@npub1mmf…eknq I'm of the opinion that everyone should have a version of that thing. Civilians deserve not to be blown up and that's one of the rare purely-defensive weapons.

Idea: open-source humanism as a non-profit
"Here's our balance sheets, here's our quarterly targets, here's our demographic research and impact studies, here's our projections, here's our progress with active campaigns and emerging strategies and milestone events and post-mortems."
It would be about getting involved and improving the underlying system designed for maximal social uplift. It would not be about donations fed into a black-box and sold with a slogan.

Had a meeting with my much younger project coworkers where I had to explain what HeadOn was (I wanted to allay their fears of not being good enough at justifying our little senior design invention/experiment).
Our product may not be useful, but it will be more justifiable than a homeopathic glue stick you rub on your forehead.

Dear body,
When I laid down a half hour before normal, it was not an invitation to you to take a two-hour nap before waking up feeling fully alert and refreshed at 1 in the morning.
Thank you for understanding my concerns, and may we find agreement in our future endeavors.

My question is, are earbud opiners as common as the people who try to make small-talk with people wearing earbuds? I feel we should be matching these people up.

I wish we'd being back the word permille as well as introduce the use of permicro.
"15.4 out of 100,000" is such a cumbersome way of relaying a population statistic. Make it "154 permicro" instead.

Idea: a cremation service that harnesses the energy released from their customers to generate and store electricity that can then be used by their family and friends as they deem appropriate.
Addendum: use the energy to power a laser and send your loved one on an infinite journey among the stars. From their perspective, time itself will forever stand still.

Has anyone else experienced seeing normal photographs and feeling a sense that they look like AI fakes? Something about motion-blurred areas seems to trigger a visceral response.
As someone who used to be a photographer, I wonder if avoiding that confusion will become a part of the conscious framing of photos in the future -- a deliberate reduction of self-expression to avoid appearing inauthentic.

Now for something completely different in the realm of engineering: The Voxon Photonics #Volumetric Display
https://youtu.be/8h6uZK1Cey8
I had no idea someone was producing a 3D display with an oscillating platter. It's much quieter than I would have guessed! Great attenuation for such rapid motion. I imagine a light vacuum and aerogel supports could get the noise floor even lower if heat retention allows for it.

@npub1aka…zzz2 The math on this was quite easy (if unpleasant) for me:
Point 1) We're engaged by proxy in the wholesale devastation of 2.3 to 5.3 million people. Our current regime finds this unsavory but acceptable.
Point 2) Deposing our current regime accepts the devastation of those same people, as well as the 15% identifying as non-cishet, the 40% identifying as non-white, and the 65% who aren't Evangelical.
For point 2, those numbers vastly expand outside our borders as well.

@npub1aka…zzz2 Every day I worked at Global Mega Super Tech, I'd have to walk down a hall that ended with a giant framed FBI wanted poster for the guy who sold the B2 bomber blueprints to the Russians.
Anyone who'd publicly apply for a top secret clearance ... That's definitely a choice that can be made, but boy howdy, walking away is the smarter move.

@npub1aka…zzz2 You ever work in a place with designated shredder deposit boxes within fifty feet of all working areas?
I never minded the constant surveillance (I mean, we were all ostensibly on the same side), but god those boxes unnerved me for some reason.
It was like admitting, "what we do here should be destroyed."

@npub1aka…zzz2 Not pointing out the long-standing problem in order to leave room for past accomplishments feels reaaally weird.
Not saying it's not the right thing to do, and people definitely needn't be vicious, but ... we spent a long time getting scolded by people determined to ignore the issue for their own gain.
