I am serious about what I do, just not necessarily the way I do it.

#framework announcement felt underwhelming compared to the amount of hype they were generating.

The new features of the 13 pro actually are discouraging me switching my computer setup to the Framework 12 since new Intel hardware seems like it will be much better for that form-factor.

For a company their size it makes sense that they can’t update too much of their hardware at once. I just wish they would manage the hype, felt a little distasteful to me.

I understand but lament the choice so many thoughtful people have made to publish their newsletters on the odious Substack. Surely they recognize that they are, at least indirectly, helping some of the worst people in the world spread and monetize malignant views.

When U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, he canceled a first-of-its-kind assessment of the health of nature. The researchers compiled it on their own and have released an 868-page draft for public comment and scientific review. Here's the @newyorktimes story about the Nature Record [gift link]. At the second link, find the draft itself.

Nature Report, Killed by Trump, Is Released Independently

A draft assessment of the health of nature in the United States is grim but shot through with bright spots and possibility.

Not sure where #Google asked for feedback about their developer verification program, but they surely didn't talk with #FLOSS devs, civil society, privacy organisations or their #Android users

#FDroid did since September, and interacted with folks in the Fediverse, forum, email and in person

They all voiced one opinion: "developer verification must be stopped"

@marcprux has written an open letter, signed by likeminded organisations who want to #keepandroidopen

Finally finished Indiana Jones and the Great Circle so I can complete my primary objective of watching the final part of Noclip’s MachineGames documentary.

Yeah, trying to replace the military industrial complex with an espionage industrial complex, slong with overseeing continued white flight and urban decay. No lasting repercussions there.

This image is from January 1st 2025 and, in my opinion, has remained unbeaten as the most iconic photo of the year.

If you think of a better candidate for photo of the year, please share it in the comments!

@daringfireball There's a lot of coping going on here. Cook has kissed the ring several times now. The app was removed under the public pretense of "safety risks." Gruber even alludes to #Apple kissing Trump's ass.

Our tyrannical government has no need to formally request the removal because Apple and the people who run it are already compliant with fascism.

Gruber thinks there's a line somewhere, but all I see is a willing submission to evil. If someone is telling you who they are, listen.

Looky here, America
What you done done---
Let things drift
Until the riots come.

Now your policemen
Let your mobs run free.
I reckon you don't care
Nothing about me.

You tell me that Hitler
Is a mighty bad man.
I guess he took lessons
From the Ku Klux Klan.

You tell me Mussolini's
Got an evil heart.
Well, it mus-a been in Beaumont
That he had his start---

Cause everything that Hitler
And Mussolini do,
Negroes get the same
Treatment from you.

You jim crowed me
Before Hitler rose to power---
And you're STILL jim crowing me
Right now, this very hour

Yet you say we're fighting
For democracy.
Then why don't democracy
Include me?

I ask you this question
Cause I want to know
How long I got to fight
BOTH HITLER---AND JIM CROW.
