npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock You know about the Cipherling? Mine just showed up last week.
npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock I made progress today on the web-cam I've been setting up on my terrace. Here's the first three hours' output. I haven't yet started the putting-them-up-online-automatically phase of the project. I'm planning to do each day as a 15-second movie, and also twenty-four 15-second movies which show the course of the year, one frame per day, each frame from the same hour of the day. So, a fifteen-second movie of all of the noons of the year, for instance. npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock I've been taking the opportunity to recommend that friends watch Alex Cox's _Walker_.
npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock Huh. Is there more I should be reading than this?

npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock There's a contractor's lien on the white house:
npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock Renault offers 15% retail cost cut in exchange for 10-15 year moratorium on safety requirements. Not sure what to think about that. Do we already have too many automobile safety requirements? I don't think anyone would argue that car prices are high now...but too high? And is this risk/reward sufficient?
npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock It's interesting that, as DNS has become a more and more specialized discipline, governments and banks and some large enterprise recognize this, and respond by either building the necessary expertise internally, or contracting for that expertise... yet a lot of the largest tech companies just keep blundering forward like it's 1999.
npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock I agree with @npub1vq8…cdzl, this is a situation where it's better to think pragmatically about the long-term, and choose the technologically correct solution, rather than compromising in the short term, and choosing Mr. Right Now, when Mr. Right Now is a for-profit walled-garden owned by someone else, whose purpose is to monetize your users.
npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock Errr.... I've never been involved with the app development side of things. If you email [email protected] someone should be able to answer, though. Sorry not to be more helpful. npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock Hi, @npub19ua…53cv If you have any questions (any _more specific_ questions, I'm biased on the "is it good" one), I'm happy to answer as best I can. npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock https://www.404media.co/wikipedia-pauses-ai-generated-summaries-after-editor-backlash/ npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock I have to admit that "watching Z80 fundamentalist zealots come out of the woodwork to institute a pogrom" wasn't on my 2025 bingo card.

npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock More Kickstarter hijinks. This is a little like the Cards Against Humanity folks... actual previous Kickstarter successes under their belt, this is, on the one hand, ridiculous, but is also completely feasible, if people want it. And, I guess, people do:

Got a "Signal wants to update itself, click to reload" message, clicked, authenticated, it re-launched and the OS blocked it for an invalid code signature. Went and downloaded a clean copy from the web site, and that's what the second comparison is. npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock Well now. Signal just wanted a new version installed. I didn't think too much about it, and then: npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock Wow, a few of those, and you could run an AI to generate funny cat pictures. Or mine bitcoin!

Ex-battery.
npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock Oh, ho ho!!! You're in for a treat, then! Start with _Drowning by Numbers_!
npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock Yeah, watch the movie. I _am_ a Baz Luhrmann fan, and it's not my favorite of his movies, but I really liked it. My favorite Bad Luhrmann movie is definitely Peter Greenaway's _Prospero's Books_. :-) npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock Nancy King's 1994 cover is my favorite version, but the original is great! npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock https://ladybird.org FTW! npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock More bad news from the Ford patent-mill:

npub1lhtepcvgjls6pfcqzntcmdk756ssttlzvm504fxmdrx5y8fplqkss6n69r Bill Woodcock Wow! Wow. If I weren't right in the middle of Paris, I would so get this!!!
