‘Ms. Farah Griffin, who resigned from the Trump administration in December 2020, garnered wide attention with a tweet she posted on Jan. 6, 2021: “Dear MAGA — I am one of you. Before I worked for @realDonaldTrump, I worked for @MarkMeadows & @Jim_Jordan & the @freedomcaucus. I marched in the 2010 Tea Party rallies. I campaigned w/ Trump & voted for him. But I need you to hear me: the Election was NOT stolen. We lost.”’

As a society, we've become overly dependent on Big Tech.

Too many of us have mindlessly adopted the convenient digital tools and services pushed out by Silicon Valley, without considering the consequences.

And we have to start making better choices.

in-app webviews are the worst... somehow i got into a state where twitter.com was loaded in a webview INSIDE the x app with a banner prompting me to open it in x. this would be so confusing to the average person ("but i'm already in the x app and i'm already logged in").

instead of the open web we ended up with apps that each have their own partitioned view of the web

It’s been a while since I crimped Ethernet cables. Thankfully I knew enough to know that these instructions were wrong, so I ignored them and used a different reference.

Only later did I notice that the instructions are *technically correct* but written in a way to be difficult to use/verify. Everyone involved in publishing them should be ashamed.

Attachments:

• A photograph of black and white instructions for crimping an RJ45 connector onto an Ethernet cable. A table at the bottom lists the T568B wire ordering as white/orange, orange, white/blue, blue, white/green, green, white/brown, brown. Circled in red, a separate column lists the pin order as 1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 6, 7, 8.

Kimmel just told the most witty joke of the #Oscars. Everything else was rehearsed and rather bland.

Well, this is a fun project to suggest when people ask for intro print + electronics ideas. The same concept could be used to make linear sliders, too.

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. I’ve tried to work with their support team to resolve this over the past two weeks, but they don’t seem to want to change their mind about it. 😥 (continues)

#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.

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.
