Tech ethics is only useful for people who already want tech to support the good life.

It is irredeemably useless as a governance mechanism.

Only high level bits. I'll put together something much better but the next few weeks are pretty intense.

This is part of what inspired me to revive my old Kill PDF project ๐Ÿ˜ There's a lot of scholarly workflows that assume files, I could see this tied to @chive.pub docs, would be quite exciting.

Just last week I was in the queue for a club for over an hour and this guy just waltzes up to the bouncer, shows him his eurosky handle, and is let right in.

When the pain hits, I would love to hear from all the people who've been pushing hard to delay our energy transition.

The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise.
We were the hosts.
I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless.
The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president.
The attack by the US submarine was
premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind.
The US has ignored India's sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India's invitation.
We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack.
Our"responsibility" is at a moral and human plane.
A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

Some context to the Iranian boat that was targeted by US off Sri Lanka coast

Same, I've been wondering when someone will write a self-replicating piece of poetry that will recursively have the agents drive one another, DoS all the things. Can't be far off!

I'm not sure that this is a tile use case, they might not solve *everything* ๐Ÿ˜‰ (But maybe I didn't understand what you have in mind?)

I would have hoped the Web Share API would have solved this...

Mac or Linux user with homebrew? Check out atpcid:

1. brew install ngerakines/tap/atpcid
2. echo '{"text": "hello world"}' | atpcid --

Seems simple right? There's more, but first big thanks to @knowtheory.net and @filippo.abyssdomain.expert for working through some fun ATProtocol workflows.

A chat interface with a user, list of rooms, and main area. The main area shows a couple of entries and editor, but instead of being regular chat they're for Bluesky-style content.

Oh, super cool โ€” look at what I was just hacking on. It's Matrix rooms that can be configured to accept an AT lexicon instead of `m.*` content (since it's all NSID anywayโ€ฆ). It's vibecoded crap for exploration but it feels like this opens really cool doors.

@dasl/tiles - npmx All-purpose web tiles library

A new minor release of @dasl/tiles. This adds support in `atile` for writing tiles to local .tile files that can then be read in a tile viewer, emailed around, etc.

Imagine PDF except a lot more powerful and it doesn't suck. More forthcoming! ๐Ÿ˜˜

Sanchez, as Europe's conscience, reminds us we do have leverage Merz, as Europe's capitulator, sat in silent acquiescence while Trump threatened Spain with embargo. Spain's expulsion of the US military shows the power Germany has but refuses to wield.

Trump's furious reaction to Sanchez not allowing Spanish territory to be used to stage the war on Iran exposes an uncomfortable truth for European leaders like Merz.

Europe has leverage over Trump if they dared deny him use of their territory to wage global war. And ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ชhas helped with the attack on๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท.
