I like the idea of a cake cover band that is called frosting

I need a very very thin case for the iPad mini. It doesn't need to prop up, it's going to be in my hand. Just a front cover, preferably stiff but THIN, with whatever is needed to hold it on the back. I don't want a sleeve or bag system or organizer with a slot for the mini.
If all else fails, I'll rig something up with thin wood & cloth, but that's effort & I'm lazy.
@thefathippy I seriously didn't know if this was in response to Truck Island or the photo of my boobs.
@Alice @thefathippy If there were two hands in play, I think the answer would be clear.

Do not listen to the "get rid of C" crowd, unless they pay you money.

@RuthODay2 I've heard that homicide is the most reliable statistic for violent crime: it's almost always reported, and it's simple to quantify. When I look at the numbers for Ontario, I can argue it's going up or down, depending on what year I compare it with: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=3510006801&pickMembers%5B0%5D=1.7&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=1961&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2025&referencePeriods=19610101%2C20250101
That's a vague answer I know; I don't have a feel for Toronto crime rates. Car thefts were in the news a few years ago, so maybe those are up.
I am not seeing an increase. Though it is cyclical, for sure.
But it hasn't been at a rate higher than 2 per 100k since 1990. Last year's 1.27 is tied for 10th best in the set of data
Hardly the stuff of alarmist headlines.

“Soon after arriving in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, on the afternoon of Nov. 6, Pope Leo XIV issued a clarion call for universal health care not only in this small Latin American republic but also ‘in every society.’”
my guess is that, like, 90% of conspiracy theories are false, and the actual reasons behind things being done a certain way are almost always more mundane, like "that's what makes money" or "it makes sense from our point of view"
like, for instance, most companies don't intentionally make products that break after a few years, but it is cheaper to use parts with lower tolerances that don't last as long, even if that means more risk of things breaking during the warranty period
most politicians aren't evil and legitimately care for their people, but live with a set of cultural/religious/ideological viewpoints that move them towards actions we consider pointless, self-destructive or harmful
the problem is that the 10% that are true get all the attention, have books and movies written about them, and everyone else uses them as a comparison in all other situations
i should note that this dynamic somewhat changes in regard to things that impact marginalized people -- in that not everyone knows how to recognize which laws or rules or approaches are harmful to them, and thus it's easier for the bigots to hide their true intentions
also, decisions can harm marginalized people even if no intent to do so is made -- i bet companies in the US don't build polluting factories near where black people live intentionally, but when filtering for places where few people are capable of suing them or raising vocal enough complaints or otherwise disrupting the process, the end result is going to have a lot of those places

It's so disheartening to explain this over and over working in critical infrastructure cybersecurity full time. It's because everyone demands cheap, fast remote support and AI enabled real time telemetry and control. We’ve worked ourselves into this corner through demanding connectivity and I see next to nothing truly airgapped anymore. In fact, it’s impossible to convert some critical systems back at this point.
A lot of our power infrastructure is so complex with microgrids and renewables and real time billing and buy backs that it can’t be switched to manual anymore. A lot of industrial vendors won’t provide warranty support if their remote access is removed.
And this is all happening in super low maturity environments with limited if any cybersecurity resources or tools.
We’re trying, but the state of things is pretty dire, the barrier to basic disruptive attacks is lowering rapidly, and we can’t find enough people who understand the industrial environments and cybersecurity on thirty year old computers fast enough to hire close to enough people.
@hacks4pancakes critical infrastructure that needs remote access should only be accessible over a closed loop network - like the site has its own network that can only be accessed over a point-to-point fibre connection...

"In other words, Anthropic deliberately filed less information as a means of misleading the public into believing it was a fast, lean, profitable company with remarkably low compute costs and a large — yet indeterminately-timed — pile of obligations."

@jalefkowit honestly fleecing rich audiophiles is an honest trade as far as I'm concerned
@renardboy Even socially beneficial, if it keeps them from spending the money on sports cars they can’t handle or right-wing politics
