You’re using teams. Modern teams is built on Skype, which is why it’s shit.

Ah, the optical illusion approach. It’s a sweet pic, thanks for sharing.

OK, I’ll bite - how did you not get reflected in the mirror at the end of the hallway?

Actually, MythBusters proved that one couldn’t happen, unless the bullets were sub-sonic or low-powered and the diver was within 1 or 2 foot of the surface… water’s just too dense and depletes the power. And something higher power just made a big splash and bits of shrapnel that didn’t have much penetrating power.

You mean 2^267,709?

Funny… that’s a phone number I know.

I went with floorp, because it allowed native title bar disabling, with task bar editing so I could inject a grab handle; vertical tabs in sidebery, and a clean, nearly-ui-free vertical.

I’ve nothing against the page having more technical farther down the page… I’ve done that with some computing articles that I’m qualified to talk about - simplify the description for the layman, put the technical description underneath…

Math nerds just don’t.

Aw, crapitalism will break because line cannot always go up.

Cry me a fucking river. Humanity is a cancer, and we need to be about half our current population. Yeah, we’re not gonna like it when we drop that population. Our kids, my daughter, are going to have it fucking tough. But if we want to survive long term… We gotta stop.

An illuminated walkway over a railway… I like the way the lights should only illuminate the path, and not spill over to over light the sky (at least, too much).

Picturesque image, thanks for sharing.

I’m academia? How about Wikipedia, an encyclopedia that should be written (at least at synopsis level) clearly and for the casual reader. However, anything mathematics related and… Fuck you, you don’t know how to calculate an integral? Git gud, scrub.

Visually, at least on the outside, it looks something like a Stottie, Oggie or Pastie from the farming/mining areas of the UK. I always find it fascinating to see the convergent evolution of this sort of food - edible with one hand, hot and filling, with a crust that can be discarded if hands are filthy, or et if not.

It was a term coined to describe the step-by-step process modern tech platforms go through:

1. be good, get customers, grow
2. get large enough to corner market, concentrate on profits
3. get large enough to move to politicise their approach, drive out competition through aggressive tactics, and lock in consumers
4. drive more profit through dark patterns and ensure nobody wins but the stakeholders

It’s specifically that, and there wasn’t a word that described that process previously, as it’s only something that’s possible in a modern, “web scale” worldwide platform.

Crepuscular. Related to twilight, dimness, the golden hour.

Lol :⁠-⁠D I was referencing the comic, but… Heh, that’s amusing.

This will haunt you for years to come… It’s seriously creepy. Brilliant, and if you’re into that a masterpiece of it’s art…

But very, very creepy.

I like this picture. The blur, the background bokeh, it’s just… Nice.

Thanks for posting, you’ve a nice cat.

Hah, with you on that… I kind of like that the shield is directional, and if you’re facing the wrong way, suck it…

Yeah.

Been there… Last night, in fact. Sleep timer went off, quarter to eleven. Just took about an hour to download gow: ragnarok on pc, had half an hour playing. “Ok, just a few minutes…”

3am this morning… “Ok, I’m now impaired enough that I’m fucking fights up… Better go to bed.”

As “three dead trolls in a baggie” famously sung… “Every OS Sucks”.

As true today as when it was first penned.

No worries… It’s a pretty obscure math joke anyway :⁠-⁠P
