A mossy stone on the side of a forest path with sun spots. The shot is made from a ground level with the path slightly bending around the stone and blurring in the background.

I'm going to say this in the most diplomatic possible way that doesn't actively hide the truth. We are being ruled by the dumbest fucking inbred morons who ever ate a raccoon penis.

RFK, a fascist with brain worms, who once ate a raccoon penis he found on the side of the road says the pedophile fucking fascist we decided to let run the country has a "different way of calculating percentages" and gives the examples "if you have a $600 drug and reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction". Welp he's correct about one thing, that's certainly a 'different' way of doing math. The wrong way.

This "descent" is the equivalent of the company stepping off a very low curb, Peter Thiel has had a neon sign over his head flashing "FASCIST" for years now, and its weirdo CEO is precisely what fascism looks like when you mix it with equal parts cocaine and flop sweat, Palantir is exactly where it's always been, it's just the leadership doesn't even bother to pretend anymore

we really need an explicitly anti-gambling movement within games, of creators and critics and players, who stand against this encroachment into our creative medium.
but we need to structure our arguments carefully, to identify the actual problems and set actionable practices/boundaries and not derail into any moral argument that even remotely resembles "it's sinful on the part of the gambler".

Which is the easiest programming language to master and work with?
I’m Sara. I completed 2 out of 4 years of a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, but I had to stop because of the war.
Now I’m forced to continue through free online courses due to my financial situation.
I really need to work so I can get back on my feet and support my family and my children after we lost everything.

Please, any advice—write it here.

I installed a smolfedi instance (thanks to the pointer by @roblen), a super reduced web 2.0 interface for the Fediverse/Mastodon by @adele.

I hope to make it a little more e-reader friendly through CSS, because that's something that most Mastodon clients are not supporting well.

lol, roflao @ arstechnica article about Palantir employees concern about their “decent” in to fascism. That’s what the company has been about since its founding. It is Fascism Inc. Anyone who has ever worked there would have failed that mandatory freshman level Ethics 101 course at my almamator.

I couldn't choose which of these two photos I prefer of a blackbird on a path ahead of me in the nearby reforestation area. Both are wonky in their own way. #photography #birds #blackandwhite

A blackbird stands near a path. There's a small bridge ahead. It looks like the blackbird is watching the photographer
That same blackbird on that same path but it seems to be looking elsewhere this time.

Lately, I've felt that photographing with a very wonky thirty-year-old Jupiter-9 85mm lens more accurately reflected my mood than anything taken with a sharp modern lens. #photography

People walk in Hveragerði.
We see an abandoned tarp in the middle of a broken commercial greenhouse
You can barely see the blackbird on a branch in the distance for all the other branches.
A hiker cuts across a field in Hveragerði. You can see the local health resort in the background.

The web is disappearing 🕳️
According to a Pew Research Center report, 26% of pages from 2013-2023 are no longer accessible.

But that’s not the whole story.
In a new study published in VANISHING CULTURE, data scientists have found:
16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine.
56% are preserved before they disappear.

Preservation is the remedy for cultural loss.

Infographic titled “URLs Preserved in the Wayback Machine” based on a dataset of 5.4 million URLs. It shows 26% of web pages are dead and 74% are still alive. Of the total, 10% have vanished completely, 18% are endangered (not yet preserved), 16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine, and 56% are preserved. The visual uses a flow-style diagram to show how preservation reduces permanent loss.

on the human mistakes though, i think it's safe to say the controller done fucked up. they should not have given the truck clearance to cross with the plane so close. they did notice what was happening and try to avert it though. but then probably the best mitigation would have been for the plane to go around, cause the heavy diesel truck can't do that.

the pilot did jam on the rudder hard to try and swerve out of the way but it looks like they noticed too late. will be interesting to see the flight recorder analysis

the preliminary report on the LaGuardia crash is out.

  • some technology failed mysteriously (the lights saying "get the fuck off me now")
  • some technology failed entirely predictably (analogue radio users stepping on each other because we still use analogue radio with this obvious failure mode for some reason in 2026.
  • some technology was cheaped out on (they didn't buy the truck transponders for LGA even though they had the software for monitoring them, so it fell back to much less reliable ground radar which only spotted 2 of the 7 trucks)
