My favorite was the Northern Telecom DisplayPhone with the pull out keyboard. This was way before the internet, we used a proprietary email system named CoCoS (Corporate Communications System), PCs weren’t really a thing yet…

you can do anything at zombocom. Anything at all! the only limit is yourself (again, in the zohran campaign meme)

Cursed idea I had. If this comes across your feed, sorry not sorry

First day of 5-day RTO, it's a miracle the building didn't crumple. For a few hours in the middle of the day we got to listen to DJ waterhammer rocking the entire floor.

Supreme Court rejects call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide The Supreme Court has rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

Sure, but it'd be a nontrivial cost for the cable, extra set of contactors to isolate the unused port so there isn't 900V chilling on exposed pins, all together thousands $ for a very trivial convenience.

The conductors are most of the expense for such a harness, both to the OBC and the DC contactor. 388 amps needs a chunky cross-section of copper.

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.

Pick the internet archive service that respects your trans friend's right to privacy.

Since they were such sticklers for that information for no reason, I can only imagine what they're doing with access logs and whatever else they're collecting.

For this reason, I discourage friends from using it. Use the wayback machine instead at archive.org, backed by a nonprofit library.

Archive\.is / archive\.today's policy of non-removal and ignoring signposts makes it a favorite among serial doxers and harassers targeting trans ppl.

For years the site refused to answer DNS resolvers that didn't hand over invasive geo EDNS info, anyone on 1.1.1.1 couldn't get to the site

AI Is Supercharging the War on Libraries, Education, and Human Knowledge "Fascism and AI, whether or not they have the same goals, they sure are working to accelerate one another."

Librarians told 404 Media they are being inundated with new pitches for AI library tech and catalogs are being flooded with AI slop books that they need to wade through. AI maximalism across society is supercharging the ideological war on libraries, schools, academics
