Once when the web was young, a man who was but a boy thought “what if the blogs all did a little dance together in a row?” and now I have one of these things too.

Looks like the missile was fired by Ukrainian defense forces and was accidental.

Poland, NATO say missile landing wasn't Russian attack

PRZEWODOW, Poland (AP) — Poland said Wednesday there is “absolutely no indication” that a missile which came down in Polish farmland, killing two people, was a intentional attack on the NATO country, and that neighbor Ukraine likely launched the Soviet-era projectile as it fended off a Russian air assault that savaged its power grid.

We don't have to talk about TFG this time around, do we? Cause I vote, not ever, ever, ever again.
My least favorite dark pattern in UX is when you are confronted with a login screen, pick a different sign-in method from the one you signed up with, and start receiving duplicate marketing and service updates until you fix something (plus you still aren't signed in with the right credentials). They should at least ask if you want to create a new account so you can say... "whoops, I already have an account so I guess it's not that one."
Watched a few minutes of cable news over lunch about this Russian missile killing two people in Poland. Let me save you a few minutes, nobody knows anything yet (or they can’t say yet) including the State Dept.
Mastodon Has Officially Retired the 'Toot,' Its Version of the Tweet

Not everyone is pleased with the decision to change "toot" to "publish," but many third-party apps are continuing to use the original term for posts anyway.

I'll just confess here and now because I don't have the guts to tell them to their faces... I am *not* ready for Amazing Early Bird Black Friday Deals.

A quick note of something that may be important for people to know: I already noted that DMs here are a bit sketchy security wise, but (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT): if you mention someone else's account in a DM, Mastodon, yoinks them into the conversation.

So, you know, if you think you're talking about someone behind their back, you might be doing it to their face.

Never wrestle a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it. Then the pig buys the mud pit, stops paying the water bill, forgets water is required for mud, and backs into the feed trough; now the pig's dinner is spoiled and he starts blaming the oats for scaring the water away.
