It’s my understanding nebula views are better than YouTube premium views and both are way better than YouTube with ads. But I have no hard data to back this, just hearsay.

UCS just released a very nice and concise guide for how to stay safe in the public eye -- for scholars and researchers, but also for anyone else concerned about safety during autocratization:

Developers aren’t ready to face the fact that they have been creating massive exploit piñatas for five decades. Now the bill comes due.

Christopher Penn @cspenn Just remember that given the abundance of neurodivergent people in science, it's far more likely that autism causes vaccines.

A different perspective.
Always helpful.

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

a sigil from the game fallen london which means "the vexing improbability which, nevertheless, is the result you got"

How do you turn a vast text game like Fallen London into a TTRPG?

We've spent a year working with @magpiegames.bsky.social to do exactly that.

In May, backers will get the first look at the full PDF of the game (and you can still back, actually).

What have we learned?

Also, pretty much the entire OSINT disarmament community. They track specific hardware very closely.

It can be done using the same strategies we use to review code written by human developers: good test suites, small PRs, software architectures that cleanly separate concerns to limit change amplification etc.

It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

This is literally the least Tuscan thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

Have a big number (or hex value) you found and think might be a timestamp? Drop it in `unfurl` in the terminal and see what comes out!

(add -d or --detailed if you want the type of timestamp, or run without it if you just want the value)

I bet they understand powerful white men destroying something because a black man has touched it. That something just happens to be the US presidency.

The extra gravity from the climb is like a three dimensional weighted blanket.

The foreshadowing in this show is really good. All major plot points are telegraphed repeatedly with decreasing subtlety. It really rewards paying close attention.

Fuck YouTube. I would rather my videos stay removed than edit them to cut out the word gambling. For years, my work was about how loot boxes were gambling, and I used the word because companies didn’t want the word used.

I’d sooner lose every video than destroy the point of them.

Fuck. YouTube.

While I’m 100% on board with this philosophy, I have had to unfollow a shocking number of auteurs in the last decade or so because they turned out to be rapists.

I still follow people who make stuff I like, but I have become very wary. And sad. And with slightly more trust issues than before.

How the fuck are you going to develop any kind of class consciousness if you refuse to engage with what class looks like TODAY?

All sorts of Lego minis would sell like hotcakes. I know people that 3d print accessories for their D&D character’s minifigs.

Lego is leaving a lot of money on the table here.
