"Harris cannot control who endorses her. But her warm response to Dick Cheney’s approval should be greeted with alarm — particularly when war criminals are welcomed into the Harris fold while antiwar protesters are rejected." https://sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-king

This is a thoughtful piece; what Chris didn't see were some of the failure modes of Hixie's hubris when it came to inventing new elements in HTML5 (see also: "what we need is WASM and WebGPU" pipe dreams). But it's spot-on about how Google has turned away from the web, particularly on mobile, and empowered the Android team to facilitate a cozy anti-web duopoly:

At #FediForum, @ben called out that he linked to the @ProPublica donation drive on #Mastodon, and that yielded more donations than any other social media promotion on other platforms by the official account.
Huge.
We've seen hints of how the #Fediverse can have a positive impact on newsrooms, but this is the most tangible proof I've personally seen so far.

“A far-right activist known for her endless stream of sexist, homophobic, transphobic, anti-Muslim and occasionally antisemitic social media posts and public stunts, Ms. Loomer has made a name for herself over the past decade by unabashedly claiming 9/11 was “an inside job,” calling Islam “a cancer,” accusing Ron DeSantis’s wife of exaggerating breast cancer and claiming that President Biden was behind the attempt to assassinate Mr. Trump in July.”

Since the NextNav rules proposal (reorganize 900 MHz band, invite broadband data 5G in) got traction at FCC (ORI comments are here: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/10905692430822/1), I’m thinking that a proposal to renovate 219 MHz might just be in order?
If NextNav can get a proposal for rulemaking in front of the public, then we should be able to as well. 219 is a band with a spectrum management failure that has sided out amateur radio entirely. Last documented amateur activity was in the 1990s.
I presented about this band here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6ds6RBufHI
@OpenResearchIns is on board, the ARRL counsel is receptive.
Can’t think of a better crowd of folks than this one that might want to see more spectrum for amateur, educational, and experimental work.
Amateur activity is restricted to point to point digital links in the current rules, but perhaps mobile digital amateur might be something to propose?
Get in touch if you want to help be the change.

Did you know: the original Latin from which the term "liberal arts" is derived means "education given to free people"? "Liberal" here means free, as in freedom.
Liberal arts wasn't meant to be a niche degree; it was supposed to be ways we enjoy our freedom. We were *meant* to create art, study history, read poetry, and philosophize with our time. That was the point. That's what freedom was for.
Kinda makes you realize how much capitalism has put itself at odds with that notion of freedom, huh?

Oh well, I suppose if I better understood biology, I would also be frustrated with how "terribly" engineered it is, and yet it's been pretty successful technology deployed on this planet for billions of years. Maybe that's apples and oranges, but then again... :thonking:

I mean, it's possible that this is just what happens to any technology that is widely deployed over time and has to interface with humans in multiple places with conflicting goals and requirements, and it's also possible that improvements are lost in the larger jank signal, but... it's so disappointing and... not enjoyable.

Look, I know we've been collectively pouring billions of dollars and possibly billions of person years building out and building on the web stack, and it works in that we're all using it, but it is just super frustratingly janky in multiple dimensions. Some sort of hypercube of jankiness.

Mastodon FeedIf AI companies used a significant amount renewable energy, we'd definitely hear about it, and every piece of slop would have a green logo on it. The silence means they have nothing good to say.
When hardware uses a lot of energy, it can become instant junk when a more energy-efficient generation comes out, because the cost of (new hardware + less energy) can be less than (free hardware + more energy). The effect is so significant it even makes old PCs not worth using.

One thing of many that frustrates me about this systemd world we live in is that the whole notion of a dependency tree is entirely one way.
If I activate something, the whole dependency tree under it lights up, and that's totally fine, that's a reasonable thing to do, but after I deactivate it the whole tree under it just keeps trucking away.
Is anyone working on a computer-as-campsite, aggressively use-only-what's-required, clean-up-when-finished process manager?
