Hmm, I wonder if someone is trying to find Michael Fichery (Cold Case, Yosemite National Park near Hetch Hetchy) using high resolution synthetic aperture radar imaging from Umbra? They are dumping a ton of data from that location (all open). http://umbra-open-data-catalog.s3-website.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/?prefix=sar-data/tasks/Hetch%20Hetchy%20Reservoir/

“Paradoxically, what KOSA does is it removes the ability for teens and children to find information when they are experiencing the very sort of health problems and other problems that KOSA is trying to address,” EFF’s @aaronmackey told @NPR https://www.npr.org/2024/02/18/1232301930/how-tech-companies-would-be-affected-by-the-kids-online-safety-act

ai6yr, (edited ) to Dogs

Hmm, a very large dog just came up to the window (outside) here where I am working--about 5 feet way from me--and starting a loud howling for a few minutes, and left. (not my dog). Last night there was a raccoon there all night, and a coyote wandering around. Now I am wondering what is so interesting right here outside.

(I think it was a dog, because it was wearing a reflective collar... but now, I am not so sure).

(For the record, the dog here inside was very confused--but not alarmed--about why a strange dog was howling at the window)

I had an "ah ha" moment when thinking about the angry responses to yesterday's blog post.

(This one, if you missed it.) https://terikanefield.com/section-3-and-the-spirit-of-liberty/

First, I'll share a positive response. (Screenshot #1)

(Screenshot #2 was typical of the angry responses.)

About 5 years ago, I took the tact of responding to "there are never any consequences" by listing the consequences.

I figured, you know, facts. For example, see #3

Google has recently decided to prohibit the use of uBlock Origin. Luckily, I'm not too affected by this change since I primarily use Firefox as my go-to browser.

However, there are times when I need to use a Chromium-based browser, which seems to be happening quite often lately. In those instances, I've been turning to @Vivaldi. It's been a great alternative for me!

136,000 books from the 18th Century.

ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SIX THOUSAND OF THEM.

That would be a point of pride in any library. Making it readable from the Internet, browsable, and downloadable? A pipe dream.

Anyway, here they are.

🚨🚨🚨 WATCH THIS ENTIRE SPEECH! 🚨🚨🚨

The 20-second sound bites from network and cable news do NOT give you a clear idea of the power and gravity of Pres. Biden’s discourse on the current state of — and threat to — our Constitution and our democracy.

The real meat of his message begins about 7 minutes in. It’s absolutely worth your time to watch it to the end.

I’m stating unequivocally that this is the most alarming presidential address I’ve heard since the 1962 Cuban missile crisis — and the consequences of another Trump administration will be no less catastrophic for our country than what JFK described then.

Please watch. Please boost this so more people will see it. The news is not covering this message as they should. Thanks.
