Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of decentralized blockchain Ethereum, has issued a warning to his fellow tech leaders against choosing a candidate purely based on whether they claim to be “pro-crypto.”

While he didn’t name any candidate specifically, his warning comes just one day after prominent venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz announced their support for Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

“In a blog post, Buterin said it’s more important to scrutinize a candidate’s broader policies to ensure they support cryptocurrency’s underlying goals, including internationalism and protection for private communications,” reports @Techcrunch. Here’s more.

Ah joy ... Google is turning off its URL shortener and breaking every link that ever used it:

developers.googleblog.com/en/g…

A quick search on lore.kernel.org:

lore.kernel.org/all/?q=goo.gl%…

...turns up about 19,000 messages with affected links. That's a lot of history that is going to become harder (or impossible) to find.


Google URL Shortener links will no longer be available

CQ Blind Hams is "the" source for #amateur radio content for #blind people in the English-speaking world. That's why I think it would be great if you could subscribe to the channel. They could monetize the thing with 1000 or more followers, which they then want to use to finance radio equipment for blind #Hams. I think it's a cool thing, I support it. Range boosts welcome. youtube.com/@cqblindhams?si=JZ…

With many people getting COVID from the summer surge, a reminder that the CDC's isolation guidelines are inadequate.

CDC shortened their isolation guidelines, not because of a change in the science, but in response to political pressure to keep people working even if they are sick.

Science shows most people are infectious for 10+ days; it's best to isolate until you test negative on multiple tests. If you can't stay home the whole time, wear an N95 mask to stop the virus spreading to others.

Infographic with chart of COVID infectiousness time Text: How Long Are You Contagious With COVID-19? Studies suggest: • Most people are infectious for ~10 days • ~80% of people test positive for 5 days after symptom onset • Only ~30% of people who test positive have a fever • Presence of symptoms is an unreliable indicator of infectiousness • Individuals can be infectious before the onset of symptoms • Asymptomatic cases represent at least 20 to 40% of all infections

Would you believe it's been a whole year since I published the final version of my content, consent, and safety toolbox for tabletop roleplaying games (and other purposes), the Script Change RPG Toolbox?

Did you know that it remains Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution licensed, free to download with an option to donate, filled with a variety of tools and new resources for play, and supplemented by emojis for Discord and both playing & tarot cards?

Series D, Episode 01 - Rescue

CALLY: [V.O. scream] Blake.
[Space. Exterior. A freight ship called Scorpio is in flight. Scorpio interior: flight deck. A blonde man is the only occupant of the flight deck. His name is Dorian. He bends over to check something on the ship's instruments. Finished, he moves around the flight deck.]

ChatGPT4 describes the image as: "The image captures a huge explosion with a large fireball, likely from a significant detonation or blast, towering into the sky. The fireball is a bright, intense yellow/orange color, and the lighting suggests that the explosion has created a lot of energy, heat, and force. The explosion appears to be occurring outdoors. In the foreground, there are two leafless trees, which indicates that the event might be happening during autumn or winter. Their stark, bare branches create a somber, almost foreboding contrast to the fiery chaos behind them. There is no clear indication of what caused the explosion or the exact location, but the dramatic nature suggests it could be from an accident such as a gas explosion, an industrial disaster, or even something intentional like a bomb. The setting, with bare trees and an overwhelming blaze, hints at a severe and destructive event." Blakes7Bot, version 3.6.8.

Miss Behave

seriously, what is this? you could put ressource into the development of a newer and better version of the #librem5 , or design a linux-tablet from scratch (with hardware-kill-switches, unlike the #librem11 ) or a linux-smartwatch (with better specs than the already nice #pinetime ) or - if you wanna go crazy - design an open-source car etc... at least something useful in daily life, which is not creepy😐

@robin_kipp @alexhall Like I said, it isn’t perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than it was. I would suggest installing it on a virtual machine first just to take a look at the user interface before you upgrade your production machine. And obviously if anyone finds any huge issues that I missed, file an issue.

Reminder: It’s okay not to have a take.

"The truth is that most events ultimately don’t matter. They pass away like clouds, here today, gone tomorrow without leaving a trace. Even more so, most world events aren’t actionable, in the sense that knowing about them doesn’t make any tangible difference to what you do or how you lead your life.

When you never withdraw from the stream of distraction, when you never allow yourself quiet time, the result is anxiety, depression and chronic stress. These aren’t inevitable responses to a broken world. They’re the symptoms of a brain that’s always on red alert, that never gets to relax or be calm or rest."
