The AI crawler bot arms race has developed more quickly than we hoped, Google pretends to care what the community thinks, full Linux desktop apps are probably coming to Android, Thunderbird shares more details of their paid services and we are interested, and PuTTY has a great new domain name.

¡Hola, mundo!

Ebuki es una nueva plataforma de descarga de ebooks con opción de pago social. Esto significa que se puede descargar un libro a cambio de publicar un mensaje en una red social, lo que ayuda a dar visibilidad a los autores y a llegar a más lectores.

Lleva unos meses funcionando a modo de pruebas y por ahora solamente está implementado el pago social con Bluesky. En los próximos días se activará la integración con Mastodon 💛

My last day of work at the World Trade Center was Sept 10, 2001. I worked late, so I was going to go in late the next day. I never made it in (the planes hit in the morning). I was at 5 WTC, a 9 story building between the towers, all my coworkers evacuated

What I remember most were the missing person posters, especially plastered all over Grand Central Terminal

Now we experience it again with #ICE under #Trump

Powered by the same stupid hate and fear that powered 9/11
