@chemoelectric Forth! ❤️

@docpop Thank you!

So just at the time when we MOST need to be able to unplug from the ableist messaging encoded into our social programming – tasks that require immense, deliberate critical thought...

Our mental capacity is actively deteriorating. Not just from COVID itself, but also from the rampant use of LLMs to outsource our basic thinking processes.

What a fun time to exist, amirite?

@LJ Good choice. I like the series but, if season 1 episode 1 put you off, you *really* don’t want to go further in. Season 2, in particular, was 😱🤢

Puritanism and capitalism are two of the forces of evil that convinced us to "move on" from the pandemic a few years ago. As if a novel virus ripping through the population and evolving constantly is something we can "move on" from.

Now the resistance against our collective reality is reaching dizzying heights. Anti-vaxxers are everywhere. Measles is spreading. Doctors get rude or act confused when asked to mask. Critical thinking is at an all-time low.

@mos_8502 I never thought I'd wake up this morning and read someone saying something I've never more wholeheartedly believed in.

X11 is a *protocol*, and a good, reliable, mature one. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

@arendleejessurun I really really like this Arend! Great production and such a nice voice!

What have you used for strings? Sounds sample-ish

@w7voa This is a significant development. Focusing U.S. military resources on enforcing a quarantine in Venezuela could have major political and economic implications, both regionally and internationally. It will be interesting to see how this impacts diplomatic relations and the humanitarian situation in the region

@torstein @funkel Ligningsboka tror jeg er fra 1942, selv om den har litt anakronismer. Taxi-en kjører på knott.

Bill Clinton just made the checkmate move against Trump.

Ever since Congress adopted The Epstein Transparency Act, Trump has kept on mentioning Bill Clinton was in the files.

This week, we saw that victims accuse Trump of rape. But Clinton has now released this statement:

“Someone or something is being protected. […]
We need no such protection. Accordingly, we call on President Trump to direct Attorney General Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials […]”

Your move Donny!

@seindal the second one: "Presentiment of one's death often serves as a remedy for the soul." I am not a native English speaker, so take this with a grain of salt. The first is trickier. 1/

@GeoffWozniak YES IT WAS TILTED 4 NEARLY THE ENTIRE "FILM"

Hardware -> Kernel -> Wayland -> X11 Server -> UI Toolkit -> Application

That’s the correct design.

Hardware -> Kernel -> Wayland -> UI Toolkit -> Application

That’s the wrong design.

See, the X11 server provides stuff that UI toolkits shouldn’t have to, and that Wayland shouldn’t be made to. Xorg is old and crusty and hard to maintain. The X11 protocol isn’t the problem. Don’t throw away mature solutions just because it’s not new and shiny.

And yet if we can make ourselves do it... we most likely will make ourselves do it. Resting feels like cheating. It feels bad.

Puritanism is the layer under everything else in American culture. We rarely notice or talk about it. But it's tied to white supremacy, perfectionism, workaholism, and a whole smorgasbord of judginess.

Capitalism, well, we know its flaws. But we've internalized it to an extent that most of us don't even realize. Our sense of worth is intimately tied to achievement.

U.S. District Judge Amir Ali in Washington granted Zaid’s request for a preliminary injunction, after he sued the #Trump admin in May over the revocation of his #security clearance. Zaid’s request called it an act of “improper political #retribution” that jeopardized his ability to continue representing clients in sensitive national security cases.

I got a concussion in 2015, my first semester of grad school, and it took seven months to recover because I would rest up to a point and then decide I was fine and try to push through the pain.

Most people want to get back to regular exercise after a COVID infection, but this is the WORST thing you can do. Significant physical rest is required even after most symptoms subside. Exercise at this critical time is poisonous. You need REST.

Astrophotography is normally a quiet, peaceful and relaxed occupation. No rapid movement required.
Except of course when you are half way through a 65 second exposure and a lion is heard to roar.
Here is the result of such an incident; part star field part chalet interior.
