Secret spider societies reveal surprising brain differences
Researchers peered inside the brains of huntsman and crab spiders using microCT scanners and found that while spiders' brains don't have to be bigger for them to live in groups, social spiders are wired for better memory, recognition and collaboration.

Hey Fediverse! Request for comments on some software. I'm looking for an application to assist with multiple social media accounts, ie: posting to multiple platforms simultaneously, (Mastodon included of course), and ideally one that supports multiple brand account groups so I can manage clients.
Hootsuite would fit the bill feature-wise but it's paid-only, can't be self hosted, and doesn't support Mastodon.
I'm not opposed to paying for software, but open s…

'graphviz' is a suite of programs for drawing graphs (In the nodes/edges senses, rather than upwards and to the right sense) - and it uses a file format called 'dot'. Lots of things generate dot output (such as systemd-analyze I mentioned) and it's really easy to generate from scripts and things. 'dotty' is probably the most common program in the suite.
There are some newer formats and programs - but this one is probably the most universal.

Completely sick of the prudes and their bullshit in the USA. Fuck these phony fucks and their bullshit morals. Still say the ISPs do NOT want to monitor this shit. Most people do NOT want this fucking garbage. https://

TIOBE Software CEO Paul Jansen shares the numbers for November 2025 in its programming popularity index. It seems like C# is almost caught up with Java with a less than 1% difference between the fourth and fifth positions. Python continues to stand in a very comfortable first place.
"TIOBE Index for November 2025 - Is C# going to surpass Java for the first time in history?"

Bridging Semantics & Structure for Software Vulnerability Detection using Hybrid Network Models
Software vulnerabilities remain a persistent risk, yet static and dynamic analyses often overlook structural dependencies that shape insecure behaviors. Viewing programs as heterogeneous graphs, we capture control- and data-flow relations as complex interaction networks. Our hybrid framework combines these graph representations with light-weight (<4B) local LLMs, uniting topological features with semantic reasoning while avoiding the cost and privacy concerns of large cloud models. Evaluated on…

Droht der digitale Blackout? - KI und Internet am Limit
Das Digitalzeitalter hat längst das öffentliche und private Leben erreicht, eine Welt ohne E-Mail, TikTok, Web und KI scheint unvorstellbar. Doch die Technik hängt am seidenen Faden: Was, wenn der Strom für Rechenzentren knapp wird, Unterseekabel sabotiert und Grafikchips sanktioniert werden? In Forschung, Industrie und Militär sucht man nach Lösungen gegen den digitalen Blackout.

If anyone has any idea how to get the CEWE Fotobuch software to behave on NixOS, be my guest:

Getting CEWE Fotobuch to launch
I am struggling hard to get CEWE Fotobuch (a proprietary software to layout and order printed photo albums) to run on NixOS. Yes, it’s “proprietary garbage” as Tony would put it, please no discussions whether it’s good to use it or not. 🙂 It can be downloaded from this landing page, or the tarball directly from here. Apparently, there is only this one tarball link, which always points to the latest version, there are no stable links to old versions as confirmed in this thr...

Reverse engineered another image file format, which was used in True Love (#pc98) and a handful of other games. Made an encoder too, so you can insert modified graphics in the game. Hopefully this power will be used responsibly.
