#MakersHour

A1. Hi I’m new and came across you by looking for how folks build community online based on a shared interest. I live in the (cough) USA. I don’t think of myself as a maker. I’m a developing watercolor artist, going on about 12-15 years.

This week I’ve been doing a few things for watercolor class—homework/practice between weekly classes. I did a small quick sketch of wisteria, followed by a fuller painting.

I also make To Do lists everyday

Welcome to the party! I also sometimes post answers after the MakersHour hour. One of the questions for this set is actually about when you post, since I am learning from the question that posting during the hour is participating in a hosted conversation whilst others are answering the same questions at the same time. But answers are welcome whenever you arrive with them.

I can't say enough good things about Paperback, the ebook and PDF reader written by @TheQuinbox. It's truly amazing to have a text-based PDF simply open and be readable. No screen reader optimization, no Adobe alerts, no useless controls or lack of pages in a browser. Just the text, ready in a couple seconds. It even saves your reading position. github.com/trypsynth/paperback

Thanks for the glowing word of recommendation! Writing tools for yourself as a blind user is fun, because it turns out that lots of others want the same tool! I'm also far from done, a long-term goal of mine with Paperback is letting you load a ppt or pptx file up, be able to read all the content from all the slides, and be able to press p or shift+p to move between slides, just as one example. CHM is also on the list, as are many others. Basically, tldr, I'm far from done 😀

Wild when New York Times reporters are or are not allowed to opine. If you think antivax lunatic RFK Jr. "makes good points" about COVID and vaccination, you can say so. If you think the Trump administration's egregious rights violations are bad, you keep that out of the paper, don't be biased.

It’s disturbing how the details keep changing. trib.al/P0DcwQ1

And even if the 11 crew members were supposed “narco terrorists,” such a designation does not serve as any legal basis for a combat strike.

Last week, WIRED reported on project that used dark money to fund liberal influencers and contractually prohibited them from disclosing the funding. That was bad enough, but now one involved creator, David Packman, is trying to silence critics with libel threats skepchick.org/2025/09/popular-…

This Company Turns Dashcams into ‘Virtual CCTV Cameras.’ Then Hackers Got In


A hacker has broken into Nexar, a popular dashcam company that pitches its users’ dashcams as “virtual CCTV cameras” around the world that other people can buy images from, and accessed a database of terabytes of video recordings taken from cameras in drivers’ cars. The videos obtained by the hacker and shared with 404 Media capture people clearly unaware that a third party may be watching or listening in. A parent in a car soothing a baby. A man whistling along to the radio. Another person on a Facetime call. One appears to show a driver heading towards the entrance of the CIA’s headquarters. Other images, which are publicly available in a map that Nexar publishes online, show drivers around sensitive Department of Defense locations.

The hacker also found a list of companies and agencies that may have interacted with Nexar’s data business, which sells access to blurred images captured by the cameras and other related data. This can include monitoring the same location captured by Nexar’s cameras over time, and lets clients “explore the physical world and gain insights like never before,” and use its virtual CCTV cameras “to monitor specific points of interest,” according to Nexar’s website.

"Confronting Israeli settler accused of killing unarmed Palestinian activist" [7:49 min]
by Channel4News
youtube.com/watch?v=Q5C7mFExBV…

Quote by C4N;
"Aug 29, 2025
It's been a month since the brutal killing of Palestinian activist Awdah Hathaleen, who was shot and killed by an extremist Israeli settler as he filmed a confrontation with unarmed Palestinians in the West Bank.
But already, settlers are back encroaching even closer to the Palestinian village of Umm al-Khair - openly setting up four mobile homes within metres of it.
The man who shot Awdah, internationally sanctioned settler Yinon Levi, still hasn't been charged. Further evidence, say many, of the two-tier justice Israel operates - putting its people first and Palestinians second in the West Bank."

Given that Trump is going to get away with breaking international law, and the military is happily following obviously illegal orders to blow up a ship that they would normally stop. I wonder if that's them testing the waters for using remote lethal force against domestic abortion-drug suppliers.

Obviously, it sounds like an insane idea. But everything happening now sounded like an insane idea just a year ago.

This was a very rough piece to write, despite it just being the next piece in my AI series. *insert all the damn content warnings here* (OK, maybe not for genocide. Yet.)

It's about how AI interacts with people, rather than how people interact with AI.

Project Veritas met with law enforcement at least twice. Instead of being transparent about the source, police and prosecutors hid that relationship and then lied about it to the grand jury, DC Superior Court, and defense counsel, in a case against people protesting Trump’s first inauguration.

Naar aanleiding van het pro-Palestijnse protest in de wielerronde van Spanje is deze column van Bieke Purnelle de moeite waard om nog eens te lezen.

De bewering dat toernooien en wedstrijden apolitiek zijn of horen te zijn is absurd, vindt MO*columniste Bieke Purnelle. Sport en politiek zijn immers onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden. Het verhaal van de sport leest als een omnibus vol onversneden politieke beslissingen. mo.be/column/sport-is-politiek

It's great dockworkers in Genoa are threatening to shut down Europe if Israel messes with the flotilla.

At the same time, it also raises the question of if you can shut down Europe, why haven't you done it yet? Is nearly two years of genocide not enough? Why do Europeans need to be involved to be moved to act?

Finally, since Israel will most definitely intercept the flotilla, they better be planning now on how to make good on their promise.

Yeah, I've also been thinking about that. Like why wait until now? Meanwhile, having been involved in American unions (not sure how different European ones would be), I know that strikes take a long time to organize because striking can impose a very steep cost to workers. It takes a lot of one-on-one conversations to build the social networks and collective power. And many people have radicalized in the past two years and radicalization takes some time. I'm really appalled how many of my colleagues don't seem to have radicalized very much. I myself shed quite a lot of liberal indoctrination since Oct 7 despite having identified as an anarchist since 2020.

Yeah, they'd better get ready to strike. Even if they fail this time, next time they may be able to call a strike faster. For example, UC grad student workers passed the strike authorization vote for Palestine in spring 2024 so quickly because the memory of the 2022 strike was still fresh, though a court ruled that the strike for Palestine is illegal and I heard reports of union leadership watering down the demands.
