I'm kind of obsessed with this old puzzle. You need to move the piano to the lower LEFT corner by sliding the pieces. Curious if anyone has done any math things with such tile puzzles? It's easy to move it to the lower right, and possible but kind of hard to […] [Original post on sauropods.win]

An "promotional" wooden puzzle from the Argonne van and storage co. It is nearly 100 years old. You slide rectangular blocks labeled as boxes.

Fucking "app culture" drives me crazy. I got asked to install a mobile app just to look at the itinerary and accommodation information for a trip I'm going on. Why isn't it just a web page? So obviously I said "fuck that noise, hold my beer", reverse-engineered the app, and re-implemented it […]

This is why the Fediverse matters: it's a platform designed for human conversation, not algorithmic engagement. osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/6nue7_v1 #Facebook #Instagram #BigTech #SocialMedia #Fediverse

LinkedIn post by Jay Van Bavel, PhD, titled "Social media is increasingly anti-social". The post highlights that only 7% of Instagram time and 17% of Facebook time is spent on content from friends or followed accounts, with the rest being algorithmic videos from strangers. It notes that platforms like TikTok prioritize engagement over social connection, and over half of long posts on Meta are AI-generated. The post links to a study, "Towards a Post-Social Media Studies" by Petter Törnberg and Richard Rogers (University of Amsterdam), which explores the shift from social-graph-based to interest-based recommendation algorithms and the rise of distinct post-social media formations.
