uspol, trans genocide
These are just headlines from the past several days.
uspol, trans genocide
There's more, especially on the state level. Eg the Idaho house just passed a bathroom ban that bans trans use of bathrooms *in private businesses*, with mandatory enforcement by businesses, punishable by a $10k fine if a customer identifies a trans person in the bathroom. https://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/politics-government/2026-02-17/idaho-house-passes-transgender-bathroom-ban
Kansas rolled out a bathroom bill that provides *bounty hunting*, where people are paid for turning in trans people who use the "wrong" (ie, right) bathroom https://www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/19/anti-trans-bathroom-bill-kansas/
I'm just saying. It's getting bad. It's worth knowing how bad.

Not gonna get into it right now (gotta go to bed) but labeling criticism of LLM based "AI" as "purity culture" and that one can just legitmize using any and all tech if one just somehow creates "free and open" versions of it is not a good take. Really not. Refusing to use LLMs on ethical grounds is also not a claim that problems are solved "by shopping carefully". That's a lot of straw men just to legitimize using an LLM to do spellcheck. Maybe just do it and don't try to throw people under the bus who aim for something better.

@mkljczknicole mikołajczyk introduced a proposal for MAEPs (Mastodon API Enhancement Proposals) which would be similar to the FEP process but for converging on API schema for servers that are not Mastodon but who are using the Mastodon client API

M1 MacBook Air Out of Stock at Walmart as Lower-Cost MacBook Nears
Apple's older MacBook Air with the M1 chip is now out of stock on Walmart's website in the U.S., amid rumors of a new lower-cost MacBook coming soon. A colorful MacBook (concept) Walmart first began selling the MacBook Air with the M1 chip for $699 in March 2024. The price later dropped to $649, then to $599, and briefly to as low as $549 during a Black Friday sale last year.

It has become impossible for me to read "we have updated our user agreements" without reflexively proceeding to "pray we don't update it any further".
@trwnhinfinite love ⴳ There's also this, yeah. GTS interaction controls have already gone through one breaking schema revision from version 0.19 to 0.21 (with 0.20 trying to manage both), and a core goal of the FEP I'm working on is to not break compatibility again.
Sending out an Add in addition to the Accept(Note) that's already happening should be non-breaking for existing implementations, I'm pretty sure. What's left to decide is whether it's a good idea.

@julian@fietkau.socialJulian Fietkau @evanEvan Prodromou @julian@activitypub.space @smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. this makes me really wish people didn't overload the AS2 vocab so much, and were less afraid of defining their own extensions. you could swing it so that the same activity is an Add, Accept, and ReplyAck. it sucks that we have to pick one instead of using whatever makes sense. (developers: please support multityping and/or duck typing! composability is the only true path to extensibility, and one size never fits all...)

"The rabid adherents of AI – not those who feel compelled to use it for work, but the ones who won’t shut the fuck up about it – are too blinkered, greedy, or ignorant to see the writing on the wall. They do not love computers; maybe they never did. They love money and having a mistake-prone LLM do their work for them. They love increasingly ugly leather jackets. They fear falling behind their peers, and would do anything to keep up no matter the impact on the world. They love the insular fascist tech culture that radiates like a cancer from the Bay Area, a once vibrant and interesting place made foul by their presence. They love offloading their tasks to something mimicking a human voice, and scaring themselves into thinking it has personhood despite the entire premise being flawed from the jump. They love deskilling themselves in real time and fooling themselves into thinking they’re Albert Einstein 2."

uspol, trans genocide
Hello, remember how I've said before that they're planning trans genocide in the US? Well, a lot has been happening to move forward on that front. A *lot*.
- The head of the Heritage Foundation, who are behind Project 2025, which I may remind you was *nearly fully enacted* in 2025 despite being huge, is saying the correct thing to do about trans people to outlaw being trans. And that includes outlawing all trans health care (adults too), and considering trans people mentally unfit https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/you-outlaw-it-heritage-foundation
- Elon Musk, who continues to hold *enormous* influence over US policy, is boosting eliminationist rhetoric about trans people https://bsky.app/profile/zackbeauchamp.bsky.social/post/3mf2r237sws2j
- Annnnnnd the Justice Department issues a memo saying it's time to end all transgender care, including HRT, surgeries, but also even access to gener-appropriate clothing and affects https://www.lawdork.com/p/trump-admin-new-bop-anti-trans-prison-policy
There's more. But that's where things are going right now... and I expect more to be coming.
