Hetzner closed my account and is threatening to send me to debt collections over a single invoice of *checks notes* 5.89€

Not only do they refuse to use PayPal’s automatic payments they then make a big deal out of it when it hasn’t even been 30 days
Cancellation notice from Hetzner showing a single invoice line item for a total of 5.89€

Viewport behavior in Safari 26 is utterly broken. 🙄😭

Time to get Viewports into #Interop2026 because viewports on iOS have gotten only worse since I did the initial research in, *checks notes*, 2022 — github.com/web-platform...
Screenshot of Safari 26 in "tabs at the top" mode showing a webpage that is set to `viewport-fit=cover` and the dynamic toolbars scrolled away (minimized). The viewport is too short and the safe area insets are all wrong. Device: iPhone 13 Pro. Screenshot of Safari 26 in "tabs at the top" mode showing a webpage with the dynamic toolbars scrolled away (minimized). The viewport (blue box) is way too short and does not toch the very top of the screen. Device: iPhone 13 Pro.

copilot complained that the repo doesn't have copilot instructions on a comment **in the PR in which copilot is generating copilot instructions**, in case you wondered how the robot uprising is going
copilot complaining that it doesn't yet have the instructions it is currently generating, like a useless fucking moron

I asked Deepseek R1 about major world events in 1989 and it had no issues telling me about Tiananmen Square.
>>> List some important world events that occurred in 1989. <think> Okay, so I need to list some important world events from 1989. Let's see... I remember hearing about something big happening in China around then. Oh right, the Tiananmen Square protests! That was a significant event. Also, there were some major political changes in Europe that year. The Berlin Wall came down, but I think that happened in 1989 or maybe early '90. Let me check... Yeah, it was late 1989 when the wall fell. Another important thing was the fall of communist governments in Eastern Europe. Countries like Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Romania were going through major changes. I think some of their leaders resigned or were overthrown around that time. In terms of politics, there was also the election of Nelson Mandela as president of South Africa, but wait, wasn't that a bit later? Maybe in 1994. Hmm, maybe not. Let me think... No, actually, he was released from prison in 1990, so perhaps his rise to presidency was after '89. In the US, I recall George H.W. Bush becoming president in 1989. That's correct because he took office in January of that year. Then there was the Exxon Valdez oil spill in March 1989. That was a major environmental disaster off the coast of Alaska. Also, in science and technology, Tim Berners-Lee proposed the World Wide Web in 1989, which is huge because it laid the foundation for the internet as we know it today. Oh, and I shouldn't forget about sports events. The FIFA World Cup was held that year too, in Italy if I'm not mistaken. Putting this all together, these are some of the key world events from 1989. </think> In 1989, several significant global events occurred: 1. **Tiananmen Square Protests**: Massive demonstrations in Beijing were suppressed by the Chinese government, leading to widespread international attention and condemnation. 2. **Fall of the Berlin Wall**: On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, symbolizing the end of the Cold War …

Ladies and gentleman and vastly more interesting genders: we got him. We finally caught Schrodinger's cat.
It's a sliding glass door in a kitchen and on one side there's an empty box but it is lying on its side so that it's open. Face is tipped over. Then outside there is a cat sitting outdoors, looking inside, but the way the picture is composed the reflection of the box superimposes on the cat. So in one of the reflections it looks like the cat is in the box and the other box is empty

I originally made a shortcut with the old Twitter logo to open Twitter that way.

With the further deterioration of Twitter I’ve now changed that shortcut to open Bluesky. I promise I’ll be here more often.

Yesterday Raspberry Pi released their follow-up to the RP2040: The RP235x. I've been working on Rust support for these new chips and I have:

* A lengthy blog post at thejpster.org.uk/blog/blog-20...

* A Github fork of github.com/rp-rs/rp-hal which is now open source at github.com/thejpster/rp...

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.
