Lol, is so funny — disabled code search if you are not logged in.

Before, I successfully searched in some project's code without login, but looks like since 2026 desided to make things worse.

Thankfully, "git clone" through HTTPS and good old grep still working without GitHub account, lol

Screenshot of GitHub with attempt to see the search results for code in some project. Attempt failed, because for now it is mandatory to log in, to see search results for code.

The message in the page states: "Sign in to search code on GitHub. Before you can access our code search functionality please sign in or create a free account."Emacs frame with two windows: the "git clone" from GitHub repo in the top window, and the grep results on the bottom window.

‘ELITE’: The App Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid
Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address. ICE is using it to find locations where lots of people it might detain could be. Tool receives peoples’ addresses from Department of Health and Human Services () among other sources

Can somebody please explain what the exact differences are among the Home, Local, and Federated feeds? And what determines whose posts show up in my timeline for each?

I see lots of posts from people I don’t follow on the local and federated feeds. It feels like there is an algorithm somewhere feeding me that content. Am I wrong? If so, then where is that stuff coming from?

The more I learn about chilis the more I get to appreciate their individualities. For cooking I mostly prefer thai chilis, because their heat feels like a warm embrace, it's a full body kind of thing! When it comes to the superhots I really like the ghost peppers fruityness, and the carolina reaper is pretty good "overall".
Habaneros however, I don't like. They just taste like dirt.

The flat design revolution, which is now so deeply embedded in UI/UX we no longer bother to name it, has now moved its quest to make all icons monochrome, abstract and denuded of detail to the point where the "profile" icon for Tidal now appears to be some sort of glyph of a insect or fairy

Following historical trends, before long these icons will start to be used as analogues for their sounds, creating the basis of a primitive alphabet. What you see below will someday be the character for "P".

"Trump and his enablers have made a grievous miscalculation about the level of support for their dictatorial tactics. A strong majority of Americans oppose what ICE is doing and how it is conducting its operations."

추가적인 맥락: 해당 표현("은근슬쩍 스리슬쩍")은 이른바 "손가락" 관련으로 사이버불링을 당한 창작자가 과거에 올린 페미니즘 소신 관련 트윗에 포함되었던 것으로, 사이버불링 측이 SNS 사찰을 통해 발굴/박제하여 공격표적으로 삼았던 전례가 있는 표현입니다. 사실상 특정 과거 사건의 특정 피해자 개인에 대한 직접적 조롱 내지 2차가해로도 볼 수 있습니다.

"The only way to correctly predict the future is to pave it, is to brave it. So we have to have the courage to be able to stand up for not only ourselves, but for our friends, the members of our community, for strangers."

"Minneapolis is really taking it on the chin for most of the rest of us. The reason the streets of my own dense liberal enclave are not ringing out with shouts and whistles is because Trump’s 'day of reckoning' isn’t being fought here—yet."

"We are edging closer to crossing that fateful line when the military is called to put down civil unrest that has not just been provoked but sought after by a president eager to use retributive violence against his political foes while DHS puts out snuff videos that are, as Greg Sargent put it," (continued in 31)

one use of LLMs I don't quite understand is calendar management. my calendar is pretty nuts, but I'm not *that* busy, I can keep it myself. If i was busier I would like to have a human with a heart to take care of it, hopefully someone who cares about my well-being. but a robot seems particularly ill suited for calendar management, a vibes-based endeavor.

This New York Times video journalism -- caution, it's graphic -- about Trump goons' murder of a Minneapolis woman is essential. No both-sides bullshit when one party -- the regime and its vile propagandists -- is relentlessly and provably lying.

I'm often hard on the Times for its relentless failures to properly cover this regime, but this piece is the real thing.

scaled to 600px so @pj can afford his hosting bill. 😅

Edit: Someone asked for dog pics and I failed to reply to their original post and now I can't find it 😭. I love how all the modern "old man shouts at clouds" problems with social media don't go away just because we're on an island (peninsula?) now. 😂

Edit2: If anyone knows how to ONLY show theforkiverse posts, please let me know. Trending is really cool but it's also littered with a bunch of stuff that's baity.

“The thing that excites me the most is the idea of a landscape of local public libraries and public institutions in general being more involved in supporting music. If we could easily take a record out of the library digitally, it would be such a net good for culture. Maybe that is an area that’s worth giving some organizing energy to, even more so than trying to reform these streaming companies.” hearingthings.co/liz-pelly-on-

Better watch out next time you use WiFi on a plane. Because it's broadcasted unencrypted across the area of an entire continent via a satellite link. And it can be received using of the shelf TV satellite dishes.

Good part is: private connections are mostly encrypted due to stuff like Let's Encrypt.

Bad part: critical infrastructure doesn't use Let's Encrypt.

오픈소스 사무실 주소지를 제주로 옮기고 난 뒤 장점.

말만많고 도움 안되는 사기꾼에 가까운 xx팔이 이런 사람들 연락 아예 안옴. ㅋㅋ

정말 기술 얘기만 나눌 사람만 딱 연락옴.

다음주에 사무실에서 미팅이 한건 있어서 제주 넘어갈 예정.

nix-configuration、「ただし、一部の設定はハードコードされており、汎用性や再利用性を高める余地がある。」とか書かれてて、ハードコードしない設定ファイルとかあるわけねーだろボケとなっています
