(From 2023) "The wife of a former Republican congressman said Sen. Markwayne Mullin [who's replacing the outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem] put his fingers in the noses of sleeping congressional spouses for photo ops on a trip to Israel."
I can't even.
I miss the days when NFTs were the stupidest thing I'd ever heard of.

Here's another way to put it: if those using AI agents to codegen / review are the *initialization vectors*, we now also have a significant computing public health reason to discourage the use of these tools.
Not that I think it will. But I'm convinced this is how patient zero will happen.
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber just today our org had a big "how to set up coding with agents" preso and in the chat someone's like 'here's how to connect your agents with windows credential store or the macos keychain" and I all but wept
Slurs are just really never something you need to use.

Hi! I'm new here and I'm looking forward to being involved. I'm sick of Meta and their censorship. I'm interested in anything that helps remove Trump and maga from our lives.
In the countryside, there are rituals that have endured for hundreds of years, unchanged.
This elderly woman, her body bent by time and hard work, walks each day to meet her chickens - who roam freely across a vast open space.
She gathers a few branches and leaves, then returns to fetch the food she’ll give them, to complement what they’ve already foraged in nature.
The chickens, friendly and orderly, follow her all the while.
And watching them, I’m reminded of people who are no longer here - people who were part of my life for a long time, who lived those same rituals, even if hundreds of kilometers away.
Even as everything around us changes, there are places that never do.
It's a good day for #HHKB owners!

Laurens Hof is at it again highlighting the problems of our lack of an adequate ActivityPub API and the hurdles that are to come in it getting adoption.

What future millennia will remember about the 2020s is it was the decade America's industries decided to fire all their transsexuals and replace us with statistical text models and see if they remained a technological civilization.
That's a debatable thesis, actually, but the future will pretty much have to believe it because by coincidence this one post you're reading will be the only piece of recorded media that survives the unplanned re-entry of Elon Musk's DEATHSTAR-1 datacenter in 2031

🦊 Mozilla adding a one-click toggle to completely disable all AI features in Firefox
Firefox 148 (coming Feb 24) will reportedly let users block current and future GenAI features—including translations, alt text, tab grouping, link previews, and the AI chatbot sidebar.
"AI should always be a choice – something people can easily turn off," says Mozilla's new CEO.

nuintari's rules of networking 0x05:
A proper recursive name server is local to your network. Never use any of the commercial providers that really want your DNS traffic. They really want your DNS traffic for a reason. That reason does not have your best interests at heart.
DNS is not hard.
The most surreal thing about AI coding shit taking on is the revelation that so many people who do this thing that I love, seem to have no care for the craft at all. Even people who I would have pointed at, years ago, as those who clearly care. And I know it has always been Just A Job for many people, but holy shit, do you even care a little bit?
We humans are not merely bad at it, we have people who have been doing the work with no desire to be good at it in the first place.
If you don’t like programming, I invite you to do something else with your time instead of promoting the machine that lets you not do it. Some people actually like it, you jerks.

just encountered one of the most upsetting hardware things yet: verilog embedded in yaml as a yaml list
Briefcase v0.4.0 has been released! This is a big release, with a significant behavioral change: Briefcase’s development mode now runs apps in an isolated development environment. This should remove some common sources of error, and paves the way for better compatibility with tools like `uv`. It also adds debugging mode for Android apps, and a new plugin interface for publishing apps - with a PythonAnywhere plugin for web deployment already available!
I am convinced we are on the verge of the first "AI agent worm". This looks like the closest hint of it, though it isn't it quite itself: an attack on a PR agent that got it to set up to install openclaw with full access on 4k machines https://grith.ai/blog/clinejection-when-your-ai-tool-installs-another
But, the agents installed weren't given instructions to *do* anything yet.
Soon they will be. And when they are, the havoc will be massive. Unlike traditional worms, where you're looking for the typically byte-for-byte identical worm embedded in the system, an agent worm can do different, nondeterministic things on every install, and carry out a global action.
I suspect we're months away from seeing the first agent worm, *if* that. There may already be some happening right now in FOSS projects, undetected.
I wrote a blogpost on this: "The first AI agent worm is months away, if that" https://dustycloud.org/blog/the-first-ai-agent-worm-is-months-away-if-that/
People who are using LLM agents for their coding, review systems, etc will probably be the first ones hit. But once agents start installing agents into other systems, we could be off to the races.

new from me: FR#156 - Share Where?
on @Mastodon 's new Share button, the Mastodon API and protocol ownership
@fediversereportConnected Places Good overview as usual.
One point I would have added is that, while Mastodon announced this Share button a while back, a “pure” ActivityPub-based way to expose share URLs and similar features exists in FEP-3b86 (https://fediverse.codeberg.page/fep/fep/3b86/) and has also been gaining prominence recently (c.f. the list of implementations).
For example, ActivityPub for WordPress published its v8.0.0 today, which includes new “Like” and “Share” buttons that use this proposal.

Oh: The whole "use an LLM to strip away licenses/original authors' expressed preferences" thing is actually happening a lot:

Composable Architecture 2.0 and SQLiteData work together like salt and pepper. You treat persisted models as simple values that live in your feature’s state, something that just isn’t possible in SwiftData.
And all of TCA’s powerful testing tools just work! You play a script of user actions to your feature and get to exhaustively test how your feature changes over time by describing it in simple mutations.
Watch our preview of these tools today: https://www.pointfree.co/episodes/ep356-beyond-basics-superpowers
