Today I learned about this!

It's the first accurate image of a black hole, created by astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978, using an IBM 7040 computer with punch cards and plotting it out by hand with India ink.

A black and white image. A bunch of white dots form the accretion disk of the black hole, and some are visible above and below the event horizon due to gravitational lensing. There's even a ring to show the photon sphere that would be exceedingly close to the event horizon, where photons travel in an orbit around the black hole before ejecting off into space or getting lost below the event horizon. I would presume the values are inverted to make it look like white on black.

first impressions of the remarkable 2- amazing for note taking, sketching, and reading manga. file import and export works without cloud sync but i had to manually convert and process manga into pdf form to import them. only played with the remouse script (tablet input over ssh) for a minute but it works pretty well. blog post probably incoming once i get a bit more time with it

re: more uxncard madness

@d6 @neauoire i unironically already did this a couple years ago (and still use it as my daily driver email client), although with a 200 line crystal program doing the heavy lifting and just using varvara as a graphics toolkit. you could probably port the crystal backend to uxn11 in a day or 2 :p

i think im gonna table indie software dev for a while and focus on djing and illustration in my free time. part of it is that my computers and the software i use "just work" at this point and when im using my laptop for art i get the most joy out of it; the other part is that ideally id like to pivot out of this hellish profession before im forced to for not drinking the koolaid...

ddg's anomaly detection is really starting to piss me off

my 2 year hrt-iversiry is coming up and has me thinking. before, i was always so lanky (regardless of how much i ate, i could not put on fat if i tried) and felt so disconnected from my body and my emotions, to the point i did keto for 5 years just to feel some form of fucked up control and connection to my body and was constantly suppressing my emotions through cannabis and alcohol. now i feel at home in my skin, with soft flesh in all the right spots and a nice rack, and my emotional connection to myself and others is salient to the point i found it easy to quit drinking and no longer smoke weed with any regularity. when i started this journey i had no idea that i would be so happy with all these changes - i orginally thought i just wanted hair reduction and the other effects were "if that happens i guess its ok". but you cant fake it. the truth will set you free

There is a counter-campaign to call the payment processors and demand they reverse the censorship, see here for who to call and write https://bsky.app/profile/meltingcomet.com/post/3luqlzgxkz222

A lot of these payment processors are headquartered in California. If you're a vendor that's been discriminated against (for example, if you're an LGBTQ artist whose content has been censored) you can file a civil rights complaint at https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/complaintprocess/

New California state law may also be needed to require large payment processors to accept payments for any legal business, similar to how a utility or railroad have to serve everyone. Talk to your state legislators. 4/

are you using the new command? it's in unetconfd. it's literally on sysptkm. it's configurable via xchwnt. it's literally under /usr/share/pnetdx2. you can probably grep for the qvjconf. you can update it via bungpkg. update via bungpkg. fetch it with bungpkg. you can bungpkg it. bungpkg has it for you. bungpkg has it for you.

This is what the NY Times chose to highlight from the Netanyahu/Trump meeting, compared to Al Jazeera.

You decide which is the important news.

Two headlines: from the NYTimes and Al Jazeera. "Netanyahu, Trump discuss forced transfer of Palestinians out of Gaza" and "Netanyahu releases letter nominating Trump for Nobel Peace Prize"

I love how smart these AI technologies are. They understand that "bigger" for cities can be ambiguous, refer to either the population or the area. It's also great that it's showing the sources in the upper corner, and displaying the basic facts.

Small minus on consistency and correctness, but other than that, really a great answer.
