while you port and emulate games, I ported Jira to my PSP

I always drop my ballot off at the library but also there’s nothing more American than casting your vote at the McDonald’s drive-through.

I love seeing your kids’ first day of school pics! All of them are beautiful! But saying this with my cybersecurity professional hat on: you probably shouldn’t be posting pictures of your kids. I’m sorry :(

The dream of URLs—open, permissionless sharing—is fading. I can't paste URLs into my AIs or send them to my friends and be sure that they'll see what I see. But you know what does work? Screenshots! Screenshots are the successor to URLs. Open, permissionless sharing.

Sam Neill on tackling depression and imposter syndrome when you’re between jobs.

You have an important role: Follower.

One of the most privileged life perspective things I have in my career, is working at a place for 10 years. Instead of blaming an anonymous dumb idiot doing something years ago, increasingly it was me. A younger, naïve, idealistic me who thought some other sucker would be maintaining this by then.

The only one you need

It’s weird that we created open source to be free to fork and personalize however you want without any agreement from upstream, and then we created social norms where we shame people for doing that

My ideal portable setup.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

🚨 IT’S A CROSSOVER EPISODE 🚨 We’re joined by @fivefourpod.bsky.social & @ifbookspod.bsky.social’s own Peter Shamshiri for a diet book deep dive on Tim Ferriss’s “The 4-Hour Body.” What does $250k in medical equipment get you? Unlimited ultrasounds & bad advice! www.buzzsprout.com/1411126/epis...

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years. That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

Officials say risk to vaccinated people is low.

What if you could collect Wikipedia articles and make them battle? Wikigacha, created by Japanese developer Haruki Sugiyama, turns every Wikipedia article into a collectible trading card.

As someone who, while growing up, had measles, rubella, and many other horrible illnesses now preventable by vaccination, I simply cannot fathom why people want to revert to that time. I spent a lot of time in bed or at the hospital as a child. Yes, I survived, but not by much. Why go back there?

Please make a terrible ruckus about this, if you live in Oregon

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

AI driven RAM pricing forcing developers to get better at resource use is a very funny outcome

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor. Not one more penny.

I only use organic software that hasn't been developed using computers

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

At the gpg.fail talk and omg #39c3 You can just put a \0 in the Hash: header and then newlines and inject text in a cleartext message. Won’t even blame PGP here. C is unsafe at any speed. gpg has not fixed it yet.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

I really want to know the full story behind this epic hack, and yet I also hope it is never solved.

Good morning from DAY FIVE of our national ULP strike! We're ready to escalate if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing & the resolution of 100s of ULPs. RT if you're with us ✊🔥 #NoContractNoCoffee

I'm really sick of "open enrollment" why am I having to decide shit every year until I die

Well this is very nice. Thank you @alexfalcone.bsky.social

I'm pro-union because I think workers should organize to balance the power that business owners have in various negotiations. It's true that unions have been weakened, but it's not because of multiculturalism. I would argue, it's because people seek to exploit divisions for their material interests.

Thirty paintings created by the bushy-haired, soft-spoken Bob Ross will soon be up for auction to defray the costs of programming for small and rural public television stations suffering under cuts in federal funding. https://to.pbs.org/4nEQMrw

Maybe Trump saw my 9yo playing with a stick in the park and thought #Portland was at war. He was swinging it pretty hard, so I’m sorry if that scared someone. If the National Guard gets bored I have a lot of mulch that needs spreading at my place.
