The FAA quietly imposed a nationwide drone restriction that prevents filming ICE and other federal agents within half a mile. It’s an attack on the First Amendment. eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/faas…

Ugh, overslept, which isn't a big deal as I had to take today off. Getting to sleep was a challenge, but I mostly slept it through, I got up a little near 5, but mostly slept it through, but struggled to wake up. Still feeling like I'm struggling with that, but we've made and ate breakfast, though the cooking didn't go well, tried to flip the open face omelette to early, then got side tracked and over cooked the other side, then left the cheese on too long, almost made it crispy cheese. Edible, but subpar breakfast. Coffee doesn't seem to be helping with the sleepiness. Bleah, what kind of day can I look forward to?
For those who don't know, there's an IOS function that allows you to use your braille display or braille input device without having to worry about accidentally touching your screen and activating something you don't want. It's called touch curtain. To activate it using a braille display or braille input system like the orbit writer, press dots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and the space bar at the same time. An alert will appear telling you what screen curtain does. Press ok and it will activate for you, making your screen unable to use so that your braille display or braille input device can take over. #Blind

Anyone know how to run the MacOS binary of NVGT which you can download from it's github repo? I wanna try NVGT, but I want a later version than the one on the website which hasn't been updated since 2024. When I open it, it just says that it quit because of a problem, and tells me to contact the dev or something like that. #accessible #accessibility #audiogames #blind #nvgt
how long do friends wait before rotating SSH keys or do you ever rotate them? i dont think there's necessarily a need to with good security but i have also heard software dev packages / crates / external libraries can be compromised and steal SSH keys
People on Twitter are accusing Toby Fox of being racist because he... checks notes didn't want to translate Deltarune into a language he can't speak? And he doesn't want to bring a translator on board because he wouldn't be able to personally vet a translation... for a game that relies on subtleties in language to advance his particular vision I don't know, some people have too much time on their hands
Stretches, "Well, guess I'm up until… Dunno, woke up about 0130 to go to the bathroom, and kinda drifted in and out until 0315, and gave up. Wide awake, guess it means I've gone nocturnal again, or perhaps i've gone polyphasic, either way, we're up, eating breakfast (open faced Italian sausage omelet, taters and beans), and sorting things out. Bank account over drafted, oops, not like I don't have savings to cover it, just need to figure out what happened. I'd actually go do some work, but Amazon doesn't need any drivers at this time of night, nor do any of my other apps. Well, Roadie has(had?) a pharmacy order out of Granite City, but that's 20 miles away, and it paid like $30 for 35 miles from the pharmacy, so not exactly worth my time, especially as I have to be back here at 1000. So, what're y'all up to this chilly (15°C) morning?"
It's Thursday night and thus the start of our Easter holidays! Australia takes Easter very seriously, that and Christmas are the two biggest events in the calendar. Good Friday is a major public holiday and everything is closed. Most people have Easter Monday off as well but retail shops are open on a Saturday schedule and overtime rate.
“Shortly before…Trump was set to address the American people on Wednesday night, Iran declared that it would agree to end the war only if there was regime change in the United States. “The United States is a rogue state led by an unstable ruler,” the Iranian statement read. “Such a madman must not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.” The…ultimatum drew…strong support from Greenland, Canada, and the rest of NATO.” (The Borowitz Report) borowitzreport.com/p/iran-agre… #satire #trump #usa #iran
I don’t know if it’s a bug or an april fools joke they haven’t disabled yet but cartes.app is currently truncating the first letter out of every location name and I’ve been giggling like an idiot for 5 minutes

Well, this has been a rough month for March of the Covers, no idea why I had so much trouble staying on top of it. I think next year may be the last one I do, simply because I'm struggling to come up with a month's worth of covers, heck, this might wind up being the last one, we'll just have to see. Any how, for this last one, how about The Donnas cover Bachman-Turner Overdrive on Rolling Down the Highway? From the soundtrack of Herbie Fully Loaded, a dog of a movie (they managed to release two bad Herbie movies months apart, one an ABC family movie with a great cast and crap story, and this one with a crap cast and an almost good story, the original story badly updated to modern times really). Well, at least it gave us a good soundtrack.
What is it with boorus and being dicks on April 1? Deripibooru just got deleted for their annoying bullshit they decided on for this year, last year it was e621 pulling that shit and I deleted them.
Last year, the federal government said Canada Post would be allowed to end door-to-door mail delivery to individual addresses and close or convert some post offices.
Ok, I think the end of the US is coming, it'll break up and become smaller countries. I think I want my area to declare itself to be the Alliance of North American States. Yep, I want to proudly tell everyone I live in ANAS
The level of transmisogyny I get at work is totally ridiculous. I can't avoid all the men who hurt me anymore because they're scheduled for the entire work week. One calls me slurs, one threatened me, and one SAd me- HR refuses to do anything. Anyone wanna hire me 😭

Police Chief Kurt Frisz said a total of 10 officers will undergo an online, self-paced training that gives them quicker access to ICE in order to determine the status of individuals found without legal status.

