Entirely too excited about mechanical keyboards.

Elon Musk gets a lot of hate.

But it’s not enough.

We can do better.

So a few months ago we learned that the individual running polyfill.io silently sold the service to an obscure chinese company.

This popular (and well done / very useful) service was created by the Financial Times, who stopped maintaining it and "donated it to the community", meaning that it relied on a few volunteers to continue running it (and on Fastly who provided the hosting for free). 1/7

During our "digital transformation" we removed silos.

Mostly by renaming them to squads.

Every person has the right to wear a mask.

There are many good reasons for doing so: COVID, airborne pathogens, sickness, privacy, surveillance, allergies, work etc.

No one should ever have to explain or justify why they are wearing a mask — that’s none of your business.

The fact that far too many people cannot recognize fascism unless it looks exactly like Nazi Germany is very dangerous.

Good. The whole concept of cash bail is that people should be detained pre-trial based on how much money they have, instead of whether they're a flight risk or a risk to the community. It's an indefensible system. It should be abolished everywhere.

"The Illinois Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a state law eliminating cash bail. Illinois will now become the first state in the nation to eliminate cash bail when the new law takes effect Sept. 18."

January 6 committee found that Twitter and other social media companies gave Republicans preferential treatment on social media out of fear of criticism/reprisal. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/01/17/jan6-committee-report-social-media/
What the Jan. 6 probe found out about social media, but didn’t report

The Jan. 6 committee's 845-page report offered few details of social media's role in the Capitol riot. Transcripts and an unreleased memo shows the committee knew more.

The Washington Post
This just hurts my soul. Microsoft basically hid a Black cemetery on land they got for free after tax breaks and then allowed for the desecration of the graves. The county and newspaper aren’t off the hook either. Same with the consultants and archeologists. https://www.propublica.org/article/how-authorities-erased-historic-black-cemetery-virginia
Developers Found Graves in the Virginia Woods. Authorities Then Helped Erase the Historic Black Cemetery.

The cemetery’s disappearance cleared the way for the expansion of a Microsoft data center, despite layers of federal and state regulations nominally intended to protect culturally significant sites.

ProPublica
There are many legitimate reasons to track Elon Musk's flight coordinates, for example to offer him ads more relevant to his interests
