The officially best news of the $interval:
World of Goo 2 is now out (and you can buy it directly from the publisher, DRM free):
I just watched Matt Denton’s video making his scaled-up Lego motorbike, which I got to ride at @emf
I really like the way the couple of necessary bits of metal support have been disguised!

I will remind the world yet again: the Luddites were a labor movement, concerned with workers' safety and lifestyle, they were not anti technology.
They are the literal heroes of that story.
I just re-watched some of @breakingtaps videos and it gave me the motivation to really push on with my own projects. To see someone build their own fricking microchip semiconductors and still sometimes make oopsies that could have (in hindsight) easily been prevented makes me more confident about making mistakes.
We generally see only the finished projects and a straight path to the end result when other people present their hobby projects. However, i am completely sure that each and everyone, even the most skilled, cannot have their projects succeed in one single try. _Especially_ when those projects push against the boundaries of their skill set and knowledge.
Go ahead and be proud of your mistakes, it means that you learned something. Write bad code, make mistakes in your PCBs, blow up some transistors, get the polarity wrong on ICs. It does not make you bad at what you do!!! I dont know who needs to hear this but I certainly do.
Really, really cool video around building a micron pitch lithography machine in your garage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuVS7MsQk4Y

If Codeberg is trying to "compete" against GitHub and GitLab, why does it refuse to take a look at AI assistants? Apart from infringing on authors' rights and questionable output quality, we think that the current hype wave led by major companies will leave a climate disaster in its wake: https://disconnect.blog/generative-ai-is-a-climate-disaster/
Other _sustainable_ (and cheaper!) ways for increasing efficiency in software development exist: In-project communication, powerful automation pipelines and reducing boilerplate.

The cybersecurity expert SwiftOnSecurity, a decade ago, wrote a parable called "A Story About Jessica" and posted it to their (now-deleted) Tumblr blog. I found it moving and insightful.Cogito, Ergo Sumana

Wondering what exactly happened to my lovely beach weather this #FursuitFriday...

IF YOU ARE EUROPEAN HOLY FUCK PLEASE SUPPORT THIS
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
This initiative calls to require publishers that sell or license videogames to consumers in the European Union (or related features and assets sold for videogames they operate) to leave said videogames in a functional (playable) state.
To be successful, a European citizens' initiative has to reach one million statements of support as well as minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries.

This is why, when posts come round saying a particular person should be ignored or banned, or no one should do business with a particular artist, or a server ought to be defederated, or a company should be boycotted, or whatever else, even if there are links to "receipts" (which are usually very inconclusive and would require me to know the people involved or at least the community they interact with to know what's "normal" there), it's often entirely meaningless to me. But it sometimes takes up a fair bit of my personal bandwidth to figure out that it's something I can't make a call on while I'm scrolling through my timeline.
Do I hear "90s Boyband CD album" cover?
No!? Okay, it's just #fursuitfriday then.

I'm thinkin' they don't want to be brought "down" to what they think is our level.
We are all weird. Some of us just really don't want to believe it.
Yes, there is absolutely healthy weird and toxic weird (just like everything else).
Yeah, that's the thing. They're weird, just like us. That is the one thing a fascist cannot under any circumstances admit, that they share something in common with everyone else. If they could not delude themselves into thinking they are different from their pawns, then they'd have to admit that being fascist is a really fucking bad idea. It's all about dehumanizing us, so that we're not people, we're just useful tools to them, and machines.
In 2008, when Senator Conroy was trying to fuck over the Internet, Geordie wanted to show the absurdity of the “Refused Classification” category.
It was already illegal to publish RC material in Australia, but hardly anyone knew what what it meant. So he illustrated it. Literally.
One of the criteria for RC is “publications which are intended to instruct in the commission of a crime against the Commonwealth.” Obviously intended by wowsers to censor information about how to cook meth or whatever, but people who wrote the rules weren’t very precise and they cast an absolutist net.
In his various travels, Geordie had discovered that it’s a Commonwealth crime to graze livestock on the Parliament House lawns in Canberra.
So he commissioned an artist to draw a cartoon which provided step by step instructions to teach the reader how to transport a herd of giraffe to the ACT, tether them on the roof of APH, and induce them to eat.
He published the giraffe cartoon on one of his blogs and publicly dared ACMA to issue a takedown notice, which they declined to do, proving that ACMA was arbitrarily and selectively enforcing a very clear cut online content regulation, perhaps making them poor custodians of the power to determine whether the Christian lobby could successfully ban abortion information.
He LOVED finding weird loopholes like this. We’d spend ages on the phone cackling about how to exploit the most absurdly obscure regs to humiliate the regulator. Top shelf.
I make my own fidget toys. My favourite is this MASSIVE NUT you can spin on your fingers.
If you want one, the files are on thingiverse: https://thingiverse.com/thing:6143237
A massive nut that spins on your finger.You will need:1 x M36 nut (e.g. this one)1 x 6804 ball bearing. I highly recommend using a fully ceramic bearing for maximum spinning times (e.g. this one or this one)2 x of these things printed.Thingiverse
