Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn’t ‘sustainable’

Some Google Calendar users are angrily calling the company out after noticing that certain events like Pride month are no longer highlighted by default. Black History Month, Indigenous People Month, Jewish Heritage, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and Hispanic Heritage have also been removed

Google, "Some years ago, the Calendar team started manually adding a broader set of cultural moments in a wide number of countries around the world. We got feedback that some other events and countries were missing — and maintaining hundreds of moments manually and consistently globally wasn’t scalable or sustainable..."

...Their team can't manage it. Smdh. Please. Come up with something better than that.

This piece is excellent. Via TJ, who I won’t tag on this to save them from having to read any replies.

At MacStories, we won't stand for Meta's dehumanizing, harmful moderation practices.

Fuck them and everyone who builds their business upon a semblance of "free speech" to ostracize minorities and all kinds of humans.

For this reason, we're leaving Threads and Instagram behind.

You can read about our decision here, and find some links to support different organizations today: https://www.macstories.net/stories/macstories-wont-stand-for-metas-dehumanizing-and-harmful-moderation-policies/

Had an hour before going to a show last night so I slapped some electronics on a hat. I'm heckin stoked on the effect.

Interestingly, I have to place my 18650 battery at the front inside of the hat because the halo tilt doesn't allow for it at the back. *Gestures at physics*

I'm using a Pixelblaze LED controller from @wizard (wirelessly controlled on my iPad), and micro COB LEDs that are in my LED guide:

Using Map in SwiftUI is easy. Unfortunately it lacks some nice features like clustering of map markers. I created an implementation for my use and describe it here.
