Meanwhile I can't share this blog post on Meta, because it's news... I can't talk about a technical fubar on Twitter/X, because my government passed a bone-headed law, and then Meta had a fubared filter.
LOL.

Attached: 1 image Today's story includes a well-boosted post from @[email protected] about Twitter/X's colossal and hilarious screw-up trying to truncate all links ending in "twitter.com" to "x.com." Twitter's Clumsy Pivot to X.com is a Gift to Phishers On April 9, Twitter/X began automatically modifying links that mention "twitter.com" to redirect to "x.com" instead. But over the past 48 hours, dozens of new domain names have been registered that demonstrate how this change could be used to craft convincing phishing links -- such as fedetwitter[.]com, which is currently rendered as fedex.com in tweets. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2024/04/twitters-clumsy-pivot-to-x-com-is-a-gift-to-phishers/

Amphibians use #scream inaudible to humans for self-defense against predators, study suggests
For the first time in South America, researchers recorded the use of ultrasound by a frog endemic to the #AtlanticRainforest in Brazil, which has more species of amphibians than any other country. Other frogs may use very high-frequency calls.

Tim BrayWHO: “Famine in Gaza is imminent, with immediate and long-term health consequences”

Slower than bombs, but still a continuing slaughter of the innocent.
Famine in Gaza is imminent, with immediate and long-term health consequences
The latest analysis from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) partnership released today warns that the situation in Gaza is catastrophic, with northern Gaza facing imminent famine and the rest of the Strip at risk as well.
Paul CantrellThe best software tester I’ve ever known once said to me, “Whenever I start at a new place, I find out which teams hate each other. Where their systems interface with each other is the first place I look for bugs — because they’re not talking to each other.”
Software projects stand and fall on the relationships between the humans who create them. (A corollary to Conway’s Law.)

Adrianna TanI follow Hannah Che, who writes beautifully about life and food in parts of China I want to hear more about. Harbin. Kunming.
In this dispatch from Kunming she writes of tofu.
“I’ve been researching the alkaline treatment of tofu— traditional methods found in Yunnan and Guizhou [..] Similar to nixtamalization in masa, this change in pH tenderizes the soy proteins and results in unusual textures like molten lava, custard and exploding juice interiors”

Today's choir is excellent.
Realizing it's annoying that I hate the arranging for the accompanying music, and half my attention is devoted to rearranging.
Maybe this is why most music is better in an altered state, or why pop music simply isn't relaxing? The structure is too predictable, every progression an overplayed trope.
Suggestions for using up koji and sake kasu?
I get offered samples of outrageously good and interesting ingredients :)
Just called my MP, letting them know I appreciate their position demanding a ceasefire for Gaza.
I've been meaning to do this for a while, but a report today of a bomb being dropped after a food aid drop... FFS. I don't want to react emotionally to any breaking news, but the accumulation of verified news shows this conflict is not being waged according to basic moral and legal standards.
The political tone has shifted a lot online, and especially in Québec, which is more in favour of peace.
