Someone just said "About time."
Nope. This was incredibly speedy for an investigation this complex and a crime this multi-faceted.
The Georgia probe was a fraction the size and this moved faster (and Fani Willis was appointed a month before Garland.)
Willis has fewer resources, of course, but the DOJ lawyers have been strained to the breaking point.

💥BREAKING NEWS 💥
Special counsel informs Donald J. Trump he is target in 2020 election probe
Trump will have the opportunity to plead his case in front of the federal grand jury - he won't because lying to a grand jury is a FELONY!
The Trump indictment will then follow shortly thereafter!

“Target letters are typically given to subjects in a criminal investigation to put them on notice that they are facing the prospect of indictment.
Trump similarly received a target letter from Smith before he was indicted by a grand jury in Florida for his alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House and his alleged efforts to obstruct the government's investigation.”

I mean, I'm probably overreacting as every mastodon 3rd party service or app has the same token, but I'm paranoid about trust and privacy.
The last thing I want is for someone to trust a Pixelfed server only for the admin to take advantage of the trust and read their DMs for example.
Even though I trust our admins and believe none of them would do that, just the possibility makes me uneasy.

If you live in a colored area on the map pay attention to your local meteorologists and your weather apps. Have ways to be updated on the weather situation in your area. Be prepared. Have a plan for severe weather.

Mastodon FeedLast Friday was our monthly pen and paper evening again and I finally had the time to participate. The gang had been playing Starfinder for a few rounds and I was finally able to join with my Verthani Technomancer Triz. Very fun to play, as she is specialized in junk. :D Can't wait to continue playing!

- Four chibi drawings of the Starfinder characters of our current group. My Verthani Technomancer, in a mid-air jump position, smirking as she is conjuring a grenade. A Kasatha with three of his arms on his hips and one hand at his face, looking puzzled. A human mechanic with a large wrench thrown over his shoulders, one foot on his toolbox, one eye peaking out under his mechanics hat. And our feisty little Skittermander wearing a poncho, large hat, goggles and his right three arms poking out of the poncho, two holding guns, one pointing upwards, the other towards the viewer.

it's funny how much the phrase "best x ever" or sometimes just "ever" has been adopted in other languages. I've seen examples of both forms before, as in "best jogo ever" and "melhor jogo ever"

"Not the odds, but the stakes."
That's my shortand for the organizing principle we most need from journalists covering the 2024 election. Not who has what chances of winning, but the consequences for our democracy. Not the odds, but the stakes.
Today the New York Times published an example of stakes reporting:
"Trump and his allies are planning a sweeping expansion of presidential power over the machinery of government...."

Had missed this post about Next.js, but love it so much:
https://calendar.perfplanet.com/2022/mobile-performance-of-next-js-sites/
I did a very similar thing back in 2018 when I was first "California Asked" (when someone tells you they're doing something in the form of a question) if it was a good idea to invest browser team resources in Next (obvs, lol, no).
My spreadsheet was even more brutal because computers were 4 years slower. Maybe by 2030 computers will be fast enough to suffer Next.js?
I live in hope.

The failure of the Internet to deliver its promise is particularly noticeable when you hunt for repair manuals for a product from the 90s. Used to be, the information would either be there or not there, finable or unfindable.
Now, there are hundreds of algorithmically generated sites claiming to have it just because it appeared in their search logs, generating potemkin village content traps with endless paging, broken-thumbnail named-like-the-file-you-want but actually-just-ebay-photos bullshit

Friends, their idea is so much better than what drag racing actually is! Their idea: Drag performers in full dress, racing go-karts
