In the past 12 months, anti-Trump sentiment in both Canada & Australia has been credited with preventing right-wing conservatives from winning general elections.
According to the latest polls coming out of Hungary, Team MAGA might just cause a hat-trick with Hungary.
New video: Let's Code MS DOS: 0x37 Rainbow Surf Analysis
This year's Revision demoparty had a surprising winner in the 256 byte compo. It was Rainbow Surf by Plex/BionFX and it is only 16 bytes long. That is short, very short. In fact, here is the code: c4 04 48 ab 26 03 45 ae 26 03 05 c1 e8 02 eb f2. Let's dissect it!

I'm glad to see politicians from the European Parliament pushing back on this nonsense.
The Pentagon is doubling its Middle East fleet of Air Force A-10 attack planes,
which can support advancing ground troops,
even as President Trump says he wants to end the Iran war in two to three weeks.
The Air Force is dispatching 18 A-10s to join roughly a dozen A-10s already in the region that U.S. commanders have used to attack Iranian boats and Iran-backed militias in Iraq, two Pentagon officials said on Wednesday.
The slow-moving A-10 āWarthogā is a so-called close-air support plane with a fearsome cannon at the tip of its nose that can fire 70 30-millimeter shells a second.
The A-10 flies at low altitudes and slow speeds, which allows it to loiter over targets on land and at sea.
The planes could be used to help U.S. ground forces seize territory near the Strait of Hormuz, the crucial waterway Iran has effectively closed, or Kharg Island, Iranās main oil hub in the northern Persian Gulf.
The U.S.-based A-10s have been stopping at Royal Air Force Lakenheath, a base in England, en route to the region, according to flight-tracking data and the Pentagon officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters.
The additional A-10 deployments were previously reported by Air & Space Forces Magazine.

A former Trenchant employee told us that when Triangulation was first revealed, other employees at the company believed that at least one of the zero-days caught by Kaspersky āwere from us."
Also both Kaspersky and Trenchant seemed to wink at the fact that they both knew.

The LHCb experiment at CERNās Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has discovered a new particle consisting of two charm quarks and one down quark, a similar structure to the familiar proton, but with two heavy charm quarks replacing the two up quarks of the proton, thus quadrupling its mass. The discovery, presented at the ongoing Moriond conference, will help physicists better understand how the strong force binds protons, neutrons and other composite particles together. Quarks are fundamental building blocks of matter and come in six flavours: up, down, charm, strange, top and bottom. They usually combine in groups of twos and threes to form mesons and baryons, respectively. Unlike the stable proton, however, most of these mesons and baryons, which are collectively known as hadrons, are unstable and short-lived, making them a challenge to observe. Producing them requires smashing together high-energy particles in a machine such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These unstable hadrons will quickly decay, but the more stable particles that are produced as a result of this decay can be detected and the properties of the original particle can therefore be deduced. Researchers have used this approach many times to find new hadrons, and the new particle just announced by the LHCb Collaboration brings the total number of hadrons discovered by LHC experiments up to 80. āThis is the first new particle identified after the upgrades to the LHCb detector that were completed in 2023, and only the second time a baryon with two heavy quarks has been observed, the first having being observed by LHCb almost 10 years ago,ā says LHCb Spokesperson Vincenzo Vagnoni. āThe result will help theorists test models of quantum chromodynamics, the theory of the strong force that binds quarks into not only conventional baryons and mesons but also more exotic hadrons such as tetraquarks and pentaquarks.ā In 2017, LHCb reported the discovery of a very similar particle, which consists of two charm quarks and one up quark. This up quark is the only difference between this particle and the new one, which has a down quark in its place. Despite the similarity, the new particle has a predicted lifetime that is up to six times shorter than its counterpart, due to complex quantum effects. This makes it even more challenging to observe. By analysing data from protonāproton collisions recorded by the LHCb detector during the third run of the LHC, the LHCb Collaboration observed the new baryon with a statistical significance of 7 sigma, well above the threshold of 5 sigma required to claim a discovery. āThis major result is a fantastic example of how LHCbās unique capabilities play a vital role in the success of the LHC,ā says Mark Thomson, CERN Director-General. āIt highlights how experimental upgrades at CERN directly lead to new discoveries, setting the stage for the transformative science we expect from the High-Luminosity LHC. These achievements are only possible thanks to the exceptional performance of CERNās accelerator complex and the teams who make it all work and to the commitment of the scientists on the LHCb experiment.ā Further information: LHCb presentation at Moriond is available here.

Every day Iām more convinced that the Fediverseās slow mainstream adoption isnāt really about usability.
People say itās because itās hard to join, the terms are confusing, or the apps arenāt polished enough. Maybe a little. But honestlyā¦ look at the platforms people already use.
Finding anything on LinkedIn is painful.
Trying to locate the original video on TikTok is a scavenger hunt.
Facebook is still full of weird bugs and odd UI choices.
Instagram hides posts behind algorithms.
Twitter/X constantly changes the rules of engagement.
None of these platforms are exactly āeasy.ā
People stay because their friends are there. Because the big creators are there. Because thatās where the conversation already lives.
And, if weāre honest, because these platforms are engineered around a very effective reward loop: notifications, likes, infinite scroll. A dopamine machine. You learn the confusing terms and awkward interfaces because thereās a constant reward for doing so.
So yes, making the Fediverse easier to join absolutely helps.
But what would help even more is something simpler:
more mainstream, recognizable, official accounts showing up here.
Thatās how networks grow.
People follow people not platforms.
