Every Black Friday I take the time to read what is perhaps my favorite piece in the history of online media— @jonbois.bsky.social on RadioShack’s slow, painful death.

A eulogy for RadioShack, the panicked and half-dead retail empire
This may very well be RadioShack’s final holiday season. Jon, a former employee, looks back on a strange, craven, five thousand-fingered strip-mall monster from a forgotten age.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

At #wikiconferencena a man pulled a gun on stage wearing a "non-offending pedophile" sign, aggrieved, seemingly, that wikipedia doesn't allow him to write about that subject. Disarmed by hero Wikipedians Pharos and Fuzheado and arrested.

Other trans journalists have also covered Mamdani’s incredible ad. It was so meaningful to so many.
I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Hopes for the future of display connectors, from a 1999 presentation by Intel and Silicon Image engineers who created the DVI specification. Amusing that they thought we'd get rid of VGA before we got rid of CRTs. (full presentation: web.archive.org/web/20050322... )

It's such a magical feeling when I write a description or something on a Wikidata item, and I return to the item a while later, and find that strangers have translated my words to many languages I don't speak. Really drives home the global scope of the project :)

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened
The flags were lowered last night around the base by order of President Trump after the killing of Charlie Kirk and will stay at half-staff on this U.S. outpost in southeast Cuba until sunset on Sunday.

Man, Microsoft is truly incapable of respecting user choice. They chased me off Windows ages ago, but I gave VS Code a shot. Then Copilot installed itself. I removed it. Today it came back again.

Not in this household buddy, you're gone! Should have installed Code OSS from the start.

@edent.tel Lol, what are you using to render the 3D buildings? Carew Tower is tall but it ain't that tall. The OSM way is tagged `height=574'` – I'm guessing whatever library doesn't realize that the apostrophe means it's in feet rather than meters.

The headline really underplays the story -- ChatGPT gave him advice about how to hide redness around his neck and about hiding the noose from his family. This is so fucked. There needs to be liability here; there needs to be a legal requirement to have robust guardrails in place.
Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death.

Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...
A Teen Was Suicidal. ChatGPT Was the Friend He Confided In.

TIL Logitech still has an FTP download server, and they still provide 30-year-old drivers to get your peripherals working on Windows 95 or Mac OS 8. I really love that. ftp://ftp.logitech.com

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people
