I read somewhere that pigeons normally live in little holes in cliffs, and that their "nests" are basically only supposed to prevent the egg from rolling out. So they are doing perfectly fine in their own way. In contrast to you and your stupid experiment.

Sounds like a cool where good things happen. Remind of the (brief) time I worked at the People's supermarket in London.

Why do some cultures prefer bright white neon lights? (mander.xyz)
 

Why do some cultures prefer to light their homes with bright white neon lights? And others with more yellow dimmed lighting?

Name showing in log in? (mander.xyz)
 

Small question: I am on Debian and use Gnome. I'm the only user on this laptop.

Is it possible to hide my username from the log in screen? So that only the password field shows?

The point is, my login name is my first name, and I don't like it ...

  1. ... when people in public transport can see my first name when I log in
  2. ...that if I lose my laptop, the people who find it can easily know my first name

I realize I could also simply pick a username that is not my first name, but it would save me a lot of reconfiguration if I could simply hide the name from the login screen.

If so how could they enforce that?

Is Bluesky (going to be) as community-run as Mastodon? (mander.xyz)
 

Reading this article, and especially the end ...

CEO Jay Graber told The Verge that the plan is to hand over control of the AT protocol to a web standards body like the Internet Engineering Task Force.

... it almost sounds as if Bluesky is (going to be) as community-run as Mastodon.

But I'm suspicious. What is the catch?
