I don’t know what this fruit is called! The waiter at breakfast told me the Vietnamese name but I’ve since forgotten 😂 
Saw this thing today 🧐 
Prof. Bigode mandou na outra rede:
“Lamento informar o falecimento do matemático catalão Claudi Alsina (1952-2025), foi dos maiores popularizadores da Matemática da España e do mundo. Alsina conhecido por seu humor refinado tinha uma vasta cultura, doutorou-se em Matemática pela Universidade de Barcelona e ao longo de sua vida acadêmica aproximou a Matemática de outras áreas do conhecimento, em especial a Arquitetura e o Design, fez parte da equipe que estudou os projetos de Gaudí para a reconstrução da Sagrada Família de Barcelona. Alsina era professor catedrático Universidade Politécnica da Catalunha, onde se aposentou, autor de mais de 50 livros sobre Matemática Recreativa, Cultura Matemática, Matemática para o Ensino Superior e para a Formação de Professores.
Sou “bi-neto acadêmico” de Alsina que foi orientador de meus orientadores (de doutorado) e desde que o conheci há cerca de 30 anos tenho me inspirado em seu trabalho.
Para quem sabe do que estou falando, Alsina tinha número de Erdős = 2.”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see problems with that, yes. Case in point:

this is apparently a famous lake in Hanoi city in Vietnam. Don’t know what it’s called though.

Tired to re-enable the Ege route to git.mills.io today (after finishing work) and this is what I found 🤯 Tehse asshole/cunts are still at it !!! 🤬 – So let’s instead see if this works:
$ host git.mills.io 1.1.1.1
Using domain server:
Name: 1.1.1.1
Address: 1.1.1.1#53
Aliases:
git.mills.io is an alias for fuckoff.mills.io.
fuckoff.mills.io has address 127.0.0.1

Oh fuck me! I had basically turned off the route to git.mills.io last night and went ot bed at ~2AM after unsuccessfully trying to control the attacks (bad bots) that were behaving like a DDoS attack. Tried to re-enable the route this monring and *BOOM, they’re back! As-if they never stopped?! what da actual fuq?!
Anyone have any clever ideas of what I can do here to allows normal users, like you nice folk and block ths obnoxious traffic?!
Fark me again with the bots. This time DDoS-style crawling from hundreds of IPs and dozens of ASN(s) wtf?!

S - move from flat design to more detailed, 3D, more complex logos.
A - glass, not just liquid, Windows Vista, 7, 11,… accessibility concerns, but I like to see it.
B-/C+ - black and white icons, favicons. I did it before it was cool, but it’s getting overused.
E - gradientslop, barely started, already all blends together.

This was a bit of a challenge. Wanted to see if I can make a small version, combining the best/most interesting parts, of the previous ones. Like the black lines separating each colour, an interesting pose, more anatomically correct legs… something of a best of the 2025, profile picture.

Triad Prague, is perhaps the only mainstream “Contemporary advertising” company, who fucking AI generates “pixelart” and everyone there is either too blind, dumb, or lazy, to at the very least, align the pixels, to a grid (or even check they’re square, the same size,…anything really).

I guess they must have some remains of shame and self preservation instinct, that made them sweep these off their portfolio website and set the video ads with them, to “Private” on YouTube.
https://youtu.be/s7GZK8FGRvA
But sadly not enough shame, to stop putting these on billboards, I have to see on daily basis and making new versions of them, with different inconsistent styles, of badly AI generated “pixelart”!

I checked their website, this is their footer, with the text that always overlaps - maybe they also never heard about CSS, can’t blame them, it’s only been a thing, since 1996.

Hoje o Público explica que o “Populismo [do Chega] dá-se melhor com o espaço televisivo”, como se fosse um fenómeno natural que por acaso se ajusta às condições existentes.
Ontem no café de uma freguesia periférica pude ver o canal Now e o seu analista internacional Ireneu Teixeira (com carteira de jornalista) a dizer, em tom desvairado, que “toda a gente sabe que a flotilha é financiada pelo Hamas” e que os ativistas são terroristas. E toda a gente no café a assentir.
O fact-checking não toca nos jornalistas e os media estabelecidos continuam mudos quanto a estes órgãos oportunistas e ultra-tendenciosos. Não sei se é corporativismo, mas parece q a esfera jornalística continua determinada em apresentar o Chega como um fenómeno natural quando o seu sucesso é claramente reforçado por políticas editoriais comprometidas e incontestadas pelo meio.
