As a pretty socially anxious person myself I can also say, you feel like you are going to say it wrong and do it wrong. So say it wrong and do it wrong anyway but the important thing is to do something.

“If you think about it some more, the Lockdown Mode should be the default mode for ... mobile devices. And not because of the security implications. Those are an added bonus. Because of the stupidity implications.”
“None of the "restricted" features are actually important or desired. Think about it. Calls from people you don't know? Check! Photo location blocking? Check! Web pages with pointless remote fonts? Double check! Sounds like an Internet reset, going back to 2010, when the computing world was nicer, saner, cleaner!”
I don’t agree with this entire article, but it’s a pretty thought-provoking take on iOS lockdown mode and how the author sees it as a usability improvement.

Secy of #DHS #KristiNoem claimed that the victim walked up to the agents with the intent to slay several of them. White House Deputy Chief of Staff #StephenMiller posted on X that an “assassin tried to murder federal agents.” Neither of these…correspond with the video evidence.

#Minneapolis police say #AlexPretti had a firearms permit, & that open carry is legal in the state for permit holders. Video of the incident shows him holding a phone, not a gun. Officers do not seem to have realized he was armed until after they pinned him to the ground, & the video does not show them opening fire until *after* they have taken away his pistol.

Yeah, it's really just bad all around. It's probably the worst invention since CFCs and leaded gasoline (both of which were promoted by the same guy). At least Thalidomide relieved morning sickness.

In the Mastodon app when you click on a profile, you get "posts" "posts & replies" and "media". What it really needs is a 4th one, which is posts without boosts. Boosts are critical to the fediverse working (one of the reasons I boost a lot). But if you're looking for something a user wrote, finding it among the boosts can be a pain.
The #Trump admin has once again immersed the #US in a crisis. The officers who are supposed to be protecting America’s borders have again been unleashed on an American city—this time, #Minneapolis. The authorities in #Minnesota want the #CBP & #ICE forces to leave; the US govt’s response has been to continue to allow them to operate without any limits.

the great benchmark
Sometimes you have to break stuff to remake stuff, and that's the hard part, stepping into that gap between what has to change, and hoping it actually becomes something positive and useful.
Cheers to the Brave, that step into the unknown and the uncertain, not knowing if they'd find new faith or new family.
A phrase I just came across...
"Recognize that your compassion is a form of resistance."
It may not be sufficient, do more if you can, but it is necessary, and valuable.

This is a fashion trend. It’s not just functional; camo serves no purpose of disguising whatsoever on Minneapolis streets. Militaries are dressing the part — and ICE is playing dress-up.
Avery Trufelman’s excellent podcast Articles of Interest spent an entire season on this topic, under the name “Gear.” Here’s on relevant episode.
2/2
@inthehandsPaul Cantrell as a veteran, I find the appropriation of military motifs by civil law enforcement extremely offensive, but also incredibly dangerous.
A particularly egregious example, that I wish people would address more often, is the use of the word "civilians" to describe people that are not whatever strain of police is using the term. "Civilians" refers to people within the general civil populace, as opposed to the military. The police (in all their various forms) are members of the civil society, and as such, civilians themselves.
Words have meaning, and those meanings matter. When we allow these subtle shifts in language, we normalize the militarization of police forces nationwide, but more than that, we reinforce the self-image of the police as separate from the rest of civil society. And history shows that when people view themselves as apart from civil society, they often see themselves unbeholden to the norms and ethics that govern civil society.
One can draw a pretty straight line from that to these guys cosplaying soldier, wearing full tactical gear, riding on MRAPs and HMMWVs, assault rifles on their shoulders like the movies, belt-fed automatic weapons mounted on turrets in the background for Kristi Noem's photo-ops. We, collectively, should have never let anyone get away with normalizing this from the second it started. Yet how many articles does one read in the press where no one ever bothers challenging a cop when they refer to the people that they've supposedly sworn to protect and serve as "civilians", as if they, themselves, are not?

#Berlin Mac folks! A friend is looking for a used M1 MacBook Air, any spec, German kezboard. Do you maybe have a spare used one you want to see go to a good home?
The weird obsession with "correct posture" causes way more harm than good. What quaks espouse as the "correct posture" is a generalisation, and most likely not at all the correct posture for you as an individual. On top of that, obsessing over your posture most likely causes you to tense up, and tensing up will make any posture damaging.
Seriously. Go to a fucking trained specialist before spending ungodly amounts of money on overpriced chairs that don't help you. It's a scam.
