If your workplace is a “challenging, fast paced environment” it’s because you need to hire more people and be more realistic about what a work emergency looks like. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ekc3jkz5royrx222e7m7n56f/post/3mh3hfiypvc2v

Are there other visual diff tools to compare two git repos that anyone recommends? I am using Meld right now, but the letter-spacing is in the negatives on Mac OS and it's very hard to read.

If you are an #obsidian and #zotero user that uses the Zotero Integration plugin, you may have noticed that you can no longer import from Zotero into Obsidian. These recommendations corrected the issue for me: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/zotero-plugin/111390/3

A further issue: the books likely to be machine translated are those from the Global South, damaging the reputations and opportunities of authors from those regions.

The Department of Homeland Security has a new major contract with Palantir.
"The agreement simplifies how DHS buys software from Palantir, allowing DHS agencies like Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to essentially skip the competitive bidding process for new purchases of up to $1 billion in products and services from the company."

Two things:
1. We are creating a two-tiered internet that will see people willing to give up their IDs having one experience while those who can’t, won’t, or don’t have them missing out on those experiences or being outright excluded from whole areas of the web
2. Why you would be willing to give up your ID to web services that have such poor security in a time when identity is being weaponized by state actors is beyond me
