Please enjoy @pluralistic Cory Doctorow's fantastic presentation on taking back the internet from last month at #DEFCON32. Cory's takes are always thoughtful, provocative and it was his deshittification concept that helped inspire the DC32 theme. More videos from #defcon coming soon. As always, pass it on.

Six years ago I tried to list the biggest #curl installations.
Today all of them are much larger.
I know Unity bundled curl ~6 years ago, and as far as I can tell it's still there (judging by the amount of "curl error"s thrown by UnityWebRequest that people complain about).
Unity's fallen out of favour lately, but I'd wager it has at least a few billion historical installations on mobile alone
I love Malaysia. I also resent it.

🎑 中秋節快樂 🥮
추석 잘 보내세요
Chúc Tết Trung thu
The 15th day of the 8th month in the Chinese lunisolar calendar marks the #MidAutumnFestival, when families from East Asia gather to enjoy gazing at the full moon 🌕. This year, it falls on September 17.
While the #MoonCake is a shared tradition among many East Asian cultures, others like barbecue and pomelo is unique to #Taiwan.

We've already had two external contributions to Thunderbird Appointment after just a short time of the repo being public (also already 178 stars)!
Written in Python, we'd love to have more contributions. Come and join us. Jump in - the water's fine!
Yeah, #Boeing employees are on strike in union plants (non-union ones are still working).
However, what is interesting is that Boeing’s quality issues started around 1997 after an acquisition/merger with a problematic company. Great article by @NPR!

As I have abandoned Android and am now daily-driving Gnome mobile / PostmarketOS on my OnePlus 6, I feel the urge to contribute to filling the app gap. Nobody seems to have asked for an app to record push ups and track progress, but that's what I want to accomplish now. Here are some first impressions of my Libadwaita app, which I call "Pushup Sessions":

It appears that Mozilla's recruiting marketing is finally acknowledging the demographic that really runs the internet.

@brainblasted The only thing that looks off to me is the index finger. Is that a fingernail or a toepad?

"[...]it turns out, we want computers that go with us everywhere. That’s the iPhone, [...]"
Not it's not. Because the iPhone can't be used as a computer. It's just an app runner where the applications are "curated".
(Android isn't better either).
Shout out to AccessNow folks and @Xeniax who helped to convince Meta to unblock #deltachat invite URLs in Facebook. Previously delta invite-links on Facebook were marked as "dangerous" and didn't work.
sidenote: if you send someone an invite-link, they can click it directly after they installed Delta Chat because they will be guided through the "create-profile" flow automatically and then be dropped into a chat with the inviter.

The push for an "age verification" requirement on the Internet is 1% aimed at protecting children and 99% aimed at controlling speech. It effectively bans anonymity, for starters.
It is a license to speak, and read.

Van Aubel's theorem states that if you start with a convex quadrilateral and construct a square on each side, externally to the quadrilateral, then the line segments connecting the centers of opposite squares will be equal in length and perpendicular to each other.
Aaron Swartz, a hacker in the original sense, having helped develop RSS and Creative Commons, downloaded academic articles he had permission to access, and the DOJ hounded him.
Sam Altman, who failed upward to where he is, is performing copyright infringement at scale and seen as a revolutionary innovator.
