Hackaday: DOOM Runs (slowly) In A IBM PC-Compatible CSS Sheet. “Just when you thought we’d run out of things to port DOOM to, here comes [Ahmed Amer] with his CSS-DOS, a massive 300 MB CSS style sheet, that runs not just DOS, but Windows 1.0 and, of course, DOOM. The CSS sheet isn’t holding a DOOM port this time, though — it’s holding a full IBM PC compatible, with a simulated 8086, 640 […]

Mashable: Metaverse team told to work ‘five times’ faster with AI. “In an internal message obtained by 404 Media, Meta’s VP of Metaverse, Vishal Shah, apparently told the Metaverse team to work five times faster with AI. ‘Think 5X, not 5 percent,’ a graphic in the note included.”

More Nonsense
About six years ago I wrote a post that described my bewilderment at things not making sense and it included my discombobulation at the sight of shoes thrown over power lines.
Well, today, I saw some more shoes thrown over power lines, and the things that didn’t make sense six years ago make even less sense today. Sean Spicer isn’t dancing with the stars any more, but the Alberta government is still spending more time and energy on national politics than provincial concerns. Sigh. I thought at the time that we had reached maximum ridiculousness but I was clearly too optimistic.
Here are some high-flung shoes.

A quotation from Nicolas Chamfort
The most absurd customs and the most ridiculous ceremonies are everywhere excused by an appeal to the phrase, but that’s the tradition. This is exactly what the Hottentots say when Europeans ask them why they eat grasshoppers and devour their body lice. That’s the tradition, they explain.
[Les coutumes les plus absurdes, les étiquettes les plus ridicules, sont en France et ailleurs sous la protection de ce mot: c’est l’usage. C’est précisément ce même mot que répondent les Hottentots, quand les Européens leur demandent pourquoi ils mangent des sauterelles, pourquoi ils dévorent la vermine dont ils sont couverts. Ils disent aussi: c’est l’usage.]Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 3, ¶ 249 (1795) [tr. Mathers (1926)]Sourcing, notes, other translations: wist.info/chamfort-nicolas/377…

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
We are never so ridiculous through what we are as through what we pretend to be.
