I wander far during my explorations in the online world. Sometimes, I discover something new, and report back to you dear folks.

Today's theme is nighttime photography, well-lit by drones with lights:



'Let's hope that the EU is living in America's future, and not the other way around." Como siempre acertado, Cory Doctorow @pluralistic en uno de sus" vertidos" de enlaces. Esta vez sobre el caos trumpiano y las consecuencias de una utopía pseudolibertaria.

Drone light painting photography is a creative technique where a drone equipped with lights is used to draw patterns or shapes in the air while a long exposure photograph is taken, resulting in a unique image with trails of light.

Hahaha Jesus imagine saying this out loud as an elected leader in #canada The great #alberta political communicator everybody. Fuck off to Florida already Smith #abpoli #cdnpoli breitbart.com/politics/2025/03…


Watch out for the moon phases and also the direction at which light will fall on the surface you will be light painting. You can use a combination of moonlight and drone lights when you are painting patterns in the sky (moonlight to illuminate landscape and drone light to paint patterns in the sky) or use the drone lights to fill in light in areas where light is less or not available.

🧪 Meet Lise Meitner: The nuclear physicist who explained atomic fission in 1939, revolutionizing science. Despite her groundbreaking work, her male colleague Otto Hahn received the 1944 Nobel Prize while she was excluded. #womenshistorymonth #STEM
in reply to The Conversation U.S.

...and it took Free University Berlin (FUB) decades to finally rename the "Otto-Hahn-Bau" (the former Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut where nuclear fission was first demonstrated) into "Hahn-Meitner-Bau" after having given her the honorary doctorate (Dr. h.c.) already in 1956.








Cloudflare is now offering a feature called “AI labyrinth” where it serves a series of AI generated pages to AI crawlers that ignore robots.txt directives.

They’re essentially serving AI slop to AI crawlers that are training off of a website’s content without permission.

Deliciously devious. 😈

"'No real human would go four links deep into a maze of AI-generated nonsense,' Cloudflare explains. 'Any visitor that does is very likely to be a bot, so this gives us a brand-new tool to identify and fingerprint bad bots.'"

Human visitors should not read documentation hosted on Cloudflare I guess?









Wie heeft dit verzonnen bij de Belastingdienst? Dat 'dichte' rondjes optisch gewoon nog steeds open zijn?


We all get pretty stupid about things that happened when we were young so you can be forgiven for overlooking how great Genesis was in 1980.

You guys, this song is in 13/8 time.

Kyiv Post - Russian forces have launched a massive drone strike on Kyiv, causing damage in many parts of the city and killing three people, including a 5-year-old child. kyivpost.com/post/49414






Aaachtung, #Servicetröt: Unter anderem die Verbraucherzentrale warnt derzeit vor #Fakeshops, die Produkte zum #Frühlingsanfang (vor allem #Räder und Zubehör) anbieten. Manche der Seiten wirken wirklich ziemlich professionell und erwecken den Anschein, es stecke ein stationärer (Fahrrad-)Händler aus Deutschland dahinter. Wer dort bestellt, verliert jedoch offenbar sein Geld. Eine Liste mit den Fakeshops gibt es u.a. hier 👇

Für alle die nicht den Artikel nicht (vollständig) lesen: die Verbraucherzentrale hat auch eine Seite über die man Shops auf Merkmale für einen eventuellen Fakeshop überprüfen kann:

Of course, on the artist's Facebook post for this comic, there is a reply guy saying "Well actually, the term gaslighting wasn't about gas lighters..."

reshared this

I recently learned that a lot of the gas lamps around London were fed from the methane from the sewers!
