It's interesting how conversations about the #IndieWeb, #SmallWeb, and even federation, aren't happening on #BlueSky in any meaningful way.
In fact, none of the major microblogging platforms are engaged in conversations about the web as much as #Mastodon from what I can tell.

I took a quick peek at this 50s noir called "My Gun Is Quick," a Spillane adaptation. I haven't sat down to properly watch it yet but 5 minutes in, this makes the Columbia noirs I watched a while back look hilariously refined. A lot of noir parodies think they're imitating Bogart but they're really hitting this.

I used the `light-dark` function quite a lot in recent demos. It makes implementing dark mode so easy!
Drop this in your base styles:
```
:root {
color-scheme: light dark;
}
```
Then, any time you define a color, do it like this…. to assign the first color to light mode, and the second to the dark mode.
```
color: light-dark(#000, #fff);
background-color: light-dark(#fff, #999);
```
This will save you from writing lots of conditional code inside `prefers-color-scheme` media queries.
Mastodon FeedI like to minimize the size of binaries I build. Unremovable debugging strings annoyed me, so I've added an option to completely neuter `Debug::fmt` in #Rustlang

"...demonize the Jewish state and promote hate on campus. The guest speakers’ claims reeked of antisemitism throughout."
These efforts to lockdown a #brightline test for #antisemitism are very much about this: demonizing #israel . That point is spot on and very revealing of the underlying #antisemitism which is the driving force. The rest is just cherries on top.
Yes, distinguish #antizionism , and criticize away. But consider motivations.
Mastodon FeedReblogged by jsonstein@masto.deoan.org ("Jeff Sonstein"):
What I'd emphasize here is that if #academia is *demonizing* Israel they're not just criticizing the state, but are displaying a hidden agenda of antisemitism. As distinct from antizionism.
It's subtle.
Not sure how that relates to grade school curriculum, however!

There are childeren as young as 10 and 12 in the US without their parents. (But sometimes with extended family who may or may not be on their side) working the hardest agriculture jobs.
One of my students here in the Bronx told me about how he worked picking in Texas "when he was younger" (he was 14 when I met him) His mother had to either leave them at home or she could bring them to work with her if they "helped out." The children were not paid.
That was in 2006.

I need to invent a time machine, go back a decade in time or more, and tell myself that one can be a brilliant cryptographer and an even greater imbecile. What’s the point of being so great at something if you end up as such an unimpressive human in most other respects? This is why most well-balanced people focus instead on good work, but also on friendships, sports, health, family, art, culture, hobbies, travel, and especially understanding all the different parts of the world.

I'm back! Borked my laptop by upgrading #Ubuntu to the recent 24.04 beta. Looks like the upgrade process removed/disabled #AMD #GPU drivers, and for a while I was left with looking at a plain non-GUI shell, which required an actual real-life magnifying glass, because of my HiDPI display!
Now it's operational again with built-in drivers, but I still want to figure out how to bring the AMD 3-rd part drivers back and restore OpenCL support.
