Probably the best thing I did this week was make the OpenAI anus / Atlass butt plug logo into a Goatse gag.
But then Microsoft comes along and outdoes me with this vitamin-yellow-tinted puddle of spunk and I am just… wow.
Well done, Microsoft.

The other picolibc project this week is to (finally) put together a coding standard and reformat all of the code. I'm wondering if others have experience with this particular transition and if you all have advice and guidance about how to make this less disruptive. Of course, bike-shedding about the actual format is highly encouraged.

A rarely seen seven-arm octopus was captured on camera 2,300 feet below the surface in remarkable deep-sea footage.
The species
— formally known as the seven-arm octopus (Haliphron atlanticus)
— was recorded by the remotely operated vehicle Ventana, operated by the team at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI).
According to MBARI, the encounter occurred during a recent expedition in Monterey Bay and marks only the fourth time the organisation has observed…

Paraphrase of my #IOT hardware rant on slack (unsurprising, since I maintain https://github.com/unixorn/internet-of-trash/)
In a perfect world IOT hardware companies should:
- Have to escrow the firmware. And escrow the source code, not just the binary blob
- The firmware isn't allowed to use binary blobs as device drivers. Chip manufacturers will have to suck it up and document their chips or hardware companies won't be able to use them
- Have to escrow any keys required to update the firmware
- To be sold, have to have a local API, with at a minimum, functionality to update the firmware once the hardware company stops support. No "You have to use our crapware that only works on a phone/computer OS two major versions old, and it has to download firmware from our servers that got turned off when we went out of business / dropped the product's support
- Eighteen months with no updates causes release of the escrowed firmware and update keys. There are bound to be at least some security updates required in that time
- Have to have clearly labeled pads on the board for updating firmware and running diagnostics.
- Not be allowed to lock consumers out of reflashing the firmware. If someone flashes custom firmware before the escrowed firmware is released, and the custom firmware bricks the device, that's on the person who reflashed it, not the company.

One of my favorite emojis is the "hugs" emoji 🫂. Or an "okay_blob" custom reacji that my favorite Slack uses. I use it all the time to indicate "I hear you and I know what you're saying is emotional. I support you".
Another very progressive Slack I'm on has a "hugs OK?" emoji you are supposed to use first. Only if the other person responds with the "hugs OK!" emoji are you then allowed to respond with an actual "hug" emoji.
I think I'm a pro-explicit-consent person. But it strikes me that this careful three-way handshake, all for 16x16 pixels in a virtual environment, may be a little much.

I was amused that on a recent episode of Gen V that a lab-test animal (that gets turned into a blob of blood and gore) is named "Elon Musk" in order to reduce sympathy for its fate.

I have believed for a long time now that humanity has proven incapable of a 'gradual decline' of anything that it is truly dependent on even if alternatives are available.
We seem pre-programmed to use something to the max... hit rock bottom in terms of impacts on our own health and general well being… and then go pretty much cold turkey. (either through replacement or outright abstinence).
I believe it will be the same with fossil fuels.
We are possibly seeing a slight reduction now globally in overall use of oil. But it is still far and away too too much.
Maybe we’ll cut this by 10% or 20% in the next 10 or 20 years... but zero by 2050? Not a chance.
I believe we will go and go and go, until one day we can go no more, the pressure is too great, the casualties too high, the effects too devastating, and the impact of complete shutdown of the fossil fuel industry in less than 5 years will seem less bad than the damage we have already done and are sure to suffer in future.
I hope I live to see that day, not out of morbidity, but out of hope. I want to die knowing we finally did it. I don't know if that's going to happen.
Not an uplifting prediction, I know, but seriously, tell me I'm wrong.
