TIL. In April 1974, in the middle of the night, a small group of conspirators secretly installed a large tensegrity icosahedron made from discarded telephone poles on the campus of Twente University in the Netherlands. It’s still there. People call it Het […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

I’m experiencing again and again sovereignty washing done by poor AWS or Microsoft employees. I’m wondering how it feels to do such a kind of disgusting job. Do they even sleep well? What are they telling their kids? 🤔 #digitalsovereignty #bigtech #sovereigntywashing

Heute haben wir die PCBA-Factory von Qtech besucht (und durften dort sogar Fotos machen). In so einer Fabrik werden Komponenten auf Platinen gelötet.

A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is […]

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@slink/116147683702034123 I have made exactly the same experience with #framework support. Their strategy is apparently to make it so difficult to open a case that users just give up. :( #FrameworkLaptop

... framework is deliberately trying to avoid spending any time and money fixing YOUR NEW PRODUCT and make me spend as much time as possible on this. I will now try to order the damned spare part and will never buy framework again. #framework

i somehow feel sorry for the bcachefs kent. this sounds like a serious mental illness and whatever one might think of their work, i wish all humans a healthy life and this person in particular a good therapist.

Besides the nazi tent being reason enough, I now have another reason not to buy any more #framework computers: I had a brand new, originally packed 16" laptop from October 2024, which I needed yesterday, so two days ago I installed it, to find out that some keys on the keyboard would not work (m […]

I do legitimately think that this is just peak computer UX. It is information dense, but still kind of playful. I'm sure real #ux experts would have a different opinion, but I really enjoy this aesthetic and functionality. #irix #unix #retrocomputing

Not to brag, but if anthropic had paid me $20,000 and given me a month I'd also have been able to write them a very shitty C compiler.
