@mjg59 yep, amazing, hard to argue with: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/05/msg01452.html

Also this reminds me of people checking photo ID when signing GPG keys. If you have no training/practice in identifying an official ID (as I'm 99% sure most of the volunteers at the polls do not either), the requirement is not worth much, which means all of the cons of the requirement easily outweigh the supposed benefits.

Had to show photo ID to vote today, for the first time in my life. Lame.

@dneary Last Action Hero on M, W, F; Ghost Dog on Tu, Th; Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs on alternating weekends.

@xxv might makes right

I'm short on time -- can I just put the Emergen-C *in* the whiskey?

@birdinfire@mstdn.social So who do you vote *for* with your wallet?

But to bring it back to the post, this is an opportunity to join the F-Droid board of directors, which has some influence on policy and strategy for the project. We're not just looking for people who already agree with 100% of what's being done :)

@birdinfire@mstdn.social Well, hopefully we can both agree that reproducible builds (where the binary matches a known good hash no matter who builds or re-builds it) is the best solution here, and F-Droid is helping the effort toward that. Also don't forget that F-Droid is not a centralized technology -- the name does refer to a primary repo, but anyone can stand up their own repo and sign everything with their own key. Besides, which store allows you to pass through your own signature on your upload?

@birdinfire@mstdn.social Eh? Developers control their own security key. Are you talking about how F-droid wants to re-build and re-sign the software, which means using its own key(s)?

We need your help to advance user freedom on mobile devices -- if you are interested and have a few hours a month to contribute to building a solid organizational base to support the worldwide F-Droid community's amazing work, please nominate yourself (or another willing person) for the F-Droid board of directors: https://f-droid.org/2024/02/28/help-advance-mobile-device-user-freedom-nominate-candidates-for-the-f-droid-board-of-directors.html

@cae Probably the cheapest way to get original Dark Lilac!

Starting "Hello, the Roses" by Mei-mei Berssenbrugge #poetry

"Four year old girl" was very influential on me during my MFA program, but inexplicably haven't read anything by her since, until now.

Apparently marijuana is in fact not a gateway drug: https://npr.org/2024/02/26/1233856049/police-dogs-across-ohio-discovered-their-skills-are-obsolete

also sounds like these dogs need a union to guarantee cross-training opportunities when their jobs are made obsolete

Finished "Midwood" by Jana Prikryl, for the second time. Good #poems, especially the namesake series within, but I think "The After Party" by her was even gooder.

I wasn't sure I was going to be up for baking bread with my work schedule this week, but I feel suddenly motivated https://www.dailydot.com/debug/king-arthur-baking-dei-competition/ -- King me.
