Fediverse
Pillowfort, a (non-federated) Tumblr-alternative, is closing down
Maybe some of its users will join the Fediverse? But where should they go, I don’t think there’s a federated Tumblr clone.
For those who are curious, these are what I'm looking at currently:
Did it get moved somewhere that I can’t find or did Apple get rid of the pixel/point accurate resize modes in the simulator?
Alberta woke up with relief.
The rest of Canada woke up with a racist province.
I really hate how slow my WordPress installation has become on WeDistribute.org. I'm going to look into ways to clean things up / speed things up, but I'm definitely feeling annoyed about it.
@Mrfunkedude please be real, please be real…..

@jwz This problem should have existed in the old design too, right? The "read more" calculation is based on set pixel height, so increasing font size would hit it sooner.
I finally submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.96 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/35738
It appears as if GitHub's Continuous Integration checks have passed OK!
It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
Thanks to you, aleteoryx, Uilebheist, nowster, koru, daltux, pmjv and anyone else who may have contributed to this release whom I may have inadvertently overlooked!
Again, my apologies for the delay! Traveling without a laptop and then realizing I needed to rework MacPorts' Makefile.patch made this take a lot longer than I would customarily prefer as far as down streaming latency goes.
In unrelated news: Denver now has FOUR Wax Trax Records locations! Mile High DJ Supply's spot in Arvada has a turntable set up reminiscent of DJ Q*Bert's Octagon (facilitatin 4 skratch deejays jammin together with 8 turntables and 4 mixers feedin into one sound system). The Colorado Symphony's performance of compositions they commissioned by Joe Hisaishi was wonderful! Though, Hisaishi was apparently unable to travel to conduct. Here's hoping he will not have difficulties with future travel plans and will be conducting at the SF Symphony for "Hisaishi conducts Hisaishi" since I have a ticket to one of those three shows later this week.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
If you package/distribute/maintain root stores or chain verifiers, act immediately.
If you know how to remove trust in a root, consider doing it now.
Otherwise, prepare to update systems as patches/mitigations come.
Go users, update to Go 1.27.3 or Go 1.26.10.

British friends: firstdirect have locked me out of my account because I use an open version of Android (Graphene), and, per the guy on the phone, "open source is not secure." Any suggestions for a UK bank that uses sensible security (e.g. authenticator app)?
@pluralistic How much Open Source lives in their tech stacks, unrecognized and uncompensated?

This week alone, I've discovered no fewer than 11 new #Fediverse platforms I've literally never heard of before.
There's a lot for me to share and write about!
A friend invited me to LearnedLeague and it's taking a lot to overcome my implicit distrust against online organizations that make you use IRL names.
