The ARRL will begin utilizing the black smoke / white smoke method when choosing a new CEO.
The elected state and regional representatives will be flown to Connecticut, locked inside headquarters and begin the process of choosing a new leader. During this process external AC power will be cut from the building and they will only be able to communicate with each other via FT8 and QRP transmitters connected to dummy loads.

This day 30 years ago, a new employee at Netscape named Brendan Eich was hard at work creating a web scripting language called Mocha. It would soon be re-named JavaScript, in a dubious attempt to co-brand it with another new web programming language from May 1995, Java. https://cybercultural.com/p/1995-the-birth-of-javascript/
p.s. according to @allenwb and Eich: "There is no known record of the specific dates but Brendan Eich believes it was May 6–15." https://zenodo.org/records/3707008#.X6XOHVMzbDo

"58 wallets have made over $10 million each from President Donald Trump’s meme coin, totaling $1.1 billion in profits, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis said.
764,000 wallets of mostly small holders have lost money on $TRUMP, according to the firm.
The $TRUMP event, set for May 22 at Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C., includes a reception for the 25 wallets with the largest balance, along with a White House tour."

If you have a valid VAT ID, you can sign up to UpCloud with the promo `eu5000` to get €5000 of free credits that expire in 3 months.
To an individual that might sound like a weird deal, but saying the quiet part out loud, the point of this is to entice small-medium (European?) businesses to use us while they build, then they go "wow UpCloud good, let's stay!" when the credits are used up :blobcat:
If you or someone you know is about to build out an org on the cloud, maybe they'll like this!

Yeah, man...it's cool you only sent 177K of JS (> 0.5MB unzipped), but, like, did you check to see if it was *actually* fast? What's that? It includes *React*. I'm sure it's fine then.

“I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.” #MonMothma

Mastodon FeedThis just in! The CEO of Fiver says AI is coming for my job.
He's probably rich and Fiver is definitely a company whose name I have heard, so it's probably true.

If I hear one more person talk about “putting our brightest people toward solving climate change”, I will scream.
Climate change is not some deep mystery waiting for a scientific breakthrough: we know exactly what causes it and how we address that. We have SOLVED climate change.
The problem is not “finding the solution”, the problem is convincing literally anyone in power that the solution is better than building billionaire bunkers in new zealand.
