here's an idea: how about declaring a world government that anyone can join as citizen, but it starts as a planning game. that is, its rules initially only apply within the game but do come into real world effect in 2036.

that is, we adapt and simulate our world government until Realization Day.

in fact, you can only participate if you agree to this rule and swear an oath to bring about Realization Day, whatever it may look like.

“It’s simple,” she said. “To understand how it all came to be, we have to talk about the old magics of the DEC. See, when the VT100 ca—”

“I'm going to let you finish, but if you're going to convince me that Alt-Left should ever echo ‘b’, you'd better blow my /freaking mind/”

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".

The main takeaway from Trump threatening to use the Insurrection Act is that he is able to remember and repeat this unfamiliar multi-syllable word, which implies that people adjacent to him must be talking about it an awful lot

Several of you have asked for something you can do to help Minneapolis. I have something concrete:

Here is a fundraiser for families at Seward Montessori, a Minneapolis public elementary school. Many families in the neighborhood are sheltering at home, and unable to work and/or get groceries. Parents at the school have organized this fundraiser to help out.

I know the graphic is a bit generic and doesn’t say much, but don’t worry: I can vouch for this fundraiser. It’s vetted, and it’s needed.

I've been a bit of a broken record on this... but the fact that Greenland's only North American neighbour, Canada, is not participating in this is concerning.

All we had to do was send literally one military attaché or something.

We are isolating ourselves. Trump doesn't give a *ck what we do, and the Europeans are being shown that our “pragmatic" leader is actually utterly spineless.

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.

W związku z wykorzystaniem danych przez / Palantir chciałem wam przypomnieć świetny tekst od @didlethdidleth 🇵🇱 🌈 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 ⚡ z października 2025. Rządy europejskie TEŻ idą na współpracę z !

"Udostępnianie danych zachodnim korporacjom to dla Europejczyków chleb powszedni. Indywidualni użytkownicy bezrefleksyjnie opowiadają o sobie w socialmediach (a dziś dzielą się swoją prywatnością z chatbotami), a instytucje masowo korzystają z produktów Microsoftu. Korporacje mają środki na lobbing, a użytkownicy przyzwyczaili się już do ich wszechobecności – korzystanie z korporacyjnego i znanego softu jawi się jako po prostu wygodne.

Trudno się więc dziwić, że w sytuacji, w której chodzi nie tylko o wygodę, ale bezpieczeństwo i społeczną panikę, emocje biorą górę i europejscy politycy sięgają po rozwiązania “od sojuszników” równie bezrefleksyjnie, jak Pippin spogląda w Palantir we Władcy Pierścieni.

Tymczasem ryzyk i niebezpieczeństw związanych z firmą Thiela jest tyle, że trudno je wszystkie wymienić."

"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."
