@strypey Here's a more balanced view of Zuckerberg -- but it comes to the same kind of negative judgement (without mentioning #enshittification) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hjmf74

Animation of blue equilateral triangles sliding around each other.
#Tiling #TilingTuesday #Pattern #Geometry #MathArt #MathsArt

The central triangle is stationary: the six three surrounding it move in an anti-clockwise direction. As the hexagons move they reveal white hexagonal holes. The edges of the holes increase until they the same length as the edges of the triangles: the holes then close up.

@ngons Thanks, the translucent effect of the origami paper was a happy accident.

Animation of a tiling changing from triangles hexagons to double-rhombuses and hexagons (and back again). #tiling #TilingTuesday

Tiling of blue triangles and white hexagons. The edges of the triangles transform into double-rhombuses and create a triangular weave of strips with hexagonal hones. The animation loops between these the two patterns.