I just found out a couple of days ago that here in my city, they would be unfurling the largest trans flag in the world for TDOV! I decided to go, and took the drone with me. Turns out they didn't have anyone else flying a drone, so I was able to get this video of the unfurling for them! qnews.com.au/brisbane-unveils-… #tdov #transpride #trans #transgender #transflag
EroticMusings 2026.03.29 — Week 44 (March 29-April 4) Culture: Is there an aspect of culture or political stance that shapes most or all of your erotica? CW: Sexual and moral politics
Sensitive content
Feminism. Ethics. I'm anti-patriarchy, which is the use of oppression of women to enslave half the population in order to steal their property and rights. Morals are not ethics. Morals masquerade as ethics, but are arbitrary rules created to keep those in power in power and the rest of us unquestioningly loyal or enslaved, and to create new generations of unquestioning loyal and enslaved. Gender roles mandate conformity; they validate bullying and hate to enforce that conformity. I'm of the opinion that humans are programmed by evolution to want to reproduce, and if they want to do so, especially with the technology to deal with the downsides of disease and unwanted pregnancy, nothing should stand in the way of choice with consent. Technology means humans can be more than brutish animals; society needs to stop reducing us to brutish animals in the name of something arbitrarily "natural" or self-servingly moral. Attraction and preference is something every person discovers for themself. Others to fighting someone else' choice and preferences is at best bullying. Technology again obviates downsides, as above, so long as there is consent. Sexual shame is a terrorist tool.
As you may guess, what's spicy in my stories is influenced by my views as expressed above. I celebrate humans being human. Doesn't mean my characters are perfect, but their imperfection is a different kind of stupid.
Sooo, my company have opened up for volunteer redundancies, if anyone needs or is hiring for a senior dotnet/python/rust dev who's entire personality is "I like making cool things work", I'm open
Some of my highlight include
- I wrote the entire train driver licencing management system for all of Great Britain, on my own, in a few weeks, with a completely unfamiliar stack
- Successfully defended the aforementioned project directly to the cabinet office when they blocked it and allowed it to continue to be deployed
- Once built a 64 bit computer in vanilla Java Minecraft (no command blocks)
- Worked on nuclear, medical, and autonomous driving systems, cannot talk about this too much, but this does mean I can absolutely talk your ear off about the importance of strict vigilance in software engineering
Whoops, was so busy on so many things yesterday that we forgot to post a song. While the movie Black Dog was crap, the soundtrack was awesome, lots of great covers on their, but today we're focusing on Rhett Akins cover of Eddie Rabbit's Drivin' My Life Away.

-Mastodon.cloud's admin hasn't posted since Feb 2023 -There doesn't seem to be any moderation, really awful bigotry is still there months after being reported -The server software is very outdated and full of unpatched security holes -Because of all the above, many other servers have defederated mastodon.cloud
I'm genuinely surprised that it can still still survive in this zombie state. A lot of Wordpress and similar sites have pretty quickly attracted from the hosting or co-location company's interest after enough reports have been filed against it for objectionable concept or it just being a trojan payload sharing site.
I don't know, but generally when something web based gets pwned hard enough, sysadmins typically start to raise stink about it. If I spot port scanners or obvious stuff being run against the systems I maintain, I might fire an e-mail to their ISP's abuse address, depending on where they from. With China, Russia etc. I don't bother, US and Europe likely, the Nordics, very likely.

As if we needed any more evidence showing just how deep and thoroughly corrupted the Trump administration is. It’s an endless cycle of self-serving actions, pushed forward by bigots, grifters…
Ooops, guess I'm re-inventorying the comics, was trying to figure out how to remove some of the books and accidentally erased them all. 11000 comics… This is going to be a project to redo. Oh well, was already thinking of doing it as some books turned up around the library when I first did it, and around the house while doing the books, so things are a bit of a mess. Plus I used existing boxes, so I have a fair number of long boxes, it'd prolly be good to use only short boxes as there's already more of those. I think I'll be giving the graphic novels to the book buyers, they might not give me much for them, but with the scale of the collection, most shops won't give me much either, prolly 50¢/book, maybe 75¢ if I'm lucky, so its not like it'll hurt me, and it'll let me thin the collection down, prolly not enough to make a difference, but we'll see.
Giggles, "Some mentions of Star Trek on my timeline made me dig this video out. I don't think this is the one I originally saw, that included the sixth movie, but this is still a good video."
