Just because I had to dig this up for an article, here's a Wayback Machine link to where Starlink said lots of grand things about their commitments to making their satellites dark back in 2020 (no longer on the Starlink website, of course): web.archive.org/web/2021030402

"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%" Read the Stanford report: siepr.stanford.edu/publications...

Today I received the coolest, most thoughtful gift. Twice.

My day started out when a friend traveled from far far away, and dropped by to bring me a package on behalf of @anyiaAnyia, queer girl 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈, whom they had just visited.

It was a beautiful *handmade* puzzle box, with three interesting locks built into it, and a *four-page* letter of appreciation—the amount of effort they put into making me feel special is extraordinary 🥰

---

Then, a couple hours later, a package arrived from my girlfriend. Inside were two lever locks. One from the 1830s, and one from the 1920s that is stamped with "Mastodon" 🥰 The 4-lever lock is now the oldest I'm my collection, and the Mastodon lock is the first 8-lever lock in my collection.

---

And finally, a couple hours after the package arrived from my girlfriend, I got to meet a new friend from Mastodon in person for the first time—which was its own present 🥰

---

So today I got to add five unique new locks, several good memories, and a new friend to my collections.

It was a good frickin' day 💝

The top of a red leather-covered puzzlebox with an envelope taped to it that reads "Dear Alice (readme.txt)".The front of the handmade red puzzlebox, showing three locks built into it.

On the left is a circular metal plate with a small hole in the center and a red dot below the hole. On the right is another circular metal plate with a small brass cross-shaped opening in the center and a round swivel cover. The middle lock is 3D-printed and looks like an ovaloid with a cutout that looks like the side view of a partially opened laptop with two stubby legs under it...or maybe a vampire's nose with little square nostrils under it.A 65mm 4-lever padlock from the 1800s. Despite looking older than dirt, it works *perfectly*.An 8-lever padlock from the early 1900s. It's stamped with "Eagle Lock Co. Terryville Conn USA" along the shackle and the word "MASTODON" is stamped into the metal in big, curved letters across the body.

RE: wandering.shop/@xgranade/11560

The whole poetry/prompt thing is a good reminder: just because a claim sounds like it would bolster a prior belief doesn't make it true. It's all too easy, and I am very guilty of this, to let your guard down around things that reinforce narratives I already believe.

(There's a subtle distinction with Bayesian-style priors that's worth exploring.)

But like, here, we *know* LLMs suck, we know why. We don't need to fall for hoaxes and propaganda to bolster that.

Kennt jemand gute TOTP Hardware, die man für die Arbeit haben möchte? Mir geht es ein wenig auf den Keks mein privates Smartphone für die ganzen Codes verwenden zu müssen.

Wäre cool, wenn das Ding mit mehreren Accounts gleichzeitig umgehen könnte z.B. AWS, Azure, Github, Dockerhub, etc.

Soweit ich das verstanden habe können die meisten Devices (Thales, Feitian) nur ein Secret, daher fällt es mir schwer was zu finden. Oder hab ich da was falsch verstanden?

I desperately avoid keeping any contact info on my phone, as it's so often slurped up in various ways. I also wipe all conversations frequently as standard digital hygiene. Thus, I get a lot of texts from (000) 555-1212 and I have absolutely no idea who it is, so I try to infer from the text content with .. uh.. varying levels of success.

We have an RFQ from a potential customer, one of their questions is:

If the platform uses machine learning specifically against data relating to a person, to what extent has bias and ethics been considered for relevance by the supplier?

I appreciate the nature of this question a great deal!
