@dtl Do plushies fossilize? Because in 500 million years from now, someone is going to find evidence of circular evolution...

@dtl I gave my wife syphilis for her birthday one year.

@dtl when a relative pupped recently I showed her one of those (I don't think it was that one, but something similar, so there are at least two people making these! yay!). I was told in no uncertain terms that this was Right Out if I ever wanted to eat any more of her delicious cakes.

@dtl I kinda want one of these (the plush version, I have no idea how to take care of the real thing).

@dtl That’s the one of “Oh fuck, not another phylum” fame right?

@dtl I honestly thought at first that this was a poorly-designed, top-heavy headband.

@dtl
So when my nephew was born, I went to a baby store, and lo and behold they had this giant centipede with a funky crunchy texture. Best baby present ever! It's been on my desk ever since...my bad, I should have gone for something more cheerful like the virus -

@dtl Whenever I think of the Hallucigenia I think of a weird mix of two linked memories:
1. Reading about them in a *Smithsonian* magazine.
2. Seeing stats for them (in giant forms) in *Dragon* magazine for #DungeonsAndDragons likely inspired by the same article. -

What strikes me most about this acquisition isn't the AI angle. It's the question of why so many open source tools get built by startup teams in the first place.
I maintain an open source project funded by the Sovereign Tech Fund. Getting there wasn't easy: the application process is long, the amounts are modest compared to a VC round, and you have to build community trust before any of that becomes possible. But the result is a project that isn't on anyone's exit timeline.
I'm not saying the startup path is without its own difficulties. But structurally, it offloads the costs onto the community that eventually comes to depend on you. By the time those costs come due, the founders have either cashed out or the company is circling the drain, and the users are left holding the bag. What's happening to Astral fits that pattern almost too neatly.
The healthier model, I think, is to build community first and then seek public or nonprofit funding: NLnet, STF, or similar. It's slower and harder, but it doesn't have a built-in betrayal baked into the structure.
Part of what makes this difficult is that public funding for open source infrastructure is still very uneven geographically. I'm based in Korea, and there's essentially nothing here comparable to what European developers can access. I had no choice but to turn to European funds, because there was simply no domestic equivalent. That's a structural problem worth taking seriously. The more countries that leave this entirely to the private sector, the more we end up watching exactly this kind of thing play out.

every time i see payphones for sale it makes me ache because i have no need for them right now, and someday i will have a need for one, and by that time it will be way too late to easily find one, but i can't exactly shill out $100 for more project junk i don't need...

Ammousa Beach, Lefkada (Grecia)
Video della giornata: https://youtu.be/20rveT0jIAM
Qui non servono descrizioni: una delle spiagge su cui persino io, sardo, non posso dire nulla.
Fantastica.
