Aaron Swartz should have been 39 years old today #aaronswartzday

it is so awesome that one of the things you can do with a computer is help a group of people can talk to other people

Fun holographic cards from #limitedrun release of #celeste. Pretty sure I had to sell my physical copy of celeste, though :( Oh well.

A long time ago (2009-2010) I worked at Peiwei Asian Diner, a fast casual asian fusion restaurant. Tables would be assigned markers, like this red plastic circle in my hand in the photo, with white "67" printed on it. Apparently 67 is all the rage these days. Art imitates life.

Hack the planet :)

#deltachat is a private messaging app. It'd be easy enough to offer various public groups to boost onboarding, and let everyone play. But one would land in a large group that isn't very private, with lots of needs for moderation tooling, troll handling and other social-media issues. Not our […]

I think this take on the sandwich guy trial is correct. our system is built assuming that prosecutors will show appropriate restraint. the sandwich guy case went on for way too long and that in and if itself should be raising alarm bells www.lawfaremedia.org/article/sand...

a guy who used to work for me was deeply, deeply unhappy about issues in our community I was really worried about him -- every time we talked he seemed incredibly stressed, and I wasn't sure what to do about it earlier this year he ran for elected office he won he's getting sworn in this […]

A reminder that many people have their pronouns in their bio and its pretty quick to just go check if you're addressing someone you don't know that well!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115503024028215175 Shout out to Claire* and Eugen for doing the frontend on this, I got pulled away to work on other things and so they pushed it over da finish line and added a whole new AsyncRefresh feature on top. #fetchallreplies is for all the small […]

The Fediverse feels more vibrant when conversations are buzzing! Mastodon 4.5 fetches replies from other servers to show you more complete conversation threads - another much-anticipated feature.

if archive.is dies, I will start the revolution here and now

i'm at the combination amdgpu/panthor

"ship it!" — Theseus

ok a big TIL/surprise moment: because of vulkan, i can let applications render using an external AMD GPU on a desktop that's driven by the RK3588's display pipeline... it's like mixing GPUs. and using zink, opengl apps can be wrapped into vulkan transparently. which means i can run Blender on […]

Good morning

i hadn't "taken poison on purpose and just full on vibe coded as a bit" in awhile, so i gave it a whirl trying to mimic the manic intensity of some of the PRs i see nowadays. i guess i didn't really appreciate how anyone who talks about using LLMs for code is eliding the fact that they are […]

As part of some infrastructure changes, I'm beginning to direct requests to BeaconDB's API to a new server. The new server is ready to answer location queries, so there *should* be no downtime as part of this change. You can continue uploading new data as usual, but it will not be processed […]

Dear #lazygalaxy, we fucked up. Our planet formed a vast one-time reserve of hydrocarbon deposits due to a quirk of evolution - plants out evolved plant-eating microbes, for a time. We burned those hydrocarbons and now our climate is busted. Attached to this message is a technical readout of our […]

Ok with one caveat: I sent an Umeå University professor a document in .odt format and he kindly told me to never, ever, never do that again.

made me giggle for sure 😂 #adulting #silly #humor #cats

Two blurbs from The New York Times email newsletter. Both show the NYT huffing the copium hard. Even in the face of an (moderate) socialist candidate winning an election by offering vaguely left-wing policies like free buses and co-op grocery stores, they […] [Original post on tenforward.social]

Nice to see that the Washington Post is so scared of Mamdani that they're treating him like Voldemort. There's not a single mention of his name in this email, or even of the election results in New York City at all. There's just a photograph of him, with a […] [Original post on tenforward.social]

Respectfully: get fucked, New York Times. Mamdani won on a (moderately) socialist platform. If there's any "moderate" policies to implement, it's those. #nyt #newyorktimes #thenewyorktimes #nyc #newyorkcity #mamdani #zohran #zohranmamdani

I wonder what regulatory pressure might have been involved here. DoorDash's Crimson Card (their debit card where they instantly send payouts) has always been a pain in the ass to move money out of, having to wait several days in order to do so. I always […] [Original post on tenforward.social]

You know what? I don't think I will. I think I'll wait until the (longest in our history) government shutdown is over and then see what the plans look like. Context: I've gotten several emails recently from healthcare.gov imploring me to sign in and look […] [Original post on tenforward.social]

Still thinking about "Cuomintang." Excellent use of language. 10/10.

Gee, I wonder why billionaires want to control the encyclopedia. (Kudos to the contributors of this very astute section of Zohran Mamdani's Wikipedia bio.)

Zohran Mamdani wins! He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win. Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

I reiterate: aftermath dot site picks only winners

now the real work begins

Whoever at the IRS managed to get the code for Direct File posted to Github before it was inevitably smothered in its crib, I salute you. https://github.com/IRS-Public/direct-file

NYC polls closed less than 45 minutes ago and we have more than 80% (unofficial) reporting already. NYC does not screw around.

With about 70% of the vote in, Mamdani is currently over 50%. If that holds, it means that even without Cuomo and Sliwa splitting the opposition, Mamdani would still have won.

it is once again cuomover

get fucked cuomo

Pretty much everyone now calling it for Mamdani at this point. Sliwa has conceded. I don't think Cuomo has yet, however.

Congrats to Mamdani :D

https://www.sea-ql.org/SeaORM/docs/generate-entity/entity-first/ >This is where SeaORM shines: it automatically builds a dependency graph from your entities and determines the correct topological order to create the tables, so you don't have to keep track of them in your head. Awesome. It […]

@jonny woah this is amazing!

torrents are just bundles of hashes and a file layout! they (or v2 torrents at least) are actually a really nice way to do content addressing for files and directories. so when combined with the rest of activitypub, e.g. being able to do updates, sign objects, extend them with additional […]

Here's another #fep for representing torrents on activitypub :) short, sweet, and with a reference implementation and tests! towards a federated bittorrent tracker with #sciop ! PR: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/714 Discussion […]

I'm sure, though, that the US' sturdy, consistent regulatory institutions will make sure nothing fishy's going on here aftermath.site/ea-saudi-ara...

companies will say anything to get mergers approved! and how can current leadership guarantee anything when they're about to be under new leadership! it's always placative nonsense

I genuinely hate Docker and this whole wave of containerization that's taken over every facet of software development. Too confused to learn something? Just download the image from Docker Hub, follow the one line of instructions, and then you're set! Reality: when something goes sideways, and […]

the purpose of a system is what it does

infosec has a lot to learn about understanding failure conditions and accurate, understandable error messages from roadies

Oh God. I'm diving back into the world of #vim ricing. Looks like vim-plug is the new hotness, and Vundle is out of vogue. YouCompleteMe is still around, but there's also ALE. Basically, I really don't wanna have to use #vscode if I don't have to, and am prepared to suffer in service of that […]
