Hi folks! I’m trying to keep a family housed this week. They are facing eviction and needs to raise $800 (about £650) by April 10. We appreciate any support you can provide so that this family can remain housed. Even $5 is so helpful. Campaign is fully vetted.

ChuffedSave Devastated Families in Jabalia, GazaAlthough the war has ended, the suffering has not. In fact, it has worsened with the continued siege and the reclosure of border crossings. In Jabalia, northern Gaza, several families who have lost everything—their homes, their livelihoods, and even the ability to provide food and water for their children—are struggling to survive. With extreme shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, daily life has become even more unbearable than the war itself.

Internet discourse is like "your world view is wong and it's obviously because you don't understand what I'm saying, if you did we'd have the same ideology."

No my guy, sometimes people just have different outlooks.

What would be funny would be to see the countries with titanium (read: not the U.S.) ban exporting titanium to the U.S. as retaliation for tariffs.

Not hiking the price, just straight out ban. Boy, that would be fun.

What stage of capitalism is it when companies report record profits, wealth inequity grows, and taxes are cut on corporations and the wealthy while the WSJ suggests you could save money by starving yourself and your family?

Ah the dates for the Apple WW developer’s presentation have been announced. Eagerly awaiting the unnecessary daily release of videos instead of just doing so all at once.

(It’s not a fucking conference, it’s a week-long presentation with nothing live other than the Keynote and maaaaaybe the other first day stuff.)

If you look at the systems that are supposed to be used for classified communications, the underlying cryptography isn’t particularly different from Signal (the AES cipher can be used to protect classified material). That’s not what failed here.

The difference is that systems like Signal are designed to *facilitate* communication with anyone. Classified systems are designed to *limit* communication to authorized recipients.

Both are sensible for their respective - very different - purposes.

A script to dump data out of the macOS logging system: github.com/johncwelch/Get-ULSD It creates a series of .tsv files, one per subsystem. I like TSVs, they're easy to import into Excel, sifting data is a thing Excel is kind of good at.

Once again, the only veterans this country has ever loved are dead ones. We’re cheaper that way, more convenient.

Infosec ExchangeBrianKrebs (@briankrebs@infosec.exchange)Not a single Republican is going to say anything about POTUS's shameful treatment of veterans? Especially those most in need? All cowards. This is hard to read without wincing, and it's an utter disgrace for the United States to treat its veterans this way. "Late in February, as the Trump administration ramped up its quest to transform the federal government, a psychiatrist who treats veterans was directed to her new workstation — and was incredulous." "She was required, under a new return-to-office policy, to conduct virtual psychotherapy with her patients from one of 13 cubicles in a large open office space, the kind of setup used for call centers. Other staff might overhear the sessions, or appear on the patient’s screen as they passed on their way to the bathroom and break room." "The psychiatrist was stunned. Her patients suffered from disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Treating them from her home office, it had taken many months to earn their trust. This new arrangement, she said, violated a core ethical tenet of mental health care: the guarantee of privacy." "When the doctor asked how she was expected to safeguard patient privacy, a supervisor suggested she purchase privacy screens and a white noise machine. “I’m ready to walk away if it comes to it,” she wrote to her manager, in a text message shared with The New York Times. “I get it,” the manager replied. “Many of us are ready to walk away.” "Scenes like this have been unfolding in Veterans Affairs facilities across the country in recent weeks, as therapy and other mental health services have been thrown into turmoil amid the dramatic changes ordered by President Trump and pushed by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency." "Among the most consequential orders is the requirement that thousands of mental health providers, including many who were hired for fully remote positions, now work full time from federal office space. This is a jarring policy reversal for the V.A., which pioneered the practice of virtual health care two decades ago as a way to reach isolated veterans, long before the pandemic made telehealth the preferred mode of treatment for many Americans." "As the first wave of providers reports to offices where there is simply not enough room to accommodate them, many found no way to ensure patient privacy, health workers said. Some have filed complaints, warning that the arrangement violates ethics regulations and medical privacy laws. At the same time, layoffs of at least 1,900 probationary employees are thinning out already stressed services that assist veterans who are homeless or suicidal." "In more than three dozen interviews, current and recently terminated mental health workers at the V.A. described a period of rapid, chaotic behind-the-scenes change. Many agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity because they want to continue to serve veterans, and feared retribution from the Trump administration." "Clinicians warn that the changes will degrade mental health treatment at the V.A., which already has severe staffing shortages. Some expect to see a mass exodus of sought-after specialists, like psychiatrists and psychologists. They expect wait times to increase, and veterans to eventually seek treatment outside the agency." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/us/politics/veterans-affairs-mental-health-doge.html

I cannot articulate how much of a UI fuckup this whole “press a single letter or digit and the web app/page completely changes”

It is particularly bad in confluence, but it is a blight wherever it is used.

Speed does not equal progress. And movement is not the same as meaning.

In fact, some of the most important parts of life only become visible when we slow down long enough to notice them.
