The wire will cause the entire image to become a little bit darker.
in a telescope light travels in many paths from start to finish. so a single wire will have a very soft shadow, which stretches over the entire image. This works because the wire is well within the focal length. If the wire was exactly at the focal length, it’s shadow would be sharp, but the farther away it is from the focal length, the softer the shadow will become

when people post cropped porn, they should also post which porn they cropped, so people know which porn to avoid.
- Comment on 700+ self-hosted Git instances battered in 0-day attacks 2 weeks ago:
Here are the steps:
- The attacker creates a standard Git repository.
- They commit a single symbolic link pointing to a sensitive target.
- Using the PutContents API, they write data to the symlink. The system follows the link and overwrites the target file outside the repository.
- By overwriting .git/config (specifically the sshCommand), the attacker can force the system to execute arbitrary commands–
amazing.
- Comment on Gravity! 3 weeks ago:
funfact: because water itself has weight, it produces gravity, therefore it pulls more water towards itself, therefore more water collects in some parts of the world than other.
for example: most of the extra water that comes from global warmings, collects at the pacific because it has a larger surface, therefore US Eastcoast and Europe see very little change in sealevel, while some pacific islands are already gone.
epistemic status: I remember reading this info a couple years ago, but the best source I can found now is that sentence from wikipedia:
Changing ice masses also affect the distribution of sea water around the globe through gravity en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise

draw something from memory on a piece of paper, and then draw the same thing again while looking on a photo. --> can you tell the difference between the two drawings?

huh. I assumed the story is finished, since the last episode of the anime does good job of closing the story. Guess I was wrong though.
also:
A third season is set to premiere in October 2026. An anime film is set to premiere in Japan in December 2026.

I’m not asking you to spend all day trying to clean the park but you should at least do your best to not make it worse
that is a useful mindset for those who fear a systemic solution.
the people who would have to organise instead spend their effort on other things, like cleaning up dog shit; Or arguing how much shit you need to clean up, before you are morally allowed to advokate for a systemic solution.
the more the anti-dogshitters are splintered, the easier it is for the pro-dogshitters to keep the status quo
