  @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org Thirty years ago, I worked for a manager named Bill Bradbury. After learning that he was from Long Beach, CA and reading in an interview with Ray Bradbury also lived there, I asked my boss if they were related. They were second cousins, and had met some while earlier. (My boss also shared a birthday with James Lick.)

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@pallenberg/116997801045521824 Translated from German (linked story in English): "At a rough guess, I’d say that about 5–10% of people in #Taiwan—especially older ones—are currently walking around wearing masks again. The week before last, we had nearly 5,000 #COVID19 cases, meaning we’ve reached epidemic levels. Five Taiwanese people have died!"

  RE: https://beige.party/@NewMike/116909878313256268 I hope that Lindsey Graham will be buried in a traditional plot, so others will be given the opportunity to show the level of respect he earned in life, by dancing on it.

  @evacide@hachyderm.io In the pages linked article at https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/tr-chrysalis-backdoor-dive-into-lotus-blossoms-toolkit/ the mention of "undocumented system calls" in Microsoft Windows should serve as a warning not to use Windows at all, as it clearly can't be trusted. The cited name of one of those calls ("NtQuerySystemInformation") amused me by evoking memories of using Windows NT circa 1996. Apparently Microsoft hasn't been adequately compel...

  @benroyce @ChuckMcManis The computation for gravitational slingshots shouldn't be very extreme. It's straightforward, but would require a fair amount of data. Once out of a star's system, it should be easier to slingshot around stars than planets.

  @alternativeto If a web site is too difficult to use, whether it complains about my software blocking its advertising and/or trackers, a paywall, a tracking wall, questionable terms of service, etc., I'm not shy about pulling up (and sharing) a link to an archived copy. archive.ph has been a good service

  I had tried the GasBuddy app, but after I uninstalled it I kept getting email (spam) from them. I requested they they delete my data. It was an onerous process. Today, nine days later, they sent a message confirming that my personal data has been deleted. If you care at all about your data privacy--or at least not getting spammed into perpetuity--please avoid the GasBuddy app. #GasPrices
