Wow. Bloomberg obtained a recording of Steve Witkoff's October 14 phone call with Yuri Ushakov, Putin’s top foreign policy aide. This post-Gaza peace deal talk "appears to be the genesis of the 28-point peace proposal." Witkoff looks pretty dumb here. Amateur hour. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-25/witkoff-discusses-ukraine-plans-with-key-putin-aide-transcript
ngl most romantic shit I've seen in a while.
Fun stuff: VisiOn kernel has a memory-leak. Clicking the menu ~200 times in any app results in running out of memory, and eventually the system crashes. The easiest way to replicate the bug is to press "Esc" down (it will send the Escape key event over and over); it won't even do anything, just redraw the menu.
:D Please, don't let me fix a 42-year-old bug in an OS :D
Edit: it is a memory leak caused by the "display beeps as screen flashes" function :D

hab mich mal wieder an David Bowie versucht, aber der kommt einfach nicht an mich ran.
Entweder klingt er wie jemand anderes (oft ein bisschen wie Lou Reed) oder wie er selbst und da komme ich immer wieder zu "Under Pressure" - der stimmliche Abstand zwischen ihm und Freddie Mercury ist einfach extrem, Freddie singt ihn in Grund und Boden.

@glyph Re: your last boost. Rude.
“Another, and make it a double!” He said, sliding his glass toward the barman.
“Don’t you think you’ve had enough?”
The question obviously riled the disheveled patron, who locked eyes with the barman.
“My executive team asked me today how we can leverage AI as part of our quantum strategy,” he began. “We don’t even have an asset register.”
“My god. This one’s a triple, and it’s on the house.”

Something very cool just happened to #Montreal.
Last week I got to ride on the REM line, now fully open from Brossard to Deux-Montagnes.
Automated. Electric. Frequent (2.5 minute headways). Fast (100 km/h plus). Cheap to build. (One tenth the price of other systems)
And really fun to ride...

"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"

While exploring in my local woodland this morning I discovered something I have never seen here before: Hair Ice fungus.
It's really delicate and beautiful, and quite rare as it requires very specific atmospheric conditions in which to form.

This is so awesome, 
@ieeespectrum your turn!
Today I received the coolest, most thoughtful gift. Twice.
My day started out when a friend traveled from far far away, and dropped by to bring me a package on behalf of 
@anyiaAnyia, queer girl 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈, whom they had just visited.
It was a beautiful *handmade* puzzle box, with three interesting locks built into it, and a *four-page* letter of appreciation—the amount of effort they put into making me feel special is extraordinary 🥰
---
Then, a couple hours later, a package arrived from my girlfriend. Inside were two lever locks. One from the 1830s, and one from the 1920s that is stamped with "Mastodon" 🥰 The 4-lever lock is now the oldest I'm my collection, and the Mastodon lock is the first 8-lever lock in my collection.
---
And finally, a couple hours after the package arrived from my girlfriend, I got to meet a new friend from Mastodon in person for the first time—which was its own present 🥰
---
So today I got to add five unique new locks, several good memories, and a new friend to my collections.
It was a good frickin' day 💝
@anyiaAnyia, queer girl 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 pop! That middle lock was really interesting to pick, and holy shit that key!
I ended up using a long flat windshield wiper insert to slide under the far end of the lid, reach across, and poke the levers from the side while using a bent bike spoke to lift the lid slightly so I could make the levers bind.
