The Discord age verification discourse focuses on adults losing access to communities they have a right to access. That's important.
I'm also worried, though, about the kids. They seem to be an afterthought in these conversations. They have much to lose too. 🧵 www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...
Is Mozilla trying hard to kill itself? 17 de dezembro de 2025 In an interview with “The Verge”, the new Mozilla CEO, Enzor-DeMeo, IMHO hints that axing adblockers is something that, at the very least, was on the table in some form and at some point. From the article: "He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that’d bring in another $150 million, but he doesn’t want to do that. It feels off-mission." It may be just me, but I read this as “I don't want to 😜 😜 but I'll kill AdBlockers in Firefox for buckerinos 😂”. This disappoints and saddens me a lot, and I hope I'm wrong.
The new Mozilla CEO says he could block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that it would bring in another $150 million, but he doesn't want to do that. Lmao. This guy has really lost the plot. Is he issuing threats to the users of an open source project? Boy, what a disaster
Courage Doesn’t Scale
It has been frustrating, to say the least, to watch many of the big Silicon Valley tech firms bow down to Trump and do his bidding, especially when it directly contradicts things they’ve said and done in the past. I’ve tried to explain to tech company execs why this doesn’t…
Some additions: other traffic and vehicle related measurements, like maximum clearance heights and vehicle mileages; milk when distributed in certain containers; weights of precious metals.
Imperial measurements are also a useful way to convey an approximate measurement.
We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

If you run a story that turns out to be true the following day, do you take it down?
Made myself a little drawing challenge for January. This isn't supposed to be a taxing/difficult thing, just something to get me drawing more in 2025.
Feel free to share, take part, or ignore at your leisure.
Features a surprise @zekashu.bsky.social
It's December, so here are a collection of end of year digital housekeeping tasks you can do while chilling out for the holidays in order to improve your privacy and security for entering 2024 on a good footing. You don't have to do all of them, but they're stuff to consider!
This is the approach I would take, it also makes it easy to distinguish the case of drawing two cursed arrows (1-2) from the case of only getting one cursed arrow (3-7). Because presumably that matters.
Have you tried automating the engineering meetings?

I think it was the eyelines that were confusing me. Both eyes felt like they were looking toward the centre of her face, but now I'm seeing maybe they're both looking forward and we just can't see the right side of the left eye or the left side of the right eye...
At first I thought she was looking out contemplatively at the cosmos, but she's actually trying to see something on her forehead?
Axe Cop!

Should be -4095? Still large though.
I'm not sure that these companies will have the best aligned incentives here, which means that a lot of public funds get spent policing, possibly litigating, what they do with that investment and how efficiently they do it. Might be better if other groups could bid for that funding instead?
But the guy in red doesn't look right to me at all. Something about the proportions: arm length to finger length to leg length. Maybe a trick of the perspective?
I feel the picture on the right is less "posed". It's posed in the sense that she's standing for a picture, but not posed like a marketing photo. The pictures on the left feel more like the latter. But I'm not sure if that adds much to the AI-ness of it all.
