Delivering the final talk at the last ever XOXO was a huge responsibility, a tremendous honor, and an absolute joy.
I'm so stoked that now you can watch the video of me explaining why nothing lasts, and why this gives me hope we can create moments that'll help change the world and save each other.
So, the ham radio folks who have been telling me there will be no fallout from Israel using exploding (fake/counterfeit) Icoms
Flightaware: "Dubai's Emirates Airlines has banned passengers from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on its flights, following last month's attacks on Lebanese group Hezbollah involving communication devices that exploded."
this, despite the many (god, so many) pronunciation mistakes, is a masterpiece. I recommend that all who consider themselves allies to Jews and Palestinians watch this video essay (or even better, read the sources that were used to write it. but watching it is shorter).

The latest edition of This Week in Matrix is out! Policy lists for the community bot, aaaaaallllll the spec versions for the Elm SDK and improvements on the Neoboard widget.
Either way: yes, malicious browser extensions can still do considerable damage, even with Manifest V3. No amount of technical improvements is going to change that: as long as extensions can do something useful, they will also be able to turn rogue.
Manifest V3 implemented some rather effective measures to prevent legitimate extensions from being exploited. It also to some degree made it easier to inspect extensions and identify problematic use of browser APIs.
But, and I doubt that it comes as much of a surprise, it’s still very bad to have malicious extensions installed. No real changes here.
And this is what I have been trying to warn people against since I worked at the FTC. While this AI stuff can be useful, people need to be aware of what others will use it for.
Should we have the same standard for everyone's behavior in a volunteer group? In particular, when we're evaluating and addressing destructive behavior, should we apply two different standards? One if they're a "known quantity" and one if they're not?
My answer is: yes, sort of. Not so much for *assessing* the behavior. But I suggest different approaches in how we react to it as we work on repair.

If your home timeline is way too full, you could try using Mastodon's "Lists" feature. This lets you put selected accounts into their own themed mini-timelines and hide them from your Home timeline. You can then browse these Lists when you want, like channels on a TV.
For example you could put all your sports news follows into their own List, and then view your sports List when you want sports news.

If I was a BDFL running a prominent FOSS project, I would take steps right now to structurally protect the organization from my own decision-making. <-- I'm not a BDFL of anything but this is truth tedium.co/2024/10/03/wordpress…
Gave a talk last night on technology and election security at the Linda Hall science library in Kansas City. I got there early and they let me spend an amazing afternoon with their rare books. Here’s the book that got Galileo in trouble with the Inquisition, complete with a handwritten correction (“semi” in margin) by the author.
I’m not generally given to fetishizing “rare” “original” objects, but touching a manuscript that came directly from freaking *Galileo* was indescribably magical for me. I felt a direct connection to 400 years of science and troublemaking right at my fingertips.

The Open Collective Platform is moving to a community governed non-profit!
A group of fiscal hosts representing thousands of collectives have created a new independent, community-governed, non-profit organization and have reached an agreement with Open Collective Inc. to take over the Open Collective platform as it exists today.
Discussion of sharing of nonconsensual nude imagery
Sensitive content
@benny iirc: the dmca forwards the claim to the uploader. If they don't appeal within a short timeframe (1 day? Or 1 week?), then the content is removed automatically.
That's what I run, and while "works for me" is not a general recommendation, I would argue that the upcoming release is the time to dip one's toe in, now that it will have proper audio support, among other missing features until now.
I fondly remember him saying you shouldn't bother people to do image descriptions because sometimes he's busy and he can't be bothered so he sympathizes with people who don't want to face any consequences for being inaccessible.
I remember that too and tried to find it but couldn't! I seriously need to just make a text file and call it website boy and just fill it up with these kinds of things, tell us how you *really feel* kind of interactions that really show he, website boy, just tolerates us at best but we're a part of his audience now and he wants growth. @bright_helpings @aardrian
Liebe Falschparker, ihr müsst jetzt sehr tapfer sein. Das Bundesverwaltungsgericht hat höchstrichterlich festgestellt: "Das Interesse der parkenden Verkehrsteilnehmer an einer ungehinderten Fortsetzung ihres rechtswidrigen Verhaltens ist nicht schutzwürdig."
Auch euer gerne angeführtes "Gewohnheitsrecht" gibt es weiterhin nicht: "ein ‚Gewohnheitsrecht‘ auf Gehwegparken wird dadurch nicht begründet"
