@GeePawHill This makes no sense to me. I don't understand the difference in meaning between :"=word" and :="word" and it hurt my head trying to figure it out.
@gdinwiddie Apparently, tags:"=X" is the official syntax. There are, I think, tags that can be numeric, and other comparison operators.

Wait Terry Tao posts 5 days ago about how AI could solve Navier Stokes and now this? Feels like too much of a coincidence? Not suggesting anything untoward from Terry, but something's going on here isn't it?

@thomasfuchs fantastic TL;DR.

"HOPE not hate spoke to one person who was so disturbed by these plans that they contacted the Counter Terrorism Police. But the information that they passed on to the police - that these men intended to go to Dover on the next day and attack Muslims - was apparently of no interest. The caller was told to ring 999. They did"
This is so worrying.

Is there a scoreboard for how many of these wild ass scoops 404 has pulled off? Is anyone else even doing journalism anymore?

@fediforum Sweet!
Here’s the blog post I promised y’all on how I recommend switching password managers in 2026! It covers:
- why your iPhone or iPad, and not your Mac, might be the place to start your switch
- when to make the switch and how to treat your “old” app going forward
- tips and tricks for switching to Apple Passwords, if that’s where you’re going (can be skipped!)
- the recent controversy in password management and some thoughts on values

@rmondello also, thanks for that last section. Well done you!

Keine Prüfungsangst mehr❗Nach der Wahl in Sachsen-Anhalt hat uns NRW-Ministerpräsident Hendrik Wüst recht gegeben in unserer Forderung für ein Prüfverfahren der AfD:
„Nicht mit dem politisch vorher festgelegten Ziel, ihr müsst jetzt ein Verbot prüfen, sondern diese Partei zu prüfen und die etwaigen Rechtsfolgen. Das kann ein Verbot sein, das kann auch etwas anderes sein“. So seine Worte!
❓Warum Wüsts Aussage gerade jetzt so wichtig ist?

A reminder that, in the last week, the #UK police had the resources to plan and get a warrant for a raid on an 84-year old vicar's home for planning a demonstration against genocide.
The purpose of a system is what it does.

British police will arrest pensioners for wearing t-shirts with words that merely *resemble* the name of the proscribed group Palestine Action but allowed a gang of masked racists to block the Port of Dover and terrorize people.
The state will say a lot of words about its values and priorities, but its use of violence will always tell you what it actually cares about.
So. Still working my way through the punchlist of tweaks I’d wanted to make, but: please enjoy this new site, much much closer to the way I wanted it to look.
Eventually you ought to find links there to just about everything I’ve written since 2015, but much of that material’s already on the site, as well as Lifepod episodes, links to all my books, and listings for upcoming (and past!) events. Thanks for bearing with me as I sand down the rough edges in real time.
