I'm and I use xkcd.com/color/rgb/ frequently.

Randall 'xkcd' Monroe did a survey of over 100,000 readers where he showed them random rgb colors and said "what would you call this?" and afterwards he did his best to sort the results into the most popular color names and the colors they refer to.

It's like a box of Crayola for the internet. Finally, my colorblind self can grab a sample of "dark magenta" that doesn't just look like "grape purple" to everyone else.

The data is freely available as a .txt file under CC0, which I've converted into a .css file here: git.hatspace.net/nycki/nycki.n

so now when I want a color on my website I can just write `color: var(--xkcd-off-white)` or so on. it's really convenient :)

edit: blog post discussing this data in more detail: blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color

Okay another thing the Trump admin didn't plan for in Minneapolis:

Do you know how electrifying collective action with united purpose can be? Do you have any idea the heat generated by the fire that ignites in people's hearts when they look around and see all their neighbors out there with them, scared but determined?

That is not a feeling our enemies want us to learn & get used to. It's frankly addictive. Once you've felt it, you're going to want to feel it again.

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell I know, and it was their initial strategy with the DC Guard deployment and the beginning of the whole occupying cities thing, and it was dangerously close to working in terms of public opinion and legislative support. They try to tell us that targets are dangerous gang members, and it turns out they can't actually make people believe that about roofers and preschool teachers, but it's going to take work to make everyone stands firm on no kidnapping or concentration camps for ANYONE

Our app is stuck in review purgatory because of Apple’s constantly moving goal posts about how our paywall is allowed to look. But X, the non consensual nude app, is still freely available.

유튜브 뿐만 아니라 광고업체들 다수가 틱톡 인기영상 도용같은 거 그냥 일상적으로 많이 하더라고요. 웃기는 일이긴 한데 만다린어계 웹소설 어플들이 광고에서 한국 가요 도용하는 건 뭐 거의 필수요소 수준이고... 저는 이 건이 좀 잘 해결됐으면 좋겠어요. 게임광고는 게임 내용을 보이는 광고였으면 하거든요. 어그로가 아니라.

Good. More sanctions please.

We're tired of judges getting getting credit for saying or writing the right things in response to ICE abuses — including of journalists and their sources — but not doing anything about it.

This week I finally wrote the beginner's security guide I wanted to see in the world. Here's 8 tasks you can do right now, with plenty of vetted resources and the "Cliffsnotes" style summary on why you should do things, risks and limitations, and even what NOT to do. Enjoy! hashman.ca/security-101/

Why properly interoperable services, or else bridges, help:

A group of people are trying to organise FOSDEM communications.

A and B use both XMPP and Signal, but not Matrix.

C uses XMPP, Signal, and DeltaChat, but not Matrix.

D and E use both Signal and Matrix, but not XMPP.

F uses only XMPP.

Solution? Email.
