ideally, a microkernel should also help to reduce the scale of the project to make it possible to be familiar enough with most of the code to review others' work

@suricrasia Canonically, that's /Spidersman/, with an S.

This is more or less on par with "Melania organized a cocktail picnic at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider in Arlington." Except probably a little worse than that.

18 security reports in a single day. Let's not beat this record.

Bill C-22 is a Canadian government bill around "lawful access" to data, which is a bit of a privacy disaster that has @signal.org@bsky.brid.gy saying they would pull out of Canada if implemented as is. I started an open @semble.so@bsky.brid.gy collection if you want to add your own links

@dexter @lattera To be fail, we've all lost a lot of things at crappy HBAs.

Now will diskctl have some magic cronjob/log-watcher to notify when a disk becomes unwell? smartd is quite helpful for that.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (#PCOS) was officially renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (#PMOS) on May 12, 2026,. This change, published in The #Lancet and announced at the European Congress of Endocrinology, followed a rigorous 14-year global consensus process. The update aims to reduce stigma, improve diagnosis, and accurately reflect the condition's complex, multi-system nature beyond just the ovaries.

This is huge news for women, as it’s estimated that up to a third of women experience some PMOS symptoms. The previous nomenclature meant that many women were not being diagnosed correctly. As a matter of #bioethics of women’s treatment, this is a big sea change. As to how it changes medical professional’s approach, we will have to determine.

so, it's worth reconsidering whether blame needs to be a bad word. it can be reframed as responsibility. in addition to making it harder for contributors to make mistakes, we also have to consider how to limit the ability of contributors to harm users. this encourages more forms of direct democracy, instead of hyperspecialization and hierarchy as seen in the linux codebase

@zerojanvier c'est vrai qu'il a très bien vieilli

Reminder that I made a nice thing last week or so.

Mention @message_in_a_bottle to leave a nice note for a random stranger, and the bot will give you a note that was left by someone else.

I curate the messages by hand, and they're all written by real people who want to say something nice to you.

If you just need to hear something kind, that's fine too -- just say "hi" or "." or whatever and the bot will do its thing.

Take care of yourselves and each other. 💕

Detroit residents are paying some of the highest water costs in the region because of a decades-old deal that shifted most stormwater infrastructure costs onto the city — even though suburban customers make up most of the system’s users.

For some low-income Detroiters, water bills now eat up as much as 25% of disposable income.

CANADIANs ...

If you have not come across this effort yet, or have not reviewed and signed on ... please take a moment and do so.

Bill C22 is as bad if not worse than it's predecessor attempt C-2, and the earlier implemented C-18 which had the exact opposite effect on Canadian online media presence than everyone (well, everyone but us already-federated folk) thought.

Consider that Signal Messenger has indicated it will withdraw access from us rather than compromise privacy. it's bad.
