Microsoft Visio is literally optimised for stress.
Somehow they've taken the pain of tables in word and thought; how can we make this more infuriating.

Moreso than ever local newspaper comments show people getting so close to understanding the ill effects of unchecked capitalism "was always much bigger and cheaper when I was a kid, everywhere is like this now".
Hmm. What could the common factor here be....

There should be a legitimate emphasis on charities moving to target the ultra rich for supporting those in need. Asking your average person to foot the bill for the hole left from corporate greed is just insane. We shouldn't, as a society, be seeing this as Ok.

@npcollapse.bsky.social Idk if you're actually on this platform but if you are; have you got any idea where a safety engineer with a knowledge of X risk and AI can actually help impact AI safety. Every org I've spoken to to date treats this as interesting comp-sci and it's driving me mad.

@nygbcpod.bsky.social hearing chadtrads, tradcaths and radtrads so many times in this episode made me eventually hear it only in the style of the Simpsons "BiMonSciFiCon" - leading to what would be the worst convention to attend ever.

@nygbcpod.bsky.social just listened to your latest episode and you gotta help me understand how the mental gymnastics between "free speech" and "capitalist private platform, we can do whatever the fuck we want" is traversed by these nutjobs. Their complaining is breaking my brain 😭

Breakthroughs in material science aside, my cat has just woke up from a 4 hour nap and has just fallen back to sleep as a result of being so tired.... Presumably from napping.
It's hard being a science cat.

It wasn't until face mask wearing was just sensible rather than essential that I realised just how gross public spaces can be. I'm not a germophobe but man a 6hr trip on a train showed me the worst humanity has to offer.

One upside of changes to the Reddit API, Twitter being so toxic and Bluesky not having a while bunch of users is that my consumption of social media has decreased exponentially in the past week.

Not sure what the future of this platform looks like but the history of cyber security issues has taught me that if you can take a high-value handle you probably shouldn't lest you get sim-swapped. If *could* be solved on this decentralised platform but frankly I didn't want to risk it.

I've carried out a whole bunch of safety investigations over the years but I don't think I've ever attributed something to "dangerous geometry".
