I would like to, in my free time, start working on an iOS app that people might find useful. What is a privacy-focused use case that you’d like to see an app for and where you think I can meaningfully contribute? Let me know!

The fact that he doesn't like Taylor Lorenz makes me like her more.

Attachments:

• Well-regarded by whom? Lorenz is a hack—a self-proclaimed social media expert done in by her own "private" Instagram post describing President Joe Biden as a "war criminal" that she subsequently lied about having posted. She didn't "exit" the Post. She was obviously and rightfully fired.

The way this Tech Crunch article is phrased, you'd might walk away thinking that the Ford Foundation's "large grant" made up a lion's share of the #SocialWebFoundation's financial support.

But only $50k of the One Million Dollars in funding for the #SWF came from The Ford Foundation, back in February of this year.

The other $950,000?

• The Social Web Foundation (SWF) has some backing from Meta as well, alongside other major implementors of the ActivityPub protocol, including the social magazine app Flipboard, newsletter platform Ghost, Mastodon, and others. The Ford Foundation has also offered the organization a large grant to get the project started. In total, SWF is closing in on $1 million in financial support.

Last night, @bcantrill and I were joined by our colleague Ben Naecker to talk about OxQL—the Oxide Query Language we’ve developed for interacting with our metrics system.

“Another query language!” the comment sections responded, “why can’t you *just*… ?” So we explained why we can’t *just* …! Along the way we talked about metrics, ClickHouse, histograms, parser generators, and the beauty of domain specific languages.

1. Sleepy Hollow (1999). What a very odd movie. I can't believe this didn't flop. It actually made its money back by a considerable margin. There's a scene where Johnny Depp does a mostly off-camera autopsy of a pregnant woman and it's strongly implied that the Headless Horseman decapitated and stole both her head and that of her fetus in utero. It's played for laughs; the camera stays on Johnny just long enough for the corpse to squirt blood on his steampunk goggles like a grapefruit

I have been following Katerina Galitskaya on LinkedIn for a while, she posts really great animations and explanations of RF fields with antennas. I asked her to be on The Amp Hour to talk more about how she thinks about antennas and how listeners could benefit from her wisdom. It's a whole segment of the electronics field that is magical to me, so it was great to learn more myself!

"'When Rape was Legal: The Untold History of Sexual Violence during Slavery' is the first book to solely focus on the widespread rape perpetrated against enslaved black women by white men in the United States. The routine practice of sexual violence against enslaved black women by white men, the motivations for this rape, and the legal context that enabled this violence are all explored and scrutinized. Enlightening analysis found that rape was not merely a result of sexual desire and opportunity, or simply a form of punishment and racial domination, but instead encompassed all of these dimensions as part of the identity of white masculinity. This provocative text highlights the significant role that white women played in enabling sexual violence against enslaved black women through a variety of responses and, at times, through their lack of response to the actions of the white men in their lives. Significantly, this book finds that sexual violence against enslaved black women was a widespread form of oppression used to perform white masculinity and reinforce an intersectional hierarchy. Additionally, white women played a vital role by enabling this sexual violence and perpetuating the subordination of themselves and those subordinate to them."
