Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved limiting campaign contributions in 2020. Four years later, the Legislature finally adopted limits, but an advocate for tighter controls says recent changes render Oregon’s contribution limits “illusory.”

Voters in This State Overwhelmingly Said Yes to Limiting Money in Politics. Then the State Legislature Had Its Say.

Some 78% of Oregon voters approved limiting campaign contributions in 2020. Four years later, the Legislature finally adopted limits, but an advocate for tighter controls says recent changes render Oregon’s contribution limits “illusory.”

Oooh, a prior oil crisis is what turned the Netherlands from a driving country to a bicycling country.

The Guardian: Do we want to keep fixing the same issue? Unlearned lessons from the first big oil crisis

As energy prices tripled in the 1970s due to Middle Eastern wars, Scandinavia, France and the Netherlands sped up green transition

theguardian.com/environment/20

Dutch cycle lanes “Holland saddle-sore but fume free” was how Guardian editors headlined an article in November 1973 after oil price spikes led the Dutch government to ban cars on Sundays. The three-month measure was followed by a number of structural steps – from segregated cycle lanes to designing people-friendly cities – that got people on their bikes and out of vehicles that chugged foreign fuels. “The decision of not using cars on Sundays made it clear that societies could do without them for one day,” said Jan Wittenberg, the first chair of the Dutch Cyclists’ Union, which was founded 50 years ago. “And it looked fantastic. There were picnics on motorways and kids playing in the street.”

New blog post -- how powerlifting and mastodon made me learn ffmpeg: ruthtillman.com/post/learning-

Powerlifting and Mastodon Made Me Learn FFmpeg | Ruth Kitchin Tillman

The desire to share my powerlifting videos on platforms with comparatively little capacity for large amounts of data led me to finally tackle FFmpeg. I share a bit about my use case, then describe and reflect on my process.

This is a shit take. Yeah, privacy as implemented in AP relies on a system of trust, with the assumption that the majority of players are acting in good faith, but sit down for this zinger: so does literally the rest of the infrastructure of the modern net.

If your argument were about the security of end-to-end comms where integrity and secrecy have to be verifiable, at least this would be a relevant perspective.

Who the hell are you to decide what the 'point' is, casually trodding on agency because it's inconvenient to you.

so no wifi, ethernet, or nvme. it sees the SD card, but not the eMMC.

of course none of them seem to drive the onboard display; this is all over serial console

What if the real impact of balcony solar will be all the political strength training that results from solar user vs. HOA drama?

A fraction of the people who end up having to "get political" to resolve some issue close to home tend to stay political

1. Trump launches a war against Iran.
2. Putin helps Iran track down and kill American service members.
3. Trump rewards Putin by lifting sanctions on Russian oil.

If Donald Trump isn’t a Russian agent, he’s going out of his way to make people think he is.

화제의 "AI 싸강 수면 학습법"을 써보겠습니다

말 그대로 싸강을 틀어놓고 자는건데요
이름의 AI는 사실 별 관련 없는데 그냥 붙인 말입니다
사실 화제인 적도 없었고 단어도 방금 만들어낸거지만 어쨌든 혁신적인 기법이라고 생각합니다

Good news for our trans friends:

The European Court of Justice on Thursday ruled that European Union nations must provide transgender citizens with identification documents reflecting their "lived gender" rather than their gender at birth.

To translate this for non-EU people, it's the equivalent of the US supreme court (the ECJ here) ruling that states (the EU Member States here) must respect people's gender choices.

Gender changes must be recognised across borders, EU top court rules | Euractiv

Countries cannot refuse to update civil status records if it hinders their right to live and move freely, the EU’s Court of Justice said

DID YOU KNOW that films look worse today than 20 years ago because L.A. switched its street lamps from sodium vapor to LED lights which are flat and have less contrast and Mrs Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me
