How does one be not-nosy?

i know this was a few days ago but my extremely niche ethical opinion is if you make something physical that is controlled by an app or software, that software should be *required* to work offline or be open sourced

The AWS outage bricked people's $2,700 smartbeds, leaving them in a reclining position or with the heat up. People were unable to use them, basically. A GitHub repo exists that lets people operate their beds without reliance on the normal infrastructure

The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds

When Amazon Web Services went offline, people lost control of their cloud-connected smart beds, getting stuck in reclined positions or roasting with the heat turned all the way up.

and I still have some presidential-seal branded paper towels I stole after my bathroom selfie

a stack of "paper towels" (they were so thick and soft they were basically towels) with the presidential seal on them

i was at the White House in 2015 shortly after the photo ban was lifted so here are some of the earliest photos allowed of the east wing rip

a sign in the entrance saying the photo ban has been lifted and for the first time in 40 years visitors can take photos

a hallway. I think it's the one between east wing and main white house

lol jesus christ shut the fuck up you loser

You wouldn't be posting on a public site with dozens of links to all your profiles if you were actually concerned about your safety.

You're larping. You want to feel like you're doing something by being "covert" and pretending you're in danger.

Pedestrian bridges were full of protesters both in Brooklyn Park at 252/85th and in Columbia Heights at Central/49th.

And yet you're still fucking scared of it.

This is going to get more attention and do more to show how unpopular they are than anything "leftists" have done as of yet.

"Why isn't anyone standing up to this administration??"

but also

"Everyone should be terrified to post fun photos of them and their signs at a massive national protest today because it might make you a target"

See where theres an issue with that logic? Stupid advice. Stop being scared.

There's no threat. These people are delusional and only helping the fascists

Literally posting this is more likely to get the guy targeted than someone going to an organized protest with millions of people.

Mitch @mitchas.bsky.social · 7d

Fuck it, take all the pictures. Take them of everyone. Share them everywhere.

Show how big it is and how many normal people are there that aren't antifa or hamas

Make Mike Johnson even more scared than all these weirdos are of taking a selfie at what is basically a corporate protest

Mitch @mitchas.bsky.social · 7d

Guys this shit is stupid.

We're talking about a protest with millions of people.

Stop trying to scare people about something that realistically has no risk

If they start rounding up people from this protest, we're far past "don't photograph yourself at protests" being able to save you

ProTip. Don’t photograph yourself at a protest.

Jess Piper @piperformissouri.bsky.social · 7d

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

The National Weather Service API returns today labeled as "Columbus Day" instead of just "Monday" and that's extremely annoying

A screenshot of JSON data returned from the NWS forecast API. The first entry, today, is labelled as "Columbus Day" instead of the day name.

I generally spend my days working from home and yelling at wood peckers to stop pecking my house

But this is the first I've seen one of these guys.

Sat on my roof looking mad after he tried to get in a bird feeder but was too big to fit

ok I am extremely close to actually releasing a usable/testable version so here's a little preview

something to help replace the shit social media sites, but just for Minnesota

A screenshot of a (super secret) website showing a UI for events - like Facebook events but just for Minnesota

Another screenshot, but this time it's on the news page - showing links and snippets of local news stories around the state.
