I may have earwormed myself yesterday while tracking down the source of a song:

Actually, my brain is alternating between that song and Shannon Curtis's version of "Wouldn't it be Good":

My brain is a bad medley making machine.

I have a pet theory that when tech companies are small, they have a higher number of neurodivergent people to neurotypical people. As they grow, they hire more neurotypical people. Eventually the environment becomes hostile to neurodivergence, and there's and exodus that takes a lot of innovation with it

Dear @PET_Symposium attendees: register for the #PETS2024 Speed Mentoring session!

Many have registered already, but the more people sign up early, the better we can cater the event towards you! We also need more mentors to balance things out!

TIL about Prometheus, a bristlecone pine that was unfortunately cut down in 1964, where it was discovered the tree was at least 4,800 years old at the time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus_(tree)

I found out about it through Caroline Landau's work where she cast blown glass of 3D scanned remnants of the tree.

If anyone here doesn't know about the astonishingly intricate hand-machined electromechanical contraptions by Tatjana van Vark, a dutch trans woman, allow me to happily introduce you.

Among her creations are an Enigma-esque cryptography machine, including teletext and morse send/receive attachments, and a mechanical Fourier analyser "Harmonium". She has also carefully restored a mechanical telephone exchange and a WW2 aerial bombing computer.

Worth considering by all those wishing the bullet hadn't missed. America heals herself not by assassinating anyone who might be a proto-fascist, but by electing leaders who will strengthen democracy and the rule of law.

This weekend I finished a project building patio stairs from scratch, bought a new weed whacker, got my oil changed, and edged the yard.

Might just put on some Foo Fighters, drink an IPA, and ascend to a state of pure dad energy.

Hey look, it's Non-Binary People's Day 💛🤍💜💙🥳

Remember: there's not one right way to be non-binary. Don't fall for the binary/non-binary binary! You can be multiple things at once, because life is messy and fun. ID labels are useful - but they're tags, not folders.

Hi, I'm a woman and also non-binary (a non-binary-non-binary) and also trans. A lesbian who is also pan. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Happy at-least-one-of-those-things day.

Two updates to this thread.

Update 1: In this thread I complain Mozilla does not provide specific technical details about this feature. It turns out there *is* a document with the technical details, on Github:

https://github.com/mozilla/explainers/tree/main/ppa-experiment

It also explains (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Origin_Trials) which sites are participating in the feature.

I am linking this document because I believe the first five words do more to discredit what Mozilla is doing here than anything I could say:

"Mozilla is working with Meta"

Also, it's been drivin' me crazy, so I finally broke down and found the song that's in that boosted video. It seems to be some sort of remix/mashup between at least two songs: DJ Casper's "Cha Cha Slide" and Lady Gaga's "Always Remember Us This Way".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4XkQvZj3Ao

I'd like to find a better quality version.

Edit: I'm seein' a DJ Johnny credited with the remix using Lady Gaga's song as the title.
