Democrats proving that they are the 2nd worst political party in America once again. Demanding that ICE wear body cams. Did they not see the video where he filmed himself shooting her in the face with his own cell phone? What the fuck do you think a body cam is gonna do. They’re proud of it. They want you to see it. They are terrorists.

스페이스X와 xAI, 그러니까 머스크의 개인회사 구 트위터가 합병할거라고. 스엑이 상장하는거 생각하면 진짜 웃긴 짓거리네요. 적자 감당이 안 되겠지.. 국내에 트위터의 투자유치로 언급된 보도 후속인 듯.
정말로 트위터는 화성을 가네요.

Yesterday I wondered aloud why RSS readers look like email clients.
@brentsimmons replied. Turns out he borrowed that layout for NetNewsWire in 2002 — and twenty years later, he's asking why no one's tried something different.
That conversation became an essay. I built a visual version (with an ASCII fallback).
Y'all have probably seen the elections update:

So that the folks who elected me know, I will be stepping down from the board at the scheduled end of my term (this March), regardless of election changes.

Filming Cops For Scared People
If you are in a public space and "a safe distance away" and "not getting in the way" you are following all of the laws when filming openly.
Shockingly even if you are clearly doing all of these things a police officer may react as if you aren't. Be ready for that reaction.
The more people do this the more video there will be so the truth gets out to the public. But, even if the video isn't important it sends a message about your community and expectations.
Filming Cops For Scared People
The more videos there are from more angles, the harder it gets for anyone to fake a video as it would have to match up with the rest 100%.
Due to various ways of faking things, it's more important than ever to have multiple angles in order to preserve the truth.
It is really hard to fake something when there are multiple other genuine angles of the same event.
TIL that you can enable 120hz refresh rate with UTM/QEMU by using the "video" kernel command line option, for example:
video=Virtual-1:3840x2160@120
I wonder why this isn't exposed in UTM settings and/or why QEMU display EDID only exposes 60/75hz modes by default.
It's cool that the only reliable CI out there is driven by perverse corporate incentives, and that the very awesome CI run by volunteers and nonprofits is continually being taken down by AI scrapers and build tooling that assumes computation time is cheap.
Ich finde es erschreckend, dass gerade überall über "Europäische Alternativen" gesprochen wird und dass wir "was eigenes neues brauchen" und keiner von den Holzköpfen merkt, dass das alles längst existiert: #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Loops - alles schon da, alles dezentral, kein "W" statt "X" oder eigenes TikTok - man muss sich einfach nur mal umschauen. Recherchiert doch mal ordentlich!

vivaldiが更新して、タブをおしゃれタブみたいに1画面に大量に表示する機能ができてとてもいい感じだけど、相変わらず、はてなブックマークのコメントをXに転送するときにポップアップの入力画面とTL上部の入力画面と同時に表示されてるな。リロードしないと消えない。これダルいからやめてほしいけど、もしかしてXの改悪だから直しようがないのかな？スマホからなら問題はないんだけど。

@codinghorrorJeff Atwood heh I discovered Georgism from Usenet 25 years ago now.
Henry George got his idea while living in SF and seeing the previously open land of the east bay shoot up in value . . . that was his 'ah hah' moment, and once you see it, you can't unsee it it.
Mason Gaffney's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corruption_of_Economics is good, but the core document I go to is this:

Heating homes with the largest particle accelerator

sometimes i wish i was born circa 30 years ago and got into programming at the peak of the home computer revolution.
me, some guy i met in uni who calls himself Gibby "The Splice" Ronnalds, and a random executive from a AAA publisher who decided to give us $15,000 based on a newspaper ad we bought as a joke. we're given twelve weeks to make the top down shooter we promised we'd been able to do. all i have is a C compiler i got on a floppy from a garage sale, and all gibby has is an amiga with a cracked copy of the ultimate soundtracker. we don't have an artist, but i notice my mum's cross stitching patterns look remarkably similar to pixel art, and i give her a stack of grid paper and a box of coloured pencils and tell her to have at it.
the game is looking to be pure unadulterated dogshit right up until nine days before release, where a bug that causes the AI planes to go hyperspeed inspires us to add a "nitrous" mechanic. we rename Flyin' High with Gibby to Aeronauts! and rework the entire game from a WWII dogfighter to a racer. the publisher is furious, but we sneak into their office after hours to write a bunch of floppies and distribute them to Computer Gaming Madness magazine. the guerilla reviews are phenomenal, we get the green light. critics call out the sprite art as the highlight of the game.
the publisher was trying to scam us by giving us 10% royalties on a game they thought would bomb, but we become millionaires. they can't write floppies fast enough to keep up with sales.
thirty years later, in the present day, we're bought out by activision to make a battle royale mode for Call of Duty: Samsung Smart Glasses Edition with Bixby.

“구룡마을이 1960년대에 머문 이유는 직접 배제와 간접 배제가 겹치면서 방치가 제도화됐기 때문이다. 그래서 지금 주민들의 재난지역 선포 주장은 국가의 책임을 확정하라는 요구다. 인명 피해가 없다는 건 다행이지만, 30년 넘는 야만의 시간을 보상해야 한다. 늦더라도 그게 문명이다.”
