There is someone who has taken a lot of old films and used AI to colorize them badly and "boosted" the frame rate from 24 to 60fps and then uploaded this trash to the Internet Archive.
I hate this. Films shot in b&w have an aesthetic that is destroyed by colorizing them. Video games might look better with more frames per second but movies don't. We didn't accidentally settle on 24fps, it was trial and error. A film shot in 60fps looks bad. A movie that has been ar…

As the "last falangista*" dies, fascism is again on the rise.
Just an example from Manchester.
In the nearby parliamentary constituency, a candidate with connections to race pseudoscience organisations, with Nazi pedigree, could win a crucial by-election.
*Falange= Franco's fascist party.

Muere a los 93 años el golpista Antonio Tejero, brazo ejecutor del 23F
Fue condenado a 30 años de cárcel, aunque finalmente cumplió solo la mitad de la pena y fue puesto en libertad en 1996. Ha muerto el mismo día que el Gobierno ha desclasificado los documentos sobre el golpe de Estado, entre los que están las llamadas de su mujer

(h/t to bsky.app/profile/roterote.bsky)

Wolverine stabbing an ICE agent through the skull and another ICE agent through the chest.
Ghost Rider on his motorcycle dragging one ICE agent along the ground and forcing his head to the pavement while he holds a second ICE agent by the neck. Text reads: “THE RIDER APPEARED FLYING DOWN THE STREET AT 90 MPH, GRABBING THE AGENT BY THE NECK. THE SOUND OF HIS SPINE SNAPPING COULD BE HEARD DOWN THE BLOCK. OLIC THE SECOND GUY... THE RIDER PRESSED HIS HEAD INTO THE STREET, GRINDING IT DOWN LIKE A BELT SANDER. THEY FOUND HIM A MILE DOWN THE ROAD, JUST HALF THE HELMET LEFT, AND WHAT WAS I…

This article is interesting about thoughts of using flying networks to support military operations.
It is a complex system - and my sense is that they will screw it up with application specific protocols and APIs that evolve and change over time as as military events (the kind that go boom or are intentional forms of in-band attacks - think everything from hyper-phishing to spoofing to zero-day attacks).
But even if it were put together with the precision of a Swiss watch, my old…

'Eingefrorene Bewegung' #FotoVorschlag 'Frozen Movement'
Ah I almost didn't want to post a photo for this topic until this photo came to my mind. And it's a frozen motion even literally... right?
More about this day:

A dynamic and atmospheric winter scene unfolds in this image, capturing the raw beauty of a snowstorm. The sky is filled with swirling snowflakes, creating a dense curtain of white that partially obscures the landscape. The snowfall adds a sense of movement and energy to the scene, as the flakes dance and swirl in the wind. In the foreground, patches of snow-covered grass and rocks are visible, their textures softened by the falling snow. The contrast between the white snow and the darker tone…
