Michigan Territory and the State of Ohio had a border dispute that almost led to a shooting war.

This is something I didn't know. #TIL

1. Toledo War
  
  The Toledo War (1835–36), also known as the Michigan–Ohio War or the Ohio–Michigan War, was a boundary dispute between the U.S. state of Ohio and the adjoining territory of Michigan over what is now known as the Toledo Strip. Control of the mouth of the Maumee River and the inland shipping opportunities it represented, and the good farmland to the west were seen by both parties as valuable economic assets. Poor geographical understanding of the Great Lakes helped produce conflicting state and federal legislation between 1787 and 1805, and varying interpretations of the laws led the governments of Ohio and Michigan to both claim jurisdiction over a 468-square-mile (1,210 km2) region along their border. The situation came to a head when Michigan petitioned for statehood in 1835 and sought to include the disputed territory within its boundaries. Both sides passed legislation attempting to force the other side's capitulation, and Ohio's Governor Robert Lucas and Michigan's 24-year-old "Boy Governor" Stevens T. Mason helped institute criminal penalties for residents submitting to the other's authority. Both states...

By the way, Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano is erupting. They issued a "yellow phase 3" alert so people could prepare for possible evacuations. (It's something like 50 miles from Mexico City, so if the ash and fumes blow in that direction, there's no way they could evacuate everyone.)

RE: https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-5364-7f8d-a77a-e5f400900376 @fu

Best if that includes converting multi-user restrooms to multiple single-user restrooms, because that way, neither group "loses" and any legitimate safety concerns are also solved without stationing "pecker checkers" at restroom doors.

(Daniel, one of the guys behind Tent.io all those years ago, once laid out the reasoning behind sex-separated restrooms, pointing to rampant rapes in third world countries without them. This was his initial step in justifying why gender and not sex was now the important factor. I don't remember his reasoning, so I couldn't do it justice trying to repeat it.)

#Bluesky's #AT_Protocol seems to be pretty complex. And its #federation may even be called "centralized by design", as it is designed to "[send] messages to a much smaller number of big aggregators, which then broadcast that data ... across the network."

> On a technical level, prioritizing big-world indexing over small world networking has multiple benefits.

It does ... if every node interacts with every other node on behalf of every one of its users. But if a PDS at pds.example.net mostly interacts with the fifty or so instances where its users have contacts while rarely to never interacting with 10,000 other instances, it doesn't need the BGS firehose, and it can integrate "app views" for its users directly into the same server.

@fu It may be, but remember that radio stations occasionally shift formats and pursue completely different audiences. That market may have some substantial audiences left unserved.

Still, I think "conservative talk" as a format is probably a top 3 format for commercial radio. A music-based format means people turn it off if there are too many commercials during morning drive time. But talk show hosts can ooze sincerity while reading copy about "it really works; I tried it myself" and their audiences will flock to buy whatever it is.

There you go. They see a financial incentive.

When you use Facebook, you know they're spying on you and using that information to try to manipulate you, but they don't charge you the $30-50/month that it would cost if they went ad-free and turned off all spying.

If the NSA turned off its network taps in major data centers, most people would not even notice the difference in their taxes.

During tonight’s #videochat, #GS3 told me more about Tropical Cyclone Mocha and especially about Tropical Storm Arlene. He knows that Arlene was near #FL, where his other grandparents live. He had not seen that Arlene broke apart, so he was concerned about them.

#GS4 didn’t say a lot. He told me that some of his berries yesterday were “greenberries”, not blueberries.

#GS5 looked grumpy. Then he quickly smiled twice at me, then returned to his grumpy look.

I don’t have budget for it right now, but the kids need hats with big floppy brims, sunglasses, and sunscreen.

1. Venix
  
  Venix is a discontinued version of the Unix operating system for low-end computers, developed by VenturCom, a "company that specialises in the skinniest implementations of Unix". Overview A working version of Venix/86 for the IBM PC XT was demoed at Comdex in May 1983. It was based on Version 7 Unix with some enhancements from BSD (notably vi, more and csh) and custom inter-process communication mechanisms. It was the first licensed UNIX operating system available for the IBM PC and its compatibles, supported read/write access to a separate DOS/FAT-partition and could run in as little as 128 KB (256 KB - 512 KB recommended).In September 1984, Venix/86 Encore was released; it supported a number of early PC-compatibles, including the AT&T 6300, the Zenith 150, the (first) NCR PC, and the Texas Instruments Professional Computer.Venix Encore, which then became Venix 2.0, was still based on Version 7 Unix, and ran on the DEC Rainbow 100 (Venix/86R) as well as PCs (Venix/86 and /286). The system contained a number of enhancements, notably tools to access DOS files directly on a DOS/FAT-partition...
2. Xenix
  
  Xenix is a discontinued version of the Unix operating system for various microcomputer platforms, licensed by Microsoft from AT&T Corporation in the late 1970s. The Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) later acquired exclusive rights to the software, and eventually replaced it with SCO UNIX (now known as SCO OpenServer). In the mid-to-late 1980s, Xenix was the most common Unix variant, measured according to the number of machines on which it was installed. Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said at Unix Expo in 1996 that, for a long time, Microsoft had the highest-volume AT&T Unix license. History Bell Labs, the developer of Unix, was part of the regulated Bell System and could not sell Unix directly to most end users (academic and research institutions excepted); it could, however, license it to software vendors who would then resell it to end users (or their own resellers), combined with their own added features. Microsoft, which expected that Unix would be its operating system of the future when personal computers became powerful enough, purchased a license for Version 7 Unix from AT&T in 1978...

I remember going to Federated with a group of friends to look at the Commodore 64 soon after the price dropped to $99. The salesperson took one look at us and told us to come back when we had money.

Jaime's friend (I think his name was Daniel) returned that week, bought a computer, and was thereafter too busy to associate with us.
