@greatdismal.bsky.social I have to ask, is it more vindicating or more distressing that you basically prophetically nailed the future by 1982?

Eight years ago I got held up at gunpoint by a FDLR guerrilla near Nyiragongo, past the UN line in North Kivu, DRC. We were taking fissure measurements and I had my film camera on me, taking shots until we were held up. I just realized the guerrilla is in the background of one photo, watching us.

On what legal basis? Pretty sure we’re allowed to swear at the government.

Literally identical situation at the same time! The presets are wildly uninspiring as learning tools, sort of regretting not getting OpSix Native instead.

My dog absolutely freaked out about needing to go out at 4 am. Thinking he actually needed to go out, I quickly learned he was just being a manipulative little jerk. His morning walk is AFTER coffee today, thank you very much.

This is Google’s old compliance framework, I believe. They’ve released a more complaint V2 but since it’s less abusive companies don’t switch. Reminder that it’s really not much more effort to complain to a regulator than it is to complain on bluesky.

You know, I don’t think I’d trust a company telling me how cookie consent isn’t necessary when they’ve got a prohibited dark pattern, pre-ticked consent, and no cookie enumeration in their own cookie banner.

Moral Geohazard @subduction.bsky.social · 02/07/2026
So, that’s a no to no dark pattern or appropriate consent for GTM, then?

Almost there. You still need equal prominence for the buttons per UK ICO guidance and you're sending traffic to Google Tag Manager without consent pre-interaction with the banner. :)

I can think of a few Turkish languages departments at universities in the US who uncritically say things like this on the department page. Like hey, @universityofkansas.bsky.social, why is your Turkish department presenting a fringe theory as fact? Ping your ling dept about it? sges.ku.edu/turkish

Moral Geohazard @subduction.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
Neither is accepted. That distinction matters because there are distinct theoretical groupings that are more expansive than "core" Altaic but there's still no genetic relationship and no Proto-Altaic outside of fringe theorists. This is "umm actually" from a historical linguist. :)

Moral Geohazard @subduction.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
Extra linguist useful fact: Altaic, as a sprachbund and not a language family, lacks a proto- form and the only proto-Altaic dictionaries out there are taken about as seriously within the Linguistics community as young earth publications are in geology. :)

Moral Geohazard @subduction.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
Ural-Altaic is completely rejected by the linguistics community, though. The roots are into Proto-Eskaleut.

Moral Geohazard @subduction.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
Wiktionary often contains IPA for proto forms searchable by root.

Harvard loves comparing themselves to other universities so that seems like a lot of pre-existing Mass comparison knowledge to leverage.

Since I’m looking up content for two very different levels of skier, I think my algorithm is getting confused by the dichotomy of “how to stand up on skis” and “drills to send Corbet’s” as two types of searches.

Since we weren't living together four years ago, my poor wife was not aware that my Canadian ass is perfectly willing to marathon every single curling event at the Winter Olympics. It's a winter sport that involves physics and rocks. What's not to love?

Fair question: why don't you have opt out on the first layer of the cookie consent banner?

You're also shoving Google Analytics under "strictly necessary" when it cannot be used in that way.

Ferrari getting praised and Audi clowned on for their respective liveries has convinced me that the average F1 fan thinks nostalgia is synonymous with good design.

Ferrari makes ugly, slow cars now and I think we need to admit at some point that this is a trend from our favourite midfield team rather than an outlier from a solid frontrunner.

Adams always gave off, and sort of owned, the vibe of someone who circumstances -allowed- to be an awful human being instead of making him into one. He was also responsible in part for the radicalization of a lot of boomers.

I don't think starting World War III should be considered "a distraction" from other things even if it does distract from other things.

New paper alert! tl;dr: the seafloor of Europa is probably tectonically inert, meaning little to no active fracturing that could expose fresh rock to seawater. Without such water–rock reactions the prospect for there being life within Europa just took a big hit. A thread:
Artist's impression of rocks on a barren ocean floor, devoid of life, tectonism, or volcanic activity. Europa's seafloor is probably a bit like this, but in absolute darkness (which doesn't make for all that compelling a picture).

It’s still how awards are weighted, regardless of who wins. Movies above TV, length doesn’t matter. The article is still sexist; I can’t imagine a man’s speech would have been reduced to this, especially considering her full speech (youtube.com/shorts/Dwhsj...):
Article screenshot saying “Snook had not prepared a speech, saying her husband commented in the car that she seemed distant.”
