Let a, b, c, d be four consecutive Fibonacci numbers.

Further, let a*d and 2*b*c be the legs of a triangle.

Then the triangle is a right triangle, and (c*d) - (a*b) is the hypotenuse.

(For example: 1, 1, 2, 3. The legs are a * d = 1 * 3 = 3 and 2 * b * c = 2 * 1 * 2 = 4. The hypotenuse is (2 * 3) - (1 * 1) = 6 - 1 = 5. So it's a 3-4-5 right triangle.)

Fun escape room idea where you lock a bunch of techbros in a room and don't let them out. No clues.

I deeply regret not buying those dopey Linux t-shirts I saw in the Redmond thriftstore. Melissa could be walking around in a bright yellow XXL with a stained penguin on it.

Possibly Shutting Down VidCommons 

Due to the extreme emergency mode my life is going into, I can no longer afford to host or maintain VidCommons.org. In case you don't recall, VC is a PeerTube instance serving as a library of Public Domain and Creative Commons media for the fediverse, kind of like what Open Audio is for Funkwhale.

If anyone is interested in transferring ownership to continue running the project, please let me know in short order! Otherwise, the instance will be discontinued at the end of next week.

your irregular but frequent reminder that SD cards are not safe like you think they are

they are not dumb flash, they have a whole ARM running java applets in there and a whole set of NDA'd functionalities intended for DRM

they are specifically designed to make that code easy for vendors to add and near-impossible for you to audit

the newer ones even support DMA over their fancey NVMe/PCIe buses!! panic!!!!

Bird Site; Might Be NSFW 

When you don't have a personality outside the things you buy.

can this be the standard icon for responsive design?

"women and cis women" is the most glorious rhetorical reversal against TERFs I've ever seen

in terms of games with hand drawn traditional animation I really liked Jotun

I don't know enough about animation to definitively place the style but I do know that it's gorgeous and doesn't look like many other games I've played

(plus the game's dialog is entirely in Old Norse, which is cool as hell)

If you think Ren and Stimpy looks better than Steven Universe, you honestly need your eyes fixed.

Reading people complaining about Enchanted Portals is flashing me back to the Steven Universe hatefandom.

"They don't keep on model! If you're gonna go off model for effect, it has to be thoughtful! Look at John K's work!"

Weird how that shit died down after John K got outed as a pedophile

Redditors like to play animation nerd, but they don't even recognize any of the classic shit Cuphead copied and pasted.

every week the truth comes out that some "internet celebrity" is secretly a bigot, and every time i've never heard of them before but i can tell from one look at their profile that they suck

#Medium now fully completed their paywalling efforts. The public page's now completely inaccessible without logging in.

Unsuspecting visitors to Medium's #articles now can't #read them unless they lock themselves into the platform.

The ability to search for new #content written by independent creators? Gone! The goal's to usurp content created by others free of charge to make you pay the centralized platform to access it.

#Plume exists to combat this, using the power of the #fediverse.
