I started live streaming from the remote Arizona desert at sunrise this morning, and the stream has been going all day.
Join me for warmer weather, desert solitude and some dystopian cyberpunk background music.
Science? Science! <3

@evanEvan Prodromou isn’t an URI scheme the way that would offer fastest compatibility? after all it’s been around forever, most browsers just let the OS handle it and even apps like zoom and iTunes have successfully implemented it for their service 🤔

What is the history of US sanctions on Iran?
The US first imposed sanctions on Iran in November 1979, after the Islamic revolution overthrew the US-backed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, halting oil imports and freezing $12bn in Iranian assets.
In 1995, then-President Bill Clinton issued executive orders preventing US companies from investing in Iranian oil and gas and trading with Iran. He banned US trade with Iran and investment in the country.

I wonder where the pattern of "clipboard is invisible" got started.
Just an implementation detail of earlier versions that got copied by later implementations?

Do you have any questions about how to use Mastodon or the wider Fediverse? Feel free to ask in the replies, or DM me if you want to ask in private.
No question is stupid or silly, I'm especially trying to help new people 🙂
(If you prefer to look stuff up without asking, there is lots of help for new people on the website at https://fedi.tips )

so moltbook and clawedbot are having a meltdown because it only took ten days for someone to realize it was a pietri dish for malware and packed the skills store full of backdoored malicious bullshit and they had no plan to deal with that inevitability? because this was a guarantee. it was GOING to happen. if we go save them, we are letting them fuck around, but not find out. they NEED to find out.
do not help
you are OBLIGATED to watch it burn
"For anyone who had ever wondered how the Germans turned a blind eye to the Holocaust, we are living through the answer. ...
We are not the Nazis. That means we have an obligation to say watchful and keep protesting. We have to loudly reject the people who are trying to take us there."

Also, weirdly, woke up to all my notes in Obsidian deleted across all my devices. Luckily, I've got scripts that commit changes to a private git repo every 5 minutes, so things seem recoverable. Trying to figure out if syncthing had a spasm or something and nuked the files

The very faint planetary nebula, known as Abell 7, is about 1,800 light-years from Earth. It is located just south of Orion toward the constellation Lepus, The Hare. Posing against the Milky Way stars, its simple spherical shape about 8 light-years in diameter is revealed in this deep telescopic image.

anyway i don't think any of those people were actively trying to read me in bad faith. and i do have some people who do deliberately read me in bad faith. it is what it is. just kinda had to accept that. being a public person is *weird*
"I’m not sure exactly how it happened. I think the lazy answer is “GitHub!!!!”. I do think GitHub played a role, but I think the answer is more complex than that. I personally think that gender plays a huge role. But that’s a different essay. Regardless of *why* it happened, something did happen."
i am always kind of vaguely aware of this, but one moment when it was made really clear to me: in a blog post of mine about open source i said this:

Starting up now ⏰
Capitalism has convinced people that new always equals “better” so if you want to rebel against Capitalism start to recognize that “new” is often just a way to extract more money from you.
Existing (or “old”) things can be functional and beautiful, and often easier to repair.
The word “old” should not be an insult. Not to things or to people.

ICYMI, our Smartphone Privacy/Security course has started releasing to the public. Level one is about settings you can change to easily make your phone more private without needing to do anything crazy. Perfect for beginners. And it's divided by OS (Android & iOS) so you don't have to sit through advice that doesn't apply to you.
Feel free to share with friends and family.
