@JesseSkinner @mcollina Yeah I'm a fan of Gruvbox in Emacs since a long while. It's a really nice theme. And it has some great variations.
MacStealer - newly-discovered malware steals passwords and exfiltrates data from infected Macs.
The Common Sense Skeptic released a video several hours ago exploring a fascinating old concept called The Star-Raker from the 70s. And there's a lot more information there. But they also, again, called out that SpaceX's Starship launch would explode - which it did, while I was watching their video. These guys have consistently called out Elon Musk for years and they've been right every time.
@jeffjarvis That was so satisfyingly brilliant. 👍

Cool! @Flipboard is now curating news on the Fediverse with four topical “desks”. They are:
1. @NewsDesk
2. @TechDesk
3. @CultureDesk
4. @ScienceDesk
What’s sold me on this concept is that this news is curated by humans—not bots!
Yay for hand-picked news!
@arielwaldman @dgoldsmith A majority of people are really addicted to attention from their "followers". The moment they look at Mastodon, they realise that their "popularity" means almost nothing here and that's a big reason why they stay there.
To those that say only the privileged can afford to leave Twitter, I argue that it is far more privileged to ask your audience to join you on an immensely hostile and hate-filled platform. This is not ok. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/04/twitter-quietly-edited-its-hateful-conduct-policy-to-drop-transgender-protections/
Let's see: I've lived in 9 US states (Mass, NY, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, California, Arizona, Vermont) and England, Belgium, France, Israel, and Japan.
I used to be a news photographer in Washington DC during the Clinton years. I've worked for Congressional Quarterly, UPI, Scripps Howard News Service.
Now I live again in Paris.
