If your kids don't understand that their "private" communications are _not private_ if they don't hold the _private keys_, have them read this:
Don't forget, don't ever forget: catastrophic climate change didn't need to happen.
@cwebber I keep thinking of how the world pooled together to help the ozone layer. Sigh.

I'm working on phase 2 of Project Improve Git's documentation and I need beta readers! Here's a signup form: https://forms.gle/swn1jhCULndnCxG87
The first topic is going to the docs on merge conflicts.
I'd love signups from anyone who uses Git on the command line and who would be interested in reading the current version of some man pages and leaving feedback about what's confusing. Especially if you're not 100% comfortable with Git!

@farah I've heard a lot of men fear empowered women and strong female influences. It might be considered horror for them.

I came across this page from 2002. This is about how to encourage women in the Linux community.
So Ladies how much did the community and FOSS in general take the lesson? Are we encouraged?

Last night I read a book 30% and the. I gave up.
We need to redefine horror. Something unconventional- witchcraft, goddess etc doesn’t mean horror

"The latest CFSv2 model run has this El Niño reaching a maximum Niño 3.4 anomaly of about 4.3°C above the 1991-2020 baseline in November. For historical purposes, the previous record Niño 3.4 anomaly was 2.8°C during the 1997-98 El Niño." 🌡️

Derek Lowe ("In the pipeline") on the MIT dimethyl mercury incident:
"... synthesizing or working with dimethylmercury at this point is not cool, edgy, transgressive, or something to impress the crowd with. It is a wildly stupid idea that will endanger your life and the lives of anyone unlucky enough to be around you while this work is going on. Not to mention anyone who is simply unlucky enough to be downwind. It’s like working with homemade nerve gas, but at least that kills you quickly."
@cstross it seems there is still more to learn. given that they've re-opened the building it might end up having been a false alarm...

And there you have it. Google Maps is calling Lake Ontario Lake America, despite having NO obligation to do so.
Cowardly, unnecessary, corporate capitulation.

1997 me: Whoa. It’s you. I mean me. You got old. So is 2026 the Year of Linux on the Desktop?
2026: No, but most phones run Linux. They’re basically pocket supercomputers
1997: Neat
2026: Also Linux runs on top of Windows now
1997: What
2026: Oh and MS hosts Linux’s source
1997: What
2026: Oh and all the web browsers except Firefox are KDE
1997: What
2026: Everyone uses Plan 9’s text encoding. Oh and AI is a thing
1997: Neat!
2026: You’d think so

Experimenting a bit with MapQuest on news that they've decided to buck this whole renaming trend.
Regretfully, the renaming situation around the bodies of water has reminded me that Google has authority over probably more of my data than I should be comfortable with.
@mark There was a time when I had significant faith in G's privacy and security and T&S teams. That has been understandably eroded by G's embrace of Trump fascism.
