β€œIn a lot of these cases, hardware is just a means to an end,” Sag says. β€œIf the UI is clunky, it doesn’t matter how the glasses look.”
Dang, it’s almost as if user interface designers serve a purpose, despite what the seemingly 90%(I’m being hyperbolic) of the tech community on Blind like to say.

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Agreed. It definitely surprised me at how weird the whole thing was. I was not expecting macabre Weekend at Bernie’s element to the events.

β€œThe content is all too often bad commodity content. It's boring aggregation with no voice and no wit and no new angle.β€œ
So much of mainstream Dem influencer content reads with the same cringe-inducement as B2C brands using memes.

Very telling that Chorus boss BTC and creators named in Taylor's article are attacking the messenger and not the message: and mark, how none of them have targeted WIRED, which stands by everything in the article, which was written in accordance with the high journalistic standards they're known for.

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS.

Just use bottled water please.

Many things about Oklahoma frustrate me, but Black Mesa State Park and its lack of light pollution and human noise almost makes up for them.
