Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

ETA: GOOD NEWS!

In reading an important discussion of the IP assignment in the new Mastodon.social ToS:

github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

I was GOBSMACKED to discover the new ToS has a "binding arbitration waiver," which takes away your right to sue, no matter how badly the service abuses you.

These are profoundly unethical, terrible clauses. They should never, ever appear in "adhesion contracts" (that is, contracts that you merely click through, rather than negotiating.)

I've just committed a new manual page to : tracing(7), an introduction to and facilities.

It'll take a moment before it is available for readers on man.freebsd.org, so for the time being you can grab a copy from here (cgit.freebsd.org/src/plain/sha) and open it with man(1).

🇸🇪 Sweden approves a historic boost in defense spending to meet NATO’s 3.5% GDP goal, partially funded by public borrowing. Importantly, aid to Ukraine will remain fully funded, outside of the new debt cap, ensuring continued support.

Say goodbye to 1.5°C. But remember, the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting.

Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

Watching lots of people learn why you don't buy cloud tied equipment. Ecoflow has a cloud outage and everyone is discovering their UPS, aircon, emergency batteries and the like are no longer functional.

Now maybe they'll understand what will happen if the vendor goes bust or China/Taiwan kicks off or Trump and Xi have a pissing contest.

Random reminder: With the divided social media landscape, it has become harder to find people. It helps if you mention your social media accounts in your GitHub profile (if you have one…). You can see what that looks like for Mastodon here: github.com/rauschma/

HOMEWORK MACHINE

The Homework Machine, oh the Homework Machine
Most perfect contraption that's ever been seen. 
Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime,
Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds' time,
Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be.
Here it is — "nine plus four?" and the answer is "three."
Three?
Oh me ...
I guess it's not as perfect
As I thought it would be.
