 2020. 😬 https://t.co/vEhceDd09W.

@patrickwardle Ugh, ignore me. Figured out from my shell history this was due to a ham-fisted mis-paste at the command line. 🤦‍♂️ It did look damned suspicious, though! Apologies.

@patrickwardle Is a dead.letter file in a macOS home directory (containing a partial listing of ~/Library) a sign of any known malware? (I haven’t seen a dead.letter in decades!)

@Aviation_Intel It seems your RSS feed is down? I haven’t seen any new articles appear since 12 April. Only realised today there are actually a stack of them!

@Shayan86 Keep in mind that aspherical wing mirrors (apparently) do not comply with US standards, so you'll have to explain what they are for an American audience.

@TheOverspill You can also start auto-completing a path in a macOS file dialog by typing `~` instead of `/`, if you want to start completion from your home directory rather than the filesystem root.

Do you prefer the old style macOS alerts? There is a way to get them globally for AppKit in Big Sur and Monterey:

defaults write -g NSAlertMetricsGatheringEnabled -bool false

You … you DO realise nano is the clone of pico, right? Right?

@PaulaSKirby And that unassuming street corner up ahead (Hainstr./Brühl) was once the intersection of the Via Regia and the Via Imperii.

@PaulaSKirby Hainstraße. That little low-slung modernist building on the left survived until just a couple of years ago. Now it's a massive Primark. Sigh.

@NanoRaptor …and how the design extends to the smallest details. (Zoom in!)

@NanoRaptor Great thread! How about a current example? I know it's divisive, but I love the look of Sony's Zaha Hadid skyscraper. https://t.co/SPiVL39cbX

@mdf200 After accounting for weather etc., commercial flights will always follow the “great circle” route, i.e the shortest route between two points on the surface of the Earth. It may look like it’s indirectly “hugging the coast” if you use a map projection like Mercator:

@Zubiscuit @AstroSibs Isn't that exactly what pumped storage schemes like Palmiet and Ingula are, conceptually?
