@scottmiller42 Just gonna leave this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Defenders_(short_story)

@djb @HalvarFlake it's so close to logos sun actually used!

Neat, CERN added a bunch of KiCad components and footprints:

Uncoordinated 0day local root announcement as advertising. This aught to be an actual crime.

Wired has an article about xAI's new power plant, and it includes the image below (which I have cropped liberally, see the article linked below for attribution). I just about lost my tea.

@mattdm I kinda think that modern chemical and computational genomics must have left traditional theory-based evolutionary biologists feeling pretty used and abused, and that's left him grasping for a place in the world.

But also the guy is just a huge dickbag who not only hasn't done anything worthwhile since 1975 but also puts a bad name to everything he gets involved with.

@davidgerard not exactly the dumbest shit, but you see this? https://www.science.org/content/article/deepfakes-are-everywhere-godfather-digital-forensics-fighting-back?utm_campaign=Science+Magazine

@eloy it is the oldest comms system currently in commercial use, and it will outlive us all.

@piratenpanda If you still need them, https://blog.uncooperative.org/~pjones/z8-images/DSC_3942.JPG / https://blog.uncooperative.org/~pjones/z8-images/DSC_3942.NEF

@federicomena @cwebber Except the "at scale" part is a bit of an illusion. It's a one-off with resources almost no other project can hope to have in the near term.

It's a new month, so I've said a thing about Secure Boot here: https://blog.uncooperative.org/uefi/secure%20boot/linux/shim/2026/05/05/shim-info.html

@doyle.boston Doesn't have a strong grasp on capital letters, either. Also uses a ton of them.

@MrWho @literatesavant @tubetime that's what I was thinking as well - maybe some kind of minor conformance workaround.

@hacks4pancakes such a simple machine...

@ancientjames Great Pepper's Ghost!

@SnoopJ yeah there's some lessons here that didn't get learned.

"status.bsky.app is taking too long to respond."

Fucking gold right there.

@lkundrak @mattdm At the end of the day we're talking about weird levels of either or both production and reuptake of two different neurotransmitters, so it's a 4 variable problem that's completely in the analog domain. So it's not surprising the field of experiences is pretty evenly spread within the common results.

Netgear is the first consumer router company to spam me about being compliant with Trump's FCC's policies.

Coincidentally they're also a company I stopped buying routers from many years ago due to built-in backdoors they couldn't fix with a firmware upgrade.
