Last night on stage , I announced my resignation from the Infinite Monkey Cage - here is my statement #science #radio #bbc
I 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.

That is what I have used as well. You can selectively encrypt a subset of secrets with different keys, meaning you can split your secrets into sets and then manage who has read/write access to each set based on their GPG key. Then pass's git integration gives you history and syncing.

@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!
A 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.

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.

Are the Blues going to be allowed to live here?

This 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.

Did anyone ever track down how Kavanaugh paid off all his debt?

@Craigp

I get the frustration, especially when the "first instance" isn't spelled out and the assumption is made that the reader/audience will already know what is being referred to.

Here's the definition for this type of abbreviation/shortening and a list of common ones:
