Maybe more people understand if we explain it just as bridges are not built for the ones who used to swim across the river.

Absolutely jaw-dropping talk by Micah Lee on the blinding national-security incompetence at the highest levels of the Trump regime.

If this had been any Democratic govt, Fox "News" and the entire right-wing media gang would make it the top story for weeks, if not months.

"We are currently clean on OPSEC": The Signalgate Saga

I just gave my first solo main stage DEFCON talk, about Signalgate, and I think it was a resounding success! The room was packed – apparently people were waiting outside to get in. I got tons of positive feedback, and no negative feedback (though, someone told me a boomer sitting next

Mastodon made me do it: Inspired by @jerzone and @LillyHerself mentioning him the other day, this afternoon I rode out looking for a couple of Andrew Goldworthy's pieces from his 20+ year old Sheepfolds project. The published grid references were a nonsense, but the old map made sense and managed to find them.
One was, I imagine, pretty much as built, but nature had rather taken over the other. #cumbria #sculpture #cycling

Upgrading #MacOS Sequoia to 15.6 has, weirdly, affected some of my font settings. In Mail it changed my fixed-width font setting to "Helvetica 13", so I changed it back to "SF Mono Regular 13". It also appeared to turn Apple #font smoothing back on, which I don't like because on my 1440p external monitor it makes the text look a little bolder, less sharp, and somewhat distorts the shapes of the letters. So I turned it back off with this "defaults" command.
