Remember that time 4 years ago when we were inches away from a fascist election disaster?promises to minorities are like a FIFO stack in programming. when the election is tight and they need support, politicians will make public pledges to minorities first.
once they win, those promises are the first ones removed from the stack.
we all need to be better at holding politicians accountable for actually following through on campaign promises.

No #IPv6 printing with @googlepixel and #Android , why?ipv4 supported printing, so obviously it's broken and inferior and ipv6 shouldn't support it... ;(
and yes, i can name folks at google who have this kind of attitude...

Azure’s retirement of support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 got delayed till Aug 2025 for a few services: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/security-compliance-and-identity/support-for-legacy-tls-protocols-and-cipher-suites-in-azure/ba-p/3952099i think we need a new term. legacy has positive connotations, tradition, etc.
i propose we start describing things as "albatross services".

I’m now a few days into using an electric cargo bike (a Tern GSD) as my primary form of transportation. It’s…awesome.there are neck "shades" for hiking. to follow on your ask/request, does anyone make one of those neck shades that can attach to a helmet?
(i'm also in the "i only use 70 SPF or higher" club)

Peak Windows? -
Worst Windows?wow... that's like "would you prefer toxic waste, nuclear waste, or asbestos".
so many bad choices here... i will say that windows 11 is shaping up to be the privacy and security disaster we're all reminiscing about like this in 5 years.

Daniel Sloss talking about holding other men accountable for abusing others. Because he failed:when i was in college, i went to a "youth encounter" weekend with a bunch of folks from my old high school.
this was a "nice" suburban high school, middle to upper middle class.
at the time, i was shocked when i found out that over half the women there had dealt with some form of coercive, unwanted sexual encounter.
sadly, over the rest of my life, i've been shown over and over that this wasn't at all exceptional or unusual, that the percentage was probably even a bit low.
we need to believe victims and stop excusing perpetrators.
