Saw a rabbit on my Sunday run that was definitely less than 10 cm nose to tail and I thought of this:

And since we're at it let's shame Google for putting 20 thousand variables in a single function. Bad Google, no cookie.

Well no cookie anyway since Firefox has total cookie protection!

This reflects my feelings.
“Titan and Adriana are two vessels recently lost at sea, four days and 4,000 miles apart. The five men who lost their lives on the Titan have been getting wall-to-wall coverage in the media worldwide. Meanwhile, the estimated 700 who died when the Adriana sank off the coast of Greece, mostly women and children, have been essentially forgotten.”

People act like Gmail came in and afterwards there were no more email providers. Did a lot of people use it? Yes. Did it somehow kill off all off the small email providers? No. Some of them? Sure. All? No.

Why did I switch from Gmail to Proton? Because I stopped trusting Gmail. And felt that I could trust Proton more. Can I still email someone that uses Gmail? Yes. Do I have to support Gmail? No.

The purpose of an open protocol is choice. Otherwise why bother making it open?

Musk's Saudi-government-funded "free speech" Twitter now considers "cis" a slur that can be punished by suspension of the account.

Just a reminder that journalists are directly supporting his extremism by pouring their work into his site. And advertisers (including some media companies) are even more directly supporting his extremism.

I have my own hypocrisies, but helping Musk poison our public discourse is not one of them.

Usually I tell people I study Kuiper Belt Objects, because that name is more easily recognized by the general public. But today I have learned that I can make *Those People* cringe just by saying the more proper name.
