I didn't think I would have to explain this on the Fediverse, but since I am still seeing people finger wag about the Waymos:

Google and Waymo are legitimate targets. They flat out said they would be providing footage from their cars to the police and other agencies. Disabling those cars is an act against the belligerent combatants themselves.

If tech wants to become Trump's new panopticon supplier, they can and should be under the understanding that they aren't neutral third parties.

Apparently, if you have facebook or Instagram installed on your phone, #Meta was able to track your browsing habits and link them to your real identity even if you never logged in on the web, used incognito mode or a VPN. I hope Meta gets hit with every fine in the book.

I sort of love how many places web assembly pops up. Check out this personal OS project, Munal, using wasm for process isolation. I also respect that the author ditched some of the common but not so fun parts like a bootloader.

“U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver was indicted Tuesday on federal charges alleging she impeded and interfered with immigration officers outside a New Jersey detention center while Newark’s mayor was being arrested after he tried to join a congressional oversight visit at the facility”

Albemarle County, Va., Commonwealth Attorney Hingeley said arrests by officers who don’t identify themselves pose a threat to the people being taken into custody, as well as to bystanders. “If you operate as if you’re a street gang,” he said, “you create a danger to yourself and the public.”

It's no wonder press and politicians hate her - she makes them look like the small, weak and venal corporate slaves that they are.

How much more on fire could they be? Waymo.

The weaponization of Waymo: Other witnesses and journalists who were there shared the same story: People summoned the cars to light them on fire when they arrived. Protestors were reportedly calling them...

Thermal Runaway.

Why did the fires cause such obliteration? The answer starts with the battery. Each I-Pace can carry roughly 90 kilowatt-hours of stored chemical energy, comparable to about 170 pounds (77 kilograms) of TNT. That energy is distributed...

Finally have some free time to start moving away from a Gmail email address. Can anybody recommend a fully hosted email service provider?

I can pay.

Something like Fastmail, with the ability for aliases, and a clean, HTML, designed interface that isn't trying to be an app in a browser? But the ability to view messages as plain text.

Proton Mail is a no go because their LLMs poke all through your messages. I want something without AI bullshit.

I'd use Fastmail but they don't work with my VOIP mobile numbers and constantly engage in union busting so want something else.

My takeaway: Satellite launches are undoing the recovery of the ozone layer that should be happening now that CFCs are banned. And this study doesn't even take into account metal deposition from reentries, which might be even worse!

When I teach climate change in my astro classes, I always give the recovery of the ozone layer as an example of how countries can work together to fix a giant problem (Montreal Protocol). I guess satellite companies are now destroying that too.

It’s interesting, in the age of streaming we have these aesthetic wrappers, aka IP, that has completely taken over how movies and TVs are made.

Everything is a cinematic universe. Disney exclusively deals in cinematic universes.

John Wick, Mad Max, “From the world of…”

I don’t hate it. It’s a thing. Maybe too big; too important. But we do get some unique story telling out of it sometimes i.e. Andor.

I've been involved in coordinating legal support for people arrested at protests for many years now. Last night, I witnessed the mass arrest of anti-ICE protestors in San Francisco.

If you know someone who was arrested at a protest in the Bay, have them contact Legal Solidarity Bay Area at (510) 250-1700 for support when they are able. San Francisco does not use cash bail, and people are usually released on their own recognizance.

A few weeks back I read on Mastodon that the US Dept of Health and Human Services was getting rid of COVID tests. This is bad for all the reasons, but some enterprising government employee did a program where you could fill out a form and get anywhere from 300-3000 COVID tests (unexpired) sent to your home. I figured why not try? Last week I got seven boxes of COVID tests delivered to my porch. I posted to a local mailing list and I am getting them pointed towards my community. Thanks Mastodon!

Yes and also, authors, TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR WORK, the world is indeed on fire, but people need their moments of rest and respite in there too, and your work might be able to give that to them before they go out and face the fire again.
