Here's my very, very simple creed:

Bombing hospitals is wrong.
Bombing civilians is wrong.
Collective punishment is a war crime.
Imposed starvation of a population is a war crime.
Seeking to evict an indigenous population is ethnic cleansing.

There is no justification for carrying out any of the above actions.

None.

If you disagree with the above - fuck off.

Oh, and you may want to reconsider how you've ended up agreeing with the Third Reich.

If anyone wants any 1:1 tuition for iOS interviews at big tech (coding or system design interviews), message me. I work at Meta (of course I won’t be sharing any confidential info, but the principles are fair game!).

This is just so disgusting. It's just like Elon Musk to be taking photo ops next to gas chambers and death camp quarters for PR. Ive visited a similar camp, you feel immediately how inappropriate and disrespectful it would be to take such photos if you visit. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/22/world/europe/elon-musk-auschwitz-jewish-antisemitism.html?unlocked_article_code=1.P00.QpDL.mRAXTGbFSsRR&smid=url-share #elonmusk

Big news in bug math. This is the first year since 1803 when both 13-year cicadas and 17-year cicadas will emerge from the ground simultaneously in the US!

13 and 17 are both prime. It's believed cicadas evolved to have prime-number life cycles, thus avoiding predators that emerge more frequently, like once every 4 years or 5 years or... whatever. By showing up infrequently, with a prime number life cycle, cicadas can starve out those predators.

And since 13 and 17 are both prime and 13 × 17 = 221, both kinds of cicadas emerge simultaneously only once every 221 years. And

1803 + 221 = 2024

so now they'll both emerge simultaneously and we'll have 𝑙𝑜𝑡𝑠 of cicadas!

Also, this year the two kinds can interbreed! Maybe they're be fruitful and multiply... and we'll get 221-year cicadas. 😆

The last time the Northern Illinois Brood’s 17-year cycle aligned with the Great Southern Brood’s 13-year cycle, Thomas Jefferson was president.

The BBC's 6 month trial of using the Fediverse will be ending soon.
They want to measure if they have enough reach and engagement for the effort they expend running their Mastodon instance.
Give these accounts a follow if you agree that public broadcasters should live in the Fediverse:

🌟 Thrilled to share my involvement in the Emmy-awarded "@Apple - The Greatest - Accessibility" commercial! As a blind musician, it was an honor not only to demo the innovative Door Detection feature but also to play piano and keyboards in the video. I even had a hand in the pre-production of the song. A big shoutout to @Somesuchandco and @Apple for embracing accessibility and inclusivity. This recognition at the #Emmys #75thEmmys celebrates the power of accessible technology and the arts combined! 🏆🎹👏

Apparently the amount of theft in Dutch supermarkets is rising sharply, due to high prices (while the chains make boatloads of profit).

Reminder: don't say a fucking word when you see someone steal some food or other necessities from a supermarket. If someone's stealing from a supermarket, they most likely have no other choice.

Don't be a snitch.

I’m trying to add voice-over accessibility labels to the menu items in a SwiftUI MenuBarExtra app but nothing I do changes anything. I can add accessibility labels to standard elements in a window, but not to buttons in a MenuBarExtra. Has anyone got this to work?
