I don't think the UK media have made nearly enough noise about the US Navy sinking an *unarmed* Iranian warship and then, in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, leaving them to drown.

This is a heinous war crime which the media would be rightly up in arms about if any country that wasn't nominally an "ally" had done it.

USA: It is time we kill the religious extremists.

Also the USA: Attacking Iran is part of God’s devine plan, and President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.

RE: mastodon.social/@twostraws/116

Officially the fastest-growing* SwiftUI agent skill around! Folks have already been in touch to say it's identifying problems (and solutions!) in their projects, so give it a try if you're using Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, etc 🙌 (* Yes, this is an xkcd 1102 reference.)

중국 식세기입니다.
공간이 좁은 아파트가 많아서
이렇게 싱크대 옆에 식세기를 두는데
특이점이 있다면

중국 식세기는 거의 종합 세척기라서
과일 채소 해산물도 세척 가능하다는 거.
아무래도 중국 시장에 맞는 제품이라서
이런 게 많이 흥한다고 합니다.

There was supposed to be a ForumWG meeting this week, but due to low turnout, and the fact that most threadiverse implementors couldn't actually make the meeting time, I have decided to indefinitely postpone the monthly meetings in favour of discussions on @forum-wg directly.

Note once again that the new address is @forum-wg — the old address (@forum-wg@community.nodebb.org) will publish a Move to migrate its followers at some point to this new address.

Fuck this fucking timeline. How is this even a thing that needs to be considered? Fuck tech bros with the dirtiest volleyballs possible.

The state Senate unanimously passed legislation Wednesday that prohibits employers from requesting, requiring or encouraging employees to have microchips implanted in their bodies. The bill previously passed the House of Representatives on an 87-6 vote last month. It now heads to the governor’s desk for final approval.

Maryam Hedayati, an expert in human-computer interaction, has joined the computer science department as a member of the teaching faculty.

Inspired by her undergraduate professors Carleton College, Hedayati is excited to introduce Princeton students to computer science. In an intro class, she said, students are learning to think in a whole new way. "I really enjoy helping them through that.”

You may look at a problem and think "Aha! The solution is to run my own email server." Now you have two problems, Google is marking all of your email as spam, an unknown number of threat actors using your server to spread malware because you forgot to patch something, and a small pile of subpoenas.

@promoviczprom™️ @laurenshof It's "entertaining content" for sure, but what it also gets at is not just the technical side of things, but the social one, and how we are caught between both, and our systems are the output of the conflicts between technical goals and social dynamics.

@evanEvan Prodromou is my friend, and I'm not super proud of that exchange, because I lost patience publicly, because this is a sore issue for me. But of course, you tear things back, and Evan and I had a nice chat afterwards, and actually have hung out quite a bit before and since, and behind all of that, both of us were going through things in our personal lives.

And yet the decisions we make in these messy social dynamics influence the kinds of technical systems which in turn influence the kinds of social systems we can have!

@promoviczprom™️ @laurenshof @evanEvan Prodromou It does worry me though, and there's a reason it's so personal to me. The lack of signing of messages and content-addressing have lead to serious issues that, while ATproto does worse than us on the aspects of power distribution, it does better in terms of content survivability and portability, and these are things I thought were important *all the way back in ActivityPub standardization*, but we couldn't get to yet.

There is no "technical problems vs social problems" dichotomy. Social situations influence technical design, and technical design informs the kinds of social systems that are possible. Protocol development is all of this, mass multiplied.

The View From RSS - What the web looks like when you subscribe to 2,000 RSS feeds.

Such a cool setup. I would ike to have something like this someday. Where I would only have one feed to look at, I won't need anything else.

Currently, I have like 10 feeds.
