it's a good point that intentions don't matter. When investors put pressure on them, they will be in a tough spot, even with the best vision.

Ostracism is evil

Ostracism is evil is a silencing tactic that opposes any suggestion that someone should leave a community, or that other members should shun them, because excluding someone from a community is wrong.

New tool from me: I wrote a local aligner that can do approximate reference-based alignment and find genes in a query microbial genome, without a separate indexing step or any temporary disk space usage.

Written fully in Rust and there will be a browser version out later: github.com/tmaklin/kbo 1/3

While I wasn’t affected too much by recent storms / #typhoons (at worst it was just rainy weather), the incoming #ManYi / #PepitoPH is likely the closest to approach #Manila, #Philippines 🇵🇭 .

My Twitter is gone, so I might start posting here more often! Let me re-introduce myself. I study birds. In particular, I borrow insights from developmental systems theory and enactive cognition to explore how birds experience and construct their social environments. I'm also critical of genetic determinism in animal and human behavior.

Here's my best effort to work out why Bluesky blew up over the weekend. Bluesky knows what it's *for*. Threads is still working that out platformer.news/bluesky-post-e…
It also stands rather sharply in contrast to Threads. As a Mark Zuckerberg production, Threads was always going to get a cool reception from elites of both parties. Their initial predictions that the app was dead on arrival were quickly proved wrong, as it rocketed past 100 million users in a few months. I seem to enjoy Threads more than most people I know: I’ve found it more than adequate for following the day’s tech news and the conversation around it, even if it’s not nearly as vibrant as Twitter once was. Threads has had moments of cultural impact; Stephen King now identifies as “a Threads guy.” In general, though, the feed feels less vibrant than Bluesky’s has over the past couple weeks. There is a sense that few of the people using it have a strong sense of what it is for, exactly. Ryan Broderick today called it “some kind of algorithmic holding pen for anyone who has ever eaten a Sweetgreen salad in Salesforce Park.”

This one’s quite important, thespinoff.co.nz/atea/25-10-20….

While Māordom has been in an uproar about the Treaty Principles Bill, which New Zealand First MP Shane Jones says is “dead in the water”, the coalition government has quietly set the wheels in motion for at least 28 pieces of legislation to have their Treaty clauses reviewed and potentially removed.

Key terminology here is “investors.” This seems like just the right sort of trickery perfected by conservatives in America.

thx @ClareBear


The under-the-radar Treaty clause review that could have far-reaching consequences

Shane Jones has the Treaty clause in the Conservation Act in his crosshairs – and it's just one of an estimated 28 laws set for review.

can a UI designer (preferably one who works at microsoft) tell me why there's a link in windows settings labelled "changing taskbar colour", which opens a bing search in edge for "change windows 11 taskbar colour site:microsoft.com", with colours spelt the UK way, which shows zero results but has a suggestion box containing a button labelled "open colors setting", with colours spelt the US way, which opens a new tab which asks if you'd like edge to open settings, which opens the windows settings app to the colour personalisation page, only to have the "set taskbar colour" switch be greyed out
windows settings screenshot with a hyperlinnk labelled "changing taskbar colour"
bing search for "change windows 11 taskbar colour site:microsoft.com" (UK spelling). there are no search results, but there's a suggestion box thing with some text about what the windows 11 personalisation settings are capable of, and a button labelled "open colors setting" (US spelling)
microsoft edge popup window reading "this site is trying to open settings. https://www.bing.com wants to open this application.", with the options "open" and "cancel". "cancel" is highlighted in blue, and "open" is grey.
windows settings screenshot. "show accent colour on start and taskbar" is disabled.

UI designer here, it's a mix of corporate greed (the Bing/Edge nonsense) and just bad UX design (you apparently have to switch the theme to "Dark" or "Custom" - if you select Custom you then have to switch "Windows mode" to dark first 💀 - for that toggle to get enabled from what I've seen, never used Windows 11 though)
