Global warming is slowing Earth's rotation.

It's a small effect, but it's measurable, and it's one more way our mucking about with the planet is having unintended consequences.

This is a great reason to ditch windows altogether. Switch to 🧑‍💻 They don’t care about your privacy or safety anymore and not hiding it either.

You know "Discourse"? The forum software? There's a thing that really bugs me about it, which is when you're signing up for a Discourse forum it requires email but says "your email will NOT be disclosed except to the admins". And then right after doing this, it by default uses Gravatar to grab your avatar.

So imagine there's some opsec reason you might not want to post under your real name on some forum. You create a pseudonym… and then there's your Gravatar, which in my case is my face.

@mcc wait yeah, why is Gravatar still a thing, at least one that uses MD5??

YouTube's war on ad blockers is a war on your privacy.

I may still use YouTube, but it'll definitely be less often -- and it'll be in a browser instance that isn't connected in any way to anything else I do.

@kevinlovestech @dangillmor The platform you want to support has a twisted sense of morality. It enables, funds, and incentivizes creators like SSSniperWolf to do shitty content while also borderline committing crime without consequence.

Thoughts?

kaito02,
@kaito02@mastodon.social avatar

@gcluley I'm gonna have to say no. Blocking access to a subset of users is the antithesis of ad blocking in the first place: providing reasonable access to websites.

Feels like it's gonna be in the same vein as "Best viewed with Chrome"

Folks, if you believe the backpedal, you need to- sit with your feelings a sec, because. Heh.

Nobody deletes a git repo for "low views." don't delete anything unless someone tells them to / they need to, because, why would you? It costs nothing to just leave it there. Unless.

'The Jewish “Question.” The Negro “Problem.” The Trans “Issue.” Maybe people existing shouldn't be a question, issue, or problem that's up for debate. If you're framing people’s humanity and existence as some kind of both sides debate you're probably not a good person.'

kaito02,
@kaito02@mastodon.social avatar

@ned ok, I think this holds water in the racism context, but I can't get on board with this on other contexts. What if the belief of a certain group of people actively harms humanity as a whole? For example, what if a certain set of people believe viruses don't exist?

Fellow educators:

  1. Don't do cop shit.
  2. Don't pay for a service that does cop shit.
  3. Don't trust claims of system performance without documentation.
  4. DO educate your students about what ChatGPT is and why they wouldn't want to use it.

Screen caps from some spam I received just now:

@emilymbender Classroom idea: after students turn in their homework, have an oral exam to check their knowledge of the topic against what they wrote. Catch them red-handed not knowing anything.
