Wile E Coyote doing a Reddit AMA about Coyote vs ACME is disturbingly wholesome. https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1w58qjb/hi%5Freddit%5Fim%5Fwile%5Fe%5Fcoyote%5Fim%5Ftaking%5Fon%5Facme%5Fama/

Alright folks, it looks like the #1Password execs aren't budging. Their co-founder is framing critics of DHH as calling him "evil," saying this is "unfair" and creating a chilling environment. This is a nonsense response to critique of a man who has called for ethnic cleansing. https://www.theverge.com/tech/988536/1password-dhh-linux-controversy

It's time to #Drop1Password. Cancel your subscription and share a screenshot. Tell them why you're cancelling. You will not lose access to your service until your subscription expires, giving the 1Password team the opportunity to reverse their sponsorship and/or you time to migrate.

Any guesses as to why this isn't prime time international news with over 200+ articles per minutes and abuse on social media and think pieces and such?

What could possibly be the reason? 🤔 I can't possibly imagine.

This is what real academic fraud looks like.

I am aware that 1Password's response has been tepid and useless corporate bluster, but I've sent in my own personal support email in the hopes that continued pressure might get them to wake up. This is not a template as it contains quite specific personal details, but feel free to use it as a basis to tailor it if you remove those. (Unless they also apply, in which case, have at it.)

kudos to The Verge for juxtaposing one of DHH's many insane racist/fascist statements right next to the bullshit victimization rhetoric of that 1Password cofounder

I am in a rage because I saw an advert for an art class that was made with AI, so obviously the right thing to do was doodle in pen, scan it, and print it on a cheap thermal label printer so I can go out and stick them on this abominations.

Re: Skeletor, in all seriousness I really appreciate the ton of work that other folks in the Twisted community poured into the previous attempt, and to Hynek and the attrs community before that. I didn't end up in the same place but without that perspective to compare against, I would probably have been writing mountains of sprawling digressions.

Feedback is appreciated (particularly copy-edits, writing this kind of stuff melts my brain!), but please only if you're actually a _plausible_ potential contributor (i.e. a Python programmer, does stuff with networks, finds Twisted at least a _little_ interesting). The pull request is here: https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/12835

I noticed today that an update to the #Linux #Zoom client has made it start proactively reading _everything_ written to the X11 clipboard.

If you keep interesting secrets in your clipboard – particularly, if a password manager uses it as a means of getting the password to where it needs to be – this might be a thing you need to know about!

Mad D&D monster idea:

The gelatinous tesseract.

Looks and acts just like a gelatinous cube *except* it extends through the fourth dimension (time). If an adventurer is ingested then fights their way out, roll a d6 to determine which instance they emerge from. (DM needs to pre-plan the history around the monster and work out when each facet exists.)

If you don't kill the jelly you can dive back in and try for another time. But once it's dead you're stranded whenever you killed it.

Ok the good news is that after all these months, I do still actually remember how to knit.

The bad news is I need to figure out which bits of this chaotic pile of floss were supposed to go with which WIP cross stitch project 🤦‍♀️
