For very good reasons, the
.ioTLD is going away.Once this treaty is signed, the British Indian Ocean Territory will cease to exist. Various international bodies will update their records. In particular, the International Standard for Organization (ISO) will remove country code “IO” from its specification. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which creates and delegates top-level domains, uses this specification to determine which top-level country domains should exist. Once IO is removed, the IANA will refuse to allow any new registrations with a .io domain. It will also automatically begin the process of retiring existing ones. (There is no official count of the number of extant .io domains.)

@bramus @owa This forced monoculture of failure benefits only one party: Apple.
By requiring every developer to build native apps through a lack of features and reliability, the App Store maximizes rent extraction.

Given the year it was produced, I was genuinely unsure whether it was fully computer-generated or not until I looked at the wiki page. It's such a flex that in some of the later sections of the movie, they drop the frame rate of certain elements to something characteristic of older stop-motion works to produce an uncanny effect.

Looks like it's time for another hurricane thread. Today we woke up to hurricane models realizing a storm they had been realizing when Helene hit us last week, but then in the beginning of this week the storm gradually disappeared from dynamic models. So, we weren't really paying attention anymore as it seemed to be becoming a rain maker but not a wind and surge event.
Now we are paying attention. The trend reversed and all of the models seem to be realizing a tropical cyclone ranging from Tropical Storm strength to Category 4 hurricane. Tracks are converging on central Florida's west coast. If it realizes full strength and hits slightly north of Tampa Bay, it will be an absolute disaster. It will kill many people and collapse Florida's weak, feeble insurance market (Thanks for that, Rick Scott and Republican kleptocrats!)

Revisiting a stone cold classic 👍
On 24 February 2007, ESA’s Rosetta made its only flyby of Mars & captured images of the Red Planet 🛰️
Several different colour composites were made & published at the time, but I decided today to (waste time &) see what I could come up with from the archival data 💻
So here’s my RGB image of Mars from 240,000km with a resolution of ~5km/pixel.

Just saw someone say the only news they trust out of western North Carolina is personal stories from TikTok. These folks say they saw FEMA arresting people.
Then I immediately saw and read a story about how so many of the vids purporting to be from the region are deep fakes. Probably from China and Russia, which sees every US natural disaster as an opportunity to sow more division and strife.
Hard not to feel like disinformation is literally going to destroy the country.
