This tells us two things.

One, the US government will just eat up giant data sets even if they're not of any clear or direct utility. You can't assume "I will only be investigated if I'm suspected of a crime" or even "the US will only investigate me if I live in the US". You just need to be *literally in the same hemisphere* as someone suspected of a crime to get snooped on.

Two, the US GOV has had advanced deanonymization algorithms since 2007 and they have had 16 years to improve since then.

Basically, a good way to never trust "it's okay, the data is anonymized" again is simply knowing what the "Hemisphere Program" is.

In short, the US government got access to number from, number to, datetime, length and sometimes location information for every call passing through AT&T's network from 1987 to today.

Then they ran an algorithm to de-anonymize every burner phone based on behavior. They did this because maybe some of those burners were used by drug dealers.

If you missed Netanyahu's speech to US Congress, don't worry. I watched it so you don't have to.

New rule for software design discussions: if your argument for a design includes the words "the unix philosophy", your design is automatically rejected, with no appeal available.

If you mean a specific design goal, say what you mean. "The unix philosophy" has half a dozen definitions, unix never followed any of them religiously at all times, and has become shorthand for "I like this and don't feel like unpacking why".

Here’s what parenting can look like.

When I told my dad I was trans, my dad’s response was, “Oh! I can send you jewelry now!” (He was retired and made jewelry as a hobby).

Two days latter, I had a letter in the mail addressed to Joelle, the first time “Joelle” ever got mail, with a necklace in it. Later he made me this one. He told me, “I hope I got the colors right, I looked it up online.”

You don’t have to mourn a child transitioning. You can be the first to do so many affirming things.

Near Liverpool Street, London

the minigames for kitsune tails are all just plain lua files that live in the game's content folder so you could definitely use those to get started. eat your own dogfood and all that

but of course the game will also ship with proper documentation. we're not savages

people reading this be like "wow no wonder she's burned out"

anyway have a haunted heist screenshot. it's like if you combined wolf3d with decked out and pac man

surprise! i put a fantasy console in kitsune tails! not only can you use the free and open source tiled map editor to create custom levels, but you can create your own games in lua using the same simple framework we used ourselves for all the minigames in the game. this gif is me making a sample game i call "ghostzilla" from scratch

oh right, and we've prepared an arcade and over half a dozen minigames for you in the game. one's even 3D! check out the full trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EQkhejCoRs

can we get a moment of appreciation for the colors of the arcade's sign in town?
