Hackers showed me (there's video) how a website vulnerability let them locate, unlock, honk the horn, start ignition of any of millions Kias in seconds, just by reading a car's license plate.

They found similar bugs for a dozen carmakers over the last two years.

My toxic trait is that I firmly believe that NPM is a backend technology that should vend no code you actually send to a browser.

You can now re-arrange media in the post you're composing and get an accurate preview of how it's going to be laid out. We've also made slight improvements to the media tab on your profile. And clicking the ALT badge will now bring up the alt text!

#DevinTownsend's performance of The Moth in Groningen is already sold out, both days. It only went up today. I guess I don't have to think about how to make the travel work now.

Another day, another iOS web showstopper:

Real question: if Apple was *explicitly* trying to hamstring the web (without getting caught), what would it do differently?

RIP Dame Maggie Smith (1934-2024)

Among many other roles, the British actress was brilliant in Othello (1965), California Suite (1978), Clash of the Titans (1981), Hook (1991), Sister Act (1992), Gosford Park (2001), Downton Abbey, and of course, the Harry Potter series (2001–2011).

We'll miss her.

I decided to (hastily, probably clumsily, definitely verbosely) put down all of my thoughts on the Matt Mullenweg/WP Engine fiasco.

In short: I believe it's in the best interest of WordPress that Matt's powers be severely curtailed, if not entirely removed.

okay, if this is in the dlang docs as an example

dt += 10.days + 100.seconds;

then I’m going to guess I can get a subscription expiryDate to happen easily/quickly/cheaply… yay

Mastodon nerds, this is an urgent message: please keep nerding out on things you are passionate about and then taking us along on your deep dives. Share your pics and discoveries. Muse. Show us dust motes and explain how you learned that no two are the same.

A passionate engagement with the beauty and weirdness of the world we have is a hope project. It is a meaning-making project.

It is a resistance project.

My talk on End-to-end Encryption in Local-first Apps is available 🥳

In the talk I covered four key pillars:
- Sync
- Key Agreement
- Establishing Trust
- Identity
and for each I explained the why and how with examples and compared local-first frameworks

So I made a #BearBlog.

It's called, Web 3.0 Slept With My Wife.

Why? I don't know, man. Why are you asking so many questions.

Anyway, I intend to write short notes about the future of the web. There's a first post up but it's probably not representative of the tone I'll carry through the rest of the way. I want to get weird. We'll see.

Before you boldly type that you have no sympathy for people who aren't getting out of the way of #HurricaneHelene , please remember that the Big Bend / Panhandle of Florida has effectively zero regional public transit.

People who can't drive (due to economics or disability) have already been abandoned en masse by #Florida's governments & US automobile-centric city "planning".

Don't harden your heart toward the many people—unsurprisingly, folks already marginalized—that #America has abandoned.
