ICE chillingly echo UK's Mahmood in using tech data to maximise surveillance of citizens

I blame novelists: it's only in prose that we get the illusion of telepathy, of being inside the mind of another. No wonder novelistic tales of political transformation focus on the moral fortitude of individual leaders.
The problem is, it's a destructive lie.

I'm #colorblind and I use xkcd.com/color/rgb/ frequently.
Randall 'xkcd' Monroe did a survey of over 100,000 readers where he showed them random rgb colors and said "what would you call this?" and afterwards he did his best to sort the results into the most popular color names and the colors they refer to.
It's like a box of Crayola for the internet. Finally, my colorblind self can grab a sample of "dark magenta" that doesn't just look like "grape purple" to everyone else.
The data is freely available as a .txt file under CC0, which I've converted into a .css file here: git.hatspace.net/nycki/nycki.n…
so now when I want a color on my website I can just write `color: var(--xkcd-off-white)` or so on. it's really convenient 😀

My biggest concern about leaving Facebook and Twitter (years ago now) was losing touch with my friends. As it turns out, my actual friends made the effort to stay in touch via other means, the rest were people who pretty much only communicated via likes and emojis.
Those people aren't your friends. They're just internet acquaintance that you exchange compliments with. You'll be fine without them, trust me.

We are excited to be partnering with Meta to build a direct integration for Meta smart glasses using their new Wearables Device Access Toolkit.
This upcoming integration is designed to support a more seamless Explorer experience, with features like GPS continuity, photo capture, and more comprehensive in-call support.
This integration will be available for both IOS and Android, and we are working hard to ensure it functions as expected before rolling it out to the full Explorer community. Internal testing is underway, with a closed beta test to follow.
More updates to come, stay tuned!

My wife is a descendant of Polish Jews. But even if she weren't, I would take the Holocaust personally, because of our shared humanity. We should all take it personally. Today, we remember all the groups targeted for genocide, both past and present. And we grieve for humanity.
