If your email is provided by your web hosting company or domain registrar, there’s a good chance that a company called MailChannels is providing that service. MailChannels is a super nice company, but they recently made the sad decision to block inbound email from the omg.lol email server.

#Tiktok is a threat to the powers that be and is a powerful organizing tool. The security issues with every single corporate social media are very real but the way the American government is going after Tiktok is strategic. It started the boycotts on Starbucks and Kelloggs, it has organized labour better and now it is coming after AIPAC. Biden banning it is the most Biden thing ever.

Have been working on a larger piece about what the frick just happened with PWAs and iOS in the EU, but on the way I needed to explain why browser teams get funded, and instead of burying that in a 1K word footnote, publishing it out ahead as a stand-alone post:

I wanted a practical and reliable way to inspect chips, so I built a robot to do IRIS (infra-red, in situ) imaging.

This is the first part of a series describing the robot - I'm kicking it off with the project's motivation and my findings so far. Future posts will go into more detail on the implementation.

Oh, real quick before I go to bed to have an hour stolen from my sleep by the DST fairy... If time travel ever was invented, and I had access to it, I'm pretty sure I'd waste a few trips to go attend some shows for bands I never had the chance to see live. Concrete Blonde would be one.

Balatro is the first video game I've ever played that made me feel jealous. I feel like I've been trying to invent a game just like this for like years, and then it just comes along and exists already.
