it saw another windows aero theme for kde. that's cute but it thinks gnome also deserves some love too
anyways here's a gnome desktop composited by the real aero dwm.exe from win7
Asked the shoggoth robot a research question, and got back: “This suggests the design space you're interested in is still relatively unexplored in open source. You might be building something novel.”
Good, good, that means my chances of getting to do it for work are essentially nil. It seemed like an obvious idea to me, though, so... really?

friendly reminder: the nicer you are to people who arrive here from other platforms, the better chances that they will stick around, and not bail because they were shamed away for one reason or another.
Pretty happy with this https://htmx.org + https://umbrellajs.com combo I'm playing with right now. Seems like the right mixture of nicer client-side affordances, but not overly complicated.

Let’s be kind, friends. A new user on the Fediverse is…well, we’ve been there ourselves.
月曜日は法定休日にすべきです
BREAKING: A new video out of Minneapolis shows the truth #ICE doesn’t want you to see… compliance does not protect you.
In this video, ICE agents pull up to a vehicle and immediately demand the driver’s ID.
The man calmly asks the most basic, #LegallyProtected question: “Why am I being pulled over?”
They never answer… because they don’t have a legal reason to stop him.
Even so, the man begins to retrieve his ID anyway.
An #agent then orders him to turn off the vehicle. The driver says, “No problem, sir, I’ll get out.”
The agent refuses, then immediately changes commands again: “I need to see your ID.”
Suddenly, an agent on the passenger side pounds on the window. Then he strikes it with a hard object, clearly threatening to break it.
At the same time, the driver-side agent again demands the ID.
This is not confusion. This is intentional command overload… a tactic used to manufacture “noncompliance” so force can be justified.
ICE’s own training materials explicitly state:
“Noncompliance or refusal to cooperate with officer commands, without fighting back, does NOT violate 18 U.S.C. § 111.”
In plain English: not immediately obeying commands is NOT a crime.
And here’s the key legal issue:
Unless agents have:
• a valid arrest warrant, or
• probable cause that a specific crime has been committed
they cannot:
• use force
• break windows
• issue violent threats
• detain or arrest someone
#ProbableCause
means specific, articulable facts that would make a reasonable officer believe a crime occurred… not vibes, not attitude, not silence, not filming, not asking questions.
Back in the video, the passenger-side agent escalates further, shouting:
“First time I ask you to roll your window down, you do it.”
The driver responds:
“Are you in danger, sir? Are you escalating this?”
The agent replies:
“I don’t know. Hands up.”
Despite the driver repeatedly attempting to comply and hand over ID, agents continue shouting conflicting commands.
At one point, the agent orders the driver to “talk to the original agent”… which is exactly what the driver was doing before the window-smashing threat.
Then the man asks, “Are you feeling unsafe or uneasy?”
The agent responds, “I don’t know, man.” while standing on the passenger side of the car, smirking.
The driver finally says what anyone would say surrounded by armed men:
“How many guns do I have around me? I need you to calm down. I’m asking him to stop banging on my car. Is that too much?”
He even offers… again… to step out of the vehicle.
This is not law enforcement. This is intimidation fishing for an excuse.
No probable cause.
No warrant.
No lawful basis for force.
And yet, the escalation came entirely from the agents.
This video proves something chilling: you can comply, stay calm, ask lawful questions… and still be threatened with violence.
So, the question isn’t “Why didn’t he just comply?”
The question is how many people have already been assaulted under this exact playbook… and how many more will be, before this stops?

To be clear, I don't trust Fedi to handle this information with care, either. Difference being that on Fedi, your mods aren't some VC/blockchain-funded corporate entity. They're often enough your friends, your neighbors, or yourself.
While there are certain database-related exploits which can be used to pull a blocklist, often enough that's a challenge for a typical layperson with an axe to grind. And it's an incomplete picture thanks to the quirks of federation. Not so on Bluesky.
I'm not going to talk about Bluesky anymore for a bit, but I know folks are coming back here after hanging out there for a while, and I want to encourage Fedi users not to gloat, not to be jerks about it.
And if you're just (re)joining us on Fedi, like all affinity groups, you're going to run into enthusiasts who are gloating, but I promise most of us are just happy you're here and want to help make this place awesome for you. <3

TL;DR Most EV batteries will last longer than the cars they’re in. Battery degradation is at better (meaning: lower) rates than expected. Slow charging is better. Drive EV and don’t worry about your battery.
„Our 2025 analysis of over 22,700 electric vehicles, covering 21 different vehicle models, confirms that overall, modern EV batteries are robust and built to last beyond a typical vehicle’s service life.“

I'll be at #EO2026 this week, talking about some of my experiences as a freelance open-source programmer and the hidden costs to me and my family that we don't talk about much when we discuss funding for open source.
I'm still putting the talk together, and I'm not quite sure yet what it will be. I know what point I want to make, I think, but it's all quite personal and messy (ie human) and turning that into a single cohesive story is tricky!
Anyway, come along if you're able, I'd like to see some friendly faces ☺️

想來還是那句老話。愈富有的人，無論是金錢、時間、精力、還是心情，總是愈有餘裕顯得大方跟做好事。反過來說，沒辦法的人多半就是在某些地方相對匱乏。這不是在批評，正好相反，我覺得其實絕大多數的行為，都是受到這些影響，而非那個人的本質。但這也不是說這是能輕易改變的，甚至根本無法改變。環境跟內心的狀態能那麼好改變的話，人人都能改過向善了。我只是愈來愈覺得，其實人沒什麼本質可言，或是得把後天的環境影響全部歸到本質。
攻殼機動隊說軀體跟靈魂是互相影響的，兩者加起來才是本質。我想，恐怕還得把環境經驗也加上去才行。不知道該說人是個很會適應的生物，還是無法適應的生物。至少那不是自由意志可以控制的，我想。

We had come to Kamchatka to make a ski descent of Klyuchevskaya Sopka, at 4750 metres in height, the highest volcano in the northern hemisphere. But the weather had not been kind. For two weeks we were beset by high winds and storms. Then we made an attempt to reach base camp by snowmobiles. The savage scenery blew my mind
