Who is the most interesting person that you follow that has fewer than 500 followers?

I'm looking for new people to follow. The arbitrary 500 follower limit is so I don't get recommended all the usual people who I either already follow or have chosen not to follow.

Trump has announced a partnership with a Saudi firm to create a new Trump hotel in the Maldives. He plans to fund it by “tokeniz[ing] the development phase” and selling the tokens to US retail crypto traders.

Under any pre-Trump SEC, the tokenized hotel development would likely be considered a securities offering, with risk disclosures and protections aimed at keeping everyday people from being fleeced. But Trump’s SEC picks seem more occupied with advancing his crypto ambitions.

The hotel project is being developed with Saudi partners, making it another arrangement that boosts Trump’s crypto ventures while White House actions benefit the same government. The hotel announcement landed the same day Trump approved selling F-35s to Saudi Arabia.

Trump business interests
Newest on President Trump’s rapidly expanding list of crypto ventures is a Trump-branded hotel and resort in the Maldives, which the Trump Organization says will be financed by “tokenizing” the project’s construction phase on a blockchain and selling the tokens to US retail investors.34 The Trump sons and some of their crypto business partners have lately been eagerly pitching the idea of new projects involving both real estate and blockchains [I94], which they present as an opportunity for retail investors who they claim have been unfairly excluded from high-risk real estate investments — rather than what it plainly is: an opportunity for Trump to start bilking everyday people as well as institutional lenders, contractors, and laborers.Details of the tokenization scheme are scarce. The Trump Organization has not said whether buyers will receive any share of resort revenues, or indeed any benefits at all. But its statement that the project “tokenizes the development phase itself, offering investors the opportunity to participate in a high-growth, premium real estate project from inception” reads like a textbook securities offering under any pre‑Trump SEC. After all, the Howey test — the test to determine if an instrument qualifies as an investment contract under federal securities laws — involved a 1946 case in which a Florida company developed their orange farming operation by selling real-estate contracts to investors without agricultural knowledge or experience, with a promise that the company would farm the groves and generate profits on investors’ behalf.

Image: A rendering of a teardrop-shaped platform floating on the sea, about 1/3 of which is an indoor hotel area, and the remainder of which is a pool and deck area.The project is being developed with the Saudi company Dar Global, continuing the now-familiar pattern of lucrative Trump administration and family deals with Persian Gulf governments and companies. Congressional and public outcry over apparent corruption and ethics violations involving a $2 billion UAE investment in Binance denominated in the Trump family’s stablecoin (which would route tens of millions in interest on the reserves to the Trumps) [I83], a White House–brokered AI-chips deal with the UAE [I93], and another White House deal granting the UAE a 15% stake in TikTok [I94] evidently have not slowed Trump’s pursuit of similar arrangements.The Trump Organization’s announcement came the same day that President Trump announced the US would sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, after the country’s leadership appealed to him personally. The move angered Israel, given the potential to shift the region’s military balance, and it stoked fears among US military intelligence officials that the UAE would share the technology with China. The sales will still need to be approved by Congress.5

(finally, if the issue is simply "rust people are all annoying self-important kids who treat the olds with disrespect by doing gratuitous rewrites", I .. can sympathize a bit as a fellow old, but also consider (a) we were likely exactly as annoying to previous olds when rewriting everything as FOSS and/or Pure Java in the 90s/2000s and (b) it is in any case probably best to have _some_ generation of excited young people taking over maintenance of systems-level code as we all age-out of doing so, even if that involves some gratuitous rewrites..)

I think it's really funny how the bluetooth headphones I have are all varying degrees of obsolete now because they don't support the latest bluetooth audio protocols (realistically their built in lipo batteries will probably render them all garbage before backwards compatibility gets dropped in most devices, but who knows), but the specific model of wired headphones I swear by has been around since 2004 and is better than all of them.

This article (cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-sm) is disturbing for all the predictable reasons, but I am going to focus my particular point of annoyance on the 2nd to last sentence in the very last paragraph.

""Haida nation will never stand for it," [Elizabeth May] said referring to coastal Indigenous people in the region.”

I don't know if it's ignorance, laziness, or deadline writing… but the general passivity that the CBC reporter, JP Tasker, uses is mildly infuriating.

1) Both words in ”Haida Nation" should be capitalized. That is the name of the Nation. (haidanation.ca)... not doing so signals the beginning of the dismissive tone.

2) “coastal Indigenous people" is another diminishing of the Haida Nation. It is not just a non-distinct group of ‘Indigenous people”, it is a nation occupying a very specific, large, and consequential group of islands, collectively known as Haida Gwaii (previously Queen Charlotte Islands), on the Northwest Coast of BC in the direct path of any and all tankers. Haida Gwaii's land mass is about 10,000sqkm or about 1/3rd of the size of Vancouver Island.

3) The stated purpose of the Council of the Haida Nation is: “To steward the lands and waters of the Haida Territories on behalf of the Haida Nation”. NOTE: *lands and waters*.

4) finally, by using this dismissive and passive tone, the reporter is also diminishing May's point when, in fact, it could very well be the very point that scuttles the entire notion of a northern BC pipeline.

Canada, under Trudeau, recognized Aboriginal title over all of Haida Gwaii (cbc.ca/news/canada/british-col). You think Trudeau did this to help cement the tanker ban? I sure think so.

Will the Haida Nation stand idly by while Carney and Smith devise a plan to run oil tankers right through their titled waters? Nope. Not without a BIG fight.

Anyway, I hate it when journalists do this kind of soft-racism.

Friends don't let friends buy from Amazon!

"Bookshop.org began as an idea to help support bookstores and their communities as more and more people are buying their books online. We saw an opportunity to create an alternative to Amazon for socially-conscious online shoppers. Amazon sells over 60% of all books in the US and is growing. That shift threatens the future of bookstores and will hurt readers, authors, and publishers who rely on a diverse, healthy ecosystem for books. We had a better idea—give readers the convenience of online shopping while supporting independent bookstores at the same time."

"78% of our customers said they regularly bought books from Amazon before they made the switch."

I feel this needs to be repeated 🍪

The annoyance of cookie banners
doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.

No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
Simple.

My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.

Yours shouldn't either.
