in non-meme poisoned form: this new CEO job is *temporary*. the details about the person who's about to be CEO for a bit are almost irrelevant. what matters is whoever gets the actual permanent job. all of this is very normal corporate stuff. you can't read into the tea leaves

*very orc-on-a-bicycle voice* looks like cycle commuting is back on the menu, boys!

i wonder why "Chief Innovation Officer" rather than "Chief Protocol Officer" or such. will the focus be on atproto?

(for the record this joke is a dark one because they disregarded my advice and i'm still kinda mad about it)

a lot of yinz have never had an executive search committee ask for your consultation and it shows

Multiple outlets (e.g. Middle East Eye, Reuters) also describe this double-tap: an initial hit, then a second strike on rescuers/parents gathering kids in a prayer hall. This is the second time in recent memory the U.S. military has been accused of an illegal attack on rescuers/survivors.

Wow. Marathon is embarrassingly bad. I wish I hadn't spent money on it. The devs should be ashamed of it.

Couldn't sleep. Spent the night mocking up a rough draft of a refresh of KDE's 2003-era "Keramik" theme.

Hearing the "Oxygen" theme is getting love reminded me of this often overlooked aesthetic. Everaldo's Crystal icons defined this era of Linux for many users.

I've a pretty good idea of where I want to take this look. There's a good, crisp dynamic between blue and yellow design elements that already exists in many Crystal icons. Crystal has obvious influences, but Keramik itself is a standout, with reliance on 3D-like elements I want to explore more of.

(note: this isn't functional, I have no idea how to make a real theme, I'm just an artist toying around in Inkscape)

According to a post on LinkedIn by developer Uros Gazvoda, uBlock DNS has reached over 37 thousand accounts and over 36 million blocked requests.

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7436838518036832256/

The project is unaffiliated with uBlock Origin and Raymond Hill. The project has been controversial, with some uBlock Origin users mistakenly installing it under the belief it was owned by the same person.
Adding to this, uBlock Origin fan site ublockorigin[.]com has began promoting the project, without disclosing it is unaffiliated with uBo.

Notes about this:

1. For purposes of this week's music links I am declaring total amnesty on all sins and crimes, like *total* amnesty, even artists I am really upset with (I am not upset with Lil Keke)

2. I'm not actually sorry, Beck

3. You may have encountered Lil Keke being interviewed in the news in the last couple years about his time in the Screwed Up Click clique— specifically to talk about fellow S.U.C. member George Floyd, aka Big Floyd, later a resident of Minneapolis

Also I love to see more cross protocol work happening. Rising tides can lift all boats. Folks who want to have protocol wars can wade in and try to hold back the ocean.

I have some complicated thoughts on Nilay Patel's interview with the CEO of Hasbro.

The simplest of those is that I'm glad that, despite Patel having previously used his podcast to make transphobic jokes, he used the opportunity to ask why Hasbro was OK financing Rowling's transphobia.

"Separate the art from the artist" is a terrible fucking answer, though, and I wish Nilay had pressed on that.

Emelia has already done so much great standards and auth work behind the scenes, which benefits not just atproto/atmosphere, but also ActivityPub, Solid, and other social web ecosystems. really excited about the potential for FedCM to make login flows slick and competitive with Google/Apple/Meta

Step 1: Get a job as chief of saving money for the Federal government (DOGE).

Step 2: Instead of pushing to simplify the tax code, automate tax collection or simply hire more IRS workers to catch billionaire tax dodgers, you fire a bunch.

Step 3: Retweet posts about how your racist AI (aka MechHitler) can do people’s taxes.
