@npub17nc…9dam so far I've definitely counted myself lucky, but it's well past time I should update my spares so as I don't push my luck 🙂 Tho I'm lucky I don't need to go in every day either.

Very cool. Aurora even visible in Kirikiriroa - here's my budget phone.

@npub1fha…3ru0 straight up vandalism. It's already crap (how many Australasian data breaches of late and barely anything done?) and this will obviously make it worse.

@npub16uk…pv7k kinda crazy anyway, right? I mean, I tell yah, this crazy looking cat called Einstein had this idea that energy is somehow equal to mass times the speed of light squared. So that'd mean bigger cars collide and cause more damage, right? So the safest car in that case is the one that's bigger than every other car. Which just leads us all to driving tanks eventually 😂 /crazytalk

@npub1fha…3ru0 @npub1x4m…hvkj yeah, that does seem high. I know of someone with north of 5k hours on the original. If its something that's been around for ages, that you can play a little every day, it all mounts up. For me, that was TF2 - until I got Elite: Dangerous. Tho hung up my hat for that (both of them really) for now.

@npub16uk…pv7k yup, that tracks. I'm not usually in that space (edu), but have had discussions with MS spaces I've been, and this all sounds very familiar. Spending locally means investing in country, and getting money back via tax, so seems like a no brainier to me (wheres the wasteful spend angle?). But people usually want the sugar fix of a fully baked solution. As you say, its oft a chicken-and-egg. If we put more money into doing in Government, or properly funding local, would be fantastic.

@npub16uk…pv7k are there any suitable "players" in the nz market that could offer an alternative - supported OSS solutions that can be used as replacements? Feels like it'd come back to the procurement issues even if there were fantastic alternatives though, right?

@npub1xkk…9gj7 these are gorgeous, that you've managed to get the composition and the DOF for these spot on, chefs kiss. :chef_kiss:

@npub1xes…sfk6 yeah, that seems like a super hard problem. Best would be something that works based on beak length I'd guess? Like a tube that's small enough for a beak to get into, but too small for a bee head, and too long for proboscis. Given bee proboscis are pretty dang long, not sure how that would even work. Otherwise, something producing constant smoke near the feeder?

@npub1trd…ussx @npub19xu…e8yd @npub190z…a2tx @npub127v…5053 be better if there were no donations at all imho, but thats probably too drastic by half.
