Just thinking about better ways to penalize corporations that break the law.

Fines are trivial and never keep pace with reality. Instead, what if companies had to give back a chunk of shares to the government? Issuing new shares that dilute existing shareholder value, and making the govt part owners. Effectively, nationalize the company in degrees with every breach of trust.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MUNICH (June 15th, 2025) - FAFO e.V. has announced today that it has successfully observed quantum tunneling effects between a tungsten probe (made with a pair of pliers) and a brass plate in a DIY scanning tunneling microscope that one of its members built a decade ago.

"Oh, we are tunneling!", exclaimed @rahix, lead Rust developer at FAFO, having never done this sort of work in his life before. "I think we can work with it", he claimed with full confidence.

A tungsten probe in some hot glued holder, attached with piezo crystals to an aluminium frame. Tension springs in the background form part of a dampening system.Oscilloscope waveforms showing control loop working. Maybe.

Earlier this year, I sat down for an extended interview with Lex Friedman on a variety of topics in mathematics, proof formalization, and AI. The edited (and nicely illustrated) form of the video, clocking in at over three hours, is now available: youtube.com/watch?v=HUkBz-cdB-

i'm back on a self-hosted instance, so #introduction

i'm ezra/alexander, i'm a 20s-something guy living in the netherlands (contrary to domain name, not in noord-brabant)

you might know me under my art alias, blakeana/bauhinia bc that's how i sign my stuff - and yes i do draw!

you can find my work on my website, https://androcross.nl/

i'm a contributor to wafrn, mostly in the departments of localization and graphic assets

sometimes when i have the budget i love travelling across the country because trains are very comfy...

i am kbity and eal 🐈🦭

i am very gay and unapologetically male, do what you want with this information. transmasc activism and joy isn't transmisogynist nor enroaching on other queers' rights.

if you're a pedo/zoo/necro or sexualize child-like and animal characters (not anthro furries, that is)/genitalia because "it's fictional so it's fine" then get lost, eat shit and die. i have my opinions on that but also it's a deep fucking trigger for me.

i'm a sufferer of c-ptsd, bpd, autism and some other conditions that are a perfect mix for violent meltdowns. this *does* impact how i interact with others and i ask for your patience.

i don't bite, you can talk to me, i like making friends but please don't ghost me after a while

Putting aside everything else that's wrong with streaming platforms, why is there still no "Report" option in Tidal or Spotify? A quite regular occurence is artist pages and New Releases playlists including tracks from impersonators with the same name. Absolutely no way to fight it.

digging around in my 2K Marin-era (2008-ish) archives and came across this outstanding error message, props to whatever IT(?) person decided to phrase a simple seat license conflict as "Human Combat Required":

windows 98 style message box with titlebar text "Human Combat Required", message text: "The human at "NOVW-SGUTIERREZ" is attempting to use your license. To satisfy honor, you must defeat this human in physical combat! Failing that, you must obtain a new license."
standard windows "OK" button below.

Wir hatten ja auf dem Congress schon abgefahrene Kunstinstallationen. Doch das hier ist echt der Hammer, was ich da heute im Museum in sehen durfte. 😅

Die greifen die Daten der Bewegungssensoren einer echten Boje auf dem Meer ab und bilden das über die im Raum hängende Boje ab. 😅

Der Künstler heißt Julius von Bismarck.
Die Kunstinstallation wurde dieses Jahr im Sprengel Museum installiert.

A dilemma: most of the day was pretty bad, very low energy. But then I got to listen to some chiptunes on a computer that isn't supposed to play them, and got to run perl on the very same 8086 based computer under MS-DOS 3.20. So that counts as an awesome day, right? It must?!

not ONE Linux installer (ubuntu,fedora,alpine, popos) support customized layout with luks/lvm on existing partitioned disk. it's the whole disk or nothing.

I spent an unreasonable amount of time circumventing this limitation especially as i didn't want to reinstall and or bootstrap as i'm abroad. I had to do it anyway. Oh and GRUB is a piece of crap (what did they smoke???), how come every distro we didn't move yet full UKI?

I made my life difficult tbh, but i' m up and running.
