We’re going to court TOMORROW to defend the digital rights of all libraries! Library Futures will be hosting a live blog during oral argument and a live discussion afterwards. Here's how to participate: http://blog.archive.org/2023/03/17/heres-how-to-participate-in-mondays-oral-arguments/

CVE-2023-21036 / acropalypse is absolutely bonkers.

Apparently for 5+ years the cropping / editing tools for screenshots on Google Pixel phones was only overwriting the start of the screenshot PNG file, but not truncating.

All screenshots shared for the past 5+ years might have data recoverable from them. Demo available at https://acropalypse.app/

Google still hasn't communicated anything on this.

Hey folks I'm starting a podcast with my friends. I'd really appreciate honest feedback about the episode we've made so far. Three non-binary trans women talk about navigating life, family, and finding joy. How can we improve? Is there something you'd like to see from us? Thanks 💞

Wrote down my notes on a #paper titled "On Nonscalability: The Living World Is Not Amenable to Precision-Nested Scales" by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing: https://asletaiwan.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/On-nonscalability.pdf

The text contrasts the concept of scalability, as used mostly in industrial and economic systems, with something she coins called non-scalability, focusing on relationships between system elements, and then explains why she believes this framing can prove useful.

Just rolled out an update for Substitoot, my #Firefox addon that transparently fetches up to date replies from remote Mastodon servers.

It's still missing a few major features (and a Chrome port) but I certainly makes the experience better for me. Perhaps you should check it out too:

I've lost about 10% of my income from the whole GitHub dropping paypal thing, and it's still trending down, so if you'd like to sponsor me that would be awesome 💜
