It is awesome so many people are enjoying Zombowl. I like helping people get into the Halloween spirit. As Type O Negative says, "Every day is Halloween."
The Toby Doom Operation MDK Walk Through iw now available on Youtube. I will start on the walk through for the Deluxe Map Pack soon. Some things have change a bit now that Toby Doom version 7.5 is out.
I found a great, brief resource on creating accessible web pages and documents. It only highlights most common accessibility issues, so it's much less overwhelming than the WCAG. I think it's a great resource for people who don't know where to start! Also it has before and after examples, so it's great to demo with a screen reader as well! #accessibilitywashington.edu/accesscomputing…
Greta Thunberg joined our United for Climate Justice coalition today and our blockade of a busy Brussels' street. This disruption of traffic and of business as usual is nothing in comparison to what the climate catastrophe will wreak. We need urgent action now, but we're still rushing headlong into a terrifying future, all for the sake of greed and growth.
Getting an appointment for a new Texas state ID involves logging onto a website at 7:55 AM and crossing your fingers that it will load while every other person that needs an appointment hammers it at the same time. Same-day appointments are usually gone within 60 to 80 seconds of that time. We even have tools that people have made to deal with this like: github.com/phamleduy04/texas-d…
2 Monate Fahrverbot und 150 Tagessätze für den Todesfahrer von Andreas Mandalka. Das erscheint manchen wenig, die Geldstrafe ist aber fast ein halbes Jahreseinkommen. Nichts kann ein Menschenleben aufwiegen.

If you are like me, you often need to type or copy and paste things over and over again. For example, I have a couple Zoom meetings I host. Even though I email the Zoom info to people, there is always somebody who calls me or emails me and asks for the Zoom info again. This used to be annoying, until I found out about the text substitution feature of Microsoft Word and Outlook. Note, I do not know if this feature works in the new version of Outlook. I have only tried this in Outlook Classic. The way this works is that whatever text you need to put in a Outlook email or Word document often, you create what Word or Outlook calls a building block with the text. As an example, I created a building block with my personal zoom room and called it pz. To do this, I did the following:
I started a new email in Outlook.
I copied the Zoom info from Zoom into the email.
I selected all of the text containing the Zoom info.
I pressed Alt F3.
A box came up asking me for the name of the building block. I typed pz. You can type whatever word or phrase you want.
I pressed Enter.
Now, whenever I need to put this info into an email, I type pz followed by F3. Just like that, my Zoom info is in the body of the email.
Makes sense. This is not yall's problem to solve. Salt devs are clearly shooting themselves in the foot with these decisions. I suspect similar decisions will be made by other distros.
We’ve been warning about this for literally three decades, ever since CALEA mandated wiretap-ready telecom infrastructure. And this is merely the latest example of how these dangerous interfaces can be turned against us by our adversaries. mastodon.social/@fj/1132537261…
Exploits of "lawful access" interfaces, such as the Chinese attack reported today by the WSJ, appeared almost immediately after they became standardized in the 90's. The most famous example is the case known as "the Athens Affair" spectrum.ieee.org/the-athens-a… .
The Athens Affair is interesting for a number of reasons, but it's particularly notable that the switch that was compromised didn't actually have the CALEA option installed from the factory (since it wasn't then required in Greece). But it was added through a software update (induced by the attacker), and then exploited.
Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't note that all the reasons that "lawful access" features in telecom infrastructure are risky apply at least equally to the periodically revived proposals for "key escrow" backdoors in cryptographic systems. Fortunately, we've mostly held back the tide on those, but they come up every few years. It would be a security disaster if they're ever mandated.
Mandated wiretap interfaces and cryptographic backdoors are *expensive*, both in terms of money and, more importantly, exposure to risk. Worse, those burdens are borne inequitably.
Overall, almost no one is the subject of a lawful wiretap, even in places where wiretapping is an important investigative tool. Most people aren't suspects. But these mandates degrade security (and impose other costs) for *everyone*, the vast majority of whom will never be wiretapped.
Pues la he vuelto a escuchar, y como siempre me ha hecho llorar. Qué terible brutalidad, y qué sentimiento pone esta chica... bueno, ya abuela supongo. Hasta se le quiebra la voz cuando lo cuenta.
Mozilla's CEO doubles down on them being an advertising company now.
tl;dr: "LOL get fucked"
They've decided who their customers are, and it's not you, it's people who build and invest in surveillance advertising networks. But in a "respectful" way.... jwz.org/b/ykaO
Fortsetzung des Abwassermonitoring, insbesondere, aber nicht nur, für #sarscov2 #COVID19 - bitte hier unterschreiben, das ist eine der letzten Metriken, die wir überhaupt noch haben.
While Heinlein had a valid point in this authorial insert, he tiptoed around his own cognitive biases: if entertainers and athletes were inappropriate, WHO did he think deserved to be taken seriously? And why are entertainers and athletes disqualified? Consider President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, or President Vaclav Havel of Czecheslovakia—a comedian on one hand and a satirist on the other, both went on to be statesmen.
Asimov was a bit more accurate: "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
2/ Nobody is unidimensional, and merely excelling in popular entertainment doesn't mean one is incompetent in others. (Random example: Rosi Sexton, a Cambridge University maths PhD with a career as a mixed martial arts fighter and Green Party politician.)
The deficiency Heinlein was railing about didn't lie in the people he was talking about: it lay in the corporate entertainment media environment, and the capitalist system that focused it on delivering eyeballs to advertisers.
3/ Footnote: "To Sail Beyond the Sunset", Heinlein's last novel, was published posthumously and the opinions in it reflect the end of his political journey—from socialist-proximate in the 1930s to Reaganite libertarian-conservative in the late 1980s, an environment in which neoliberalism seemed to have won, or be on the edge of winning, the argument over how best to structure a society. It's the period when Francis Fukuyama was assembling the epically wrong "The End of History and the Last Man".
I'm amused even Heinlein drew a line on organ trade in The Cat Who Walked through Walls:
As for the foot itself, by invariant local custom "spare parts" (hands and feet and hearts and kidneys, etc.) were not bought or sold; there was only a service and handling charge billed with the cost of surgery. Galahad confirmed this. "We do it that way to avoid a black market. I could show you planets where there is indeed a black market, where a matching liver might mean a matching murder--but not here. Lazarus himself set up this rule, more than a century ago. We buy and sell everything else... but we don't traffic in human beings or pieces of human beings."
