The image displays a series of three sets of three grayscale mountainous terrain maps, each set representing a different mountain: Aneito, Monte Perdido, and Ossoue. Each set shows the ice thickness in meters for the years 2024, 2030, and 2034, with a color scale ranging from dark purple (0-5 meters) to green (35-40 meters). The maps illustrate the changes in ice thickness over time, with darker colors indicating thinner ice and lighter colors indicating thicker ice. The terrain is depicted in grayscale, highlighting the mountainous features. The color scale is consistent across all maps, providing a clear visual representation of the ice thickness changes.

I've been a Debian user for more than 20 years (a few others 10 years prior to that). I've always had Debian running on, at least, one piece of hardware. I will admit that I've had one of the "big 3's" distributions running on a separate piece of hardware at some point because I wanted to learn as much about those distributions as possible so I could apply for jobs with those companies. Now that I'm close to 60 years old, and it's quite obvious that I will never work for one of those companies, I have Debian running on everything. Debian just feels, and has always felt, like home. Last night, I rebuilt my home server that was running CentOS with Debian and all feels good again. Still have a bit of configuring to do but that won't take too awful long.

Microsoft Touts $500 Million in AI Savings While Slashing Jobs - Slashdot
Microsoft is keen to show employees how much AI is transforming its own workplace, even as the company terminates thousands of personnel.tech.slashdot.org
This kind of "side-by-side" comparison between apps is something that in my unpopular opinion makes the worst for the #fediverse
Here we are doing our best to deliver the same experience with different software platforms.
The only legitimate question any average social media user would ask would likely be: "why"?
Why should I trust any random and mostly unknown admin among thousands of unknown ones instead of an organized and staffed multinational company?
The Fediverse is built on personal trust, by humans, for humans, on shared values and with respect for people on mind.
We should not offer an amateurish imitation of billion-dollars networks, but something totally different in allowance, in networking, in experience. We should create ourselves a new way of doing it. Someone is working on that, someone is just running after the remains of now decayed monsters, others think that they can get a share of the pie.

i used this kind of image in the past, but after reading your post, I think you are fundamentally right.
One argument for the image is that it is simple and direct, and if you are disgusted by tech-bros you know there is an alternative, but maybe there is something better tha we could draw...
The Heavy Dub remix of "New Order - Someone Like You" by James Holden and the remix by Funk D'Void contain groove and pop elements and are loved by many people just like the original song.

The image shows a vinyl record album cover titled "Sometimes When We Touch" by Cleo Laine & James Galway. The cover features a photograph of the two artists smiling at each other, with Cleo Laine on the left and James Galway on the right. The text is in yellow and white, with the artists' names prominently displayed at the top. Below the title, the text "Sometimes When We Touch" is written in a smaller font. The background of the cover is black, which contrasts with the yellow and white text. The album is placed on a surface next to a turntable, with a wooden base and a black platter. The turntable has the brand name "Linn Sonder" visible on the front. The setting appears to be a room with a carpeted floor, and there are some cables and a white object visible in the background.

I think I’ll start by exploring his other books published in Polish and then go for any Ukrainian editions. I read Ukrainian quite easily but my vocabulary may be a bit limited as it’s been mostly trained on military news so it will definitely benefit from proper prose.

Das Bild zeigt eine atemberaubende Aussicht auf eine Stadt bei Nacht. Im Vordergrund befindet sich ein beleuchteter Pool, umgeben von mehreren Liegestühlen und Sonnenschirmen, die auf einer gepflegten Rasenfläche stehen. Die Umgebung ist von einer niedrigen Hecke umgeben, die das Gelände umschließt. Im Hintergrund erstreckt sich eine malerische Stadtlandschaft, die von Lichtern beleuchtet wird, die sich auf den Hügeln und in der Stadt verteilen. Der Himmel ist dunkelblau mit einem sichtbaren Mond, der in der Mitte des Bildes hängt. Die Szene ist ruhig und friedlich, mit einer harmonischen Mischung aus natürlicher und städtischer Schönheit.

No Tension for Tensors?
We always enjoy [FloatHeadPhysics] explaining any math or physics topic. We don’t know if he’s acting or not, but he seems genuinely excited about every topic he covers, and it is infectious. He also has entertaining imaginary conversations with people like Feynman and Einstein. His recent video on tensors begins by showing the vector form of Ohm’s law, making it even more interesting. Check out the video below.
If you ever thought you could use fewer numbers for many tensor calculations, [FloatHeadPhysics] had the same idea. Luckily, imaginary Feynman explains why this isn’t right, and the answer shows the basic nature of why people use tensors.
The spoiler: vectors and even scalars are just a special case of tensors, so you use tensors all the time, you just don’t realize it. He works through other examples, including an orbital satellite and a hydroelectric dam.
We love videos that help us have aha moments about complex math or physics. It is easy to spew formulas, but there’s no substitute for having a “feeling” about how things work.
The last time we checked in with [FloatHeadPhysics], he convinced us we were already travelling at the speed of light. We’ve looked at a simple tensor explainer before, if you want a second approach.

in reply to Frankie ✅ • • •The image depicts a woman standing in a dimly lit, stone-walled environment, possibly a dungeon or an ancient chamber. She is wearing a deep red dress with a fitted bodice and a flowing cape, which is dark and draped over her shoulders. The dress has a low neckline, revealing a necklace with a prominent red gemstone. Her long, dark hair cascades over her shoulders, and she holds a lit candle in her right hand, casting a warm glow on her face and the surrounding area. In her left hand, she holds a glowing red crystal or orb, emitting a bright, fiery light that contrasts with the dark background. A sword is sheathed at her waist, adding to the mystical and powerful aura of the scene. The background is shadowy, with chains visible, enhancing the mysterious atmosphere. The overall color palette is dark, with reds and blues dominating, creating a dramatic and enigmatic setting.
