It’s ludicrous that they don’t allow personal gravity banks on shuttlecraft—the chances of the singularity getting loose and eating the airframe are minuscule. Everyone talks about that famous disaster; I’ve done the research and there’s absolutely no credible proof that the loss of USS Thresher NCC-593 was related to a burst graviton weld.

Seattle gave Mark Zuckerberg a proper welcome after he pulled up in his mega-yacht the day after Meta cut 1,400 local jobs. One local artist even set up an easel on the dock and painted Zuck’s yacht going up in flames 🔥

Friend has a new hobby, the wee daredevil

(possibly a hobby so small that it can barely be seen - I work on big images, shrink them to go online, and forget that most people will see it on a phone screen - still, nice flowers anyhow 🤦‍♀️ )

Cose difficili

FWIW, It seems like one of the old Twitter ASNs AS63179 seems to be now doing heavy web scraping (presumably for grok), you can probs get away with dropping the whole thing

@ruud 🙏🏼

The right whining about the liberal late night shows: were they not paying attention during the Dem president years? They made fun of whoever was in office. But those men were actually manly men: they did not turn into a quivering puddle of excrement every time a comedian made a joke about them. You hear these people talk and you'd think that only the current gov was noticed. It is not a comedian's fault that the orange blight provides so much fodder.

I think @gvwilson once called something like this "the fuckit number", the number of package managers you need to install with other package managers to get from a clean system to something that builds.

The correct number is zero. If your project has a fuckit number larger than two, fuck it.

Occupy Wall Street Co-Founder Built an On-Device AI For Activists https://yro.slashdot.org/story/26/05/28/1817215/occupy-wall-street-co-founder-built-an-on-device-ai-for-activists?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon

@RedKoba and Bascule said "knowledge is power". Bulwer-Lytton said "the pen is mightier than the sword."

Violence begets violence.

@neil There have been similar timelines, throughout history, where destabilization has been sought for nefarious reasons, like profiting far more than equitable exchange.

While this happens at multiple scales, it's more worrisome when considering the overlapping geopolitical dynamics adding to the turmoil.

The world's wealthiest are banding together for maximal gain, so the geneeral masses should collectively outperform them, asap.

Since I’m seeing so many people posting about foxgloves yesterday and today, I figured I’d join in.

Mirando ahora: Circuitos Económicos Solidarios https://www.youtube.com/@CES-RIPESS

Ich versuche gerade herauszufinden, welche Medienhäuser in Deutschland mit Tech-Konzernen kooperieren. Es stellt sich raus, dass die da nur sehr ungerne drüber sprechen. Also habe ich den Spieß mal umgedreht und die Tech-Konzerne danach gefragt. Sollte ich von denen mehr Infos bekommen, werde ich meine Branche eigenhändig mit einem Flammenwerfer niederbrennen.
Spoiler: Die Ergebnisse sind bisher durchwachsen, aber in Hamburg und Hannover sollten sie schon mal einen Feuerlöscher bereithalten.

FYI this column is entirely the result of my reading the abstract of a scientific paper about swarming biohybrid microrobots, and wondering WTF that was. Well, now I know and so do you!!!
