Due to Reasons, I needed to get a pgp public key off a computer that I could neither upload it off of nor did I have access to a USB port.
I thought I’d try taking a photo of the key and OCR’ing it.
An hour later, I would like to inform you that above and beyond the issues you expect, iOS OCR will happily roll dice on whether it feels that any given “o”, “x” or “c” shall be encoded as ASCII or Cyrillic.

Hey 
@todbotTod Kurt (todbot) - in the spirit of your recent Bootloader pick (DIYR), I saw Hyperwood and thought of you https://hyperwood.org/
한 달 간의 스쿼시 레슨... 이제 실전에 나설 수 있을까? 내일 회사 사람들 따라가서 확인해본다.
Let's dive a little deeper, in case that third one is giving anyone pause 
For this, we will need to talk about flagging and dog whistles. Conceptually, flagging and dog whistles are ways that communities communicate. Flagging typically refers to when a community is giving itself a "IYKYK" hat tip. Dog whistles are the same behavior, but with the impact of harm. This is one way (of many) that harmful actors are able to make targets "look crazy". I just said hi! GEEZ. SOME PEOPLE. And then you look at the hi, and it's an image of someone waving hi. That is a screenshot. Of a still from a scene in a movie. About, say, hurting Black or trans people.
Context matters.
Back to our 12 seconds.
The asker of the question gave their name and publication: Alex Zoltan of True North.
If you haven't already, you should notice a pattern of right wing ideals that come with certain imagery. In the context of climbing or astronomy or similar, one might expect to see references to the North Pole (compass) or Polaris (the North Star) as these are used in navigation.
But this person isn't taking an image of star trails. They're a member of the press. Having True / Truth anything has become a right wing flag, a dog whistle. See Truth Social and its peers.
If you encountered this question in a situation where you could stop and search (obviously not in a live press room), after these 12 seconds you should absolutely be loading up a search engine and checking to verify if True North describes itself as conservative (it does) and do a skim of recent works by Alex Zoltan.
TLDR: you now know the question is about trans women.
Now, hit play and listen to the remaining minute-ish.
For his response, Carney seems to be aware enough that he recognizes Something Is Up but Answers The Question As-Asked Anyway.
And then the predictable: this question is about trans women. Not trans people, trans women, and specifically how they make cis women ("biological women") unsafe by existing. Choosing to load up the question with mentioning spaces where "(cis) women are definitely unsafe from (cis) men due to the latter's physicality" is not an accident: sports, homelessness, and prison.
2/2 (and a PS to follow)
The P.S.
We're only safe when we're all safe.
It's a great intention to see that people make posts about "reading the poem" (They came for N first and I said nothing), but it's only true if we collectively do the work of keeping ourselves and our extended family. In this case, that means our trans sisters and siblings. In a broader sense, that means the Black community, immigrants, the young, the old, the chronically ill. Everyone.
This is only one step, one way, you can start to do that: recognizing when someone is talking about members of the trans community as a set up for harmful actions.
Not all harmful actions are physical weapons. They can also be asked, with a smile and genuine tone, in any situation.

Random question:
Have you ever #dreamt in Black and White?
I once, many years ago. I don't even remember what it was about, but I do recall that I was so perplexed when waking up that I had to tell it immediately.

For the last few months I've had twitter, facebook, instagram, tiktok (not that I'd ever actually visited) completely blocked from my devices - both on local home wifi and mobile over cellular data.
I'm missing a good chunk of the internet and I sort of think that's totally fine.

Rechtsextremistische Straftaten haben an Schulen zugenommen. Keine Handreichung dieser Welt, pressewirksamem Events und auch kein neues Fach werden dieses strukturelle Problem lösen. Rassismus und die vielen anderen Ismen sind individuell, institutionell und kulturell tief verankert. Hinzu kommt, dass das Bildungssystem eine autokratische Logik fördert.

Another question for everyone: how do you teach yourself to recognize problematic behavior from all sources?
Video of PM Mark Carney 🇨🇦 as an exercise.
---
Many of us can spot when someone is almost expressing harmful beliefs or behaviors.
Take these examples:
* "I don't mean to be Y, but..."
* "I'm not a Y! Some of my best friends are Y' !"
These follow a familiar pattern: denying affiliation with a harmful group while expressing that group’s core beliefs.
We often catch this when it's obvious, but can we still recognize the pattern when the cues are more subtle or spread over time? What if someone skips the preface and just shares the beliefs—can you tell which group they likely align with?
Let's take a look at Mark Carney's interview from about a week ago. I'm going to need you to listen and then pause at 12 seconds precisely:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VESf23utZv0
The focus isn't Carney, so his answer isn't (yet) relevant to this exercise.
This exercise focuses on you, the reader.
You are now paused at the question. If you saw this framing in text or in person, do you, right now and hopefully without listening prior, know that the asker is asking about trans women?
When you answer:
* Are you ready to answer knowing this is about trans women?
- or -
* Will you answer as if this question is About Gender? That is to say, you aren't sure What This Is About, so you'll just Answer The Question **As Asked**.
If you don't know that this question is about trans women: this is ok! And now is a great time to learn to contextualize questions.
All information is contextualized, and this is no different. Current rhetoric has people in the press, specifically, speaking about trans women in a particular way. So this isn't A Question About Gender, this is a Press Person's Question About Gender.
If you know how The Press ask about gender, and how to recognize the different subtle ways that trans exclusive vs trans inclusive press tee up their questions, you will know that this is contextualized as:
* A question about gender
* By a person in the press
* And by phrasing, by a trans exclusive member of the press.
Even in 12 seconds, we know all three of these things.
(Part 1 of 2, alas, my posts are long.)

"美中關稅戰發展至今，中國始終保持強硬態度，反而是美國總統川普態度似有軟化。美媒分析，習近平等中國領導層已決意與美國硬摃，「沒給自己留餘地」，美中若想開始認真談判，川普可能會發現必須自己主動打電話。"

Anyone else here use #AffinityDesigner? I want to trace shapes from a scanned image. Is there a tool to do that? I mean, drag a marquee over the placed image and a vector shape is created sort of thing.
It seems odd I can’t find one. Such things existed way back in FreeHand and Illustrator n the last millennium.
Boosts welcome. Ta.
