WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

litestream-vfs is exciting. Besides being FUSE-free, it hooks into SQLite at a far more solid point than the original Litestream, and has an amazing new power:

Again I say: GO DAWGS!
This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.
But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

Go dawgs! 🐶 👊
Don't look now, but based on early returns Democrats have a shot at flipping a legislative seat in Georgia tonight... The results from Athens are gigantic for their candidate. More momentarily.

What Cat's describing here is very real, and anyone who runs a software org feels it. We're beholden to velocity metrics almost exclusively, but software orgs that run flat out will ALWAYS lose velocity over time, because software is multi-disciplinary and you need to ingest new information & skills
Learning culture moderates how software organizations adopt tools and the implicit rules we're giving developers want what they can do, experiment with, push back on, and share.
And software has spent years dismissing it in favor of sloppy ad hoc velocity benchmarks

I still have a Rockbox-shaped hole in my heart. We improved mp3 players massively, and had a blast doing it.
I wonder what would be a similar thing today: A common device with frustratingly poor software that could benefit from some open source love.
Any suggestions?

The “journalist” who first spread that misquote was Declan McCullagh, an obscure libertarian who, thanks to that one small act of perfidy, bears some responsibility for the world we now inhabit
Remember in 2000 when Al Gore was repeatedly misquoted as having said he invented the internet and that was seen the eyes of many as disqualifying him from office? Simpler times. Today, Trump makes up lies equivalent to "I invented the internet" 30 times a week and no one bats an eye. Good job media
