Every time there's a Neovim update, I'm glad that I can remove options and mappings, since the more sensible defaults get upstreamed. https://gpanders.com/blog/whats-new-in-neovim-0.10/.

Being able to see the AST of anything you're working on is maybe more useful for editing configuration files (and debugging them) or using some Lisp language than my daily work on TypeScript (and evening on Rust).

Modifiers for terminals landing is excellent! Mapping Q to re-play the last macro is great!

This could solve an issue for federated identity for the Fediverse!

Consent does not exist on the Internet. Or in networked applications. The fact of the matter is that the Internet was made for a set of purposes and, despite the public's attempt to shape it into something familiar, its bones still lean into archival and surveillance.

It would definitely give groups like the NRA and ADL a trip (once more people use something like this to invoke a tax-backed "hunt" for terrorists).

It takes me "so long" to read things. I'm only halfway through Supa Dupa Skies by Logic(s) whereas I've finished two copies of In These Times. In the case of Supa Dupa Skies, the essay, Origin Stories, was what I first opened up to and blew my mind. That led me to starting Accounting for Slavery, a book that I still haven't finished but from reading the references gives me very little hope for the field of management (given its shared history with the industry/system of policing, IMO). I like "jumping around" like this because it's within a domain I have a lot of interest in and keeps things interested. Note taking has helped me context-switch and as well as — and I only started this about three years ago — writing about what you've read from each chapter. Might be more obvious to college heads but this has improved both my recall but also my ability to pick up where I left off at. I still want to make some of my notes semi-public but that's for the future.

The most notable point of this bill is this phrase " a terrorist or terrorist-supporting organization within the prior three years". This would pull this status from organizations that support political prisoners if the state considers them to be a terrorist. Or anyone who's been protesting the war on Palestine.

LMFAO Apple "apologized" for breaking your local middle school's piano but still will be working to replace everything in your school with it (and locking out other schools that can't afford it). https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/apple-apologizes-for-ad-that-crushes-the-sum-total-of-human-artistic-endeavor/

The bodycam era was the best thing to happen to the news because it removed the ability of citizens to report things; it returned the authority of the narrative back to the state. On par with corporate security footage being used over civilian or independent reports.

https://www.blackagendareport.com/rise-militarized-policing-response-black-dissent put me onto how much COINTELPRO was so hell-bent on making sure its internal colony of Africans could not self-actualize in a meaningful way.

By 1970 fully 70% of the FBI COINTELPRO operations were aimed at Black organizations, from the non-violent SCLC led by Dr. King to SNCC, CORE, and the Black Panther Party (BPP). Ultimately, the majority of the 70% of COINTELPRO operations that focused on Black groups and Black leaders collectively were directed exclusively at the BPP. Why was this?

I'm ringing a bell that we all heard before by now but this closing line is one to close the day on:

The confirmed range for the size of these “Cop City” projects is as low as a 3,500 square foot structure on 3 acres to a 366,000 square foot village on 146 acres. The largest being planned did not include details on the actual facility, but the proposed site is a whopping 800 acres. Historically, a basic prerequisite for autocratic Fascist rule is a national militarized police force, backed by an all-pervasive civilian police intelligence apparatus with a singular national Database. It hasn’t been a long time coming but corporate America and its political power structure have fashioned a police state under cover of a spurious “electoral college” democracy and chauvinistic white nationalism. It’s called Democratic Fascism.

X-Men '97 is WILD and we got the last episode of Season 1 next week. NGL this season has been a lot but DAMN.

First time in a while I've seen a hosting service explictly mention Publii, via https://pages.casa/. I think https://getpublii.com/ has the right idea and is missing a few parts. Having it the act of hosting something — or even producing Web content be similar to document processing (or vector graphic creation) is where I feel we need to be moving the open Web. Making it work with ActivityPub seems doable too with more demonstration of static-site ActivityPub solutions (or one even going as far as adding a thin layer for compatible static sites to make it operate like an AP site).

Is there a site where I can see which lobbyists have funded who across the United States? https://www.myfloridahouse.gov/LD/default.aspx?lyi=11&tci=-1 gives me stuff for Florida, as a first party source.
