Mastodon FeedMastodon FeedToday my server is getting slammed by a very wide botnet that is really interested in such hits as
/var/www/jwz/..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2fetc%2fpasswd/emacs-timeline.html
Not an AI training bot! How quaint! How retro!
It seems to be associated with something called "bxss dot me" and to them I would like to sincerely say, I hate you please die.
Mastodon FeedFound some odd behaviour (regression?) in MDC handling in the latest (3.30.5) Quarkus release. If you're using MDC, might want to tread with caution.

Who's this spying on my Apple Music activity?:
In my iPhone settings, I stumbled across a list of apps Apple says “are signed in to your Apple Music account and can access your music activity and media library.” The problem is, I don’t remember giving permission.

Czech donations to a weapons fund for Ukraine spiked after parliament speaker Tomio Okamura's anti-Ukraine New Year's address - 780,000 crowns ($38k) on day one, 954,000 ($46k) the next.
Over 50,000 Czechs signed a letter apologizing for his remarks.

Not that I needed another reason not to like Drake, but the fact he's a spokesperson for sports gambling really puts it over the top.

As a philosophical exercise intended to demonstrate one flaw in this particular moral cosmology, I volunteer to beat the shit out of Stephen Miller.

Every time I notice the layout of LEDs on these spotlights at the club, I cringe. Why, why would you do that!
A square tiling makes sense. A triangular or hexagonal tiling makes more sense. A Fibonacci spiral makes the most sense. But what the absolute clustering-fuck is this shit? This layout gets more cursed the more you look at it.

As a sub-note, any D running in the midterms that doesn't sign on to impeaching the cabinet members that are facilitating this nonsense need to be primaried because impeachment is the milquetoast position. The better posture is inherent contempt for violating the War Powers Act and signaling support for ICC/Hague prosecutions on Jan 6th, 2029.

As I understand this, if Jake Tapper had then strangled Stephen Miller, that would have been OK, because of the “iron law of the world since the beginning of time.”

This article by @anildash squarely hits in the feels, names and articulates what's happening in the tech industry, and points towards pragmatic things we can do.
Notably — and I cannot sufficiently underscore how crucial this is — Anil spells out that power by its very definition is fundamentally requisite to enact any influence on the direction of tech. We cannot change the past, we cannot change everything, but we can change SOME things. And that requires power. Power isn't exclusively money or positions or authority: power is the ability to influence.
A single electron cannot do anything. But a million electrons aligned in the same direction? That sure amps things up.

Dems have to decide *this week* that they will not agree to a CR on funding unless the admin stops Venezuela actions, forswear other invasions, and stop murdering on the high seas. This can be a rider to the healthcare stuff, with joined-up message of "nobody voted for this".
