Mike Masnick has written a long but vitally important piece about the context of Zuckerberg's deceit-ridden conversation with Joe Rogan.
Zuckerberg is a political actor, not just a business oligarch, supporting right-wing extremism. Do not for a moment think otherwise.

#PhotoOfTheDay is of a USGS elevation benchmark disk on the summit of Mauna Kea, the tallest summit in Hawaii & the largest mountain on earth when measured from its base on the ocean bed.
Favorite fact:The elevation shown (13,796') is measured using traditional methods. That's from sea level. But GPS elevation is 100 or 200' higher (I forget which.) Why? Sea level here is higher as Mauna Kea is so massive it has its own gravity, which pulls the ocean up on its flanks! 😮

It wasn't for certain whether it would survive it's closest approach to the sun on January 13th, but it did and delivered us a spectacular show!

Kollektivet: "Hit Song" (to save the world) (music video)
I had to come back to this. There is so much that is brilliant about it. First of all, it's a parody of hit music, but it is itself catchy, with top notch video and music production. It has been 12 years and it is *still* a legitimate banger.
Both guys are Norwegian, but Jacob, the blonde guy, pulls off a Swedish English accent so perfect that you can pinpoint it exactly to the island of Lidingö, Stockholm.
It's a parody of Swedish House Mafia's "Save the World", and the fictional band in the video is the "Scandinavian Techno Dance Society".
There is more to say, the music jokes, the genre jokes, but ... just enjoy it.

The 2024 Medley Interlisp Project Annual Report is out with a summary of our work:
https://interlisp.org/project/status/2024medleyannualreport
The 2024 report aims in particular at people not familiar with the project or software. To achieve this the report tries to explain the rationale behind the work we did, introduces the major Medley subsystems, and links to further resources.
What do you think of the report? Would you like to contribute to the project? We look forward to your feedback.

Mastodon FeedBambuLab basically locks down their entire 3D printer ecosystem with this ridiculous cloud authorization system.
You want to print locally via your LAN? Sorry, the cloud needs to authorize your g-code first.
Want to use another slicer to send your job to the printer? Sorry, no.
Would it really still surprise anyone if DRM'd filaments are next on their agenda? Their printers are good, their prices are cheap, but please, stop supporting this company.
