guys be like "i know a place" and then take you to the cloudflare AI labyrinth

There is a live plot of Kosmos 482's calculated position up on TheLaunchPad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXbM... Note, because we don't precisely know a) the atmosphere's shape/density, b) the spacecraft's profile, we can't precisely know the drag coefficient. Exactly where it is... that takes data. 🧵

What's all this about "met gala". I met a galah once.

saw something so incredible on my way home that o had to turn the vw around to get some pictures of it with my disposable camera 📸

The next Bourne movie is just gonna be two hours of Jason getting chased through a series of Arizona strip malls

The #neurodivergent need to supply people with so much front-loaded context that they fall over backwards.

Vote tomorrow, or I will hunt you down! Ha ha! 😘😍❤️

"Our parent company, Paramount, is trying to complete a merger. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways"

I took this picture last week because someone went to the effort to populate the outdoor furniture section with plushie animals.

so they're mycoblogging

Saw this in a hotel and I had to have one. (melody bought me one - we didn't steal it from the hotel). The top is a wireless phone charger.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

In the bottom of the box, all that was left was hope, and a board with a nail in it.

Thank you for that, Slackbot.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Resilience Engineering feed should be working again.

Sometimes automation causes more issues than it solves.

Android WebView is the new Internet Explorer. There, I said it.

Android WebView: it's like chromium except we broke a bunch of things so they either don't work, or don't work the way you'd expect. 100vh? surely you don't expect that to correspond to 100 percent of the viewport height.

Mood.

I wrote a desktop app in golang, that became a web app in golang wasm + javascript, that become a golang + electron app, that I am now porting to android using gomobile and kotlin.

A great thread, with a lot of great reads within.

Wait! New Black Mirror? Cool. I could use a break from our dystopian reality to watch some less dystopian fiction.

A bit slow, can we give it some welly?!

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

drink water btw

Donald's babysitters must have been *extra-busy* today keeping that thin-skinned toddler from seeing pics of all the thousands of people throughout America taking to streets to say they are OVER Trump and Musk and the chaos/destruction they bring.

Found an old selfie from a few months ago that I don't dislike, so trying it on for a bit.

Fall is the best season because it's the one I'm least allergic to. Summer - smoke. Winter - mold. Spring - pollen.

Folks, I think I have finally achieved optimum color calibration of my laptop display. (turns into pure energy and leaves this plane of existence)

I feel Benoit Blanc would have an opinion.

Every day I wake up to the news

Can you file Chapter 11 on a country? Asking for an idiot.

ANAGRAM OF THE DAY: wonkily misconstrued bounties = elon musk tried to buy wisconsin

Having spent a great deal of years (until about 5 years ago) in the finance space, there are very good reasons why COBOL systems continue to run. These are massive and complex systems, and the idea that a bunch of randos want to come in and replace it in a few months is terrifyingly risky.

As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.

I need to get back into drawing again. Even if it is just the pen/pad doodles I used to do. They ground me.

Nachos but made of geese.

Not sure eliminating DEI and replacing it with DUI is working so well.

23andMe declared bankruptcy and the company is gonna be sold off for parts. That includes your DNA information and the only amount of control you have is to delete your info immediately. It’s very simple to do. Gift link: wapo.st/4kUsBEF

Gnome 48 isn't terrible. I figured out getting GSConnect built from source so I have my phone and laptop synced. Normally I use KDE, so I spent a bit of time installing various extensions to make the user experience more what I'd expect.

Got tea, but the sun went away. Boo.

This is my entire life

Repeat after me: The Chatbot is not feeling anxiety. The Chatbot is guessing what it's reply should be based on the responses to anxious and traumatic narratives that exist in it's dataset. The Chatbot is reflecting our anxiety back at us. It does not feel. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
