#OtD 13 May 1985 Philadelphia police attacked the home of Black liberation and environmental group MOVE, then dropped a bomb on it, killing 5 adults and 6 children, destroying 61 homes in the predominantly Black neighbourhood, and making 250 people homeless.

@catsalad FNAF menu be like:

I am selling #ThinkPad T480 in good condition, 300€, but I don't know how to ship it elsewhere except in Croatia and Poland via Vinted.

I understand that the Mac App Store isn’t that great. But if you search for something the default results should show you Mac apps not iPhone & iPad apps 🙃

Anne Dickison, Deputy Director of the FreeBSD Foundation, will join Katie Steen-James (Open-Source Initiative) and Margaret Tucker (GitHub) for a GitHub Maintainer Month panel on what age assurance proposals mean for open-source maintainers.

The discussion will examine developments in the U.S., Brazil, and Europe, and what developers need to understand as policy conversations evolve.

Often overlooked:
Politicians already enjoy vastly more popularity due to traditional media coverage and other exposure, so they bring a lot of overweight to the table, inevitably shaping the discourse. Algorithms would merely emphasisze that, but it's a given already.

I mean - just check their usual follower count. It's not even remotely fair!

@alice so I sort of have the opposite problem, people (mostly men) often assume I'm flirting when I'm not because I am often sincerely interested in what people are talking about and ask lots of questions, and even if I'm not actually interested as someone who is surprisingly shy in real life and very much on the "please do not perceive me" end of the spectrum I learnt quite early on that you can divert someone's attention from you by asking about them. Any tips for not accidentally giving people the impression that you want to play Jenga without hurting their feelings or making them angry?

Vibe coding is like homeowner’s special: I don’t care what you do in your own house/for tools you’re gonna use yourself, but you better not be opening an engineering firm with that shit.

@panos Oh, yes, I just tried it here now and it returned results quite immediately, thank you so much!

@ahnlak @bloor @jonty

I must admit that I quite liked it, and it certainly served its purpose. But as a storm-proof tent, I'm unconvinced.

Took a mere two months for this one to manifest lol

Here's a behind the scenes look at our toy production process.

This is the plastic (well, rubber? It's a TPV, vulcanized rubber suspended in a plastic matrix) we mixed up yesterday, a combination of scrap regrind from other projects, some post consumer recycled plastics, and some green colorant.

At this temp, and with this equipment, we can make two rubbery Kumiai-Ki toys every 2.5 - 3 minutes.

For the forseeable future I shall be tooting on topics related to the Charter and privacy which includes #BillC22 and #AgeGate.

IMO Bill C22 is the greatest threat to our privacy and Charter rights that I have seen since the Cons introduced Bill C30 in 2012 (which was withdrawn after much protest).

The spooks (Cdn spies and thier contractors) wish to create a database containing up to one year's worth of your meta data - internet search history and mobile phone contacts with location data, something that could be used to track you.

On the fediverse I recommend following these accounts, each of whom has been stong proponents of privacy since before Bill C30 (14 years ago).

@mgeist a well noted privacy lawyer who has been providing invaluable privacy information for decades.

@OpenMediaOrg an organization that has been campaigning for privacy and internet rights for Canadians for a great many years.

@jonty do you have the complete set yet?

Heute sind 2 Dinge passiert:

Die Koalition verabschiedet sich von den #Klimazielen.

Warum?

Fossile Heizungen können länger als 2045 laufen. Der Markt regle das schon. Dafür gibts den CO2-Preis.

ABER:

Koalition beschließt auch heute, diesen CO2-Preis für 2027 zu stoppen!

🤯

#writersCoffeeClub 13 May: 'if writing was not your "thing," what would your "thing" be?'

Probably TTRPG design. I was very much into that side of things from about 1979-1983. (Am even responsible for some of the classic D&D monsters.)

NB: I haven't gamed in 40+ years at this point.
