There is a giant mountain in the US carved with the faces of a couple of slavers, and two guys who tried to stop slavery. Now most Americans will stop right there and say, "wait, two? Lincoln did that though..." They'll say that because Americans don't know anything about their own history, including the fact that the practice of slavery remained central to the southern economy well through Roosevelt's administration. If this is not familiar to you (because, maybe, you were taught history in the US) and you'd like to actually learn about that, you might want to read "Slavery by Another Name."
But let's talk about half-slaver mountain for a minute. This mountain is functionally a sacred site for Americans, but it's literally a sacred site for Black Hills Sioux. Speaking of stolen land, did you know that JBLM (a military base in Washington state) is built on land promised the Puyallup in the Treaty of Medicine Creek before being stolen in 1918? I remember being taught that all the land was stolen a long time ago and now there's nothing we can do. Yeah, does anyone remember that DAPL was under Obama? In fact, unused federal lands are supposed to be returned to the tribes from which the land was taken but there's a whole site to auction off federal property... That's a whole section of the government dedicated to violating the Treaty of Fort Laramie.
They could just comply with the treaty, as they are legally obligated to do. These violations are ongoing. Slavery, again, is still legal. Slaves are still used by major corporations today, they just have to be tricked into confessing to a crime first. The sins that this country is built on remain fully active today... Because the system was built to preserve white supremacists patriarchy. How could the founding of the US not lead *directly* to Trump? How could this have been different, from the beginning?
But, please, tell me, how, exactly, are you going to fix that by voting harder in the mid terms. How?
"For a site that recently rose to prominence despite the calcified nature of the platform ecosystem [...] this is a crucial moment. Bluesky, some users feel, is failing to meet it."

I just noticed that theguardian.com is preferring to send image/jxl if it's in the Accept header (which it is in Safari). I don't think I'd noticed it on a mainstream site before?
Apparently this has been supported by fastly for more than a year now.

After more than 5 years I've finally written a post on my old blog because this post is longer. It's about my recent success of repurposing old hardware at the office to build a PC with two graphics cards. It hosts two virtual machines and each one has access to a dedicated Nvidia GPU.
With two monitors, mice and keyboards two people could even work on site at the same machine 😎 But this is primarily meant to provide remote desktops for I/O and editorial.
Two post updates this week (my site host is… chunking):
• https://adrianroselli.com/2024/02/techniques-to-break-words.html#Update05 adds a W3C video about text wrap:
🤔 Looking at this UI, Forem could probably implement ActivityPub at this point.
Every logo is a server. "Forem feed" = Federated timeline. "Follow" = follow and adding their Local timeline to my Following timeline? 🤔

Jimmy Wales isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but I enjoyed reading this interview about #Wikipedia in 2025: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/magaz…

"this fan site was born in january of 1995 and is dedicated to the sharing of public information about indigo girls."
I am going to keep whining about this for web sites. If you show ALL products then the default for the checklist is ALL items to be marked, not like the example. Second is STOP REFRESHING EVERY TIME I CLICK. Have a nice button that says 'REFRESH'.
Why? I want to see every maker EXCEPT HP! I should not have to click 6 options and wait for a refresh for each one.
Also, give us the option to select all and select none!
Like how hard is that?
Good Morning #Canada
Recent news may have some of you panicking with the announcement that AOL Dial Up Services will officially shut down on September 30th of this year. Yikes! But, the Canadian government has your backup plan as they attempt to provide high-speed internet services to 100% of Canadians by 2030. Current estimates put access at 94.5%, and the next target is 98% by the end of 2026.
I kinda miss the phone couplers, bragging about the size of my "Baud Rate," and the beep booping screeching announcement of going online. OK.... not really.

Hadn’t heard about this previously, but the people who are organizing the version local to me are definitely good folk whose judgment I trust: https://drawtheline.world
