My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

This is the first time in my career I've had to email a lawyer before kicking off a test run.

Just a reminder that the names of your bibtex citations get included in the PDF (both as the link anchor name and in the metadata), so if you name a paper `morons_who_copied_us`, reviewers and readers will be able to see that...

Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳
The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.
(Those who want the technical details can see the Pull Request at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/32615)

A fun thing with vulnerability writeups is to watch the (cloud-based) issue trackers of affected companies come in as referers :)

Concept:
Software to produce a short looping animation that can be printed on a circle of paper the size of a vinyl album
The animation is visible if you play the record at the standard speed and set a strobe light to a certain frequency and position it so that it only illuminates the bottom 1/8

My package has now been in 4 separate logistics centers over the course of 3 days and it is still not dispatched for delivery. I have never had an InPost package take this silly of a route. I actually looked through my package history and practically all the packages I've ever ordered through them would get dispatched for delivery after a maximum of 2 logistics centers within 2 working days. How do you even find 4 separate logistics centers between any 2 points in Poland?? The country isn't that big-

My latest newsletter is about J.J. Abrams' famous "Mystery Box" TED Talk, in which he claimed "mystery is more important than knowledge."
Our politics are all Mystery Box now. It's all rabbit holes and conspiracy theories, all the way down. The Mystery Box ate our world.

TfL found my lost wallet 3 months after I lost it and now I'm dealing with the hilarity of trying to get it delivered to an address in Northern Ireland and then discovering that (1) this requires a customs declaration THANKS BREXIT and (2) they can't ship credit cards and well yes I do not have an emotional attachment to my cancelled credit cards can you just take those out please but leave the other ones and oh no why is this so complicated

Today I learned https://www.startrekdesignproject.com has high-rez versions of most of the logos to appear on Star Trek. Including some great ones from Lower Decks.
(These are printed in crappy PLA, to be clear, so I'm testing pretty much the worst case in terms of mechanical strength, relying entirely on the design)

So far I have 5 bins stacked on top of each other on my desk, with the topmost bin containing a few heavy boxes of screwdriver and drill bits. The tower still seems perfectly stable! And I'm not seeing any kind of wear or fatigue marks on any of the stacking nets.
