uspol, safety, on leaving
I am not telling you to leave, I am telling you that you absolutely cannot look away from the situation, for your safety, for the safety of the people you love.
Things are escalating fast. Things will get much worse very quickly. In all likeliness, there won't be paths out, soon.
uspol, the plan for trans genocide
If you are wondering though, "is genocide really possible, or likely"
The answer is yes, it's possible, it's likely, they're actively working on it. In the next couple of posts, I will explain why, and then how, we are seeing a trans genocide being planned.
The first is why. It's very simple: fascism requires a culture war to prevent a class war. Since the poor are directly hurt by oligarchic takeover, they have to attack a group of underprivileged people
uspol, safety, on leaving
If you are in a threatened category and ESPECIALLY if you are trans and you are thinking about leaving, it's at least important that you start planning your exit. I highly recommend the community collection of resources on https://transworldexpress.org/
Let me say it plainly: we are facing a trans genocide on the present path. Start helping yourself, your loved ones, get a passport, look at options out. Don't wait.

uspol, supreme court, transphobia
I'm not a fan of the military but I'm even less a fan of the Supreme Court saying "oh yeah it's dishonorable to be trans"

- Loading featured posts. It can be done from the profile menu, but the option is only available to users with "admin" role.
- The maximum number of media attachments can be changed in the configuration file (limits.posts.attachment_limit and limits.posts.attachment_local_limit parameters, both default to 16). Extra attachments are not ignored anymore, but included as links.
- Several security fixes for FEP-ae97 Client API. A documentation page has been added.
Fedi, check this new #FediDB stats page.
I'm nearly finished the redesign, and will be launching fedidb.com once the final pieces are ready.
Boosts greatly appreciated, the new FediDB is a gem in this complex network 💎

To people saying “it’s a temporary ruling,” those people are missing the point. This stay allows the military to IMMEDIATELY begin to let go of soldiers. Those soldiers will need jobs, pay, shelter. And it clearly indicates where SCOTUS is on trans people.
In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...
See the downside of following me is that I'm terminally online and post constantly
(in a philomena cunk voice) in germany, most passengers already expect their train to be cancelled. hence why, when the train is actually not cancelled, the displays will show a warning that the train is actually in service.

I think I've fully adopted to writing scripts in #typescript with #deno. 😅 It can be so immensely convenient.
You can bundle hack something fairly quickly. With dependencies pinned. And most of all, still have some level of security.
Can't say the same of all my other language scripts. 🫠
I am honoured to be part of a broad group of folks helping to keep @fediforum - and the #Fediverse as a whole - move forward. Looking forward to our next event, and to learning what people are building together!

Previous attendees:
If you were registered for the canceled April 2025 FediForum, and have not asked for a refund, you are automatically registered for the June event. You do not need to re-register.
Mark your calendars: the next FediForum will take place Thu-Sat, June 5-7, 2025, online.
While we aren't quite ready yet to provide details, we thought you should know about the dates as soon as possible. We are planning to update the format and organizing team based on your feedback, but the unconference and demos that you all love will remain at the core of the event.
We are proud to announce the first-ever FediForum advisory board. We are very glad to have such an incredible group of committed and experienced Open Social Web pioneers and advocates come together to advise FediForum and help move the Open Social Web forward.

Published some notes on Microsoft's phi4-reasoning model, an 11GB download (via Ollama) which may well overthink things... it produced 56 sentences of reasoning output in response to my prompt of "hi" https://simonwillison.net/2025/May/6/phi-4-reasoning/

New release of Spritely Hoot: 0.6.1, with lots of improvements! Most especially in time for the Lisp Game Jam next week, it's easier than ever to build Hoot-using packages for distribution with the new --bundle command! But there's lots of other things too! https://spritely.institute/news/hoot-0-6-1-released.html
copy and paste in the terminal
https://wizardzines.com/comics/copy-and-paste-in-the-terminal/
![Panel 1: multiline
It's SO scary when you paste a bunch of commands by accident and then it runs them all.
fish, zsh, and newer bash versions protect you from this: you have to press Enter before running the thing you pasted. This is called "bracketed paste"
panel 2: problem: copying with the mouse can go wrong
- copying 400 lines of text by dragging is nobody's idea of a good time
- sometimes extra whitespace that you didn't want gets added at the end of lines
panel 3:
person: “copying a LOT of text is way easier if you don't use the mouse! Here are 2 tricks for copying without the mouse. "
panel 4: copy trick 1: pbcopy
macOS comes with two programs that can copy from stdin / paste to stdout, like this:
cat main.go | pbcopy
They're SO useful and on Linux I like to write my own versions of pbcopy/pbpaste using xsel or xclip
panel 5: pbcopy over SSH
you can even implement pbcopy over SSH (yes really!) with this bash one-liner.
It uses an escape code called "OSC 52".
printf "\033]52;c;%s\007"
"$(base64 | tr -d '\n')"
panel 6: copy trick 2: syncing the vim clipboard
I use vim as a terminal text editor, and I find it's WAY easier if I sync my system clipboard with the vim clipboard like this:
set clipboard=unnamed
tmux can also copy to your system clipboard.](https://cdn.masto.host/socialjvnsca/media_attachments/files/114/462/343/580/800/518/original/8c6566d3028dd264.png)
there's nothing quite so satisfying as seeing source level debugging for the first time with a JTAG probe you designed
Not only do we have the exciting news about Oaken today, but also there's a new patch release out: Hoot v0.6.1! https://spritely.institute/news/hoot-0-6-1-released.html
New, easier deployment of Hoot programs with --bundle! A load of fixes! Lots of things!
(And just in time for the Lisp Game Jam, next week!)

You know how we all get frustrated by black holes where we submit bugs and never hear another word? Looking at you Radar/FB.
It happens to our customers, too.
They spend their valuable time reporting issues in our apps. And we fix those things. And that's often the end of it.
We've started doing something about that: our release notes now thank whoever reported the bug. It takes very little time to add "Thx" and it builds a great relationship with your biggest fans.

Extremely excited that 
@spritelyThe Spritely Institute is entering the programming language security design space! This lovely blogpost by 
@dpkDaphne Preston-Kendal does a great job explaining the problems we're aiming to solve and how we're thinking of solving them.
Bonus reason to be excited: @dpkDaphne Preston-Kendal is not only the lead of Spritely Oaken, but also is the head of r7rs-large scheme standardization! We're excited to be working with her!
