FCC approves giant space mirror as astronomers warn of risks to the night sky - The Brighter Side of News
> So how long before they turn it into a weapon of war? Why does just the FCC need to approve this? Shouldn't it be agreed internationally?

Scan a QR code to prove you're human sounds like one of the most asinine ridiculous things I've ever heard of. A total oxymoron and yet whoever was in charge of this project at Google was blind to how dumb an idea it was.
PS: Captchas are mostly a scam now anyway. They stopped keeping the bots out years ago and are now just another tracking tool

Good morning, friends. 🤔💡☕
11 June 2025
A few days ago, I spent some time trying to figure out how to make a custom emoji—even considered downloading an app for it. But then it occurred to me that a custom emoji wouldn’t be much use if I were the only one who had it, so that escapade ended there. Strange thoughts happen, don’t they?
Once, years ago, during an ice storm, the electricity was out for a week. We had a fireplace but no chainsaw. All the gas-powered ones in stores were sold out, so I came up with what I thought was a clever solution—an electric chainsaw. After all, I had an extension cord. Luckily, my wife put an end to ‘Operation Chainsaw’ before it began. Oh, and in case you're wondering, we didn’t have a generator either.

So the new German "digital minister" say the country needs a #GermanyStack to achieve #DigitalSovereignty.
I'll do you one better: we should do a #Bavaria Stack, a #Berlin Stack and a #Köln Stack at least. They all want to be sovereign!

Hey, if you like electronica, maybe you’ll spare a couple of minutes to check out this track we are building? It’s the first 2/3 of the song with no vocals yet. Feedback is welcome. #elecronica #electro #pdx #dumbideas

Larry Ellison is mad that everybody’s forgotten he’s a cartoon villain billionaire, too.

No, JD Vance. You can't raise my taxes just because I don't have kids. That's fucking stupid, discriminatory, and mean-spirited.

@PJ_Evans @lauren Someone "needs" to make a rotary dial attachment to snap onto any smartphone with an accompanying app (It could be universal and work on all devices by using the accelerometer or microphone to count the ticks of the rotor unwinding)

AI powered smoothies is a dumb idea. Also, food service is hard work and low margin, something the tech bros here obviously missed in their biz plan.
I love this quote from Daniel Sider, the chief of staff of SF planning dept.
““While the failure of San Francisco’s generative AI blockchain-powered autonomous 5G smoothie bot may be splashy, in no way is it a bellwether for downtown.”

ok so like, could you FFT an input sample, take the 3 peak frequencies in the sample, and punch them to the 3-voice channels and do FM synthesis on the SN796 emulator

Wait... Does that mean I'll receive a letter from #ElonMusk to take down my X server?

There’s only one reason why you’d hold a Congressional hearing at night. Only one. Right now, aside from C-SPAN (which would have been rerunning the hearing at this hour anyway) absolutely no one on TV is carrying it. You can watch it on CNBC, but not over the air. Over the air right now, CNBC is carrying SHARK TANK. You can watch it on CNBC online or you can watch it on YouTube. I hope whatever genius made this decision is very satisfied with himself. #DumbIdeas #TheWholeWorldIsNotWatching

@AAKL @Engadget Speaking purely as as an infrastructure guy, you don't need an infrastructure team - that equipment never fails...
