It’s probably institutionalist of me but I just don’t think that one’s entire presidential cabinet should have conflicts of interest with their personal businesses, be unable to pass an FBI background check, and not be allowed within 100 feet of a schoolyard

I'd missed this by @simon , but it's excellent and explains why so many calendar-adjacent systems are terrible to use in practice, particularly if you travel:

The NY Times refuses to cover the murder of Yeremi Colino, which took place in Manhattan the same day as the murder of the UHC CEO, because Colino was an immigrant child killed by a white supremacist who asked whether he could speak English. Just like NYPD refuses to carry out the same kind of manhunt with hourly updates on the killer. They only care about corporate tycoons, not teenagers being killed. This is how they cover for the hate crime.

Your AI clone could target your family, but there’s a simple defense - Ars Technica:

"For example, you could tell your parents, children, or spouse to ask for a word or phrase to verify your identity if something seems suspicious, such as “The sparrow flies at midnight,” “Greg is the king of burritos,” or simply “flibbertigibbet.” (As fun as these sound, your password should be secret and not the same as these.)"

Two years later.

Want to know one of the major reasons Mastodon didn't catch on with journalists and large website owners?

It is *invisible* in referrer statistics.

Here's my blog from the last month.

BlueSky now sends me more traffic than Bing.

How much traffic does Mastodon send? It is impossible to know due to the "noreferrer" header in all links.

(I'm not saying your privacy isn't important. But you can't grow a community if no-one knows you exist.)

There are few places on the web where someone can post a website and people will give really helpful feedback. Mastodon is one of those places.

Thank you all.

This year's Interlude (warcraft fancomic anthology) has been made available for you to read in full for FREE! I was once again able to contribute a story to this collection, and you should take a peak at how hard the team worked :3

Attachments:

• a comic page featuring four panels, depicting a scene in nature, that appears to be a fantasy elf with green hair tending to flowers tied to a trunk of a twisting tree. First panel: Title card that reads 'Regrowth by Emily L'Orange', and a pair of hands in close up with blue orchids. Second panel: a more zoomed out look at the scene, elf in the front in silhouette with the tree, and cliffs and waterfalls and floating islands in the background. Third panel: elf from about the waist up, fussing with the flowers Fourth panel: someone off to the side yells 'Archdruid! The alliance calls for aid!', the elf looks surprised and confused.

People in the video are my very talented friends from improv, Hannah and Cole. I gave them the general idea and they ran with it. Everything in the video is 100% improvised except for the tag line.

The UnitedHealthcare Gunman Understands the Surveillance State:

"This killing raises the possibility that our surveillance network—an intricate web meant to enhance public safety and private security—has become so obvious and intrusive that criminal perpetrators can figure out how to dodge it."

Added support for #gowin #fpga to Swim - the Spade build tool

If you have one of these laying around you can just `swim install-tools` and then `swim init --board tangnano9k` or `5k`

With this update, we're also no longer on an ancient oss-cad-suite which should give a nice area and fmax improvement on other FPGAs

Attachments:

• Two FPGA dev boards - one tangnano 9k and one tang nano 5k. The 9k is using 6 leds to count up, the 5k blinks an LED at 1 Hz
