regarding forkiverse.. i would be very wary of pj vogt and sruthi pinnamaneni given their past history on race in the workplace and labor as a whole. and welcoming taylor lorenz with open arms.

@futurebird i'm not sure that any game had a more profound influence on me as a 12 year old than SimAnt. sometimes i think about how it's almost criminal how completely ignored in the Maxis catalogue (like SimLife) it is.

i think the people who decided phones and other devices dont need 3.5mm headphone jacks need to be subjected to some greek myth style punishment

In other words, Bluesky are collaborating with racist violent thugs and murderers.

(Bluesky Corporation were already hosting the White House (https://bsky.app/profile/whitehouse-47.bsky.social), the Department of War (https://bsky.app/profile/deptofwar.bsky.social), JD Vance (https://bsky.app/profile/jd-vance-1.bsky.social), Homeland Security (https://bsky.app/profile/homelandgov.bsky.social) etc. This is a long-term collaboration with Trump admin.)

In honor of Meta's latest announcement, a thread on 175 years of 3D failure.

Let's first go all the way back to 1851 with the Brewster Stereoscope. No less a person than Queen Victoria was impressed, kicking off a fad that quickly sold over 250,000 units. Turns out it was not the future of photography.

Always thought they didn't like the "Black" but it turns out they also don't like the "lives matter" part either.

the real reason to learn like 12 languages is so you can know how to correctly pronounce all the words and names in those languages that are presented innocently as though they are normal english words that follow normal english rules of pronunciation

Doing some computer maintenance for the first time in ages. Grub has been like this for literally years and I’ve been just sort of living with it. I’d kind of like to fix it but I have no idea how.

EDIT: fixed now, thanks for the suggestions! It was a resolution problem, fixed in the grub configuration!

For #FungiFriday, with a hint of #Mosstodon and a fresh-fern-frond.

Y'all. This is where the "we must have Greenland" idea came from AND WHY.

Lauder and Trump went to college together.
Lauder now owns commercial property in Greenland.
Lauder is one of the businessmen pushing Trump's desire for rare earth minerals in Ukraine.

He claims he's planning to open a "boutique water" company, but look at what he really bought: an abandoned school riddled with black mold. Odd choice, right? Not based on it's location. It's an ideal spot for surveillance on the harbor below and next to communication towers.

Look at his business partners: he's trying to get in with "the Greenland elite" aka wealthy. One of his business partners is married to Greenland's Foreign Minister.
