Got a super fun package from Ian at Bolt Industries today - he doesn’t have much social presence but has been doing cool and fun maker PCBs as small Kickstarter campaigns for several years. These reference circuits are great - nice cards that introduce you to electrical components and circuits, some with USB connectors and a functional example of the component/circuit. You can get Vols 1 & 2 on his website and 0 thru Kickstarter. https://www.boltind.com/

I kind of want to go back to last Thursday night after @phptek and @wurstcon, hanging out at the hotel. Just want to capture that moment in time and hold onto it.

'Wikimedia Foundation fired Brooke Vibber...the first full-time employee the Wikimedia Foundation ever hired, and its first Chief Technical Officer. For more than twenty years she was the engineer you called when something deep in the code was broken. The Foundation itself once described her as one of a very small number of people in the world who deeply understand the technical underpinnings of the system. She was also a union organizer'

Trump’s recent deal with the Internal Revenue Service was by far the most flagrant act of corruption yet
– perhaps in US presidential history.

First, he sued the agency for $10bn for its alleged negligence in guarding his and his companies’ tax returns from being leaked to the press.
Then he dropped the suit in return for a $1.776bn slush fund to repay his friends, possibly including the January 6 insurrectionists, for the suffering inflicted by their criminal penalties.

And, like a mafia enforcer shooting his victim in the knees after extracting the cash, Trump took a little more.
A memo from Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and the acting attorney general, waives all pending liabilities incurred by his client,
including $100m in potential tax penalties,
and bars all future actions against Trump or his companies by the IRS
“or other agencies or departments”.

In 2024, the supreme court granted the president “presumptive immunity” from criminal prosecution for actions taken as part of his executive duties while in office.
Anna Bower and Eric Columbus, of Lawfare, suggest that this agreement could give him immunity from everything else, forever.
