SEA/PDX protest medic donation request
Hey so a medic crew here in Seattle that has been showing up for the spiciest shit had several of their members arrested last night, and they estimate that replacing gear, bail, legal, and ancillary costs are gonna end up being as high as $3k.
So, if you're able, a donation would be really appreciated right now 💜

Tech; socialism; democratization of tech
"Because all the day’s computers, including Galaksija, ran their programs on cassette, Regasek thought Modli might broadcast programs over the airwaves as audio during his show. The idea was that listeners could tape the programs off their receivers as they were broadcast, then load them into their personal machines.
An overnight sensation, this DJing practice quickly became a staple on Modli’s show. In the ensuing months, Ventilator 202 broadcast hundreds of computer programs. During the hour, Modli would announce when the segment was approaching, signaling to his listeners that it was time for them to fetch their equipment, cue up a tape, and get ready to hit record. Fans began to write programs with the expressed intention of mailing them into the station and broadcasting them during the segment."

Password shenanigans.
I can pay the bill for my TMS provider online, which is great, but the account setup procedure is the worst:
• limited to 6–15 characters
• case-insensitive
• doesn't allow non-alphanumerics
• ... but never reveals this fact
• though leaving the password blank shows an error message, any amount of text is accepted
• but on submitting it hangs indefinitely!
At least it didn't set up the account with a password I couldn't enter! In fact, it didn't set anything up at all and I had to re-enter all the info and guess at password limitations until it took one.
But it must be secure; it has a Google reCaptcha! *bangs head on desk until the Internet breaks*
