A Mexican-American friend who lives here on a Green Card and is the mother of five US citizens, including a US Army Vet and an LAPD officer, just collapsed into my arms crying, saying that she no longer drives on the freeway because she's afraid of being stopped by ICE and kidnapped.

Did someone trip over a network cable?

Just a thought

If you are a teacher with a sign in your classroom that says "Everyone is welcome here", don't resign if your admin says to take it down

Rather eat up their time in a long string of meetings to understand if it was the material, the font, the size, the ink color, ... until, they are like "OH FFS! TAKE DOWN THE SIGN!"

Then replace it with a bigger sign with bold letters that says "No One is welcome here"
Rinse, repeat
Then "Only Some People are welcome here"
etc.

American Oligarchs could be brought to their knees if everyone: a) Stopping using Facebook b) Stopped using X c) Stopped shopping on Amazon. d) Stopped using Google. Yeah, I'm not holding by breath.

Building a Debugger is now officially released!

It guides you through writing a whole native x64 debugger from scratch, dispelling all the magic and teaching you a ton about operating systems as it goes.

Even if you don't care about writing a debugger, you can read it to your cat.

Ever since iOS 7 I can't watch Apple's design videos without thinking they are built from a completely incorrect starting premise and goals.

"UI gets out of the way of your content"
"hides when not needed"
"only appears when the user needs them"

The details hardly matter when listening it feels like all of this has completely the wrong goals from the start.

TikTok's algorithm flagged me for using the word trans.

Seriously you can't make this shit up.

#NoKings Day Protest on June 14th. If you were considering going before, it is 10X more crucial for a massive show of organizing power now. Change whatever plans you have to now to join in. Here is a link to join in: https://www.nokings.org​

...Get It???...

Found out my department is getting outsourced to India. Management asked me to keep it quiet, but I told all my staff instead. Chaos in the office, company has ground to a halt making essentially no money. Corporate overlords can go gargle my sweaty balls.

Fun moment on approach to Paris CDG: a high speed train outpacing our plane

We were shooting from final approach so it wasn’t a top speed vs top speed comparison. But still, a pretty cool moment for window-seat train spotting

For decades historians, history students and the broader public have been wondering: How could people have let the Nazis win? Why did nobody do anything?

Well, now we, you know. It's easy to judge people in the past. But when it's up to us, we retreat to protect our own supposedly safe haven, we rationalize "it's not so bad", we prefer to stick to our communities on fascist platforms, rather than moving elsewhere. We stick to our routines hoping things will sort themselves out.

Reminder that if you like a website you should probably click on the "contact" link and tell the author you like their website

🐰 Oh I bet they get lots of email every day saying their website is cool, I'd just annoy them
🦝 Nope. I have a donations button and I'm not exaggerating when I say it gets hit a hundred times more often than my email address. People will literally transfer ten dollars from their bank account before saying "Hey cool website btw."

🐀 Wouldn't it be weird though
🦝 My learned friend, why do you think there's a "Contact" page on the website in the first place, it's so that you can say "Hey cool website btw."

🐴 This site hasn't been updated in ages, I bet they're not even interested anymore
🦝 Or maybe they stopped updating it because they had ten thousand people reading it every day but it felt empty and unfulfilling like shouting into a hole because only two of them ever emailed to say "Hey cool website btw."

🐹 But what do I even say
🦝 You say "Hey cool website btw."

Official stance of the Sentinel 65X project on AI-generated code:

Fuck AI-generated code.

I am inept where it comes to finding someone to take over my #Commodore collection. It is a total mess right now as I can't easily sort it all out. I don't speak German to the point where I feel confident joining the German forums. If I can't find a new owner for these things, it'll mean a rough thousand tapes, floppies, and A500 diskettes with various software will bitrot away, caps and batteries will deteriorate, and I might as well trash it all. Help? #Help #commodore64 #retrocomputing
