One of my current pet peeves with "signing in" to basically anything these days is that I immediately get a message urging me to "stay logged in on this trusted device."

Now, I know in most cases that's mainly about tracking people around the Internet (especially if they use something like "sign in with Google" or "sign in with Facebook"), as well as gathering information about site users that can be sold/remarketed to others. It's just being presented as a "convenience," not a privacy invasion.

But my immediate gut response is always "What makes you think I trust this device?!"

I'm not seeing a good upgrade story right now for pkgbase FreeBSD 14.3 to 15.0. I have the compat14x installed and just want to upgrade the base, not my "ports" yet. This used to be a pretty common (for me anyway) practice if you had slower update schedules and you would be getting major package updates too. First make sure the base is solid, then start upgrading services.

When I try to force it to only work on the base repo it thinks it has to uninstall all the FreeBSD:14:amd64 packages?

I can work around it by just disabling the base repo and deleting its package database, do my normal manual upgrade method, then run the pkgbasify script to register the packages and move on. They should have major upgrades improved by the time 16.0 is ready.

So are we all gearing up to reconcile the "Epstein files" from the DOJ with already public information about Trump's schedule and activities?

As in, if they did a naive scrub of the files it won't match up with already public details.

You wouldn't ordinarily expect the DOJ to hide evidence from Congress or defy court orders but the Bondi DOJ is not your dad's DOJ.

Two Conservative MPs (Jeneroux, Stubbs) and two NDP MPs (Idlout, Johns) abstained from the #budget vote.

This, combined with the vote of Elizabeth May, allowed it to pass.

So #elxn46 will come another day.

Little Johnny overheard his friends talking about how adults have secrets they’re desperate to keep hidden, and how easy it was to manipulate them. Intrigued, Johnny decided to try it out himself.

When he got home, he walked up to his mom with a sly grin and said, “Mom, I know everything.”

His mom’s face went pale. She glanced around nervously, then leaned in, shushed him, and handed him $10. “Just don’t tell your father, okay?” she whispered.

Johnny’s eyes widened in amazement. This works! he thought.

An hour later, his dad came home from work. Johnny walked up to him confidently and said, “Dad, I know everything.”

His dad’s expression froze, and he quickly pulled out his wallet. Handing Johnny $100, he said in a low voice, “Let’s keep this between us, alright? Don’t tell your mom.”

Johnny could hardly contain his excitement. This is incredible!

A little while later, there was a knock at the door. Johnny opened it to see the mailman standing there. With a mischievous grin, Johnny said, “I know everything.”

The mailman’s face turned ghostly white. His jaw dropped, and his eyes filled with tears. After a long pause, he said, “Well… if you know everything, Johnny, come give your real dad a hug.”

I wrote a brief piece about Alice Wong’s passing away over the weekend. It's an honor to think she appreciated my work, and the disability community will miss her.

I upgraded an app from using #Gradle 8.13 to version 9.2.1. Not because I wanted to, I dread upgrading Gradle, but because I needed it to work with Java 25.

Predictably, my build definition (`build.gradle.kts`) broke, with some deprecated APIs being removed. This isn't some coincidence, Gradle's APIs get deprecated all the time, nothing's safe.

I don't think I have ever upgraded Gradle without noticing source compatibility breakage. I can't think of any other API I've used that's worse.
