Triangle Centers
A Brief Introduction
The center of a triangle is an interesting idea. Unlike circles, a triangle’s center isn’t always the same point because triangles aren’t generally symmetric, and there are lots of different ways to define what you mean by the center of a triangle. Years ago, when the internet was young, I remember finding Clark Kimberling’s online Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers, which had documented hundreds of different ways to define a triangle’s center. The Encyclopedia now contains nearly 40,000 different definitions.
The four most famous triangle centers are the center of mass, circumcenter, incenter, and orthocenter. These were all known by the ancient Greeks, making them more than a couple thousand years old. All four of these can be easily demonstrated by folding paper. So get yourself some paper and scissors, and follow along.
Remarkably, some triangle centers can fall outside the triangle, especially if you use an obtuse triangle—one with at least one obtuse angle. So start your exploration with an acute triangle. To keep it interesting, try not to make your triangle too close to equilateral. Make each of the sides at least 2-3 inches long. Cut out four copies of your triangle.

To all the people that came to me after my talk on @termux recommending me to use postmarketOS, PureOS or a Pinephone:
There will be theme night specifically on mobile Linux on the Jan. 30 at @chaostreffbern where we can discuss all the different kinds of mobile Linux variants. I hope I get to play around with some of them. Maybe I'll be convinced. 😉

Amid a series of changes that allows users to target LGBTQ+ people, Meta has deleted product features it initially championed.Jason Koebler (404 Media)
Have you had that "Upcoming price change for your Microsoft 365 subscription" email yet? They want to charge you an extra 50%ish for AI features, and they do *not* make it easy to find the way to turn it off. It took me minutes of searching - this is a particularly evil dark pattern.
"Switch plan" just lets you pick between annual and monthly billing. You want "Turn off recurring billing" and then "Current subscription without AI".
You're welcome. Please boost for others.
