Super Swing Districts 2026

Super Swing Districts is a slate of Democratic candidates that maximizes the impact of your donation by giving directly to down-ballot candidates, in overlapping swing districts, in swing states. https://lnkd.in/g8fzNnXE

For obvious reasons campaigns are much more able to use money before the absolute last minute. Deadline for the Florida candidate is 10/30 (and I think that's the last one) but sooner is better than later. Hopefully we can get some kind of countdown onto the site to make the urgency clearer

@glyph and because "we have to spend double the engineer hours maintaining two things" is easy for an entity to understand and act on and "users dont have agency in choosing how the code they run on their computer works" is this fuzzy externality , i think we probably tend to act in favor of the […]

Do you get mad that the fascists are running circles around the Democrats, taking control of local and state-level offices all over the place, mobilizing across different institutions and building durable entrenched local power? Do you feel sad that you don't know where to direct resources when […]

@cks I also get astigmatic halos and occasional diplopia but I find that I can manage those more easily with regular breaks to ease eye strain. We all have to pick our poison though :-|

@760ceb3b9c0ba4872cadf3ce35a7a4 there's a massive logistical problem with maintaining long-lived forks of different frontends and supporting old "bad" designs forever if people seem to like them. but maybe yeah we should just do that anyway?

the "new post" window really highlights how weird modern UI design is everywhere though. why is it in a fake window with a fake close box instead of just being in a window. why is every app its own weird little bespoke window manager.

okay I've got The New Mastodon and … I guess overall I actually like it?

Obviously AI isn't alive and doesn't deserve human rights or politeness or whatever else. But as part of "AI psychosis", many people do end up personifying AI agents, having romantic feelings about them, entrusting them with deep secrets, and so on. Which then makes it disturbing when people […]

We blew past our first goal of $20,000 on superswingdistricts.org/2026 ! We've raised it to $40,000. Let's go! (Last year we managed to get to $70,000, which was great, but insufficient. Let's see if we can beat it this time!)

@matt I think Recall was a tipping point but also day-to-day stories of failed updates, bricked systems, dead batteries, etc, are so common as to be unremarkable now. the underlying OS also seems to be falling apart in terms of reliability.

@matt windows users have hated windows for decades but in decades of such conversations I have never had a _Windows user_ *yell* at me because they are so mad at *Microsoft* about an update. Look at where the trend-chasers are going; like 50% of LTT's content is "switch to linux" videos now […]

@matt the worst part is that I think surveys aren't capturing the amount of absolute nihilism here because they assume that LLM use implies LLM acquiescence. some developers are using LLMs at work every day because they have to, learning how to use new LLM tools, and also assuming that all […]

when we are talking about the cost of LLMs getting jammed in everywhere with no discussion or consent, this is the kind of cost that just gets blithely ignored, because whatever, we have the control, what are people going to do, just let themselves get hacked? and yeah. they're going to get […]

The case I'm usually *trying* to make here is my own middle-path moderate view, that while LLM usage is dangerous and unfortunate and we should try to find ways to discourage it, that we are going to have to accept a certain amount of it and maintain trust that existing maintainers will at least […]

For the second time I think I have accidentally convinced a project to just … stop doing security updates on a critical dependency forever, because they'd assumed the LLM usage problem wasn't as bad as it is. Both of these so far are offline things that are not at al security-sensitive, but I […]

Dang y'all showed up fast. Thank you. Less than 24 hours and we are already halfway to our first goal. (The goal is at $20,000 but the campaigns could use a lot more than that, so, let's not limit our imaginations. But it would be a great start to hit that number.)

Please remember that the corollary here is that now that I've related this heartwarming story of collective purpose to you, if you don't donate (if you're legally allowed to donate to US campaigns) or at least share, you're harshing the whole vibe here, just ruining the party.

At our #curl maintainer meeting tonight we decided to move forward with the "handle LOW/MED vuln reports openly on GitHub". Now we just need to get the documentation and processes adjust, then push the button to do this. Maybe write a blog post too. So, ideally within this week. Stay tuned

Ah, logging in a weakref finalization callback, a classic. If you hit garbage collection at the wrong time, the weakref callback gets called while the logging lock is held, then reentrantly calls logging again. I wonder if this is present in modern Python, the reproducer was 3.11...
