We've been building a pretty sizeable garden at our house and my wife was shopping for seeds in some catalog. She saw reference to one of the listed seeds being "open source" and not available for "private intellectual property ownership". TIL about osseeds.org. This is so cool.

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE. First no funding. Impeach Noem. Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN. Demand that Miller resign. Don’t let up.

This is where I remind folks once again that my personal site and Whatever, my blog, have been around longer than at least three and probably four generations of social media. Having your own space that only you control is a good thing, especially in an age of resurgent fascism.

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

"Quit demonstrating" is not something that a pro-democracy politician says. It's something that an authoritarian tool says.

heh, cool. Apparently today is the 25th anniversary of earning my Eagle Scout rank. I still believe in the program for my two boys, even if I'm deeply disappointed in how BSA has handled a lot of things in recent years.

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

Brian Wilson has died. The UK and BBC made this tribute a few years ago youtu.be/XqLTe8h0-jo?...

This is absolutely the right take. AGPL and SSPL were written with wildly different (and in many ways, completely contradictory) motivations.

I've been a very happy Fastmail customer for years, but come on... International Email Day? You can't just go make up holidays for a blog post... Oh, it's actually a thing? Ray Tomlinson's birthday. He would have been 84. Well thanks Ray for all the messages. nationaltoday.com/national-ema...

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

A functioning democracy needs consistent principles—and the courage to stand up for them, even when it’s hard and requires sacrifice! BARACK OBAMA: “It’s up to all of us to fix this!” #standup

Took my boys to their first protest today. Gotta teach that it's important at a time like this to make your voice heard. #HandsOff

Such an amazingly clear explanation of how it seems we got here. Well, just the most recent tariff calculation that is. How we got *waves hands* HERE is a whole other, very sad story.

Forgot to share here... Happy 10th Birthday (yesterday) to @caddy.bsky.social. Thanks @mholt.bsky.social for publishing it as open source and leading this project for the last decade! caddy.community/t/thanks-for...

I've been a Linux nerd for over 20 years. Still, TIL 🤯

Hey Lego, I will serious pay extra if you would pack the box with extra material so my kids can't shake the package and ruin their Christmas surprise. Legos make such a distinct sound!

My brother is part of a non-profit that has a 3yr presidential rotation. Year 1 you observe as the "next president", Year 2 your serve as president and make the decisions, Year 3 you advise as the "last president". Does this model have a name?
