@marshray Even cooler is the article that explains WTF a monostable tetrahedron is, along with an animated video of it :)

A New Pyramid-Like Shape Always Lands the Same Side Up | Quanta Magazine

A tetrahedron is the simplest Platonic solid. Mathematicians have now made one that’s stable only on one side, confirming a decades-old conjecture.

Sure, we've all screwed up, but have you ever "inadvertently disclosed to the NANOG mailing list the TLS interception your telco partner was planning" screwed up?

This is a core system app interrupting you, promoting a sale by a movie-ticketing company, to push you to go see the platform vendor’s new movie.

Why not just pop up random ads all the time, always creating new channels that everyone’s opted-into by default so you can never keep up with opting out of them all?

Oh wait, that’s already what happens.

Apple’s as bad as everyone else. They don’t respect their customers — we’re fodder.

They truly have no standards anymore.

@mhoye from an interview with Ursula K Le Guin:

@futurebird I'm using (relatively) normal hardware, BUT...

The laptop (Panasonic Toughbook) on my desk is just an X-terminal. Firefox is actually running on my server, which is in a Connection Machine cabinet that I'm using as a 19" rack. (The Connection Machine is a legendary supercomputer from the 80s. They only made 30 of them. One is currently at MOMA, one is at the Smithsonian, etc., etc.)

So... normal server, sitting in what is perhaps the coolest 19" rack ever made. (The CM was, sadly, empty when i got it.)

Serious question: Does this mean POTUS can order these execs to the front lines?

After much thought and consideration, I have come to hold the opinion that America should *not* be supporting Israel, a genocidal country that is without question conducting a systematic ethnic cleansing campaign against Palestinians.

We should not be bombing Iran.

Trump was the moron who in 2018 withdrew from the JCPOA, a formal agreement that restricted Iran from enriching Uranium anywhere close to weapons-grade, and provided a robust program of ongoing inspection by the very competent IAEA.

If you think that this somehow makes me antisemitic or means that I support Iran, Hizbollah, or Hamas, then you’re an idiot.

Apps that don't provide any 'copy link' function, but use the default system web browser to try to open web pages that then do a permanent redirect to a "Error you have cookies disabled" page amirite?
