Feels like they're intentionally trying to put Thunderbird in the crossfire here.

The image depicts a dilapidated concrete structure with multiple levels, a part of former river station pier. Its walls are covered in various colorful graffiti, including red, blue, green, yellow, and orange hues. The concrete structure is situated on a river bank, with the river and some greenery on the other bank visible in the background. A metal railing can be seen near the top of the image, adding to the overall sense of abandonment.

@Mastodon Iโ€™m a big badge collector, so this made my day. My official Mastodon enamel pin badges arrived today, and seeing all three laid out on their backing cards just makes them even better.

The classic logo pin, the glittery Live Laugh Federate design, and the Mastodon Elephant pin all look brilliant. Really happy to support Mastodon at the same time.

Another reason to hate #Apple We're seeing more 2018+ MacBook Pro/Air donations โ€” but Apple's T2 chip means even after iCloud sign-out and reset, the firmware stays locked to the original account.

Without donor contact, these machines are useless. ๐Ÿ™

I've upcycled ~1,000 older Macs, but T2 era machines will end that. It's controlling, creates e-waste, and will only get worse. #righttorepair matters โ€” Apple couldn't care less.

@aglimme @Gargron do you even know how big of an issue stolen macs are? I bet you don't!

Also, i'm not saying lets just unlock them all. But it should be EASIER for the legit user to release it.. remotely from their icloud account.

You can have both security and reusability

@Epic_Null @Gargron @aglimme exactly.

Like how hard would it be to, at that screen, have a button that says "contact user" or "request to unlock"

And then the user gets a secure message asking them if they lost this mac or if they want to unlock it for the new owner?

Seems doable!

@Epic_Null @Gargron I totally agree that there should be a mechanism to totally unlock the machine, this however, sounds like a great way to harass someone. Steal their laptop or phone, then constantly ask to unlock. Seeing that pop-up over and over would be so annoying. Also laptop theft from cafes where I live is definitely a significant issue. Just want to point out that there are legitimate reason to brick hardware.

@Gargron @aglimme the one reason to password lock the bootloader would be to DETER theft if people know it will be useless to them to steal it. But there should definitely be an option given to the device owner to disable this.

Good question if this goes to ban US stuff in EU outright because could be a violation of the privacy laws.
With the EU/US relationship in freefall, it could be another string attached to the political spat.

Linux/freeBSD maintainers should think twice before jump this bandwagon before find themselves banned from EU and other countries with more restrictive laws.

After finally finding the supermarket that most often (I guess) has the fertilized JiDori eggs. I heard that other stores in the same local chain have these eggs they were never there when I looked. In the nice weather the 20 minute drive across town wasn't so bad. The store was much bigger than I expected to be before noticing that it's very close to a Japanes military base. It would be interesting to tack down the producer and ask her about the pedigree (!???!) of the birds.. If they are Amakusa DaiOu birds, or if this is something like the descendents of F-1 hybrid plants splitting into their crossed parent varieties and sometimes looking very different than their immediate ancestor...

New Chicks: mostly from JiDokKo eggs from the FukuroNoKai (Owl Association) farmer's market, but two are from Silky eggs from that market's table too. The brown striped ones may be from birds that were hatched from JiDori eggs from a local supermarket. Those birds got huge and I want to try hatching a bunch of them.. They are labeled as JiDori.. so they could be anything I guess.. Maybe Amakusa Daiou which is what the look like, I think...

drew yesterday's wordmark in #uxn in ~350 bytes (40% savings over bitmap) by indexing into the 22 sprites it can be reduced to.
also used a "door" correctly for the first time while doing this (before ultimately removing it to save bytes ^^")

paste.sr.ht/~sporeball/c7e285cโ€ฆ

A screenshot of a terminal being used to run two commands. The first command outputs a portion of the code stored in a Uxntal file named falsegood.tal. The second command compiles that code into a ROM file named falsegood.rom, then runs it in a Uxn emulator, displaying a wordmark, "Falsegood"

@neauoire nicely done! it seems like a tradeoff, where either the Tal is simpler and the sprite data is a little larger (yours), or the Tal is more complex and the sprite data is a little smaller (mine)?

to your credit, i like the handwritten look, i forgot that the sprite byte is powerful enough to work the way it does in yours ^^"

in most cases, roms rarely take the full 64kb, but since it's a VM operations are clostly, in this case it doesn't matter to much since it's single shot rendering, and it's going to be lightning fast, but if you were to animate the logo, the fewer cycles spent in the evaluation loop the better
