In my hands is my first iPod. Steve Jobs is smiling at me. Everybody at the Apple Store is smiling.

I take off my Apple Vision. I am back in the retirement home. Nobody has visited me for 12 years. I put it back on.

I hold my iPod. Everybody in the Apple Store is smiling.

I've written an ActivityPub server which only allows you to post messages to your followers. That's all it does. It won't record favourites or reposts. There's no support for following other accounts or receiving replies. It cannot delete o…

Oh, uh, oops...

Formula One's invitation to Andretti Cadillac for an in-person meeting about its application to join the motorsports series was sent via email and landed in a spam folder, which is why Michael Andretti and General Motors representatives never answered the request.

The junk email revelation came Friday as Andretti Global sought to clarify two points in the sharply critical document F1 released earlier this week in rejecting the Andretti Cadillac application.

F1 said it had contacted the Andretti camp on Dec. 12 “extending an invitation to an in-person meeting at our offices in order for the applicant to present its application, but the applicant did not take us up on this offer.”

Oh. So, Tesla is a regulatory pyramid scheme.

I guess we should have expected.

On Facebook's 20th birthday, lets take a moment to remember how Mark Zuckerberg chose to describe his first couple of thousand users, in an IM conversation...

[New article] For All Mankind (Season 4): The creation of the Ranger

Now that the season is over, I invite you to discover how the Ranger -the "asteroid catcher"- was conceived, from script to screen, from concept art to sets, in the company of art director Kit Stølen 🖖

@lauren I read a story once (possibly apocryphal) about a technology startup renting office space in a foundry that used to be a machine room. They'd centralized operations, but the big red button was still on the wall, which everyone assumed was disconnected. You can see where this is going. On Fridays, when they knocked off for the week, someone'd slam the button as they walked out the door. Unbeknownst to them it caused the foundry to scram & it would take them hours to bring it back online.

@falken

It is a multi step process, but yes this and any recent security fixes and features from masto will be pulled in. Along with several new features of our own.

@QOTO

tl;dr: I repro'd a vuln worth a couple of lambos from a conversation someone overheard at a bar and immediately burned it by disclosing to the vendor

"Sources have told BBC Sport that all Mercedes team members have been called to a team briefing with boss Toto Wolff and technical director James Allison at 14:00 GMT on Thursday. This is likely to be to announce Hamilton is leaving."

What the hell? It’s looking like Lewis is off to Ferrari next year? If true, and it’s looking fairly true, it suggests he isn’t confident with the upcoming Mercedes car #F1

Please note today's server migration was moved to Friday. Expect some downtime on Friday, EST morning. We are migrating servers and begining the upgrade process for several updates we have in the pipeline. Expect brand new features in the near future.

Ol' Fat Hands wants us to do the gardening for him for free, because we've just been lying around with nothing to do otherwise y'see...lazy peasant scum that we are.
