For people who have a lot of dev boards: would you want a form factor that let you put them in a eurorack/modular case?
I honestly don't know how many other people have multiple dev boards floating around projects concurrently, or how many other people end up with "desk spaghetti" like me.

If you live in one of these 10 states (AZ, TX AR, MS, FL, GA, TN, KY, IN, OH), today is THE LAST DAY you can register to vote. Even if you think you're registered already, double check to see if your registration is still active. Please do this, it only takes a few minutes. Pass it on.

DMs on Bluesky will not be "end-to-end encrypted" until we are able to do some more protocol work.
We have very careful access controls within our systems.
If you're extremely privacy conscious, I'd recommend using Bluesky DMs to share your Signal accounts!

My hot take is that I wish Bluesky didn’t add native DMs, even as an upgrade path to future e2ee.
Granted, Bluesky devs+leadership have been absolutely crushing it and I don’t know what I’m talking about regarding social media feature roadmaps, so more power to them.

NY has held hundreds of people in prison past their release dates, sometimes adding years onto their prison sentences, under a law called the Sexual Assault Reform Act that legislators are too cowardly to alter or repeal. @chrisgelardi.bsky.social explains in @thenation.com/ @nysfocus.bsky.social:
They Were Supposed to Be Free. Why Are They Locked Up?
No one wants a person convicted of a sex offense in their neighborhood. So New York keeps them in prison long past their release dates.

This can't just be one of those things that people shrug off. Advertisers need to be asked, directly and repeatedly, why they're *funding* the distribution of CSAM. Because that's what they're doing.
