AARC Opposition Statement On the FDA’s Authorization of Juul E-Cigarette Products: Respiratory therapists are dedicated to treating patients with chronic respiratory diseases, many of which are directly linked to tobacco and nicotine use. Respiratory therapists see firsthand the long-term consequences of addiction that often begin in adolescence. The decision to allow these products on the...

I would like to read a book today! I said to myself with enthusiasm this morning. I used to read every Saturday morning, but as I started visiting more museums I stopped reading as much. I had the same feeling that I felt last week when I was inspired to write: I really want ...

Xandra asked a terrific question on Mastodon: what does the indie web need the most right now? if that’s kinda hard to answer, to phrase it in another way: if you could snap your fingers and add one of these to the #indieweb, which do you think would have the biggest positiv...

The default Micro.blog archive page has become unmanageable for blogs like mine with a 20-year history. Experimenting with an update that groups by month and only shows one year at a time. You can see it here on my blog. Thinking of making this an optional plug-in.

When vendor promises meet government warrants, the warrants win every time. Microsoft's Senate testimony shows why "trust us" isn't a data protection strategy.

I’ve been fine-tuning publishing performance again. Shaving off a second here or there. Some things including full rebuilds should be better now. More to do!

The nice thing about a blogroll is that it can become a feed reader, in a very small space. It's been on my blog home page for over a year, and I use it a lot, largely because I have to go to that page a lot to see how something I've written looks. Then I see that one of my f...

A curated selection of visually interesting datasets collected by local, state and federal government agencies.

This site must’ve started as a way of showcasing really interesting collections, but now it’s turning into an archive of what’s being systematically destroyed by the current US regime.

I don’t normally link to articles on Medium—I respect you too much—and I do wish this were written on Mike Hall’s own site, but this is just too good not to share. And don’t dismiss this as a nostalgiac case study from the past: At no point did the constraints make the ...

The short version of what I want to say is: vibe coding seems to live very squarely in the land of prototypes and toys. Promoting software that’s been built entirely using this method would be akin to sending a hacked weekend prototype to production and expecting it to be stable.

Remy is taking a very sensible approach here:

I’ve used it myself to solve really bespoke problems where the user count is one.

Would I put this out to production: absolutely not.

Nick Heer asking the right question about Apple suing Jon Prosser:

This multitrillion-dollar company was financially injured by a few YouTube videos showing the redesign of its operating system?

This lawsuit is clearly a threat to future leakers. Apple shouldn’t throw its weight around like this.

If you're an ambitious developer, esp in 2025, if you want to win, you have to do some leading. That means doing things that help your competitors. When everyone looks to the same big platform vendor to work with, no one wins except the platform vendor.

I want ChatGPT to behave like a computer. I've said as much to it. It resists.

I had never been to Donegal before my trip to Glencolmcille to spend a week there learning Irish. I had heard it’s beautiful there. But pictures don’t really do it justice. When our bus was winding its way down into the valley, it looked breathtaking, laid out before us lik...

BTW, David Frum imho nailed it in yesterday's podcast where he said Trump was trained by every day having to appease a different set of creditors. It was a good day if he was able to hold them off for one more day. This actually came out in the trial he lost, the 34 guilty verdicts. He's always skating on the verge of bankruptcy. You gotta wonder if the creditors have been paid back yet. I bet some of them haven't.
