Your semi-regular reminder that I'm collecting weird #hci papers at https://floe.butterbrot.org/matrix/rants/weird/.
Found a nice new one from #chi2026 ("Outfoxed") via @nbhansen, keep the weirdness coming - suggestions always welcome! 😁 (still missing something for 2024/25, BTW)

@whitequark thoughts and prayers

@Lana @johan that's right, add a picture of him with his ankle monitor 😁

@petergleick Nah, he's gonna blow a gasket after one of his toddler tantrums. I do hope he'll last until the midterms, though, because IMHO that's the best chance that the Republicans get whacked real good 🤞

@volzo

I do wonder if Slovakia's Fico (another Putin stooge) will now still try to sabotage the EU by blocking everything, or if he'll rather keep a bit quieter now that his big brother is out of the game?

@volzo niiiice. Does it also do Datenfernübertragung? 😁

Congratulations, #Hungary! And thank you from the rest of the EU for getting rid of Putin's stooge. Although I'm a bit surprised that Orban conceded so quickly, I would have expected more shenanigans... let's see what the future brings 🤞

@janamarie Thanks! Guess I'll dig around the datasheet a bit to see if they mention anything about the sensor surface, would definitely make it easier to work with 🤞

@janamarie Hmmm, that is really interesting, because I just ripped a Raspberry Pi HQ camera apart to do contact imaging (almost) directly on the sensor, and I'm terrified of damaging it. Do you know if they commonly have a protective glass layer, or is that specific to your CCD?

@janamarie Kapton tape directly on the CCD? This is fine. 🫣

@Robsonde @campuscodi I don't think you'll get far with that approach today, the hashrate of any normal machine is minuscule compared to the dedicated hardware that professional miners use. Maybe if you have a whole botnet of hacked servers...

@gsuberland paging @gigabecquerel

@denzilferreira @jonsnow tbh, I think that this is a case of "don't attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence" 🤷

@weirdunits anything that uses Gradle is badly skewing the numbers here

@zzt not entirely true anymore, but lol

@tryberg Men meget lækkert 😋

@heidilifeldman Well, the price for crude oil went down, which is bad both for Putin and the Koch brothers, so... 🤷🙄

@hughsie P.S. unexpectedly, reading through the CSV file has a very educational aspect, never heard half of those (even in German) 🤔😉
