pol / trans rights

Ipsos poll finds Canadians approving of both LGBTQ+ rights, and trans rights in specific, more than other countries, and finds support for trans people is still rising slightly here amidst the propaganda campaign that's meeting with successes elsewhere.

Collapsing a whole slew of complicated feelings to say this, but I feel really lucky I'm here

Canadians are ‘leading’ in LGBTQ2 support amid global declines: Ipsos - National | Globalnews.ca

Data released Friday by Ipsos in its annual Pride Report showed Canada was among the few nations where support has gone up among 26 countries surveyed.

아래아 한글 논란이 있고나서 동생을 보노라니

얼마 전에 Threads에서 아래아 한글과 관련해서 논란이 있었나 봅니다. 저도 저 나름대로 수저를 얹어서 생각을 Threads에 적긴 했는데요. 그 이후로 동생 녀석이 오늘 늦게 귀가를 해서는 컴퓨터 앞에 앉아서 회사 메신저와 네이버 웍스와 아래아 한글을 띄워 놓고 죽어라 타이핑을 하고 있었습니다. 유심히 살펴보니, 아래아 한글로 작성된 파일을 수정하고 있었는데요. 이게 아주 죽여주는 상황이었습니다. 네이버 웍스 드라이브에서 파일을 다운로드합니다. 그리고 수정을 합니다.

@stefanoStefano Marinelli @dgoodkin My view may vary greatly from my region to other regions. That said, in the first semester of the year I teach students entering university in food engineering, computer science, and automation and control. Most of them use Windows (and this includes Office and other Windows software), and those who have a programming background use VSCode to program Python.+

Is Mojo language not general purpose?

16 billion passwords exposed in record-breaking data breach: are you affected?

This is a colossal breach involving 16 billion exposed credentials — possibly the G.O.A.T. of all data breaches.

I've placed a security hold on Xlibre in Alpine, for a number of reasons that basically sum up to an unproven reactionary project whose code runs with elevated privilege (such as direct hardware access) is extremely high risk for introducing security-related regressions.

I do think a fork of X is a good idea, but that fork needs to be focused on sustainability: it should be focused on the generic drivers (such as modesetting for video and libinput for input), and there needs to be a real documented plan for maintenance and triage of security vulnerabilities.

Right now, I don't see that. Instead I see a fork of every component of X, including all of the hardware-specific drivers, and people complaining about politics.

This does not inspire confidence that the fork will not introduce security regressions, or worse, fail to import security patches from X.org.

For those reasons, at least for now, the security hold will remain indefinitely. We can reevaluate after the project has had time to mature (and hopefully start focusing on the fundamentals rather than wild proclamations about being "anti-DEI").

the thing that is always revelatory for me about the fediverse is that the fundamental thing (federation) actually just works? yes there are many many issues with the way applications integrate with each other.

but doing the hello world example for the fedify library, running a tunnel so my local code is reachable over a domain and seeing the actor show up in any random fediverse server is like magic. you'd think this is the part that would take 15 years to build, not the UI on top

here's the final version of the "redirects cheat sheet" draft I posted a while back!

("The Secret Rules of the Terminal" is finished! 95 beta readers have read it! the copy editor is done! technical review is done! the illustrator has made the cover! It's going to be out on *****Tuesday June 24*****")

cmd > file.txt cmd >> file.txt cmd < file.txt cmd 2> file.txt cmd > file.txt 2>&1 cmd1 | cmd2 cmd1 2>&1 | cmd2 three gotchas: 1. cmd file.txt > file.txt will delete the contents of file.txt some people use set -o noclobber (in bash/zsh) to avoid this But I just have "never read from and redirect to the same file" seared into my memory. 2. sudo echo blah > /root/file.txt doesn't write to /root/file.txt as root. Instead, do: echo blah | sudo tee /root/file.txt or sudo sh -c 'echo blah > /root/file.txt' 3. cmd 2>&1 > file.txt doesn't write both stdout and stderr to file.txt. Instead, do: cmd > file.txt 2>&1 panel 3: cat vs < I almost always prefer to do: cat file.txt | cmd instead of cmd < file.txt it usually works fine & it feels better to me using cat can be slower if it's a GIANT file though panel 4: &> and &| some shells support &> and &| to redirect/pipe both stdout and stderr (also some shells use |& instead of &|)

College baseball, venture capital, and the long maybe

Link: bcantrill.dtrace.org/2025/06/1
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

College Baseball, Venture Capital, and the Long Maybe

My son is a college baseball player. One of the singular aspects of having kids is that they open your eyes to facets of humanity that you might not have seen otherwise. I was not a college athlete (and knew little of even baseball until he got the bug at age seven), so I have learned much along the way. You — perhaps like me several years ago — may have an idea of how college athletics proceeds: that a kid plays well in high school; that it informs the schools to which they apply; that they have some conversations with coaches when considering where to matriculate; that they go to a school; that they play for four years.

It's always fun to go over a street's speed limit on my bike. It doesn't happen very often, but that just means that Toronto street speed limits should be lower. Too many places are 40 km/h (and unenforced, ask me how I feel about that).

(Shaw is 30 km/h and mildly downhill southbound above Bloor, so it's entirely possible to boot it along there if you feel like it.)

Layoff notices delivered to hundreds of Voice of America employees

Layoff notices were sent Friday to 639 employees of Voice of America and the U.S. agency that oversees it, effectively shutting down the outlet that has provided news to countries around the world since World War II. Three journalists working for the Persian service on Friday, who left their office for a cigarette break, had their badges confiscated and weren't allowed back in, according to one fired employee. In total, some 1,400 people at Voice of America and the U.S. Agency for Global Media, or 85% of its workforce, have lost their jobs since March, said Kari Lake, Trump's senior advisor to the agency.
