My latest: Discord said late on Friday that hackers stole users' government-issued IDs (passports and driver's licenses) from one of its customer support databases.

I wrote a few words about the risks of age verification laws, and why collecting people's government IDs is bad for security and privacy.

How much of your #skincare 🫧🧼😶‍🌫️ routine contains #palmoil? If you brands like #Aveeno Johnson and Johnson and #Olay you're lathering #ecocide onto your face. Instead go #PalmOilFree 💡 and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife 🌴🪔🩸🤢🔥🚫 @palmoildetect.bsky.social palmoildetectives.com/2021/02/…

do you scan as part of the development service? And if so at what resolution would you go for? Or do you scan at home?
in reply to Mez

@mez The former. I go for TIFF scans if they're offered. About 6774x4492px for 35mm.

"With five congressional seats at stake, virtually all of our national legacy media made the choice not to send anyone" to cover a hearing on whether what Texas did was illegal.

Democracy Docket is there, however. More evidence that we now have to rely on small outlets.

"We are told we are free. We are given a bookshelf and nowhere to put it.

It would be easier if we were just broke. But the cruelest trick played on millennials wasn’t poverty. It was false mobility. Just enough money to move cities, not enough to buy. Just enough prestige to feel special, not enough to command loyalty from employers. Just enough cultural capital to curate taste, not enough to own property. We hover in the in-between. The bookshelf comes with us."

How interesting, at first I thought it looked like a relative of the wolverine but further reading suggests its closest relation is the maned wolf. Fascinating stuff, thanks.


This is worth a read before trying the "hot new distro".

currently writing something in Ruby (not even Rails) for work. Wishing I'd used Python, but, a bit late now.

DHH has nothing to do with Ruby. Ruby is a beautiful language that was developed in Japan by @matz.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I'm well aware. have you not been keeping up with current events?

edit: removed Matz' handle so we don't end up threading at him.

@Gargron @fishidwardrobe i understand what you’re trying to say, but DHH does unfortunately have a lot to do with Ruby. Rails occupies a lot of, if not most of, the zeitgeist for Ruby. it’s a great multi-purpose scripting language but most people who use it, especially professionally, are using it to work on Rails applications. DHH is not just the figurehead for Rails; he’s a huge presence in the Ruby community at large
in reply to david celis

@Gargron @fishidwardrobe also, FWIW, Matz has basically been defending DHH on social media in very disappointing ways (second screenshot is just an alternate translation since the first is apparently not as good)
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron @davidcelis @fishidwardrobe I've written about this a few days ago. About this very tweet. There's a little bit more context around similar Matz’s tweets around the time.

I'm confused by the screenshot posts. What's the difference to just posting the text?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Jay Graeber and lowtax’s ex-wife will get in a fight in your mentions if you copy-paste the text
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Not to mention no alt text. I see bigger accounts do the same and it's really frustrating.

There are cross-posting tools available as well, if one must share the same thought on both Mastodon and Bluesky.

in reply to Linh Pham

@qlp This is already posted through a cross-posting tool called Buffer, that's what confuses me.

For large organizations, a public set of rules also provides legal cover against people who might otherwise sue/invoke the EU DSA/etc because they feel they have been unjustly banned. Also, in general, having well-articulated public rules is an honest signal of willing to put effort into maintaining a community (and also giving a hint of what that community may be like). I don't think there needs to be a one-size-fits-all solution, though.
in reply to It's FOSS

Rules for communities are a good thing, so long as they are fair.
I.e. no rules against bigotry with caveats that "we will not act on complaints regarding reverseisms" and suchlike



Picked up a fun one at the Japanese bookstore yesterday. A manga adaptation of HP Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu. I’ve never gravitated to the Lovecraftian cosmic horror genre but something about the rose gold metallic ink on the cover called to me… it called me… it called saying… “Cthulhu fhtagn”

ooh, I didn’t know about bookshop. I’ve also needed an excuse to visit some local stores where I just moved to recently, so I’m going to look around here, too. Thanks!

This is Wren's favourite box. She sleeps in it. She plays in it. She rips bits off of it. And unfortunately, it's splitting at the sides and won't last much longer.

I hope I can get her another the same size sometime. I'm considering buying one specifically!
