Oh lovely. The new Discord update can mistarget image uploads and send them to an unintended recipient.
So if you use Discord for mixed purposes uh... be extremely, extremely wary of that. 🙃

browser politics
if 97% of all web browsers use the same browser engine, that's a monopoly and needs to be broken up
and yeah that probably means governments subsidizing the production of other browser engines but *fucking good*
it also probably means that web standards need to be simplified and not complexified which *also fucking good*

BIG NEWS: The FDA just approved the first gene therapies to treat sickle cell disease. One of these is the first CRISPR treatment for any type of disease to be approved in the US.
Sickle cell disease is a life-threatening disease that disproportionately affects Black people. As with many conditions affecting marginalized communities, it hasn't received enough attention. Having new treatments is a huge step! We need to make them accessible to those who need it most.
Downtime after work - I just felt like drawing my moth girls.

photographer! Did you know if 65 people bought one of my $10 wallpaper bundles from ko-fi, or a 12$ print from my site per month, I could afford a bunch of basic necessities like food & transit? Why not help a Black photographer survive capitalism?

I can finally reveal some research I've been involved with over the past year or so.
We (@redford, @mrtick and I) have reverse engineered the PLC code of NEWAG Impuls EMUs. These trains were locking up for arbitrary reasons after being serviced at third-party workshops. The manufacturer argued that this was because of malpractice by these workshops, and that they should be serviced by them instead of third parties.

I try to keep the amount updated on both to better reflect everything
Polish hackers figured out that a train manufacturer had programmed its trains to break down after certain dates, or if they were serviced at another company's workshop.

The first fairy looked at the baby princess. "I give the gift of beauty."
The second fairy rolled their eyes. "This is my gift: you will always have the power you need."
"Damnit," the third fairy said. "I was going to give her a good voice, but now I must give her compassion."
