Is this censorship?
Somewhere in time and space, things are happening.
List of prideful sins in Katabasis. "Had more of a comment, not a question." I approve sending these people to hell.
Oh god, we're getting prop 50 ads in Pennsylvania.
Geometry has 100% absolutely gone too far.
In geometry, a zonohedron is a convex polyhedron that is centrally symmetric, every face of which is a polygon that is centrally symmetric (a zonogon). Any zonohedron may equivalently be described as the Minkowski sum of a set of line segments in three-dimensional space, or as a three-dimensional projection of a hypercube. Zonohedra were originally defined and studied by E. S. Fedorov, a Russian crystallographer. More generally, in any dimension, the Minkowski sum of line segments forms a polytope known as a zonotope.

The private $130 million contribution will have minimal impact on the Defense Department payroll and only cover a small amount of the funds needed to pay the troops. The Pentagon spends roughly $7.5 billion every two weeks to pay uniformed soldiers and reservists, according to federal data. That means the amount being donated would cover less than a day’s worth of salaries.
Has geometry gone too far?
the rhombicosidodecahedron a solid made of 62 regular triangles, squares and pentagons.
It's bizarre watching the crab people pivot from bugs are bad to bugs are good actually.
Another casualty of the glass. I think a lot of websites are going to look bad because off screen area is now visible. The buttons are supposed to be a menu floating stuck to the very bottom of the screen, but now that the underlying layer extends past it, you can see the food menu below.
Ugh, so not that the honk interface is a moma award winner, but the new glass effect makes the menu look worse because you can see "off screen" content above it now. Suing Tim Apple for libelslander. That and bright purple squares glowing beneath the keyboard. What were the cupernerds thinking?
What's the return for betting yes on all the 80% events on kalshi?
Ah, finally understanding how there's so much crime in shithole cities.

The good news at least is I've got MTE so now I'm clicking on all the links.
The new imusic automix feature is a disaster. It turns the last/first 10 seconds of a song into an avant garde noise cacophony.
Oh, god, my phone has been glassed and everything is different!
Why are companies adding AI to everything? I believe I've found the answer. Big Basilisk is in the driver seat.
To deal with it, she has built some of her own AI tools aimed at speeding up her work, including a browser extension. Every time she opens a new tab, the extension asks her how she could be using AI to do whatever she is doing differently, she said.

@pony just think, if you work 8 hours and the ai doubles your productivity, you can work 16 hours and quadruple it.

Hahahahahaha.
Analysis reveals that callers declare buffers of exactly 10 bytes, while the string requires 9 bytes (8 characters + null terminator), creating a dangerous off-by-one situation.

Survey says probably not.
Is TSLA going to hit $500 after hours?
Bruce Sterling's We See Things Differently reads like ISIS fanfic before there was ISIS. Visionary.
There really seems to be a fascination with Islamic culture in western sci-fi centered around 1990 or so.
Having wrested power from the Westoxicated atheist reductionists, we defended it in the teeth of economic and spiritual persecution. How many scoffing infidels were there at the time who forecast the inevitable collapse of what they called the "Muslim fanatics"? But where are those sorry infidels today? Dead and in hell!
Seeing an awful lot of vibe journalism in response to the AWS outage.
