  • I’m not an expert, but from my understanding it’s kind of something like this:

    So a geodesic is a line of shortest length between two points on a curved surface, like two points on a ball, the geodesic would be the shortest line that connects the two.

    If you look at flight paths compared to a flat representation of Earth, you’ll see that aircraft seem to follow a very strange arc, that’s because they’re actually flying the geodesic of their route, which looks funny when presented flat.

    If you imagine Earth as the aircraft and spacetime as the globe, that’s essentially what is meant. However do keep in mind that aircraft follow a two-dimensional geodesic, whereas we would follow a three-dimensional one due to spacetime being four-dimensional; due to how reductions work. (3D object casts 2D shadow, 4D object casts 3D shadow).

    My knowledge is rather vague past this point, but essentially orbits are geodesics against 4D spacetime, and gravity affects that temporal component.


  • Paint.

    Orange to be precise.

    When I was a kid, a friend of mine hosted a birthday party on a paintball range. We played for I don’t know how long, large group of us, was really fun.

    One thing the instructors told us, keep your mouth shut.

    You see, we wore face masks, however for us to breathe of course there’s a grill where you mouth goes.

    Needless to say, I got shot right on that mouth grill, and naturally due to the shock of it I opened my mouth…

    The paintball burst on the grill, and I had the whole volume of paint launched deep into my throat.

    It was so… ungodly… salty. For the rest of the day all I could taste was salt (the blow occured around early afternoon). And that’s coming from someone who also on another unrelated occassion ended up with a deep mouthful of sea water.

    My relationship with Morbius.

    Sure, the acting and dialogue is bum, but the story, pacing, etc isn’t that bad.

    CGI, while not great by any means, does it’s job.

    I’d give it a solid 6/10 rather than the absolutely abysmall ratings given to it officially.




  • Honestly? Fair enough.

    This does fly directly in the face of Ladybird’s mission, yes, but this sort of thing isn’t limited to just them, and while this is a rather nuclear response, we must remain mindful and grateful for the thousands of hours of time these people have put into this project; building a web browser and engine from scratch is not an easy task and it’s understandable that they don’t want to allow low-quality code and security vulnerabilities in.

    To me this demonstrates that they truly care not just about getting this project out the door, but to do so in good faith and with high quality.

    The codebase remains open-source, and the engine is still true to it’s goals to decentralise the web.

    One day I do hope FOSS as a community finds an answer to low-quality mass-produced PRs written with poorly prompted AI tools, and I do hope when that happens they may reconsider their position.

    Until then, I wish them the best and commend their ongoing work and await a release eagerly!
