Now, I just need a droid that can speak the binary language of moisture vaporators.

Replying to @grapheneos.org

Apple's MIE and Android 16+ AAPM don't use MTE for user installed apps unless those explicitly opt in. GrapheneOS enables it for more apps automatically and has a toggle for users to opt-in for every user installed app. There's a per-app toggle to opt-out for incompatible apps which is uncommon.

Worth noting in this context how by 2017 he was doing a debate tour with British TERFs playing their role in cross partisan normalisation of his pedophilic fascist anti feminist freak show. The research and campaign development Milo Y did landed hard and fast in a way people didn't fully understand

Star Wars: KOTOR. My first BioWare RPG. My mind was blown when I realized the game would just… let me flirt with that guy. 😂 And just run around being in a Star Wars movie. 🤯 I was like, you can DO THIS??!!!

I was asked recently about the cost of running a #rustlang conference and why the ticket prices are what they are. We figured we can just publicly share the numbers for RustWeek, in the name of #transparency. :) 1/9

Vernor Vinge: In my book, I invented the library-shredding scanning machine as a cautionary tale. Tech Company: At long last, we have created the library shredding scanning machine from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create the Library-Shredding Scanning Machine.

I'll defend AI's ability to scan books for training. BUT NOT DESTROY THEM. And this "rationale" is insane. It's not true, and it offers no defense for training.

Cool. I, too, was in Terminal 4 that day. Luckily in the evening, not the morning. So add that to the horrors of the year

Maricopa County has officially confirmed a 16th case of measles this year. The public exposure occurred at Sky Harbor on June 17. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Nick Staab said this number of cases is not normal.

According tot he FDA, "compassionate use" is only available "for a patient with a serious or immediately life-threatening disease or condition" www.fda.gov/news-events/...

EXCLUSIVE: Eli Lilly gave compassionate use access to retatrutide, their unapproved powerful obesity drug, to a 79-year-old man in April. The application was arranged by a top doctor at NIH, and cleared by the FDA. www.statnews.com/2026/06/23/e...

Even as I figured for three decades it would be the most likely outcome, I am still surprised that my parents would jump straight to hatred for me, learning I'm nonbinary. And to claim that Christ would approve of their hate.

I gave this toast last night at a party we hosted: To the family we're born into, and to the family we build. Tonight I'm grateful for the second kind. To everyone who's ever had a door close behind them and found a patio full of people waiting -- you are not turned out. You're taken in. Cheers.

Companies are much more transparent about security and reliability bugs than privacy bugs. I've wanted solid data on this for a decade, but it's effectively impossible to get. 1/🧵 Obligatory notice: I'm not speaking about or on behalf of my employer. I'm speaking as someone who founded PEPR

Data Bear 🏳️‍🌈@dataandpolitics.net

Tech engineering normalized transparency (status pages, postmortems, bug disclosures) partly to encourage other industries to do the same. Decades later it’s backfired: people hear our issues but not their own industry’s, so they assume engineering is worse rather than more transparent.

A fun* update is coming to @howsmyssl.com! * only if you care about the cryptographic security and privacy of the software ecosystem we're all swimming in now

How's My SSL?@howsmyssl.com

Ranking updates! TLS 1.2 connections and also TLS 1.3 connections without post-quantum key agreement will be marked as Improvable on June 14th 2026. And then as Bad on December 14th, 2026. Here's why: blog.howsmyssl.com/2026/05/18/t...

I should make a label service so we can label ourselves on here as "Radically Pro-Transgender".

Assigned Media@assignedmedia.org

WELP! We're all transgender extremists now, at least according to the White House, which we regret to inform you has been taken over by far-right extremists. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

A bright edge of the sky. Hurray to Dr. Q Manivannan and Iris Duane on their election victories!

Assigned Media@assignedmedia.org

A nonbinary icon now represents transphobic children's author JK Rowling in the Scottish Parliament, and @alyssaur.bsky.social is not above a little gloating, today on the newly redesigned Assigned Media. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

These fascist attacks on the privacy of young people receiving gender-affirming care should be alarming to all of us. It really is a moment of “First, they came for the trans kids.” (1/3)

NYU Langone has a moral and legal obligation to stand up to this power grab and hold the line to protect their patients.

Living on the East Coast means my radio-controlled atomic wall clock is completely deaf to the atomic (WWVB) signal from Colorado. In the attached video, I am using my smartphone to force the clock to sync to exact Internet time via a clever hardware hack. 1/4

Re-upping this, since the poor Bluesky servers kept having trouble when I first put it up.💜
