I have this feeling whenever I put a score on screen in a lecture and it has the bassoons labeled in something other than English

“And by the way if you did it in Britain and no one else did it, you would basically kill the AI industry in this country overnight” — love how he's also trying to play on nationalistic fears to argue that you gotta let British companies keep using people's work w/o permission

This article describes it in more depth, but I want to focus on a few things. First, when you build infrastructure like this and create new jobs/pensions for right-wing unions, it's hard to ever remove them. This new gestapo could become a permanent feature of our lives. www.wola.org/analysis/160...

Third, the United States will be flooded with new armed agents that are virtually unaccountable. The legal and institutional mechanisms by which any of them could be held accountable are almost non-existent, either in criminal or civil court.

Second, the Bill sets the stage for massive privatized, for-profit concentration camps. It will quadruple the capacity of ICE to detain people--giving it capacity to detain, in for-profit arrangements where corporations make money per person per day, at least 100,000 more people.

The bill provides for $160 billion in border and immigration funding in the next 4.5 years. It's difficult to describe the unprecedented scope of this, but I'll try: tens of thousands of armed agents in every corner of society are going to be virtually immune from state prosecution or civil suits.

I've mostly been leaning toward SearXNG. I'll go to searx.space and search for my country in the country field to get something that's nearby
I added a few instances to the Firefox search bar, and I switch between them as needed for best performance
I also occasionally use Startpage/DuckDuckGo

On macOS/Firefox, at least, you can press F6 to select everything in the address bar, and on Fennec (fork of Firefox for Android) you can just hold down on the address bar and it will give the option to copy to clipboard without needing to manually select everything

Not only do I copy and paste them, but I make sure to strip out any tracking parameters too

Very cool! I was recently talking about that score in the film/game scoring class I teach, so it jumped out at me

I love it! Is that a Vertigo quote in there?

For the <blockquote> styling, I currently have the quote marks for :before absolutely positioned, with the <blockquote> explicitly set to relative
If people have a better suggestion to get the layout I'm using without any absolute positioning, I would love to know!

The wikilinks plugin (github.com/photogabble/...) I mentioned above is helping a lot with the Obsidian -> website transition.

I first started playing with an RTL-SDR in 2020, and every time I come back I have to re-learn a bunch of stuff. I previously stored all my info in a bookmarks folder in Firefox, and having nice notes on it is helping.

In my Obsidian-style notes section on my digital garden, I also started some notes on my RTL-SDR software-defined radio hobby: reillyspitzfaden.com/digital-gard...

You can use the table of contents (also a new site feature!) to hop around and choose the tutorial you want, and the first two are pretty easy even with only a small amount of HTML experience.

One of the things in my digital garden is this set of tutorials on webmentions: reillyspitzfaden.com/digital-gard...
I noticed I kept writing blog posts about them and decided to put everything in one place.

In the process of adding a digital garden, I found a useful plugin for Eleventy (github.com/photogabble/...) that lets me use wikilinks as I would in Obsidian, making it easier to link my notes together.

I know, right? It's macOS 11
I think I also had the same issue on macOS 10.15/Catalina, which was the first one that had only 64-bit support, but if I remember right, 11 also had some pretty big changes

I remember back on v25 they said it didn't work on Big Sur, but I was able to get it to run for the most part
The only problem was that my computer would occasionally restart on me and tell me that there was a “kernel panic” error — I would be interested to know if that happens for you!

100% agree, and I'm really happy to see writers I respect such as Molly White embracing it. It's also been nice to do it myself
