  “But they remained publicly silent. It was a silence born of fear-fear of social, political, and economic reprisals. The ultimate tragedy of Birmingham was not the brutality of the bad people, but the silence of the good people.” https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/publications/autobiography-martin-luther-king-jr/chapter-18-birmingham-campaign

  @schwa There seems to be a rise in people surfacing who can do or choose to do what people don’t normally do as a way to gain power: unending eye contact, no embarrassment or shame, forcing others to look away or stop pressing or just not want to meet the friction.

  Not that you ever have anything figured out, but 9/11 happening when I was 24 years old was certainly a pivotal time, coming when I was settling in to an adult, working life. The appalling political aftermath galvanized my views on a lot of things & was the true boundary between the 20th and 21st centuries. Living & working adjacent to NYC, then moving to DC within the next couple years, felt like a front row seat to much of it. IDK what the point of this post is other than all t...

  Excited to be attending #teardown2026 here in Portland as usual. So lucky to have such a great conference and community right here at home. And major kudos to @helenleigh already for the work.

  Come to this August 8! I'm *probably* going to bring my 1989 computer running a web editor, server, and browser again. https://pdx.social/@courtney/116977135325109506

  Sorry to those affected by the wildfire smoke. It sucks. Real bad. Last year one of the times it hit us was my mom’s visit, when we had all sorts of summer outdoor plans. At least it’s making national news now.

  @schwa I think Messages is more likely to happen first, despite being E2EE. Look at the “someone shared this link with you” that integrates with a top banner in Safari.

  Getting on the road today for a van camping trip up through Yakima area and a show at the Gorge Amphitheater (in George, WA) this weekend before rounding the way back to Seattle mid-week. Doing the talk next Thursday’s at Seattle @Xcoders on @swiftlang result builders and the swift-parsing project! 🏔️🚐💨

  Made it to George, WA after camping last night in Yakima Canyon and a quick, steep hike this morning. Today, the festival setup is hard to beat.

  A friend of mine is starting up an aspirationally-monthly computer art salon, an evening of discussion for computer enthusiasts and artists. As it says, the intersection of code, art, hardware, and society. Planning on going next Tuesday, maybe showing, you should too! https://clipdx.com/arthack/

  @cabel@social.panic.com My partner and I were in The Netherlands in late 2023 and found ourselves needing some very late 'second dinner' food after adventures and thus stopped into the McDonalds in Delft. We'd never seen the 'Delicious Burgers' decor before and assumed it was maybe a European-market thing. So, not a full selfie, but something!

  @mattcomi@hachyderm.io Used to admin CVS repos. Concatenating versions of files together in one file was an abomination!

  @gedeonm@mastodon.social Sorry for your loss. 😢

  @gedeonm@mastodon.social I’m always a little sad to lose cool visas though, this time it was China and last time it was Russia, Turkey, and Malaysia.
