Again, this could have been any number of things, but the landing looked pretty good on ADS-B, anyway.

Ah, seems have broken out of the circle pattern, now heading southwest (maybe toward Nellis AFB). Just descended through 14000 feet.

Squawk code 7700 is a catch-all emergency indicator. It can mean anything from a serious problem with the aircraft to a passenger with a medical issue.

In this case, the steady altitude and consistent circle pattern suggests the pilot is not having any trouble controlling the plane. At the very least, all the wings and engines are probably still attached.

Seems to have leveled off at 17000 feet, still circling around Mesquite.

Starting a gentle descent, but still circling.

Looks like Corporate #infosec has made it's choice.

#RSAC is filled with talks embracing AI and making it "secure".

And they invited and encouraged the Trump regime to spread its disinformation - fully sanctioned and encouraged by the conference leadership(and by conference attendees who laughed at the regime's jokes and lies and issued no challenges or stands during the talk).

With the ostracization of #ChrisKrebs by industry and the full embrace of Kristi Noem as a speaker, this was the moment that infosec made its bed.

Y'all lie in it now.

Still just circling around at a level 22000 feet, squawing 7700 as if there's no tomorrow.

Planes set their transponders to the emergency code by mistake fairly often, but military flights do so much less often.

“DISCO31”, a military E3G AWACS plane, appears to have declared an emergency (squawking 7700) , circling northeast of Las Vegas.

🤩 I’m in awe at how amazing this community is. It hasn’t even been 24 hours since we began our May charity event, and we’ve already reached nearly $3,200 in donations and matches for 18 different organizations (many of which are local to our members). The sheer generosity is beyond inspiring. :prami_hearts:

If you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, stop by and see how we’re making a difference together! https://home.omg.lol/giving/gift-tracker

@jepyang Awesome!

Here in Denmark, there was this dude, who would rock up to right-wing extremist protests armed with a saxophone and a sign saying something like: “Free jazz against racism”. Then he would start producing the loudest and most hideous sounds on the sax, and he would continue relentlessly, until the extremists packed their shit up and left.

The COVID vaccines have been taken by billions of people, saved millions of lives, and are some of the most rigorously tested medical products in history.

Someone who has zero experience in vaccine development should not be influencing the approval process. This will kill people.

"they did not even possess gender (a social role, as opposed to sex, which is biological)"

This is a quote from a book published in 1999 about native American cultures from thousands of years ago. Apparently, it wasn't Democrats and Obama personally who "invented" all this gender stuff.

The federal government seems to be liquidating its supply of COVID tests, and you can get 300 or more free. That's supposedly the minimum, although I ordered 300, and they sent me 360 because they come in boxes of 120.

I'm now essentially "that lady in a hat who keeps trying to give everyone free COVID tests."

The tests I got expire in July, and the page says the program was still active as of yesterday, so get some for your community!

New Kitten Release 🥳

https://kitten.small-web.org

(Run `kitten update` to update your dev machines. Production machines will automatically update in a couple of hours.)

• You can now add a generic script block to your markdown pages (see https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/114432417394114105)

• Markdown pages can now be `KittenPage` instances and attach `KittenComponent` instances (so you get a full server-side component hierarchy with an event-based workflow; ideal for authenticated pages where you can be use only the author of the page will be accessing them and thus the additional memory and processing overhead are not issues. Isn’t the Small Web great? Only having instances of one makes it possible to optimise so many things for the human experience instead of vertical scale of the data farming machine.)

• Two new examples showcase the new features: https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/branch/main/examples/streaming-html/markdown-script-simple-components and https://codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/branch/main/examples/streaming-html/markdown-kitten-components

• Attributes with object values are no longer serialised into the DOM (but your components’ render functions will continue to receive them, of course.) This is because only string values make sense for attributes in the context of the HTML DOM. (You can still, of course, have stringified representations of objects in attributes, as used by the `data` attribute to pass data from nodes to event handers on the server.)

Tired of doing this every few weeks to keep up with the drift of the shitty RTC?
Just add NTP to your microwave oven. The home appliance industry does not want you to know this simple trick:
