The problem with quote boosts is that it makes the content on the site worse. It reorients the site from being about ideas and into being reactions. The problem is not even that you will get harassed—although eventually, you will—the problem is *you will start harassing people*, although maybe you'll call it something else, like "dunking". Bluesky's quote feature has strong anti-harassment protections but the site is still wash in dunk culture.

Anyway, if you're going to quote boost, which I don't think you should, remember:
INCORRECT: The "Dunk"— boost something bad and disagree with it— now you're just shoving into our feed something bad we otherwise wouldn't have had to look at
CORRECT: The "Volleyball Spike"— find something good— think of that little extra bit of "yes, and" embellishment that makes it shine— post that.
But this is still more boring than just making a post.

#PhysicsFactlet
I haven't made a single scientific animation in months. I just don't have the mental space right now.
But I am preparing a series of lectures on scattering for the Plasmonica 2026 School (https://www.plasmonica.it/2026school/), and it feels like a good excuse to make a few new ones.This one shows a simple finite element simulation of a pulse scattering on a small dielectric obstacle.

@doqunbop Yeah they would. Unfortunately, that's not really practical. Lemme explain: Detail is good, but it needs to be consistent across all parts(mesh). A small part can have 1000 triangles. To get the same detail on a big one, it may need up to 7000. And larger means higher LOD distance. If I ramp up details, some meshes will end up with +10000 triangles. Means much, MUCH smaller levels.

Diesel a 1,9/litro. Di sospendere almeno le accise no eh? Figuriamoci, tanto a voi la benzina ve la paghiamo noi ebeti.
Bastardi schifosi.
