open source software developers are getting fed up and are finally recognizing that they can just fucking leave.

• the owner of nvim-treesitter gets a really shitty comment from a user saying that the update to a required version broke their workflow
• the owner replies saying "hey just pin what you need instead of mainlining it if you need this for an older version"
• the shitty user replies back saying "go switch to something that doesn't require interacting with people"
• the owner says "OK." and ARCHIVES THE REPO

like, holy shit, what a power move.

When people keep advising victims not to pay ransom because threat actors can't be trusted to really delete all the data, my inner researcher kicks in and wants to know how often that really happens.

So I started sending out inquiries.

Now you might think that those who publicly and repeatedly urge journalists to "spread the word" not to pay would respond and share some of their experiences with untrustworthy threat actors, but no..... they didn't even respond.

Read about the replies I did get, because they really surprised me.

I have no doubt that some professionals will hate what I have reported, but then, perhaps they should have responded, too, if they think differently.

How often do threat actors default on promises to delete data?

This morning's science-experiment-gone-wrong

Had some hard boiled eggs which were not boiled long enough (dyed for Easter).

Decided I did not like soft boiled eggs

Cracked the egg, and put it in the microwave for a minute

Looked fine. Took it back to the table, started to peel it... moments later, EGG EXPLOSION EVERYWHERE. EGG ACROSS KITCHEN.EGG IN HAIR. EGG ON FACE. EGG ON WALL. EGG ON CEILING.

(that is all)

It's no secret that I've been struggling, and my therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard.

I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.

Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.

Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.

Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.

Hey fellow Pennsylvanians, the state has a program where you can get five free native trees or shrubs for replacing species deemed to be invasive in the state.
