Chris SiebenmannI like the USCSB accident videos. But they all start with a standard introduction using a bald eagle making a "bald eagle" call. Once upon a time I didn't think twice of it, but thanks to the Fediverse, I now can hear that the actual call being used is a red-tailed hawk's call, as is almost always the case outside of nature documentaries (bald eagles have unimpressive, not particularly majestic calls). Sorry, USCSB, it's not you but it is you and all your sister agencies who have to do that.
Glyph@cassidy "stale" is also a non-actionable category. There are two distinct states here: one is "the project is overwhelmed, and nobody can respond". The other is "the project requires more information from the reporter, and the issue is incomplete and cannot be actioned otherwise". These require *opposite* remedies! If the project is overwhelmed, everyone needs to be quiet. If the report is incomplete, everyone needs to chime in. Close-as-stale bots are worse than useless!
Daniel AppelquistA web browser should *NEVER* be able to look inside your clipboard without an explicit user action (such as ctrl-v). Honestly, this should not be a controversial statement. Microsoft Edge is one of the browsers that ships this dangerous capability. Here is the dialog you need to hunt for to turn this API off.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.Putin just illegally detained a legal US resident without a warrant or charge because he peacefully protested the Govt’s policies enabling war crimes. His lawyer & family have no idea where he is
This is fasci—
Wait—sorry I misread. Trump did all of the above to US greencard holder Mahmoud Khalil. 😳
No warrant. No formal charge. Just an arrest in the dark of night and transported to an undisclosed location.
This is fascism and if you think he’ll stop at Palestinians, you’re sorely mistaken.
JA WestenbergThis year, I founded an indie news blog doing long-form Op-eds.
It's 100% free and 100% reader funded. No venture capital, no ads, no bullshit.
And it is unapologetically opposed to Nazi fuckery.

Prof. Sam LawlerAlso, in case anyone is counting, Starlink is now 63% of all active satellites.
2 out of ever 3 satellites up there now are owned by that awful billionaire. He effectively controls Low Earth Orbit. That should terrify everyone.
mhoyeLook, "/home is a tempfile" isn't just a footgun, or a bug.
It's an explicit ideological attack on the whole idea of what Linux is and who Linux is for.
If /home is just a tempfile to be purged when drivespace pressure hits some arbitrary threshold then Linux is a corporate-owned SAAS shim, and that's all it is. It's not just "breaking userspace", it's abandoning the idea that the people using that space and the stuff they've made there matter at all.
The only feeling I have about starship is dread.
They want to use that to launch batches of HUNDREDS of Starlinks at once. And guess where all those Starlinks will end up? The pieces that don't make it to the ground will end up in our upper atmosphere, screwing up the stratosphere, the ozone layer, who knows what else because SpaceX isn't required to do any environmental assessments of this.
Shit. Maybe a good time to post this essay I wrote yet again: https://theconversation.com/an-astronomers-lament-satellite-megaconstellations-are-ruining-space-exploration-215653
