I just thought of a website for passively-cooled computers called "OnlyFanless". In a roundabout way, you can blame @forbiddenunix.com for this. I will not elaborate further.

Everyone who worked at this camp should go to prison.
“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

- 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas.

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

The importance of upstream contributions should be highlighted within an OSPO's open source strategy to help leadership understand the importance of the work so that you can continue to do it. Here's a new blog post with a few details about how to do this:

I know a trans woman who stayed closeted for almost her entire tech career, since the 80s. She just came out a few years ago since she’s close to retirement. I can’t imagine having to hide a part of yourself for decades like that. It’s so sad to think about.
I realise my Bluesky audience is speaking to the choir here, but the linked essay does such a wonderful job at explaining why I'm so passionate about *every* trans person receiving gender-affirming care. It is, quite simply, miraculous.

You can read with your eyes, ears, and get this... your hands if it's in braille. It all counts.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book.

In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience.

I love it so much. Especially as my eyesight gets worse.

I know we technically don't need them anymore but we should bring back screensavers. If only for the whimsy. I miss the flying toasters.

man ... lying under oath really ought to be a crime, you know?
The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.
