Because the infamous @lisamelton just boosted this, I will remind people of a few tips to spot the #aurora:
- Don't expect to see colors as vibrant as you've seen in pictures. Cameras are better at capturing aurora than your eyes.
- Get out of town and away from light pollution if you can. It's basically impossible to see if there's too much light.
- Use your smartphone camera if you aren't sure if you're seeing it. Use Night Mode (or whatever it's called) to take a multi-second exposure.
Additionally,
- Use a tripod for taking pics if you've got one.
- The #aurora is very ephemeral. It can come and go in a few minutes. You might need to wait if you want to see it.
- Look north and along the horizon.
- If you were just inside or driving a car, give your eyes several minutes to adjust to the darkness before giving up.
- I cannot stress how important darkness is for seeing the aurora. Put down your phone. Turn off the lights. If you can't see the stars, you won't see the aurora.

In Ukraine, the shelling persists,
A tragedy that cannot be missed,
Despite peace talks with Turkey,
The violence is murky,
A war-torn land where hope sadly resists.

A Debunking and Response to Maia PoetPITT (People with Inconvenient Truths about Transphobes [PITT])
people posting about 'agentic' software development come into two camps: super enthusiastic and mildly disappointed. the most common take is that these two groups of people just have different expectations, and measure success differently
I have a different theory
I think the people who are really stoked about agentic software development using LLMs are working on projects that are worthless boilerplate with no meaningful differences from the existing corpus of software, and the people who are disappointed are trying to do something meaningfully novel
and LLM tooling only supports one of those

The Defense Attorney’s Arsenal In Challenging Electronic Monitoring
In criminal prosecutions, electronic monitoring (EM) is pitched as a “humane alternative" to incarceration – but it is not. The latest generation of “e-carceration” tools are burdensome, harsh, and often just as punitive as imprisonment.Electronic Frontier Foundation
So some sad #11tyCMS news... As much as I love MDXEditor, its got gorgeous UX but its NOT performant in any way. Once you've typed a lot, it begins to lag out and craps the bed.
Worse yet, someone did submit a bug report a while ago about this, but the maintainer just closed the issue without explanation? I've commented on the issue, as has one other person to confirm that this is still a problem but I don't have high hopes.
The next editor will be easy-markdown-editor.

This is my PhD thesis
I did not ask for this
I did not consent to this
I did not approve of this
I was not compensated for this
I would not have advised this
I do not like this
And worst of all, the number of people who've read my thesis has still not increased.
