@Transportist I used to live just up the (pictured) staircase from there

The way that every single rich man in America immediately began to kiss the ring after Trump was elected tells you everything you need to know about how unrestrained Capitalism corrupts democracy.

Of course, #AOC has it exactly right. The "Intelligence" against #TikTok was weak. She finishes the video by explaining what actual legislation against spying should look like.

Important paper by scholars Petter Törnberg and Juliana Chueri brings data to show that the alleged epidemic of disinformation is not widespread across the political spectrum or manufactured by technology but is a specific tactic of far-right extremists exploiting the vulnerability of both an open society and mass media's attention economy.

Support for the MSVC port is returning, as is statistical memory profiling now compatible with multicore projects.

This post highlights new and restored features, notable changes and user experience improvements, plus some bug fixes. There is no way that I can cover… https://tarides.com/blog/2025-01-09-ocaml-5-3-features-and-fixes?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #OCaml #OCamlPlanet

With profound sadness, I share that we've lost our good friend and colleague Brendan McAdams (@rit ). A brilliant programmer and cherished member of our community, Brendan was a core contributor to Perl and someone who stood firmly by his principles throughout his career. Please boost so others may know his name and legacy. (1/8)

@ross @armurray Oh, no. I’m not sure Brendan and I ever met in person but I always looked forward to trading some hockey taunts or just a funny little exchange. It wasn’t often but I felt privileged every time we exchanged words.
