Couple new email toys on https://email.engineering:

🎲 Dice roll! Send an email to dice@email.engineering to roll a standard 1d6 and get a reply with the result. Or include standard dice notation in the email address to do a different kind of roll, e.g. dice+2d20@email.engineering.

🪙 Coin flip! Send an email to coin@email.engineering to flip a coin and get a reply with the result. Or include the number of coins you’d like to flip in the email address to flip more than one coin, e.g. coin+5@email.engineering.

Social media bans are unconstitutional, discriminatory, and deeply misguided. If we don’t trust tech companies with our private information now, we shouldn't pass laws that force us to give them even more of it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/how-and-why-fight-back-against-social-media-bans

The Lurie administration and its allies are disbanding San Francisco's Bicycle Advisory Committee. I plan to go to its final meeting tonight at 6:30, city hall room 416.

FYI, Sherrill, Sauter, Mahmood, Dorsey, Wong, and Mandelman voted to get rid of it. May they all lose their next elections and be replaced by better candidates who'll restore the BAC.

“Trump Administration to Pay $765 Million to Cancel 4 More Wind Projects

It’s the third such deal the Interior Department has struck to pay firms to abandon plans for offshore turbines, spending roughly $2.5 billion to get companies to abandon their wind projects.”

It seems that the intellectual tradition of lecturing people about what “freedom” means has left a lot of free software nerds with the sense that “this debate would be going better for me if this specific word meant something very different from what my interlocutor intends, so I will decide that it *does* mean what I want, and then insist on that” is a valid—and, indeed virtuous—debate strategy

@soatok some years ago I remember someone pointing out that sex workers weren’t swarming to cryptocurrency, and if there’s a community that *needs* to break out modern banking it’s them. And that tells you something about cryptocurrency.

So, yeah, designing for sex workers is definitely the way to go!

I am headed back to Tokyo today, and I will be there until the 24th. Then I will be in Osaka until the 27th. Do I know any fedizens in one of these locations in Japan who want to meet up to talk (sadly, in English, I am an uncultured boor) about Python, Twisted, or (sigh, if we must) AI? I kinda expect the answer is “no” but I figured I would check in since I am apparently only here every 45 years or so

They should make it so you can send and receive toots via SMS. I bet a social media network with that feature would be really popular

I am really disturbed at the way the Senate is being “pressured” to pass complex, important and deeply flawed legislation without proper study and debate. Bill C-16 is just the latest example. Under the cover of protecting victims, the government is rolling back important constitutional protections. Few people have noticed. So I’m telling you. https://youtu.be/vhfJqlJdc3A?si=EWWI9vtR6zJD8zjd #BillC16 #cdnpoli #SenCa #femicide #coercivecontrol #Jordan

We need reply controls in mainline masto like yesterday. Of course technically its always possible for people on a malicious instance to evade them, but that is not a counterargument to having them work on the overwhelming majority of well behaved instances where the people we actually talk to are.

We already have the mechanism in mainline masto: reply collection enumeration - if person on instance A receives a malicious reply from person on instance B that is propagated to instance C, when instance C displays the thread, it refreshes the replies collection, sees a tombstone for the malicious reply, and does not display it in the thread.

We already have notification filters and a whole ui built for that. Reply controls could just be another tab on the same menu with the same controls.

You can't stop people from posting whatever, but you should be able to control whether someone uses your posts as a platform to harass you and the people around you.
