jwzSVG triangulation.
Dear Lazyweb,
I need this SVG as a DXF, DWG or SKP with all of the polylines converted to triangular meshes. Can someone show me how, or just do it for me?
The conversion must preserve group names so that I can tell which ones are which.
Bonus level: can you find a similar source map that also has US states? Must be equirectangular.

jwzOh no I'm in the Epstein files:

jwzThere have been exactly two innovations in web browsers in the last 16 years:
1. "Show Reader Automatically" in 2010;
2. "Hide Distracting Items" in 2024.
Everything else has either been a waste of goddamned time, or actively malicious. Mostly the latter.

jwzPSA: I don't know if it will do any good, but I have just learned that "reportphishing@apple.com" exists, in case you also are getting a ton of "testing invites" like "OpenAI GPT Advertising, LLC. has invited you to test OpenAI GPT". They come from throw-away domains but the links are to Apple.
jwzZipbomb JSON.
Someone who is not me should formulate a maximally-malicious JSON file. I made one with a nesting depth of ~182 million, but "jq" gives up early, at only around depth 3,000. So one trick would be to find the right balance of nesting and array length that stays under typical parsers' limits as long as possible, while requiring as much RAM as possible to get there.

jwzMozilla has 1.4 BILLION dollars that they are spending on some AI bullshit.
That's billion with a B. So if you held out hope that filling out surveys or shitposting through it might turn this ship around, no. That much money has an event horizon.
Mozilla is cooked.

jwzI'm old enough to remember when the AI company with $1,400,000,000 in the bank held a bake sale to keep their mail reader running. https://mastodon.social/@jwz/111546146333271392
jwz@thunderbird@mastodon.online You're a wholly owned subsidiary of a nonprofit that owns a company of the same name that pays their CEO almost $7M. Here's my concrete suggestion, pay them less and spend that money on better things.
If your pitch is "but we're a part of Mozilla, not a part of Mozilla", you need to work on that messaging, because come on.
