I'm looking into build errors and every single one says to go into XCode (which I do not have, because I am on Linux) and change some build settings there. So I go look into how to change build settings for Swift on Linux, and I come across a Reddit thread where the consensus is please for the...

I love the descriptions of hyper-EDC tacticool products on Etsy or wherever compared to like… gear made for lightweight camping. One one side, its all "using materials originally developed in secret for the US military", "inspired by the ultra-low profile design of the stealth bomber", & "the...

Looks like Swift/Vapor doesn't want me to have a dictionary value of varying type. If I explicitly cast it to `[String:Content]` (Content is a Vapor type, which is something it expects), it tells me I can't specify the type as a protocol, it has to be a concrete type. I'd have to figure out how...

Over on Bluesky, I just released [@uspol.blakeslabs.com, the US Politics Labeler](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bxnuth7kms5l57v2milp5gb3). If you subscribe to it, political posts will start disappearing or being hidden behind content warnings automatically -- no action required from the...

If you're going to talk to a smart assistant out loud in front of other people, at least give your shortcuts names which sound like like trashy thrillers. Tired: Hey Siri, turn out the lights. Wired: Siri, activate the Hades contingency. Alexa, initiate project Dædalus. Okay Google, proceed to...

I am deeply concerned, and am monitoring the situation closely. I urge everyone involved to exercise restraint and avoid any actions which could further escalate tensions.

I've heard a couple of times this week something to the effect of "Nazis aren't people.". I know that it's really appealing to dehumanize them because that makes it easier to fight back and resist. And because it is horrifying to imagine people acting this way. But it's so much worse than that....

Before I can set up my dev environment I need Tailscale to access my repositories. To get Tailscale to fully work I need to let it set my DNS. To do that I need to have persistent R/W access to `/etc` (Tailscale tries to do an atomic update, which involves writing a new file to `/etc`, which it...

I have just discovered the Gracia app, a semi-experimental app using gaussian splatting rendering. I want to see how good it looks, but I can't use it without a right-hand controller (it even says it supports hand tracking but EVIDENTLY NOT)! I just shipped that off to Meta today to get it...

The SWF should not have happened. It was done without the consent of thousands of admins and millions of users. The most fatal flaw was giving Meta a seat at the table. You've already lost our trust. Dissolve the SWF.

This isn't the biggest server, but it's a shame they had to make this decision, and that this was their experience. Fedi has miles to go. > My experience as a user on the Fediverse has gotten much worse over the past months too. The amount of casual misogyny from arrogant and condescending cis...

I think I'll use MOSS for custom emoji, too. So when you receive a message that has, say, `:woe_is_me@01921b52-14a6-7958-b454-8fd75a074e8f:`, if your client doesn't recognize the emoji set (the ID is the v7 UUID), then your client would send a MOSS Get with the custom emoji namespace and that...

It's so weird talking to lawyers about important court cases right now. In the past, you'd ask about a case and they'd be like "Aah yes, the doctrine of Bibbity Bobbitus first promulgated under the Smithers court in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram which pertained to the rights of ranchers to...

Dang, a couple of big #Matrix rooms I was in have been hit by CSAM spam attacks. It's deeply upsetting for a number of reasons, but one thing it makes very clear is that the moderation tools for Matrix, such as they are, are simply unequipped for the task of safety for large public spaces.

I think we #cybersecurity folks can vastly underestimate how effective a phone number prompt can be as a phishing/scam vector. And it is not addressed nearly enough in most "awareness" training. 📎

Hey friends! Upgrading to iOS 18 and excited to see RCS messaging? That's cool but please remember that those messages _are still not encrypted_! Now would be a great time to convince your friends to move to a properly secure chat app, like Signal! https://signal.org (Also maybe donate)

This just in: tools to avoid responsibility for making decisions really just bake in bias and make injustice more difficult to interrogate. It’s exactly the same with other forms of unaccountable decision-laundering and unsubstantiable suspicion....
