@xinit When I built DNA Lounge, we had a number of walls that were made of drywall. And over the years, someone would punch them, and then the wall would have a hole in it. But instead of patching it, my policy was, we only replace drywall with plywood. Because on the next punch, the wall will not break, it will be the hand.

This is a story about a third party provider failing you and moving to yet another third party provider instead of moving in house.

Although the growth rate (%) of global CO2 emissions has gone down, the increase in absolute terms is still pretty much a straight line:
On average, we're increasing the amount of CO2 that we dump in the atmosphere by around 450 million tonnes every year. Making the climate crisis worse faster.

The EU will launch the digital euro as a 100% European digital payments system to replace reliance on Visa, Mastercard, and Apple and Google Pay, with the European Central Bank issuing a digital form of cash. It will be built entirely in Europe, have zero transaction fees, instant payments, and strong privacy, giving the EU full control over its payments infrastructure.

So, the first of the year is coming up quickly. As many of you know, I've been unemployed from full-time employment for quite a long time. I've been working part-time jobs to make ends meet but I need to do more. I've decided to start doing some consulting.

I want to start offering a few services:

1. Building websites for individuals, small businesses, or non-profits.
2. Helping individuals, small businesses, non-profits with certain Information Technology needs. Mainly, Linux, Open Source Software, and networking.

I'm really hoping that this turns into something more than just small consulting work. I would love to start doing this full-time. At nearly 59, I don't see myself ever getting full-time employment any other way.

The greatest piece of advice I was ever given was this: when you stop work for the day, never stop at a 'clean' break point; stop in the middle of something you can finish easily.

That way the next morning you're not confronted with a a dauntingly blank page or an empty function to write, but a half-finished one you can get back into without difficulty.

I can't remember who gave me that advice, but I've stuck to it dogmatically whenever I can.

Like, yeah, fighting against AI may not seem as important as fighting against violent racism and trans eliminationism. I get it.

But also, it's the *same people pushing all of it*. It is as important because *it's a different part of the same fight*.

Giving up on AI means ceding ground to fascists, ground that they will absolutely fucking use on every other goddamned front. I'm not about to do that.

On Substack, @pluralistic I have described a subtle example of Apple giving itself an unfair competitive advantage over its developers: https://luccogzest.substack.com/p/apples-macos-apps-are-the-weak-link : Apple can create links from Calendar app to specific messages; but it does NOT provide an API for developers (and automators) or UI to do this. This limits tools like Hookmark which enable users to link most of the information on their Macs (emails, files, tasks, etc.) per https://hookproductivity.com. I can explain in more detail if you like.

so you can exploit bluetooth to hijack call control on headphones and use that to take over a whatsapp account

from there you hijack amazon, which offers whatsapp as an auth channel

great demo of why all this big tech platforms using one another as auth channels was a terrible idea

I saw my aunt this weekend. I always admired her growing up: she was a dedicated dancer, bird watcher, traveler, and general arts-enjoyer. I took up ballet and piano because I wanted to be just like her.

I just found out that she started all of those hobbies after she got sober in her 40s, shortly before I was born. Her defining characteristics, in my eyes, have occupied less than half of her life.

It was a nice reminder that you can start a new chapter of your life whenever you’d like.

Does anyone else find it ironic that we use the federated analogy, implying that there is a federal power that binds us together?

I mean, don't get me wrong. I think it's better than social web. Just thinking out loud.
