Court documents show MN assassin Vance Boelter utilized multiple peoplesearch sites fueled by data brokers to profile his targets.

We can now add “political assassination/terrorism” to the list of results of poor privacy practices and the data broker industry.

Three good things today

1. Spent some time after work reviewing some old lists, and realised I've done more of the things in them than I had thought. It's easy to think you're always stuck if you never look back.

2. Used chervil for the first time, after picking it up at the market on Saturday (it's pretty rare here). Loved the soup I made.

3. Getting to bed soon, before midnight

"Palette cleanser" is turpentine, or maybe acetone. Depends on the paint.

"Pallet cleanser" is nothing, nobody cares if shipping material gets dirty.

"Palate cleanser" is probably what you meant to say.

New mastodon.social TOS are weird.

"You are prohibited to use, launch, develop, or distribute any automated system, including without limitation, any spider, robot, cheat utility, scraper, offline reader, or any data mining or similar data gathering extraction tools to access the Instance..."

Nice!

But then:

"You are prohibited to use or launch any unauthorized script or other software"

Uhm, this is problematic. Where is this list of "authorized" software to access this instance?

Happy Iceland Day 🇮🇸

kid's tech education is moving past where I can help with it. Wife wants me to help with the app he is making but I have no fucking idea how he made it or how to improve any of it, so I'm just getting him to show me and going "thats cool mate"

A question for the #retrocomputing #reverseengineering crowd: Is there any prior work on low-level details of how the 8051 CPU core functions? Down to gate/transistor level.

Did you know that David Zinn's little creatures even make waffles using the things they find on the pavement? I feel like I'd enjoy one this Sunday morning 🧇

@FunkyBob @trib @thewetmale @Kels_316 that's one of the first videos in the course, and never again do they present it like you're about to engage in a quicktime event. I was seriously wondering if I was supposed to have a controller plugged into something.

@mike @trib @thewetmale @Kels_316 all I can hear is the line from Robocop:

"You have ten seconds to comply!"

@Kels_316 @trib @thewetmale well to be fair I cut off the bit where it pans the other way and highlights a car, but that did make me laugh when I first saw it.

my suggestion is he runs a set of numbers for "reason for attending" against "delivery mode satisfaction" because that would be more interesting. The hypothesis being people there because work made them will be happier with the shorter sessions.

There once was a girl from Purdue

She taught it to speak

biggest wtf of the Titan submersible documentary so far: they were using non temperature controlled soldering irons. oh yeah and leaded solder but that was probably ok.

I suppose having RunCommand use `django.core.management.call_command` to invoke `loaddata` would be the cleanest and most straight forward solution?

I've asked so many people what LGBTQ stands for.

So far no one has given me a straight answer ...

The Resistance in WW2 operated in great secrecy by people who appeared to be collaborating fully with the Nazis.

Citroen made trucks for the Nazis.
They didn't have much choice about that.
So they made the dipsticks a little too long, so they would read "plenty of oil" when they should have read "add lots of oil right now".
Needless to say, these trucks broke down a lot.
