Another prominent tech analyst writes an insightful essay about his decision to walk away from Xitter. Long, but very much worth your time to read.

Hello, Mastodonians of the United States. Today is election day in this country, so if you have not already done so, please go and vote. There will be people and things you will want to vote for, and possibly, people and things you will want to vote against. Don't let the polls close without you having been in them. Thank you.

It has been a while since I posted an update on Surfer, the vcd viewer I and a few others have been working on.

I'll fix that with a 🧵 about all the new stuff we've added

First, here is a quick video showing what it looks like now: It showcases some navigation, the CLI interface and the Spade translation which enables exploring Spade types natively. This system is extensible, so it should be easy to add other languages or formats!

• Private Eye clipping: Hamas crimes will not be forgotten until they buy premier League team. Downing Street confirmed today that Hamas will never be forgiven for the atrocities it committed on Israeli soil - until it buys a Premier League Team. Said a spokesperson, "The UK will never look the other way at unspeakable brutality and murders, until Hamas is confirmed as the new owner of Manchester United, Crystal Palace or Wolverhampton Wanderers. Hamas will continue to be seen as barbaric savages, with no respect for human life, until the sale goes through, but provided they spend big in the transfer window in next year's Champions League, their supporters will happily chant 'Jihad!' at both home and away fixtures."

Urging a federal judge to disregard Donald Trump‘s latest attempt to cast off his indictment in Washington, D.C., for allegedly conspiring to overturn the 2020 election, prosecutors at the special counsel’s office argue Trump’s criminality “stands alone” in history and that even if he genuinely believed the 2020 election was stolen, he still used “fraud and deceit” as a means to achieve illicit ends.
