Unity just sent out an email telling everyone who released a game between 2017 and today that they need to recompile and republish their games due to a security vulnerability. Yikes. CVE-2025-59489

Deeply impressive and ripe for unrecoverable abuse. This quote comes to mind: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” — 1984 Those who don’t will often be deceived and those who do will cease to trust.

Sound on.

Sora’s new development of “cameo” that allows others to set you (or anyone else) into any AI generated scene will impact disinformation, how everyday folks view media as real or fake, elections, public health, and more for years to come. We need AI labeled content everywhere now.

Sound on.



My report today has information relevant to anyone in California.

If we're gonna get a watercooled iPhone, the least they could do is stick one of these on the back. Actually, hold on. I have a case idea.

Wrote a long one today. Can you tell I tried very hard to be professional, despite circumstances?

🟣 Thursday, August 28, 2025 #COVID report for Butte County, CA Lots to go over today, with new developments affecting public health, and I don't just mean viruses. We'll be covering: ▶︎ Two variants spreading ▶︎ Current wastewater levels ▶︎ New vaccines and restrictions



"We are seven months into the new administration, and no CDC subject matter expert from my Center has ever briefed the Secretary.  I am not sure who the Secretary is listening to, but it is quite certainly not to us."

A nice little release that brings some requested #SAML improvements. Review Board does NOT charge a SSO Tax, because security is too important for that. We've been a bit quiet lately as we've worked toward the next major Review Board release, which we're starting to wrap up now

Review Board 7.0.4 is out now, featuring: 4️⃣ Custom tab stop widths 🔒 New #SAML customization and provisioning options 🙋‍♀️ User API improvements reviewboard.org/news/2025/08/0…



A big thanks to @chirrapp for helping me write my COVID reports at @bc19live these past few years. It made posting long-form Twitter threads full of information simple, letting me focus first on the content and then on how to split it cleanly into posts. Highly recommend it.

If()-based conditional styling is coming to #CSS, but you can already do this today with CSS Variables. We use it to more easily support light mode, dark mode, high-contrast mode, and component states. Here's how it works. chipx86.blog/2025/08/08/wha…

With #GitHub moving into Microsoft's CoreAI division, are you sticking around or planning a move? Most all-in-one products don't focus on code review like we do. If you're planning a move, plan to give Review Board a try. geekwire.com/2025/github-wi…


#TIL that #vim has a built-in debugger, where you can set breakpoints, get backtraces, and more for your vim configuration and plugins. Using this to figure out why a random plain Python string in a file I'm not even opening is breaking my tabstop width.


Fantastic event. The old Maker Faire brought back and given new life.

😷 Saturday, August 9th, 2025 COVID report for Butte County, CA bc19.live Wastewater data remains in High to Very High levels, but slightly lower. It's mask-wearing time again for those who want to avoid COVID as it again moves through our community.


I need to figure out the elliptical curve points on a series of ephemeral ECDSA private keys I used in unit test data so I don't have to regenerate the payloads. Anyone have a 5000-qubit quantum computer I can borrow?
