Who else is going to watch Devin Townsend's #TheMoth premiere on Friday? Bought my ticket for the livestream.

Anyway, I have recently been informed that "postgrey" is old and busted and "postscreen" is the new hotness. The more you know dot gif.

Companies like Bambu Lab are what we call an open source parasite.

They only support it when they directly profit from it.

bribecoding is a new phenomenon where you pay open source developers a living wage to work on projects that your business uses

Well the good news is, the Trump regime definitely doesn't have any immediate plans to invade Greenland. Because if those did exist, Pete Hegseth would have drunk texted those plans directly to the editor of Teen Vogue or some shit.

@IndyRichard @pluralistic If we ban private jets, there's a real risk that one day you’ll find yourself sharing a flight with Elon Musk, his 30-person security detail, and a DOGE staffer named DonkeyTaint. And his youngest son, THX-1138-RoboCop-Goebbels, will kick the back of your seat continuously from four minutes after take-off until just before landing.

Until we can make it law that the hyper-rich have to travel in cargo, I say we shouldn't risk it.

who would have thought the people behind throwing a press conference at four seasons total landscaping would accidentally invite a journalist on an illegal group chat

I’m a paying customer of 404 Media, but I can’t bring myself to read more than the first couple of sentences of their recent “AI Slop” and “Brainrot” stories: https://www.404media.co/tag/ai/

It is beyond belief how terrible people can be. And how eager Big Tech is to facilitate them.

Very hard to avoid burn-it-all-down-and-sow-the-ruins-with-salt thinking.

My goal: When a spammer delivers mail to my mail server with a forged "dnalounge.com" address in the "From:" header (as opposed to the envelope), it does not get delivered.

I believe the proper way to do this is to have OpenDMARC enforce the DMARC/SPF records on inbound email.

However, OpenDMARC seems to be doing just crazy nonsense. Can anyone explain to me how to actually debug it? E.g....

I’m seeing a lot of “WWDC was announced!”

And not a lot of “Don’t come to the US because it’s incredibly unsafe for anyone who’s non-white or queer”

And absolutely zero “we understand the difficulties faced by developers overseas so we’re hosting events around the world so everyone can take part”

“Real men” aren’t afraid of anything! Except:

• DEI;
• Trans people;
• empathy;
• minor inconvenience for the common good;
• literal children who express opinions they don’t like;
• accountability;
• people from a different country or culture;
• being judged by the content of their character;
• math or science above a 5th-grade level;
• thin pieces of fabric over their nose and mouth;
• shots;
• actual free speech.

This list is incomplete.

I take the kiddo to the library fairly often, and in the kid area they have low tables with some paper and blank bookmarks. Unfortunately (but understandably), the art supplies on offer are big stubby crayons and some mediocre, kid safe markers.

I've made the best of the available art supplies, but I recently started to bring a ballpoint pen with me. I'm also trying to have some prepared ideas to try for the odd format.

Just some fun doodles.

My morning was improved one-hundred-fold by the discovery of this tiny Eastern Dwarf Treefrog on a citrus fruit.

It was no bigger than a beetle, and almost the same colour as the unripe fruit.

This comparison is offensively stupid, and says far more about the ignorance and delusions of Christians than anything about atheists.

In today's mastodon.social update we have significantly improved the media overlay in Mastodon's web app. You can double-tap to zoom in and out instead of clicking the 1:1 button, and panning and pinch-to-zoom work a lot smoother on touch devices. You can also finally swipe up or down to close the overlay.
