If I were a teacher, I'd allow music during tests because I understand that for many, its a coping mechanism, and focussing for me is like trying to retain info through a leaking bucket.
in reply to Nick's world

I would have, if it weren't disallowed during nationals.
Providing my students their best environment for my own stuff is one thing, but they also need to learn to work in whatever environment they'll be tested in, even when it's not what they'd want.
in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo agreed, even though I'm not a teacher. I also agree to using a locked exam account without spell check as well.
in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo Fair enough. It's how I was tested, no music, no nothing, except extra time and a separate room.


I typed "worpdress" and I find that quite entertaining.

Wouldn't that only be a problem if you didn't redirect to the actual site? Given that typo-squatters do that all the time, you'd displace one.

Little late on my routine deep dive into GNOME Wallpapers. 47 has been pretty intense, even though the default changes are almost invisible.

@Marco Thank you for the info. I didn’t know this before. It appears that Apple changed some things. I will look into it.
in reply to Mona app

Thank you! Feel free to push to beta and ask for feedback, I have both the App Store and beta versions installed and can compare.

New essay: "Along came passkeys. A cool idea that quickly turned evil."

Why I think it's time to start using Passkeys, finally.

I'm not convinced by the part about magic links being user-hostile, misguided, and making you yearn for passwords. Magic links are still the most foolproof solution I know.
in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt That’s a fair opinion. But every time I use them I have to:

1. Wait 15 seconds for an email
2. Have access to my email
3. Worry whether they get lost in spam
4. Add friction
5. Make that destination (email or text) a single point of failure for full access to everything you own (though with resets it’s not too far from it)

See keepersecurity.com/blog/2024/0… “Are magic links secure?”

in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt I can attest to this user experience personally and anecdotally. The friction really bothers people.


Reading about world-systems theory, wherein the capitalist world is divided into core and periphery regions. The core has the higher-skilled, capital-intensive industries and the periphery is essentially a producer of raw materials in service to the core. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World-sy…)

It's reinforced by the work of folks like Walter Rodney (author of How Europe Underdeveloped Africa) and Frantz Fanon (author of The Wretched of the Earth).

It's also seems to be reproduced on the city/country scale.



GREAT change is approaching. NIST will standardise prohibition of requirement of composing passwords from various character styles, and requirement for periodic password changes. These are harmful and obsolete rules. Now they will be treated as a cybersecurity weakness pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp800-…


To my last boost. Please boost this for wide spread. This is an opportunity for #braille dice sets to enter the realm of #mainstream and mass manufacturing. I haven't been able to read of full set of #dice as a #TTRPG player in 20 years since I went #blind. It would be beautiful for something like this to be added to life and make me feel like I'm right up there with everyone else. Thank you!

Just going to add the link directly here as well.

Hey everyone! 🎲✨

I’m super excited to share that they hit their goal for the TTRPGs for Accessible Gaming Charity Bundle! Because of your amazing support, DOTS RPG Project can now team up with Die Hard Dice to create awesome braille dice for the visually impaired and blind community.

This is such a big win for making tabletop gaming more inclusive, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m really looking forward to snagging a set of these dice myself! I'm not in anyway involved other than a supporter but you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this.

This is just my personal huge thanks to everyone who chipped in and helped spread the word. You all rock! 🌟🙌

"Mimochodom, Robert Fico začal účet za obžerstvo dvanástich rokov vlád Smeru a tri roky gamblerstva Igora Matoviča vyčísľovať aj v slovenských korunách, čo neznie dobre. Jeho volič si nevie predstaviť ani miliardu, nieto tridsať, nedá sa to vyložiť na stolík v keši, sú to iba dve čísla, ktoré znamenajú veľa a veľa veľa. Dúfajme, že vodca nezačal trénovať predstavivosť svojho voliča na niečo, čo nám dnes pripadá nepredstaviteľné."

p.s.: Ak by sme tvorili kroniku vladnutia v SR cisto iba pridavanim slov a hesiel (za dnes napr. "nalepky na pocitaci"), aj tak by sme produkovali "tony textu" pricom vyrazy typu "blahobyt", "stastie", "nadej", "spravodlivost" ci "uzitocny pocin" by sme tam hladali marne.




I don’t usually post The Onion because normally, 80% of the joke is in the headline. This one is working extra hard: theonion.com/amazon-update-say…

I ordered something once, 2 weeks later it had been delayed 3 times. And cancelling the ~$800 order was hard. It works, but when it doesn't it's a nightmare.

New blog post: Post-OCSP certificate revocation in the Web PKI.

With OCSP in all forms going away, I decided to look at the history and possible futures of certificate revocation in the Web PKI. I also threw in some of my own proposals to work alongside existing ones.

I think this is the most comprehensive current look at certificate revocation right now.

Our NOAA weather Radio hourly reports started with the following.
"at 8 AM, at Pittsburgh International Airport, a thunderstorm was reported."
my question is, was it reported for being too loud? happy Wednesday.


So like

Protesting "the wrong way" is bad

Protesting "the right way" gets ignored

I think some folks just don't want protests of any kind tbh
