Ey Lenovo! For years I was annoyed that the left-most key is "Fn" and Ctrl is to the right of it. In the beginning I used the BIOS config option to swap the keys, but eventually I trained myself to use the keys as is.
Today I got a new Thinkpad and guess what: They have now swapped the keys and Ctrl is now the left-most key and all my muscle memory goes broken once again.
So now I either need to remap again (edit: it is still possible) or relearn.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH
this is basically the case of open source, just slightly reframed. building a commons and people getting to use the commons doesn't inherently mean enclosure is the only thing. you also get a commons.
My favorite part of my new job, being paid to learn something new! 😍
Hootsuite.com promised to cut ties with ICE in 2020. Now they’re seeking billion-dollar contracts to help ICE monitor social media. 🚩 As a B Corp, they should protect rights—not build surveillance tools. Tell them to drop the deal: #NoTechForICE https://openmedia.org/NoTech4Ice-mtd

🤔 This is *not* a good look.
Is Bing actively trying to stifle the #indieWeb & the #smallWeb ? Who knows!
Regardless - what you can do:
- pick a different search engine if you are using Bing. #DuckDuckGo, #Qwant, #Startpage come to mind as great first picks.
- start up your own little #indieWeb #smallWeb site! Share what you like. It doesn't have to be complicated. A small blog, a digital garden.
- seek out #webrings, share content from small/indie sites that you enjoy!
Despite some persistent rumors, installing OpenBSD is both quick and easy on most not too exotic hardware. But once the thing is installed, what is daily life with the most secure free operating system like?

What I'm listening to today: "[D]RONIN + Soma COSMOS + Eventide PITCH FACTOR", Giovanni B
A looper with automated chaotic phasing, an octave doubler, and a… "horror playground live rig"? This person appears to have built a kind of prepared piano without the piano part, a random chunk of wood with guitar pickups and vibratey bits of metal stuck into it at random, ostensibly so they can make horror movie soundtracks?, in practice for making Einsturzende Neubauten grooves.
What I'm listening to today: "Three Views Of A Secret", Daisuke Kawai & Hidenobu "KALTA" Otsuki
So I'm watching this video of a synth trade show, and one of the comments mentions that a guy walking by in the background is "the best organ player in Japan". Huh.
So I look the guy up and find him doing this intense and moody live cover of an old Jaco Pastorius jazz piece, in collaboration with a drummer who seems to be picking up psychic transmissions from another galaxy:

Creator Studio Icon Comparison
A comparison between the original icons, the pre–Creator Studio icons, and the non–Creator Studio icons.
Started with two very similar but straightforward systems. Managed to turn them into one much more complex but fully generalized system.
Not to brag or anything.

Celebs say TikTok censored them after calling out ICE:
"In her Instagram Stories, Eilish posted a screenshot of Finneas’ anti-ICE TikTok video that showed him only having 114 likes, writing that “TikTok is silencing people btw.”"
Even if I have to hold my nose, I believe celebrities calling out corporate social media is largely a good thing.

Cloudflare, who certainly has enough resources to *not* pull this kind of bullshit, wastes peoples' time and disrespects people actually working on decentralized networking tech by acting like a pile of vibe coded slop running on top of their proprietary infrastructure is a legit implementation of a protocol.
Deeply insulting. Props to 
@JadedBlueEyesJade for calling this out (and for actually doing real implementation work on Matrix tech).
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @JadedBlueEyesJade to be fair, if you leave all the crypto as a TODO, it is technically post-quantum.

This is why I drew a line in the sand.
The industry wants to turn the browser into a concierge between you and the web, interpreting and filtering your reality. They call it delegation - I call it a loss of agency.
A browser should be a tool you wield, not something that makes decisions for you.
@arstechnica maybe worth mentioning us as an alternative ;)
