every pound of military explosives made by DPRK factories for Russia is that much less fertilizer made for the next civilian planting season in the DPRK… keeping the Russian Army resupplied means setting up future DPRK civilian starvation. these tradeoffs are well known, & we have seen the result of these choices before.

First, Mozilla started to collect your search data in Firefox, promised to "not sharing anything with 3rd parties". Ok.
Mozilla, moments later, just aquired the advertising firm "Anonym"[1], which is now technically not a 3rd party anymore.
#Mozilla is now becoming an advertising company, using your search data (no matter which search engine you use) to feed their pockets.
Face it: Firefox, built mostly by volunteers, is now owned by an advertising company. Sure has nothing to do with their yearly CEOs salary raises?

“Auditors studied ShotSpotter’s accuracy over several months in 2022 and 2023. When it was performing at its best, only 20 percent of ShotSpotter’s alerts actually revealed shootings, they found. Often, it did even worse. Of the 940 alerts officers responded to last June, only 13 percent corresponded to confirmed shootings.
And in 2022, the audit found, the system also failed to detect more than 200 real incidents of gunfire in Manhattan.”

‘For many years, researchers have tried to determine whether the amount of time a child spent on social media contributed to poor mental health, and “the results have been really mixed, with probably the consensus being that no, it’s not related,” said Dr. Mitch Prinstein, the chief science officer at the American Psychological Association.
What seems to matter more, he said, is what they are doing when they are online… ‘

🔥 New blog post!
I recently posted about driving the CSS WG resolution to add if() to CSS last week.
But this is still a long way away. What can we do meanwhile?In this mammoth article, I rounded up the state of the art right now wrt inline conditionals.
One thing is for sure: after 4000 words of this, no-one could remain unconvinced that we *desperately* need that if()!

The artist Edward Hopper lived and had his studio on Washington Square in an NYU-owned apartment, from which, despite his considerable fame, the university persistently tried to evict him.
Once he died, the University preserved the apartment as "The Edward Hopper Studio".
This story encapsulates most of what you need to know about university politics, NYC real estate, and the regard society has for actual working artists.

Mastodon FeedWho could have guessed that a plastic recycling method promoted by Exxon requires 9 times more new fossil fuels than the amount of plastic it manages to successfully recycle?
And the US allows creative accounting that ends up calling that 100% recycled plastic, by counting byproducts like diesel as "recycled" "plastic".https://www.propublica.org/article/delusion-advanced-chemical-plastic-recycling-pyrolysis

AI responses on LinkedIn are actually a damning admission about what's so sick about its culture.
LinkedIn is a venue for performing our capitalist utility. In practice this means:
- Agreeableness
- Enthusiasm for the missions of others
- Conformity to norms
- Compliance with expectationAnd LinkedIn has looked at the problem and said "there's no reason a robot can't do this.”

My dad was a child refugee in Nazi-occupied France from age 7-10 before immigrating to the U.S. I'm grateful for the kindness, generosity and courage of all those who helped him and enabled our family's survival.
Today, World Refugee Day, millions of people are striving to reach safe haven. Whatever your religion, ethnicity, nationality, or politics, the experience of being a refugee is universal. Let's greet them with empathy, kindness and generosity. They're not the other. They are us.

She didn’t.
