ok maybe it wasn't clear but this is obviously a ripoff of the iconic Experimental Jetset design... but not done correctly... seems like it would be easier to fake it right

This IEEE Spectrum piece is absolutely unhinged -- and by the same absurd logic, we would have banned BBSs in the 1980s because kids (🙋‍♂️) were using them to find copies of The Anarchist Cookbook.

Suddenly remembered one can now watch #FormulaE without validating obsolete TV broadcasters, on Roku. Unfortunately I already missed the first race, but will try to keep up with the season.

A short post about making a #Discord bot with #PHP because I was pleased to discover that you don't need a long-running daemon process on a server any more; just a single PHP file will be fine.

Now that Bitcoin ETFs have been approved, let's recap the colossal waste of resources in BTC mining over the past year.

During 2023, Bitcoin's proof-of-useless-work mechanism consumed almost as much electricity as the entire traditional financial sector combined.

The yearly electricity consumption of Bitcoin mining amounted to 121 TWh according to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index https://ccaf.io/cbnsi/cbeci

Sea ice frost flowers:
"These delicate, spiky ice crystals form on young sea ice in extremely cold, calm conditions. They're created when moisture from the seawater rises into the frigid air and condenses around imperfections in the ice surface. As more water vapor freezes, the crystals grow outwards, forming intricate, branching structures that can reach several centimeters in height." #Icetodon

~Experimental bookbinding~

There was talk on discord about styling books based on corsetry and I immediately thought, "but what if it's not just aesthetic? what if it's functional?"

In this sketchbook, the sections are sewn individually, pamphlet style. The lacing is the only thing holding everything together. #HydeMakesBooks #bookbinding

For some reason the Vivaldi browser on Mac has begun crashing frequently ...

I mean there's gotta *be* a reason, but I can't figure it out!

Anyone else experienced this? Know what's going on, and how to fix it?

Ok ok I think I'll spend this Sunday doing some digital housekeeping. First on my honeydo list is fixing my #microblog metadata and #opengraph stuff.

Any ideas for including a for posts with no title? A script that truncates the first sentence?

Remember NEWT TWITTER? It was born from this tweet:

> What if we all just migrate over to the same google doc —@\DJWeduwen, Oct. 2022

It was around then, we all kind of knew Musk would eventually shit the bed. So for a brief moment, some of us migrated to an open Google Doc named NEW TWITTER. It was cool for a bit, then the yatizs arrived, and the doc went read-only. (...)

Ok, so first, content creation. That seems positive, right? Wrong! The best way I've seen of explaining this: "Why should I take the time to read something nobody took the time to write?"

I think this one is a huge net societal negative. The people out there who want instant "content" are almost entirely not readers. They're people who want something to run ads against. They're people who want the credit for writing without doing the work. They're people who want to sell you something without understanding the something or whether or not it might be good for you. In short, they're people with various levels of contempt for their readers.
