We've updated the rules of our flagship server mastodon.social today. Most are the same with some clarifications, but one rule is new: Content created by others must be attributed, and use of AI must be disclosed. Profiles that only post AI-generated content will not be tolerated.

People in the fire community (financial independence / early retirement) really over-estimate their ability to do blue collar work when they say stuff like ‘I’ll just barista fire’ (work as a barista after I retire)

Have you made coffee? Do you like coffee? Are you sure you can be hired to make it?

So many tech professionals have no idea what service work is, or how they are profoundly unsuitable to it

Trans people don't own gender. We stole it the same way Prometheus stole fire, so it would be available to everyone.

You're welcome.

Re this important thread from @grimalkina:

I just gave a little soapbox to my Software Design and Development students that I give every time I teach the class, and I’ll give it here on Mastodon.

Software development is an intensely social discipline.

So Apple has gone and updated the iMessage protocol to incorporate both forward security (very good!) and post-quantum cryptography. https://security.apple.com/blog/imessage-pq3/
Blog - iMessage with PQ3: The new state of the art in quantum-secure messaging at scale - Apple Security Research

We are introducing PQ3, a groundbreaking cryptographic protocol for iMessage that advances the state of the art of end-to-end secure messaging. With compromise-resilient encryption and extensive defenses against even highly sophisticated quantum attacks, PQ3 provides protocol protections that surpass those in all other widely deployed messaging apps.

Parents don't like that social media is a medium they don't understand and can't easily control, but that's nothing new either and neither are its supposed effects on kids. Most of what's blamed on social media is just the world being an increasingly shitty place for kids who have nowhere else to hang out but online.

You've seen me share a few maps and videos of the Panama Canal. I love that engineering marvel. This animation shows a map and a timelapsed journey through the canal. 15 seconds worth watching!

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

Day 18

Q: Why does it seem like so much of the anti-Asian hate that I see on TV and in newspapers is done by Black people?

A: Racism. Most Asian hate attacks are done by white folk. Asian folk are significantly safer from Asian hate, when they're around Black folk.🙂🙃

Newspapers lied on us. Again.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! I still haven't made it to Black history. Still on white US history. Q: Why does it seem like so much of the anti-Asian hate that I see on TV and in newspapers is done by Black people? It seems like Asian folk should be legitimately afraid of Black people! Why does it seem that way? A: Racism. Most Asian hate attacks are done by white folk. Asian folk are significantly safer from Asian hate, when they are around Black folk.🙂🙃 Newspapers lied on us. #BlackMastodon
