Look, I think Starmer's as much of a prat as the next guy but we can all take solace in the fact that we can call him that without risking the FBI at our door, and that he's not a senile, deranged, convicted sex offender right? Things could definitely be worse.
Ringo Starr is an amazing drummer, but, save for a couple of albums, his solo career is absolute dogshit. Really, really bad. But, hey, national treasure and all that.

Today in 1992, 33 years ago: The Federal Assembly of Czechoslovakia votes to split the country into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, with effect from January 1, 1993.
Yes things are generally worse than they were 20 years ago but we all still live an easier life than 99.99% of all humans to have ever lived, it's worth remembering that sometimes
I have a private code phrase known to no one but myself that I will use to verify it's really me if I ever meet my past or future self via time travel.
I work in telephone sales for an insurance company. The next two customers I had to call were Mrs Cockburn and then Mr Woodhead. In a moment of confusion I asked to speak to Mr Cockhead, immediately hung up and marked them both as Do No Contact in the CRM.
Ask a terminal cancer patient what matters most. In most cases it won't be a new car or a big follower count or their team winning the league. It will be time spent with friends, family, and nature
❓ Wodurch bleiben Regeln und Strukturen intakt, angemessen und wandlungsfähig?
❕Die eigene Organisationsweise regelmäßig zu reflektieren, ist wichtig. Es beugt Versanden und Vereinnahmungen vor, ermöglicht Machtfragen zu thematisieren und kann finanzielle sowie institutionelle Abhängigkeiten offenlegen. Insbesondere die Muster der Selbstorganisation durch Gleichrangige bieten Orientierung für diesen kollektiven (Nach-)Denkprozess.
🗿 »So wie ein Gemeinsames nicht ohne gemeinsames Tun entsteht, gelingt gemeinsames Tun nicht ohne bewusste Reflexion der eigenen Organisationsformen.«
👉 Die Projektwerkstatt Commons der Hochschule für Nachhaltige Entwicklung in Eberswalde nutzt diese Mustersammlung, um ihre eigene Selbstorganisation zu besprechen. 👉 Supervisionen und Coaching können helfen, die eigenen Strukturen zu visualisieren und anzupassen. 👉 Governance-Themen gehören regelmäßig auf die Tagesordnung. So kann zu Beginn von Treffen gefragt werden: "Gibt es einen Bereich unserer Organisation, den wir uns einmal in Ruhe anschauen sollten?"
Today in 1978, 47 years ago: The Geneva Frequency Plan of 1975 goes into effect, realigning many of Europe's longwave and mediumwave broadcasting frequencies.
I told my partner that I have to work from home over Christmas except for the bank holidays. My empoyer shuts down for a week so I actually get to sit in my home office and ignore the family
We grant access to the office network. We added a fictitious lady called Morag McTuckus to the directory who we can have 'meetings' with off-site. We also reply to email for her. It's gone undetected for so long we're now considering hiring an actor to play her at the xmas party
I was adding crap to my basket on Amazon when I realised I was on my nans account, so switched it to mine. Months later my Nan ordered slippers on there and all of the crap I added to her basket came with them. Now she's banned from online shopping and I can never tell her why.
Dad has been in hospital for a few weeks. No access to GB News. It has been very refreshing being able to have a normal conversation with him again, not one mention of immigrants or liberals.
🎉 The wait is over! All the talks from DjangoCon US 2025 are now live on YouTube. From keynotes to lightning talks, you can now watch (or rewatch) all the incredible sessions from Chicago. Whether you missed the conference or want to revisit your favorite talks, head over to our YouTube channel.
The Roman Empire prospered due to open borders, mass immigration and diversity then fell because of huge wealth inequality and corrupt leadership. I just thought I'd mention it.
Just finished reading a book I found lying and the house. Obvs written for pre-teen girls. Thoroughly enjoyed it: very well written and an excellent insight into that world; can't wait for the sequel. It will have to be a present for my daughter, though, as I'm a 47 year old man.
Firefox 147 Will Support The XDG Base Directory Specification
A 21 year old bug report requesting support of the XDG Base Directory specification is finally being addressed by Firefox. The Firefox 147 release should respect this XDG specification around where files should be positioned within Linux users' home directory... phoronix.com/news/Firefox-147-…
November 19 is World Toilet Day — officially declared by the United Nations to bring attention to the the 3.4 billion people who live without "safely managed sanitation." #news #NPRnpr.org/sections/goats-and-sod…
If the UK government was really serious about online safety they would have banned Twitter/X instead of implementing the Online Safety Act. That would've removed a major source of extremist hate but preserved small website communities and forums that offer safe aid and advice.
Someone on the train has just answered a call with "Sorry, I can't speak, I'm on a train". For a moment I thought the carriage was going to break into applause for them.
Dear AppleVis Community, Since our 2024 acquisition by Be My Eyes, making AppleVis available in more languages and to more people has been at the top of our wish list.

Systemd today finally merged support for building against and using the musl libc library. This is a win for Linux distributions like postmarketOS, Alpine Linux, and others that use musl by default as their standard C library or offer it as an option... phoronix.com/news/systemd-musl…
A win, because generally speaking, better interoperability is good, and making software more portable is good, and if it can improve systemd, the world will be better for it.
A win, because getting to that point proves that musl is finally, at last, being taken seriously by one of the most reluctant players in the ecosystem, so it's a sign that musl is a real, believable alternative now, and it will push more people and projects to try it out.
But also a danger, because it now means that systemd actually sees musl systems as targets. Systems that opted for musl were safe from systemd so far; maintainers were not tempted to switch to it because it was not a technically sound proposition. Now that systemd officially supports musl, no distribution is safe, and the survival of the non-systemd ecosystem now only depends on the technical judgment of distribution maintainers. Which has been subverted before, as Debian has painfully and dishonorably shown.
I would like to say I am cautiously optimistic. But I am actually terrified.
systemd is not a disease, i never understood why people act like it is.
if you own your computer, you're still super flexible on what you use as a system manager, and it just gives people the *option* to use systemd on musl systems if they want to.
nobody ever wants to force people to use systemd, but we (and I) want people to accept that it is a viable option.
@fossdd I don't think people realize that 1. distributions have the last say over any dependency, including whether they should package something or not, which completely disqualifies any accusations of attempts to force people to use systemd; and 2. systemd isn't some project managed by a single company: it's comprised of individuals from different organizations.
@TheEvilSkeleton @fossdd Oh, distributions have a choice. They make policy decisions all the time. They choose what to include, and what not to include, all the time, and it's a perfectly conscious choice. Not always an easy one, but a choice nonetheless.
Distributions are not powerless. As the entities actually providing software to the majority of users, they hold a pretty good amount of power. And if Red Hat, at the time, was not pushing systemd with all their might, I don't know how you would call what they were doing.
The fact that systemd is developed by a group of individuals from different organizations does not change the end output. I did not describe intent, but practical behaviour, and when faced with that behaviour, intent really does not matter.
