The email says they will provide students and staff "the support they need to process this and other recent events."

I can only hope that this support takes the form of a course in statistical literacy and a warning against reading the news, but somehow I suspect it is just going to attempt to validate the narrative that it is right to think about extremely rare violence and to spend our precious life trying to reduce extremely small but salient risks. 🙁

What will enter the #publicdomain in 2023? At the start of each year, on January 1st, a new crop of works enter the public domain and become free to enjoy, share, and reuse for any purpose. Each day through December we’ll open a new window in our advent-style calendar to reveal our highlights! By public domain day on January 1st they will all be unveiled. https://publicdomainreview.org/features/entering-the-public-domain/2023/

(And for the impatient/curious we've also links to lists of the new entrants!)

So I'm seeing some... let's call it well-intentioned hacker contrarianism about Musk's now-aborted battle with Apple, and his proposed "amnesty" on the platform.

It runs something like this.

* Musk sucks as a spokesman, but Apple's monopoly is bad for tech and *should* be broken up.

* Most of the people who've been banned from Twitter are actually sex workers, leftists, Muslims, etc. and we should be happy Musk will liberate them.

Let's talk about ideological drift for a second.

this is the most succinct response I've ever seen to the comment "but Android is Linux!!"

Boss just fired me. In front of a coworker. Couldn’t even give me a reason. In an at-will, though it was likely retaliation and discrimination, the energy to fight him is low due to chronic illness.

Any looking for a tech person? General know-how/consulting, Shopify/eBay, hardware, and general management of inventory/data/systems.

Please boost?

I asked the AI to draw steampunk versions of the McDonaldland characters, including a mech Ronald McDonald, the Hamburglar, Birdie the Early Bird, and the Fry Guys.

I should have kept my mouth shut, as StackFucker2TheReturn and StackFucker3ThisTimeItsPersonal just showed up

"We were so glad to see we had neighbours," the message began. "We wrote poems of joy to you in the storms and the clouds. But you never responded."
The message came from Jupiter.
"We grieved, until we realised you cannot read those, that you read radio waves. Thus we greet you."
