#Judge in #Trump #ClassifiedDocuments Case Rejected Suggestions to Step Aside

Shortly after #AileenCannon drew the assignment in June 2023 to oversee #Trump’s classified documents case, 2 more experienced #Florida #judges on the federal bench urged her to pass it up & hand it off to another jurist.

She didn’t.

Just because large scale social media has trained us out of creating the internet we need doesn't mean we can't have it.

Once upon a time, people designed and curated digital spaces according to their goals and values. We can still do that, and we can use it to meet our missions.

I understand why people make the choice, but in light of decades of development on C compilers and undefined, unspecified, and implementation-defined behaviors, I sometimes wonder about the wisdom of compiling your cool new language with its own special semantics and memory model down to C. 🤔

So long plastic air pillows: Amazon shifting to recycled paper filling for packages in North America

Amazon is moving from putting plastic air pillows in its packages in North America to using recycled paper filling instead, a move that’s more environmentally friendly and is said to secure items in boxes just the same, if not better

@rust Luma is slightly problematic because it means gamma-compressed grayscale, and it'd be inaccurate to use it for linear light.

OTOH shader folks use RGBA for normals and height maps 🤷

hard as it is to change long-standing patterns of thinking, we must all try to remember to build accessible into our initial designs rather than tacking it on to finished code as an afterthought.

I have this problem, like pretty much everyone else architecting systems.

Meanwhile, in reality: “The Fedora Project is not a separate legal entity or organization; Red Hat retains liability for its actions.”

Who owns Red Hat?

#IBM.

What is IBM? A 150 billion-dollar corporation.

Cut the “we’re volunteers” bullshit, acknowledge your ableist culture, and do better.
