Unsafe for work

Before we start, have a look at this image. It is from a German book from the early Nineties, and it features some very interesting cover artwork. A knight with a cape and a big bushy mustache rides a friendly green dragon.

I use Windows Magnifier a lot though when I use it I don't need speech tracking. Someone was discussing this on the TAVIP list the other day and that got me thinking. Are there any free magnifiers out there that allow some speech feedback like what we get with Lunar/ZoomText?

I have now configured my mail server to provide an MTA-STS policy for inbound message encryption. I already had DANE set up, but some providers only use MTA-STS.
The only real difficulty I encountered was that my SMTP server needed to present the entire certificate chain to mail senders; otherwise, some of them (Google, at least) would fail to verify the certificate.

Y'all know Jack Dorsey isn't involved with BlueSky and hasn't been for a long time right? Like that's the one bit of weird misinformation people seem to be fixated on. He left when they refused to leave the platform unmoderated. Since then, they've implemented a bunch of moderation tools, frankly tools that are better than this platform has. I say that as someone who was a mod for a large instance.

Eugen has, and I mean this to be as insulting as it sounds, been a horrible steward of the project. There are reasons so many forks have popped up, and we have this weird split of instances that are partially compatible. So many of those projects started as pieces that could have easily been pulled into the main code base, but his refusal to consider anyone's ideas but his own made these fractures a reality.

This image shows an open book with the title The Tibetan Book of the Dead. The left page features an intricate illustration of Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche), a significant figure in Tibetan Buddhism, seated in a meditative posture amidst floral motifs. The right page lists the title in English and its alternate titles, along with information about its composition, translation, and editorial contributions. It states the text was composed by Padmasambhava, revealed by Terton Karma Lingpa, translated by Gyurme Dorje, and edited by Graham Coleman with Thupten Jinpa, with an introductory commentary by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The book focuses on teachings about the intermediate states (bardo) and liberation.

Since I saw a report about 1984 (because of a new audio version done for motherfucking Audible!) with the same talking points, here's the usual correction:

1984 is not a book about total surveillance. It's a book about how to ensure the middle class will never stand with the lower classes against power. It's about how to destroy solidarity. In 1984 only the middle class is surveilled, the lower classes (proles) and the upper class (inner party) are not. It's a book about power and class politics that is more relevant than ever - but not "because our phones surveil us".

Hi. The issue is that "turning a blind eye" to something doesn't mean that you can't see something. It means that you can actually see something, a thing that's usually harmful or problematic in some way, but you're deliberately choosing to ignore it and look the other way. It's the same reason why I dislike it when people similarly use the expression "a deaf ear" to things they'd rather not have to listen to.
