Frequent reauth doesn't make you more secure
Tailscale is built to make secure access seamless — but too often, security tools get in your way instead. One common offender? Frequent login prompts. They interrupt your work, frustrate users, and paradoxically, can weaken your security posture.Avery Pennarun (tailscale.com)

I fully support Wayland, but after watching this video @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social even I hope the new XLibre Xserver project sees some success.

XLibre Is The X11 Future Xorg Never Became?

Well, that is unfortunate.
I am noticing a growing trend in our world -- The people who are talented and even gifted, choose to be assholes.

I am going to have to agree with @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social regarding on how sometimes things work in the world of FOSS.
I am not fan of x11 / Xorg. But a big part of the reason I am not a fan is that the development was going nowhere. It is still going nowhere, and the developers of that project seem passive, if not active, in seeing it die off. They have been for years!
Then you have this 1 guy, who seem like he is doing most of the work for a year or more, and I'm not going to say their work was perfect, but they were doing something instead of nothing. They're not the 1st person who has tried to do something with that project, only to be kicked down and discouraged, either.

As I understood it, they were not always the same developers.
I, myself, have no fight in this. I'm already on Wayland, and have been for now 1/2 a decade. But if Xorg is abandon, as you claim, they should archive the project and just call it a day, already.

The U.S. just made “AI literacy” a national priority, but what does that mean?
1 in 3 people overestimate their ability to use and detect AI tools. Education policy researchers say teaching true literacy isn’t just a technical skill, it’s about ethical and social issues.

AI literacy: What it is, what it isn’t, who needs it and why it’s hard to define
President Trump’s executive order calling for AI literacy highlights its importance. The order also underscores its amorphous nature. Here’s how to develop and measure effective AI literacy programs.The Conversation
Footage from the Mariana Trench. 10,792 meters (36,000 feet) below the ocean surface.
Humans and other surface dwellers experience pressure underwater due to the air in their bodies being compressed
Deep sea critters do not have much in the way of air inside them, so their internal and external pressure do not have much, or any differential.
So they don't experience any compressive forces, as opposed to a submarine for example pressurized to one atmosphere inside finding it in a body of water under thousands of atmospheres of pressure

Dating platforms both reflect and reinforce racial stereotypes and biases common in American culture.
When seeking a romantic partner, people gravitate toward others who are similar and familiar to them – not people whom they have been taught to see as fundamentally different from their family, friends and neighbors.
And part of that is the lasting legacy of laws designed to keep races segregated.

#LovingDay #relationships #bias #BlackMastodon @blackmastodon
Laws meant to keep different races apart still influence dating patterns, decades after being invalidated
Romantic attraction is driven by a complex set of factors, including who people grow up around and what is familiar and comfortable to them. But discriminatory laws also play a role.The Conversation
Bigfin Squid: NEW footage (magnapinna squid)
The arms and tentacles of the squid are both extremely long, estimated at 4 to 8 m (13 to 26 ft). These appendages are held perpendicular to the body, creating "elbows". How the squid feeds is yet to be discovered.
