The macOS Ventura installer should turn off scheduled shutdown so you aren't stuck using Terminal to manage a thing that's no longer supported in the Energy Saver UI.

Popular Science managed to publish an article about wildfires that start when a bird catches fire on an electrical line… and manages to *blame the birds*: “when a bird…manages to electrocute itself” and “fires caused by birds”. popsci.com/environment/birds…

I wonder if anyone can tell me how to "Enable Mouse Keys" in macOS… without using a mouse. I used to do it a very long time ago, seems (ironically) impossible now.

Common HomePod interaction of late:
Hey Siri, can you set a timer?
How long?
5 minutes
…Hrm…this is taking a while…I didn’t hear back
HEAR BACK FROM WHOM SIRI? THE TIMER POLICE? MY TIMER BANK? TELL ME.
Noteworthy this about this HomePod timer bug is that HomePod is not unable to talk to the Internet; other queries work fine. Seems more like a example of someone should have written some automated tests. This has been a problem since at least 2019: discussions.apple.com/thread…

When the final testing requirement states:
Ensure box side printing is present
Status: PASS release to live
Kind of surprised that the Costco iOS app has a digital membership card but not a button to add it to Wallet. Weak sauce, @costco.

The CDC just designated Puerto Rico level 4 highest risk travel destination to avoid
I am perplexed
Infection rates in PR lower than 41 states
Vaccinations in PR higher than 47 states
If CDC recommends no travel to PR
should it recommend no travel within the rest of the US?

While looking for an iOS irc client that’s up to date (in the context of dealing with freenode —> libera), I may have stumbled on a heuristic for detecting an authentic App Store app: reviews contain occasionally saucy replies from the developer. – at Alma Neighborhood Association, San Jose

1/ Covid @UCSF Chronicles, Day 426
I’ve been letting the new CDC guidelines marinate for a few days, getting over the shock of seeing an agency that’s usually a trailing indicator so “out there.” I tried, but I can’t talk myself out of seeing the new recs as too far, too fast.

I’d really like Twisted to stop depending on OpenSSL and start using rustls instead. Anyone interested in putting some more effort into something like github.com/stillinbeta/jimmi… or github.com/djc/pyrtls to make this possible?

Amazingly, this weekend marks the ten-year anniversary of the raid to kill Osama bin Laden, perhaps the most momentous decision of @BarackObama's presidency. Here's my oral history of being inside the West Wing and US Government as the raid unfolded: politico.com/news/magazine/2…

It should be illegal for anyone to serve in the U.S. government if they were previously on the payroll of dictatorships.
The government should be serving the American people—not serving the interests of brutal dictatorships.
