*talking to teenage militant atheist self*
current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church
teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government
current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one
Quote from an earlier comment: "Like Imagine if you were at the grocery store, blocking the isle, and someone lightly chimed a bell at you" Reply from user wffurr: "That sounds delightful. We should have more bells lightly chimed around us"
On HN, there's a discussion going on about the etiquette of bike bells, and the different cultural norms. Someone said this, and I couldn't agree more
I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.
Even before AI, it's been common for software to have clauses in their ToS where they say sth like "We have no responsibility for what happens as a result of running the software, ad claim no fit for any specific purpose." Because corporations hate taking responsibility ofr the stuff they put out.
"America will never give up the moon again.🤡"
What an embarrassing statement.🤦🏿♂️
What a scathing indictment of the childishness and futility of an anti-science nation being in a space race.
What does "give up the moon" even mean?
Other countries sending scientists while we angrily hug a moon flag.
I'm now thinking about Nasa landing a rocket in a moon crater in a whole new way.
Stop scrolling & post two characters who bring you happiness.
I'm by no means a fan of mindlessly plunking down datacenters all over the plac, but stuff like this just hurts your cause.
Sounds like they took the guide's advice with a grain of some kind of mineral.
I initially mised that I had to click a thing to import the people I follow, but now that I did, it's working super well!
I wanted to try this out, but after logging in, my bluesky handle is showing up as handle;invalid. I don't know enough about ATProto to fully understand what this means.
Can we make tactile buttons the "hot new hardware design trend for 2026?"

Glad to hear the folks at Serengeti Park in Germany have found a solution for the problem that was stopping Gozimba from opening. After even the ride's manufacturer threw in the towel. Excited to ride it some day either tis or next year.
Als ze het aan niet super-techy mensen vragen, en er niet bij zeggen of/dat google telt, denk ik dat die Google niet mee rekeknen.
I'm visually impaired, so I used macos's zoom efature to zoom in on the line once I had some idea where it was. Take that to judge my result any way you like.

When walking around the city by myself, I usually listen to some kind of audio. This morning, I was walking in a local park/small forest, and turned off the podcast. The next hour, I didn't feel any urge to turn it back on, and just listened to the birds. I think I should go for more morning walks.
If it's such an eyesore, just get some art students to turn them into something nice! But appreciating art is probably also too woke for them. www.stromnetz.berlin/en/for-berli...
I feel like it's time for Apple to start decoupling Safari versions from OS versions, so that users can keep using older OS versions, but still get newer web features.
I feel like gen alpha has ruined me. I can't hear someone casually say 6-7 minutes without some voice in my brain going "six seeeveen"
Airlines: "make sure to arrive 3 hours before your flight!!" 😡
Me, still in pajamas, 90 minutes before my flight: "I guess I'll start slowly heading out" 😴
Must be serious railing if it's a one-way trip.
For me, the biggest issue is when the result of an interaction happens completely outside the currently visible region, so you get no feedback that your interaction act(ually did anything. This especially applies to "toast" UIs that disappear before I have the chance to move the magnifier to them.
The section about tunnel vision also applies to users who use a screen magnifier. We only see a part of the screen, and have to consciously move that region around to get the full content.
Bijzonder wel, Epstein had een enorm netwerk van miljardairs, toppolitici en invloedrijke topondernemers die zich vergrepen aan jonge meisjes en toch worden we bang gemaakt voor de enge griezel uit een AZC die een uitzondering is en worden rijke en invloedrijke types verafgood in deze samenleving.
