(This is actually about a different Tom Holland than the one of which you're thinking. This one is a British history expert, not one of the Spider-Mans.)

I love TinkerCAD, but they need to handle offline better. (And by better I mean at all.)

My internet keeps going out and when it does the window blanks out and all the undo history is gone when it eventually reloads.

Tom Holland just cannot stop blurting out spoilers. The man has no self control.

Maker World is putting in effort to automatically flag "sexually inappropriate" 3D models, both with increased moderation and improved "AI" detection.

Maker World is also filled to the brim with stolen IP; apparently zero effort goes into detecting or taking that stuff down.

"Iron Man" couldn't get any easier to detect, and yet...

My aurora tracking app suggests that tonight will have a good chance of northern lights in north America, so we can just skip the earth-based chemical-expansion lightshow. Thanks.

The latest Terrible Toybox contractor agreement has a 218 word section about how you can't use AI and it was written by a real life human lawyer, so you know I'm serious. AI is a cancer to the creative process and I do consider programing to be a creative process.

wtf? GoToSocial just asked me to approve a reply to one of my posts (which is wonderful), but the author of the reply was me. 🤔

I was too young to be aware, so I'm asking - what was the mood like during the Bicentennial celebrations?

I mean, like ... with Watergate and Vietnam, and the oil crises, was the feeling like ... things have been rough, but can get better? Or what?

How in the world did I not hear about Kanye buying Kim Kardashian a hologram of her dead father for her birthday.

Not sure if a hot take or just a neurodivergent take

One of them was Google News, which I'm probably better off without 🤷

Not sure if it's a Vivaldi problem, an Android problem or a Lawnchair problem, but after a system update I lost all my PWAs, again.

"The package hides execution inside a VS Code task, configured to run automatically when the project folder is opened in VS Code. From there, the malware retrieves encrypted JavaScript from blockchain transaction data, connects to attacker-controlled infrastructure, launches a socket.io backdoor, and eventually deploys a Python infostealer."

Yes, by all means, make it easy for random strangers to define and execute stuff in your code editor just by opening a project folder 🙄

"These 'supply-chain' attacks are getting out of hand. I bet we can mitigate by adding more chain!"

[Slapping the roof of his github repo] "This baby can hold so much chain..."

"This 'Fake Font' campaign delivers a multi-stage loader that ultimately deploys the InvisibleFerret Python backdoor, designed to steal cryptocurrency wallets, browser credentials, and establish persistent access," security researcher Paul McCarty noted back in January. "This is the third sub-campaign of the 'Contagious Interview' campaign that has been ongoing since 2023."

I'm starting to suspect someone at AWS is in charge of naming these exploits... #iykyk

Yesterday I spent some time modeling and printing a little fidget toy based on the weird dpad on the old NES Max controller.

I love me a good bumper sticker.

"Add this tag to your profile to opt out of our shitty service" is *not* a valid way to run your bot/app/etc.

People saying their bullshit is opt-in when it's actually opt-out really gets my goat.

Worse is when they get called on it and say "it is opt-in, it's just that someone else can opt you in and if that happens you just need to opt out."

Fuck off, geez. #iykyk

I've been meaning to get a photo of this sign for ages, and today I finally did.
