Holy shit. TIL that Janet Jackson is the only Grammy-winning artist with a CVE.
CVE-2022-38392 indicates that playing Rhythm Nation near certain hard drives will cause a crash, because the song contains a resonate frequency with a 5400RPM spinning disk of a certain diameter and construction.
Neat.
Todd C. Miller has been maintaining the #sudo codebase for over 30 years. This is exactly one of those cases where an entire critical infrastructure is held together by the work of a single volunteer who apparently can’t find anyone willing to sponsor him for some financial support. #opensource #linux #foss #GNU
Yesterday I wondered aloud why RSS readers look like email clients.
@brentsimmons replied. Turns out he borrowed that layout for NetNewsWire in 2002 — and twenty years later, he's asking why no one's tried something different.
That conversation became an essay. I built a visual version (with an ASCII fallback).
Faergi is locally known as a frog-speaker.
That's not in reference to some arcane system of totemic symbology. He literally talks to amphibians. There are several species of tree frog (sadly extinct now at his latitude) whose secretions he finds useful in his elixirs, but it would be very rude of him to take a scraping without consulting them first.
He uses his staff to gently ferry them down from their branches to a level where the two of them can chat more easily. Sometimes they do say no, in which case he equally gently places them back where he found them.

@toroidalcore It'd be great for medical research honestly! So many different breakthroughs would be needed in so many areas that would all have potential medical use! Plus dragons!
Mastodon server admins, important news!
The Mastodon developers are going to stop suggesting mastodon.social as a "default server".
Instead, the "default" server suggestions are going to be ones for a user's language and/or geographical location.
If your server matches these:
- General public server
- Running vanilla Mastodon
- Mastodon Covenant compliant
- Have existed for 1+ year
- Have shut-down & disaster plans
...then see this post for details: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115989802617165343

Today's Muppet GIF of the Day is dedicated to the memory of Catherine O'Hara, whose illustrious acting career included providing the voice for Leader on Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock.
almost three weeks ago, my girlfriend and i were violently abducted by ICE. since then, I have been doxxed by Pam Bondi, and I am concerned for my safety. posting publicly about this is obviously a decision I had to weigh carefully, but I am hoping more good comes of it than bad.

I'll be delivering her at Furnal Equinox, and hopefully debuting @PurplePest at the same time.
See the following announcement on the apparently official website:
https://novalauncher.com/nova-is-here-to-stay
The announcement states that #Nova Launcher has been purchased by a new owner. In theory, development should now be resumed. In practice, whether or not the change is going to work out remains to be seen. However, it does at least seem to be a genuine change.
For what it's worth, I'm testing the Lawnchair #Launcher as an alternative. Lawnchair isn't a full Nova Launcher clone, but I like it so far and it's FOSS. So, the software is both free and unlikely to disappear. The link for Lawnchair is:
