#Pakistan, a #nuclear-armed nation, warned #Iran that it has a mutual defense pact with #SaudiArabia, which considers an attack on one nation to be an attack on both. “It is a sovereign agreement & we are bound by that,” Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar told the Pakistani Senate. The Iranian leadership, he added, “should keep that in mind.” It remains unclear if Pakistan is prepared to enter a broader conflict against Iran.

난 딱히 작품? 사진 할 생각은 아니었는데 28-50-85라는 고전적인 단렌즈 트리오를 꾸리게 됐나...; 24mm는 너무 넓었고, 35~40mm는 너무 어중간했고, 망원 줌렌즈는 제대로 쓸 자신이 없었고, 24-105는 굳이 주력 렌즈를 700g까지 올리기 싫었고, 하다 보니.

포서드맨 출신에게 렌즈는 300g까지야. ㅋㅋㅋ 85.2는 500g이라 솔직히 좀 무겁지만 이건 마크로 겸용이라 참아주는 거임. 마크로 사진 재밌거든. ㅎㅎ;

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber and just my personal takes…

one, regardless of whether kurt was precisely a “trans woman”, the facts of his life basically place him under the trans umbrella somewhere. we can’t say how he’d identify if he were around now but we can describe the life he led as being genderqueer without any kind of speculation.

two, with everything we know about kurt, i imagine that even if he was cis that he would *love* all his trans fans pissing off bigots by calling him trans posthumously 😈

@Em0nM4stodonEm This is so detailed and thoughtfully written, thank you.

The Toolbox section alone is worth reading. I really like the focused approach to the articles.

So, in Lispy languages you can access the head and tail of a list with `car` and `cdr` (insert historical sidebar here about what these names originally meant). But maybe you want the second element of a list, e.g., the head of the tail of the list. Or maybe the list's elements are themselves lists and you want the tail of the head. And so on. For this reason, there are pair accessor shorthands: (caar ls) is shorthand for (car (car ls)), (cdar ls) is shorthand for (cdr (car ls)), and so on.

The cat is out of the box: @matrixThe Matrix.org Foundation is looking for a new Thib!

If you think you can be a good fit for the role, please send me an email explaining why and attach your CV.

If you tick most of the boxes but not all, please reach out nonetheless. It’s a tall order, but we have fantastic volunteers and a great handbook to help you settle into the role.

dpreview에서 3000불 이하 카메라 추천을 업데이트 했는데 R6M3를 베스트로, A7V를 그 바로 뒤에 놓았다. 디테일, 저ISO 기계식 셔터 DR에서는 A7V의 우위지만 R6M3의 핸들링, 동영상 기능에서의 장점을 더 크게 봄.

가성비 추천으로 꼽힌 Z6III 리뷰 때도 그랬듯이 여기 리뷰어들은 저ISO DR에 대해서는 괸대한 편이라는 점을 감안해야 할 듯.

나는 배터리 사용시간과 틸트 스크린까지 보면 이번 세대에선 A7V의 우위 아닌가 싶은데, 굳이 E 마운트로 넘어갈 정도의 차이까지는 아님. 현 내 RF 렌즈 구성에 대해서 만족하고 있기도 하니 내 선택은 업글 할 거면 R6M4를 기다린다,임.

I've seen a lot of people talking about the practice of code review in a way that I consider unrealistic lately. So here are my thoughts on what code review is—and isn't—for: https://blog.glyph.im/2026/03/what-is-code-review-for.html

Inside every temporary print() statement ... is a debug/verbosity level trying to get out.

Don't throw away that situational wisdom -- cache it.

Helpful info re: whether or not AIgen is more common in the ATproto ecosystem, as I suspected

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber ai usage has been normalised in most of the atproto dev ecosystem for a while now. just as some recent other examples,

tangled's seed round also explicitly mentions ai agents for coding as a use case (https://blog.tangled.org/seed) , and semble also targets ai agents as a use case (https://blog.cosmik.network/updates-february-2026)

You can guess my opinions, but I have left them out of this particular thread. My goal here was actually just to see if my gut sense was correct that Bluesky was heading in a vibecoding direction. I think that feels fairly confirmed based off the discourse I highlighted and also what seems to be an indirect response from Bluesky's team (though I think that's more because of what @davidgerard wrote about it than what I did)

Anyway, gnarly time, but people can decide for themselves whether that aligns with their values. One thing seems for sure: it's a bet many orgs are making, and this will be one thing where in the ~decentralized space we'll be learning much more about whether that bet pays off and results in a better or worse ecosystem over time.

Okay but this actually does make him a monster, right

In prep for the Windows 12 rollout, now is a good time to get your town's Linux Install Parties planned and advertised.

Here's my town's https://fxbginstall.party/

Here's a quick how-to guide to spinning one up in your town:

Goals:
- Install Linux on your neighbors' laptops. This preserves older laptops ( #permacomputing #ewaste prevention). This removes people from one part of the surveillance economy. And it saves people money.
- The party should be geared towards NON-TECHIES. This is NOT a Linux Users Group. This is not for enthusiasts. This for folks who just want their computer to work and let them do the basics. Bend the tech to the people, not the people to the tech.

Date and Time:
- Shoot for monthly parties. Try for a specific day of the week. Say the "First Saturday" or "Second Sunday" of every month.
- Easy for folks to remember and if they miss one month, they'll be there the next month
- Try for between two hours to four hours for the event.
- Be consistent. Show up for the full time even if no one shows up. Some times it takes two or three meetings before people start to come regularly.

Location:
- Shoot for a public community area
- The best bet is your local library if they have rooms or conference areas.
- City community centers are good, too
- Also look for religious institutions, civic orgs, or fraternal orgs if need be. It needs to be open to
the public, though, with no requirements to push other agendas on to visitors.

Linux Distro:
- Shoot for a single distro that caters to folks who are new. I usually go for Linux Mint, but go with what you like. Focus on ease of use and familiarity for folks who arent used to Linux or various Desktop Environments.

Waivers & Backups:
- Everyone should sign a waiver. You keep the signed waiver. They can have a copy of the waiver
- Explain that while you and other volunteers will make your best attempt to install Linux, you make no guarantees. You may brick their machine accidentally. And no files that were on the harddrive will remain. Everything will be deleted.
- They should make backups of their files before you start the install process (either online/cloud, or local on a USB)
- Some folks want you to try for a dual-boot, but thats up to you if you want to offer it. Still let them know that you might brick the machine even (especially?) if you try for a dual boot install.
- Example Waiver: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Installfest-HOWTO/legalprotection.html

Advertisements:
- Create a simple brochure website and fliers with info and time and date
- Use words like "Update to a modern, private, and fast operating system. No monthly subscription. No cost. Volunteers will install for you." Appeal to folks whose laptops cant upgrade. "Can't install Windows 11 or 12? Don't throw your laptop away, install Linux. It's free, up to date, and secure" Etc etc.
- Use your town's local social media (eg Town Subreddit, Online/Offline Classifieds, Library Announcements, Town Events Page)
- Post fliers in various coffee shops, libraries, bars, restrooms, and community centers
- Tell other similar groups (hacker spaces, maker spaces, linux groups, etc) both to spread the word and get volunteers
- Word of Mouth: Just tell everyone you run into. And tell them to tell everyone they know.

What to bring:
- Multiple install media/USBs with your Distro on it to install on the laptops
- A couple "Demo Laptops" with your distro of choice installed for people to try out (install games, office suites, common programs for folks to try it out - aim for what people use so various browsers including Firefox and Chrome, Zoom / Teams, LibreOffice, MS Office on browser, browser games, desktop games, etc)
- Your own laptops to do internet lookups and specialized downloads (weird stuff happens - its good to be prepared)
- Extension cables and power strips
- Cheap USBs for last minute backups prior to installation that folks can take home with them
- Some screwdrivers or tools to open up laptops for light repair if you like

What to do:
- Greet folks as they come in and invite them to try out the demos
- Encourage questions and discussions (AVOID DISTRO FLAME WARS OR WHICH WINDOWS MANAGER BEATS WHAT DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT FOR FUCKS SAKE! THESE ARE NORMAL PEOPLE DONT SCARE THEM AWAY WITH YOUR NERD SHIT!!!!)
- If folks brought laptops for installation explain and have them sign their waivers, make sure they know all files will be deleted, ask if they've made backups, and then install!
- Help folks troubleshoot issues or install programs for those that already have Linux installed and need community support

That's it. Make it a regular occurrence and you'll get folks coming in for fresh installs monthly and to ask for help with previous installs. Also a really chill way to meet other folks and have a lovely afternoon.

If you have any questions, post up in this thread.

If you have any suggestions or tips and tricks that have worked at your own Linux Install Party, share with us as well!

Using LLM backed codegen to falsely relicense from copyleft licensing like LGPL to anything resembling MIT/BSD style licensing isn't just laundering code - it's an active attack on the labour aspect of the free software movement. It is an attempt to undo forcing cooperation by using the existing copyright system, subverting the very commons which they plundered to create these tools.

This is why playing by the rules rarely gets you change.

Big conversation going on in social psych I am mostly just reading from the sidelines. (being not a social psychologist, and in fact, was pretty soundly mocked in grad school by one of the social psychologists when I expressed interest in the subfield). I've read and enjoyed the work of everyone being referenced here, so it's interesting reading for sure

Prove me you're a nerd with one sentence!

The best part of losing your job when you work from home is using your now former employers laptop to look for a new employer, until they send the box for it 😂 (don't worry, I'm good, it's actually a relief haha)

But the literal reason I was let go is that they think they can do all the shit we do with new AI bullshit. I highly doubt that.

So, fuck your AI nonsense. I've worked at that place for like, 14 years and they're fools if they think they can automate it and still get claims paid.

But good luck, assholes 😂

穆罕默德從西元六一○年蒙受天啟，六三一年掌握麥加，以約二十年的時間統一了整個阿拉伯半島，因此，他不僅只是先知、宗教領袖，他還是政治領袖。不像耶穌只需為信徒的精神生活提供指引，穆罕默德還得籌劃稅收、外交談判等政治事務，甚至是發動戰爭。
