@NLRCreations I know the original Earthsea trilogy are all structured as coming-of-age stories but I actually appreciated their complexities a lot more as an adult. Totally agree with the sentiment though :)

Vermonters! I have a book event tomorrow (Wednesday, November 30th) at the Aldrich Library in Barre at 6PM. I’ll be talking about the history of cosplay and will have some costumes and props to show off. Details: https://www.facebook.com/events/5968832203168347/
@NLRCreations Thanks! I was bummed it didn't take off. Would love to see a set based on Tehanu or The Other Wind if you're thinking of doing something Earthsea related!
@NLRCreations Still have Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot on a shelf somewhere next to all my Hardy Boys books.

This past week I’ve learned more CMake than I (n)ever wanted to know. So this sounds still appropriate

I can't believe I even have to say this, but please do not grant the San Francisco police department the power to kill people using armed robots: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/red-alert-sfpd-want-power-kill-robots

When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small.
Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present.
This is the only real time travel paradox.
@Migueldeicaza awesome! Haven’t used an iOS SSH client for years - excited to see how this goes
@KevinCarson1 @gabrielbauman fwiw though, Popehat hasn't posted on here in 2 weeks.

.@mmasnick lays down the obvious truth: the “social media is bad for teens (and therefore we should regulate it (and also spy on everyone))” narrative is garbage that ignores how, for the vast majority of kids and teens, social media is a net positive in their lives.
