I'm very excited to finally have a first beta out of a new closed-source SDK that I so far call MediaKit (I may have to change this later on). The idea is to make it super simple to create streaming media apps with Swift and SwiftUI. The library is so far pretty simple and a lot of things are coming to it, but I look forward to have a new project going.

권씨 변호인은 몬테네그로에서의 구금 생활과 한국에도 추가 형사 기소에 직면한 점을 고려해 형량이 5년을 넘지 말아야 한다고 재판부에 요청
앞서 권씨는 지난 8월 사기 공모 및 통신망을 이용한 사기 혐의에 대해 유죄를 인정한 바 있다.
이들 9개 혐의가 모두 유죄로 인정되면 권씨는 최대 130년형에 처할 수 있었다
권씨는 최종 형량의 절반 복역 후 본인 요청에 따라 한국으로 송환될 가능성이 있다.

Every so often I check bsky.app to see if that one R guy is shitting on rasterio again. This time I'm blocked until I add my birthdate. Maybe it's for the best.
"In the short term, a major collision is more akin to the Exxon Valdez oil spill disaster than a Hollywood-style immediate end of operations in orbit. Indeed, satellite operations could continue after a major collision, but would have different operating parameters, including a higher risk of collision damage."
This is why I did a poll here about name recognition for Exxon Valdez a few months ago! (You young'uns go read about it because many of you don't know)
One of the scariest parts of this project was learning more about Starlink's orbital operations. I had always assumed they had some kind of clever configuration of the satellites in the orbital shell that minimized conjunctions, and we would see the number of conjunctions grow over time in our simulations. But no! It's just random! There's no magic here, it's just avoiding collisions by moving a Starlink satellite every 2 minutes. This is bad.

The CRASH Clock uses the current density in altitude bins (averaged over eccentric orbits) of satellites, rocket bodies, and tracked debris, assuming typical cross sections for each type and orbital speeds. This calculation tells us how long to a collision if all orbital maneuvers were to suddenly stop.
The CRASH Clock is currently* at 2.8 days.
In 2018 it was 121 days.
*This is actually for June 2025 because that's when we ran it. Will update soon!
We set up a CRASH Clock website here: https://outerspaceinstitute.ca/crashclock/
Note that this is a probabilistic calculation. A catastrophic collision could happen sooner than 2.8 days of no maneuvers. In our (extremely computationally expensive) collision simulation, just by random chance we actually got the first collision just 3 hours in.
We are currently well inside the Caution Zone. The probability of collisions happening if no avoidance maneuvers occur is >10% in any 24 hour period.
Remember Kilmar Abrego Garcia? Today, federal Judge Paula Xinis has granted his habeas corpus petition, ordering him released from ICE custody. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mdd.589189/gov.uscourts.mdd.589189.111.0_2.pdf 1/ #LawFedi
Today, Xinis found that there is no final order of removal against Abrego Garcia and thus no bar to her review of his habeas corpus petition. She then concluded, "The absence of a removal order raised an intractable problem for [the Trump regime," because the INA does not allow any removal proceedings in the absence of a final order of removal. This would suffice to justify releasing Abrego Garcia, but Xinis also turned to his constitutional argument for his release. 17/
Congress can only enact immigration laws and procedures that do not fall foul of the U.S. Constitution. This includes its statutorily enacted system of immigration detention. In a case called Zadvydas v. Davis, the Supreme Court addressed the due process limits on holding in detention a non-citizen who actually is actually subject to a final an order of removal. Zadvydas rejects unlimited detention. Detention to effectuate a removal order can only be for a "reasonably necessary" period. 18/

So perhaps we need to celebrate the artist-owned IP that isn’t controlled by Disney or WB or some other big corpo machine.
It might be nice to spread the word about comics and animators who do it on their own?
Anyone care to share? Because I, for one, could stand a bit more indie projects in my life. And I know it’s hard to do your own stuff and put food on the table, so it’s often a matter of choosing one or the other.
But still, it would be nice to have a thread of creative makers trying to do their own thing.
Any one have anything to share?

This is exactly the problem I've been warning about with IP protections for AI models. Disney licensing with OpenAI creates the appearance that a license is needed at all, which gives them grounds to attack others in an effort to monopolize art.
Tying generative AI to IP protections and licensing requirements doesn't give artists any meaningful power to prevent their exploitation, it just gives enormous conglomerates the power to carve culture into more and more exploitative monopolies.

Available now in tip releases on macOS: tab colors! Right click the tab bar, select a color. This was a surprisingly popular feature request (I guess used a lot by iTerm2 users?). I'm already digging it to mark diff projects, agents, etc.
Only mouse flow for now, command palette and keyboard to come later. Also only macOS to start. We have to think about this a bit more on GTK, and it seems like this was most heavily requested on macOS so shipped it there first.
