passed to me from a minnesotan on the ground in minneapolis, boiled down into bullet points

-- people are hiding others in their houses now.

-- ICE is following white people home from the store if they think they might be buying food for someone else.

-- ICE is supposed to be switching to night raids soon to avoid observers.

-- it's generally understood that if you're detained it's a mugging and if you're raided it's an armed robbery because they WILL steal your shit. phones are #1 obviously so they can find more victims, but anything they can steal and sell, they will. pass this on if you have anyone to pass it onto. i have been explicitly given the "PLEASE DO" of sharing on this. social media has slowed down not because it's gotten better but because people have gotten tired or bored and minnesotans are too busy fighting back and trying to survive.

Remember chat, just because something disgusts you doesn't mean it's necessarily a problem. You might want to avoid it for yourself though.

Some relatively popular things come off as body horror to me, after all.

(Some of those things, on a medical level, legitimately are both normal but also horrifying.)

literally every "alternative": we got.... uhhh.... number. the bigger the number the more you can do. it's between 1 and 100. no you can not change what the numbers do

Do you:
- Think TOML is basically the Solution to serialized data?
- Not want to use TOML because you don't like "Tom", and you don't like putting his name all over your filesystem?

This problem is now solved in the pettiest way (and there's nothing wrong with that): MINI or Modern INI, the format which is exactly like TOML in every way except the file extension.

Minnesota Twin City neighbors are still going through it. That so-called 'draw down' was a ploy to get media to leave and it worked. ICE and Border Patrol are still everywhere and they haven't stopped.

There's a lot going on everywhere but if you can still be a witness and amplification point for Minneapolis/St Paul, that would be great.

If you're interested in funding or helping us find funding for a Discord replacement that's federated and end-to-end encrypted, we're interested in implementing that at @spritelyThe Spritely Institute ... we even had been talking about that being our big focus for 2026.

We have the skills and the underlying tech to pull this off. What we need right now is resources. Funding for open source nonprofits like ours really fell apart in 2025. If you think you know how to help, feel free to reach out.

An Adelphi University student in New York successfully sued his school for using Turnitin's faulty AI detection. Could someone with PACER access please download the judgment for me? Orion Newby vs. Adelphi University in New York Federal Court. I'd like to see if it's as groundbreaking as is being reported.

I can't validate if this is true but I've heard that if you want to return *any* Ring camera you have, no matter how old, citing their agreement with Flock as a violation of the terms of service, you'll get the refund approved.

Technerds, feel encouraged to drop alternatives folk in the comments, please.

hey uhhh. I got fired yesterday. if anyone has rust positions in the Netherlands let me know!

update: for context, I'm a compiler witch and a member of the Rust compiler team. I've worked on a bunch of cool stuff in rustc, including "the never type", "tail calls", and "trait upcasting". See my github (I also accept sponsorships if you feel like it :D). Didn't expect this post to blow up way past my circle of friends :neocat_melt_blep:

There’s been a bit going on in our family since the Sydney protest as we had a loved one in the thick of it, but I’m still here. I come here every day and appreciate the work of many human hands trying to hold a line, to defend a world together that we might want to live in.

Every day I am grateful for the effortful protesting community here, the showing up.

RE: techhub.social/@Techmeme/11605

I have still never seen someone out AFK wearing a pair of smart glasses. I tried out google glass when it first launched like 15 years ago or whenever that was and it was pretty neat but in the time since still never noticed literally a single person with them on their face. Am I just in the wrong place at the wrong time and people are actually out and about wearing these?

@evanEvan Prodromou How long is a piece of string? I've worked on stuff that I could poke once a month to see if anyone had any issues.. Big projects are sometimes run like commercial entities with multiple maintainers. And all points in between.

But they're not maintaining software in a state where it works for me.. it's not about me.. They're doing it because they want to, and I (and many others) happen to benefit from that.
