I unironically love how weird this house is. Do you like angles? WE'VE GOT ANGLES.

Elon Musk's long-promised lobotomy of Grok has arrived. His chatbot seems to have been ordered to sing his praises in a way that any normal person would find obscene.
Grok seems to be required to output that Musk is a paragon of fitness, and one of the most intelligent people in human history. These posts are absolutely embarrassing for him.

Heute kein Salz gekauft.
Personal hat umsortiert uns selbst nicht gewusst wohin
Immer schön umsortieren, dann wird mehr gekauft, ggf wo anders

Them: Huh? Why don't you own a cell phone?
Me: Why don't you own an automatic electric banana roaster?
Them: ... what?
Me: Exactly.

Windows does update.
Now opens Game Bar when webcam turns on.
Industrial paper cutter uses a webcam to detect registration dots.
Game Bar opens on every sheet feed.
I swear half of admin work in 2025 is slapping windows' fingers away from the controls. No! Bad OS. BAD!

Pro: AfD hat die Rechte an ihrem Logo verloren
Contra: Das Logo ist einfach Optischer-Abfall und nicht nutzbar
Dear People of Brazil: We, Germans, are very sorry for these arrogant, rascist and stupid things our (not loved) chancellor told you about #Brasil & your city #Belém - most of us didn't vote for him. He is a constant nuisance and says mean things even about German cities and is absolutely wrong about migration, climate crisis and its solutions. I often get woozy shaking my head just listening to news.
So, pls forgive us - our country Germany. We all do hope our head of gov will retire VERY soon.
Wir verabschieden uns an dieser Stelle von Arduino.
Die Enshittifizierung unter Qualcomm ging dann doch etwas schneller als erwartet. Aber hey, war eine schöne Zeit.
"users are now explicitly forbidden from reverse-engineering or even attempting to understand how the platform works unless Arduino gives permission. That’s a profound shift for a brand long embraced by educators, makers, researchers, and open-source advocates."
Look on the bright side - it's a DORK TOWER THURSDAY! Contemplative new strip up now, at the Mothership:

Repost, Reblog/Re-whatevs/Repeat, please and thank you!
@cstross What a ridiculous premise. (J/k)
Obviously Microsoft would take over Jotunheimr instead of the Summer Kingdom. Lots of ice means saving money cooling the racks, and the rugged terrain is perfect for hydropower.
Brb, writing the next Thor script where the ice giants demand his help cleansing their lands of the human menace...
The silverware at Buckingham Palace was particularly good in the 1990s. I like the pastry fork I pilfered. I always give it to my sister when her family come over for tea.
I feel this needs to be repeated 🍪
The annoyance of cookie banners
doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.
No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
Simple.
My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.
Yours shouldn't either.
Never seen any 8track-devices in the wild, much less recently
But then I'm from the german region that was GDR. If we had cars in those days, they came without radios.
My own first car (inherited from my grandfather, who bought it used) was a VW Golf 2 (yes, that was after 2000) and read MC
F2 und besser, E-Mount, alles an Sensorgrößen außer APS-C ausgewählt (nein, es gibt nicht einfach "mach mal Vollformat", sagte ich ja bereits), Brennweite kleiner/gleich 18mm und Preis bis 600€.
Resultat?
4 Ergebnisse
- ein APS-C-Objektiv von AstrHori
- zwei mal das gleiche 16mm von Sirui (16mm, T1,2)
- ein Viltrox (16mm F1.8)
Ich mein… ich kann den Preis-Parameter weglassen, dann bekomm ich noch ein Sony 16mm F1.8 G (900€), 4 Gerte von Sigma im 4-Stelligen Preisbereich (15mm F1.4 für 2100 klingt etwas absurd für mich?)
Aber das ist an Angebot schon sehr… dünn?
Bei 35+mm scheißen dich die Chinesen mit Zeugs zu, 85mm F1.8 oder gar F1.4? Kein Problem für unter 500€ mit AF.
APS-C in 25mm? (also ähnlich optisches Resultat, nur billiger/leichter) Da kannst du einfache Sachen in F2 für 50€ und weniger erhalten!
Aber alles Vollformatige unterhalb 35mm? Kauft wohl keiner?
