”My argument is that the current structure of public conversation has the same effect on human cognition that a botnet has on a web server. It's simply exhausting you. And an exhausted mind defaults to heuristics and tribal allegiances, aka whatever position allows it to conserve the most cognitive energy.”

”What I do know is that the feeling of being overwhelmed, of never being able to keep up, of having strong opinions about everything and confident understanding of nothing, is n…

I'm saddened but not surprised. Why are our politicians - from #Newsom to mayors to supervisors - so vocal about mandatory treatment and the need for conservancy or jail, and so unwilling to ensure the necessary services are available?

Tree planting can combat urban heat, but some neighborhoods are falling behind
Sydney communities may be missing out on crucial tree planting projects intended to combat urban heat, leaving western and eastern parts of Greater Sydney with less protection from extreme heat, a University of Sydney-led study has revealed. In a surprising finding, the researchers found that while Greater Sydney's total tree canopy increased by 4.2% from 1.514 billion square meters to 1.578 billion square meters between 2016 and 2022, this growth was not evenly distributed.

Raiders’ Maxx Crosby Gets Big Trade Take Involving Bengals heavy.com/sports/nfl/las-vegas

Raiders’ Maxx Crosby Gets Big Trade Take Involving Bengals
The Las Vegas Raiders attempted to trade Maxx Crosby this offseason, but a failed physical led to his move to the Baltimore Ravens falling through. Nonetheless, with the 2026 NFL Draft approaching on April 23, it wouldn’t be surprising to see teams calling the Silver and Black to make a trade.Last season with the Raiders, Crosby posted a 79.7 overall PFF defensive grade, ranking 16th among 115 qualified edge defenders. His 77.1 pass-rush grade placed 20th in that group, while his 78.7 run-def…

There’s something happening on the Web at the moment that almost feels like watching that old arcade game Space Invaders play out across our servers. Bots and scrapers marching in formation, attacking our servers wave after wave, systematically requesting page after page, relentlessly filling their data stores while we watch our access logs fill up.

Nice here in the fediverse.
But have you ever been to Ankh-Morpork?
City of a thousand surprises
#GNUPterry #gnuterrypratchett #GNUSirPterry

A yellow sticker in the style of the Baden-Württemberg Nett hier campaign. Text in black says "Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Ankh-Morpork? Stadt der tausend Überraschungen" (English translation in the post). Below that the seal of the city of Ankh-Morpork, held by two hippos, crowned by a Morpork owl, with cabbages, money bags, the tower of art and the river Ankh. The banner flowing says Quanti Canicula Ille In Finestra (how much is the doggy in the window)
