Up this time in the weekly #music thoughts: a new one from #MaggieGently, a very moving tribute from #AmeliaRiggs, and some soundtrack album by some artist for some film. I forget the name. (I might lie.) https://www.patreon.com/posts/some-weekly-177-150676056

#Valentine‘s day and our 23rd wedding #anniversary. But #Caturday always has priority.

Went to a Valentine’s Day themed lindy hop social today. Had tried to match my face mask with my outfit, and above by the theme.

Some person: it must be so uncomfortable to wear a mask like that.
Me: I prefer this over getting sick.
Person : of course! You do you! Don’t worry, you don’t need to be ashamed of that!

C’mon. Do I look like I’m ashamed of masking?

Forgive the very sweaty bathroom selfie. It was a nice party and the band was excellent!

We've already seen significant, targeted harassment campaigns online, where a small group of individuals control hundreds of unsophisticated sockpuppets. What does an AI agent-driven harassment campaign look like? This was just one runaway bot. https://theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on-me-part-2/

Ask HN: How to get started with robotics as a hobbyist?

Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46934622

the zeal with which ai boosters’ writings often have religious undertones continues to disturb me—including the current “Something Big Is Coming” drivel

the whole vibe of the piece is that of an evangelical christian claiming “you must believe or you will not be brought up to heaven with us when the rapture comes”

Huh, "Discord's age verification isn't as bad as people say", you might think?

Well: #PeterThiel is pumping money into #Persona, one of companies involved with the verification process: https://www.pcgamer.com/software/platforms/oh-good-discords-age-verification-rollout-has-ties-to-palantir-co-founder-and-panopticon-architect-peter-thiel/

I understand how we got here, and why. Unfortunately this is yet another paver stone along the pathway to the defeat of Open Source by the very thing which owes its existence to it.

A melancholy day.

It's somehow funny that people still believe it's immigrants who are dangerous and not billionaires.

everyonehateselon_: Jim Ratcliffe blames immigrants so you don’t blame tax dodging billionaires like him. Don’t believe the lies.

TUI mastodon interfaces all seem to suck. They have some nice features, but the UI is terrible.

통신사를 KT로 바꾸니까 IPv6가 들어오는데 이러니까 VPN(v4 전용)을 안 타고 밖으로 새길래 WireGuard 안 쓰고 VPN 앱 쓰니까 DNS 원하는 걸 못 써서 광고가 나오길래 다시 WireGuard 세팅하고 AllowedIPs ::/0 해줬더니 다른 앱이랑 DNS가 라우트 되는 줄 알고 시도하다가 연결을 못하길래 DoT로 바꾸면서 v4로 고정하고 근데 없어져야 할 예전 DoH 설정이 안 지워져서 춤추고 셀룰러면 WARP 쓰고 아니면 쓰던 VPN 쓰게 자동화했는데 이게 플랫폼마다 달라서 맥에서는 자동화는 하다 포기하고

everyonehateselon_: Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe went on a racist rant about immigrants this week. Without immigration his current men’s squad would literally have just three players. Who’s done more for this country, Marcus Rashford, or a tax avoiding billionaire living in Monaco?

이석기 의원은 내란음모 하지도 않았는데 내란음모를 했다는 죄로 실형을 살았고 통합진보당은 그 판결이 나오기도 전에 자유민주적 기본질서를 해한다는 이유로 해산됐는데, 전한길 얘는 내란음모를 당당하게 광고까지 하면서 모금까지 받는다네 그런데 공권력이 이렇게 잠잠해도 되는거임??

I just got done reading this post about protocol conformance https://www.massicotte.org/step-by-step-conforming-to-protocols/ by @mattiemMatt Massicotte

I get that it's example code, but I don't understand why one would conform to Equatable via an extension instead of just conforming on the class itself? How come not just `class ImageModel: Equatable`? I see things like this a lot, even in Apple frameworks, so I'm trying to understand it.

I have visited mother and also Rudolf, who for some reason thought we'd be packing him away in his carrier to take him somewhere... And then hid in the kitchen sink in protest. 😆 Not even wet food enticed him out at first!

@mclare @catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) ⁠ Oo! Wondering if your kitty will get to use that traffic cone in the background for a scratching post? We wrapped ours in sisal rope, which little kitty much liked. Then we stuck it atop a larger cone when the little one grew bigger. (And he’s still growing, BTW, so we’re starting to think about another height increase!🙀) #Cat #Cats #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #MaineCoon #MaineCoonCat #EveryDayIsCaturday #Catstodon

프랑스 루브르박물관 회화관에 누수가 발생해 작품 일부가 손상되는 일이 벌어졌습니다. 루브르 쪽은 조사 결과 1822년 프랑스 화가 샤를 메이니에가 완성한 천장화 ‘프랑스 회화의 승리: 신격화된 푸생, 르 쉬외르, 르 브룅’ 일부가 손상을 입은 것을 발견했습니다. 잇단 악재로 박물관이 수난을 겪는 모양새입니다.

루브르, 이번엔 40분간 누수로 ‘프랑스 회화의 승리’...

"So it keeps blowing these 1A 250V slow-blow fuses I've got" ... "Have you tried a different make of fuse?" ... "Well, I've got some, but they're the wrong size"

An interesting cultural phenomenon is prefixing swift-ci commands with “please”. It warms my heart to see new hires adopt this convention. Maybe some of them don’t even realize the “please” does nothing! (Although I like to believe it reduces the odds I’ll hit a flaky test.) I actually don’t even remember how this started and I was around when pull request testing was introduced

Very honored that this baby tortie got up from napping to give me a cuddle

I'm more interested in verificationMethods field than services field right now. atproto stands for **Authentication** Transfer protocol. As we are extending it with extra services, we should also be able to easily manage verify methods.

Immediate rough idea: we can even introduce "require 2FA" mode for scoping. Instead of giving full access with auth, appview will need to pass email verification to perform that operation.

I had the chance to rise in Senate QP this week, in the wake of the Grok deep fake scandal, to ask the government, yet again, why it is so committed to X, and so unwilling to try Mastodon or Bluesky.
