A few months ago I warned that falling space junk could collide with an airliner in flight:

Now @arstechnica reports that a plane just got hit:

macOS Tahoe UI has a HUGE new feature for folks like me who have 24/7 Mac Minis running and access them remotely: you can now type the boot password remotely via SSH!
Power on the Mac, then SSH to it. A simple SSH server will handle your request. Typing the password there is equivalent to typing it on the keyboard. The connection then closes and the machine boots normally.
Combine this with "Start up automatically after a power failure" and you can ditch that KVM! #macadmins

And I think it was because 10 years ago I tried Beginners Guide. I didn't understand it fully, lots of plot points went past me. But its stuck regardless. Deep under my skin it changed me as a person. Without it me wouldn't be me. Everything I like today is thanks to this less than 2 hours game
It didn't resonate with me. I didn't have a relationship like the one in the story. I didnt struggle creatively. It's not a game for me
But it's a my game now. Without it me wouldn't be me
Thanks, Davey

Sometimes you figure out something about yourself many years later. Back in middle school I played racing games and GTA. I didn't care much about movies or books
Today my most beloved games are The Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium and The Beginners Guide
I still play ETS2, Forza, GTA and love Snowrunner. But they are different
Aaron Swartz was a digital rights champion who believed deeply in keeping the internet open. His life was cut short in 2013, after federal prosecutors charged him under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) for systematically downloading academic journal articles from the online database JSTOR....
