With Bovino being sent elsewhere, everybody in America should learn about the chemical weapons ICE uses. From Minnesota Star Tribune, archived. https://archive.is/2026.01.26-130651/https://www.startribune.com/federal-agents-are-deploying-clouds-streams-and-spatters-of-chemical-irritants-what-are-their-health-consequences/601568140
I'm not saying the Trump administration is turning the US into a dystopian hellscape, but when the local newspaper needs to help you identify what toxic gas Federal agents are unleashing on citizens, I think it speaks for itself.

For FOSDEM first-timers, it's good to wear the shoes that work best for a lot of standing and walking and can handle rain and some puddles (depending on the weather). These might not be the best looking shoes you have (or they might be) it just needs to be something that once you put on you won't have to think about until you take them off, which will probably be hours and hours later. I am bringing two pairs with very different weights and support styles to switch between.
At some point, you gotta admit that putting it on the some guy who lives next to it to maintain accessible public space doesn’t work

I think I have enough of this done to keep it out of my head for awhile.
All my work on abstracting the adapters and crying over my keyboard as I hacked away at CSS was worth it.
Just by changing some querystring parameters, you can create a gallery of images from mastodon, piefed, lemmy, vernissage, or even bluesky.
Here's the base one - piefed photography feed. Piefed really shines with feeds - collections of related communities.

Diese ganze "Social Media erst ab 16"-Debatte ist doch auch ein riesiges Ablenkungsmanöver.
Das ist so als ob keine Verkehrsregeln gelten und deshalb Kindern das Fahrradfahren verboten wird. Und anstatt, dass wir drüber reden wie wir Regeln durchsetzen oder sie vielleicht auch anpassen müssen, diskutieren alle nur darüber ob man in dem Alter auch wirklich schon sein Gleichgewicht halten kann.
Trump Alleges That Democrats Secretly Paid Alex Pretti To Be Model Citizen
WASHINGTON—Claiming that no one would realistically devote their life to serving others without being funded by nefarious actors, President Donald Trump alleged Monday that Democrats had secretly paid Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old Veterans Affairs nurse killed by U.S. Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, to be a mod…

One thing I love about being involved in my College is I get a direct line on what young people are thinking.
In my circle of 30-50-somethings, it's taken for granted that "AI" is changing everything. Some people express caution that we shouldn't even take any position on software engineering education because it will be out of date within a week.
Meanwhile, my students are telling me that in their cohort, everyone is tired of AI and wants to learn proper software engineering.
One lesson here is: do you remember how clueless your boss was about everything? Recognise when you are in the "boss" demographic, and that your breathless enthusiasm and concern may be equally misinformed.
"Christine," they said, "we want to talk to you about something before you go off to college"
I thought they were going to warn me about partying
"You've really gotten into this Linux thing. But college is also a time where you're supposed to develop your social life, and if you just sit in your room playing with Linux, maybe you won't. We want you to uninstall Linux from your computer"
Oh! Well okay.
I lied and told them I would and wiped the Windows partition. Best decision of my life.
I wasn't much of a rebel but here it is
The moral of the story is: always rebel against your parents when it comes to doing cool things on your computer
Do you know how I got into FOSS stuff? Embarrassingly enough I went to a summer camp between junior and senior year of high school, I was def the oldest one at the camp, and took an "Intro to Linux" class
I got so excited I went home and bought a Red Hat for Dummies book and installed it from the CD-ROM
I got so into FOSS'y stuff over the next year my parents tried to do an intervention before I left for college
"Christine," they said, "we want to talk to you about something before you go off to college"

Sharing my wife's writing here, about this moment in Minnesota (1/4):
We are not ok. Alex Pretti should be alive tonight. Renee Good should be alive tonight. Our neighbors should be alive. Families should be together.
There is no normal life here. Not in South Minneapolis. Not when the federal government is moving through our neighborhoods to create fear, chaos, and ruined lives. This isn’t “enforcement.” This is terror getting normalized, block by block.
People are afraid to leave their homes. School is canceled again and again. We are watching families switch to virtual learning because it isn’t safe for their kids to be there in person. And when there is school, we are watching kids kept inside at recess because it isn’t safe to be outside, because ICE is here. We are watching kids abducted and used for bait. We are watching how scared they are. We are watching immigrant-owned businesses close early or not open at all. We are watching small businesses that barely survived 2020, COVID, and the Uprising get hit again, and we are watching that familiar look settle in, the one that says: we might not make it through this. This is what it looks like when you chip away at family life until the whole thing starts to crack. The assault is coming from every corner.
And it’s not random. It’s politically incited violence with real consequences, landing on real people in real neighborhoods. We already know what this looks like when it escalates. Last June someone came after our elected officials and their families, dressed like law enforcement, and Melissa and Mark Hortman were killed, and Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette barely survived. In August, two kids were killed at Annunciation during a school mass, shot through the church windows. Then in early December DHS launched its ICE “surge” here. On January 6 they announced they were sending up to 2,000 federal personnel into Minneapolis like our city is a proving ground, then added another 1,000-plus of their secret police, with a looming threat of military troops.

Lots of good programming languages out there, but I doubt we'll ever get one with the elegance and simplicity of #Lisp (I bucket here all derivates like #Clojure as well).
Sadly, most other languages suffer from an ever growing syntax complexity. Many people call the syntax of a language like #Python “simple”, but I think they actually mean it's "familiar” / “sensible" to most programmers and non-programmers. Simplicity and familiarity are two pretty different concepts, though.
Which languages do you like/favor for their simplicity?
Listen.
Normally, I'm reasonable. If something's install is curl url | bash, I know that it's not super secure, but neither is adding a random ppa to blindly install you know? I try to give the benefit of the doubt, and always read the install script without piping it directly into bash.
But ClawdBot being an AI agent with full computer access, then immediately being revealed to open ports with no auth needed? Then their official install method being curl url | bash? That shit is poetic.
This has gotta be like christmas for everyone who wags their finger at the curl url | bash install method.
