Democrat Positions in 2024 vs What MAGA Pretended They Were:

ON ABORTION: Let's weigh the possible rights of the unborn fetus against the actual rights of the adult woman whose body it's in and allow the mother the right to make the medical choice whenever possible.
WHAT THEY PRETENDED: Let's kill babies after they're born.

ON IMMIGRANTS: Let's give immigrants a safe and legal path to full American citizenship in this country, and while that's happening, remember that they are still human beings and are granted rights under our Constitution.
WHAT THEY PRETENDED: Let's allow all the fentanyl dealers unfettered access across our border so they can rape people, because we hate America.

ON TRANS PEOPLE: Let's let trans people exist, and provide access to safe and legal means of providing them life saving medical care.
WHAT THEY PRETENDED: Let's kidnap eight year olds in the middle of the school day and perform forced gender transition surgeries on them for fun.

We're finally addressing a behavior that has been driving some of us crazy with how floating windows transition from/to the overview on GNOME Shell

Here ya go, more than 7 minutes of unprocessed fireworks from behind my flat. I turned the binaural perspective towards the action a bit, since there wasn't much going on to the right of the mic due to how the buildings are laid out, but thanks to Ambisonics, this is actually possible without affecting the sound quality at all. You kinda get the xperience from right when it starts till... well, it starts to slow down again, including an ambulance. Enjoy, or something.

I read an article in the New York Times about what questions to reflect upon going into the new year. I thought I'd share the questions here.
1. What is worth remembering from 2025?
2. When did you feel the most joyful and carefree?
3. What gave you energy and what drained it?
4. What seemed impossible but you did it anyway?
5. What habit, if you did it more consistently, would have a positive effect on your life?
6. What did you try to control that was actually outside your control?
7. Is there anyone you need to forgive in 2026?

Re: #lastBoost. I was in San Diego at the beginning of december, and one of my Uber drivers (if you can still call them that) had a Tesla.

He looked in the stats, and since the last firmware update, ~90% of the miles driven were full FSD.

During our trip, he only took control once, when he didn't like the route the FSD was taking. However, it turned out that the route he wanted was actually blocked, so the FSD was right all along.

Два різних путіна звертались до росіян в цю новорічну ніч — InformNapalm звертає увагу на відмінності між версіями плешивих диктаторів, яких «крутили» по рашаТБ.

У першій версії російський президент був одягнений у чорну краватку. Однак уже за лічені хвилини це відео зникло з ресурсу, замість нього з'явився інший запис – цього разу з путіним у червоній краватці.

Через подібні факапи в минулих роках, аналітики припускають, що звернення «путіна» штампують за допомогою ШІ.

Does anyone know of a way to control iPhone ringtone volume specifically on headphones?
I want to have my volume loud because if I have computer headphones on, or am in the next room, I won't hear it. The ringtone volume also affects alarm volumes.
In the past this hasn't mattered, but over the past few months I've noticed that the call ringtone will blast through my airpods at full volume too. It is physically painful. I genuinely think it could cause someone hearing loss. There are 0 circumstances under which Apple should ever allow such a loud sound to come through anyone's earbuds.
But if I turn the volume down, my alarms are quiet. My ringtones on speakers are quiet.
In short, no Tim, I do not love it.

@bagder Random question, based on your recent boost (TIL! TY!).

Why does:

curl -w "%{json}" example.com

print all the JSON-ified variables on one line, but:

curl -w "%{header_json}" example.com

print the JSON-ified response headers on separate lines?

With one line, it's a lot easier to parse via jq.

Thanks!!

Little Johnny had just failed his law exam, but instead of sulking, he marched straight to his professor’s office with a plan.
Johnny: “Sir, is it true you know everything about law?”
Professor: “Naturally. I’ve been teaching it for over 30 years.”
Johnny: “Perfect. Let’s make a deal. If you can answer my question, I’ll accept my failing grade. But if you can’t… you give me an ‘A.’”
The professor, amused and slightly arrogant, agreed.
Professor: “Go ahead. Ask.”
Johnny leaned forward with a grin.
Johnny: “What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither legal nor logical?”
The professor froze. He thought. He scribbled notes. He paced the room. Hours ticked by, but he couldn’t crack it. Finally, red-faced and defeated, he gave Johnny an “A.”
The next day, still fuming and desperate for answers, the professor posed the riddle to his class.
Professor: “Who can tell me—what is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither legal nor logical?”
To his surprise, nearly every hand shot up.

He called on one student.
Student: “Sir, you’re 65 years old and married to a 28-year-old woman. That’s legal but not logical. Your wife is having an affair with a 23-year-old man. That’s logical but not legal. And finally… you just gave your wife’s boyfriend an ‘A’ after he failed his exam. That’s neither legal nor logical!”
The professor didn’t say a word.

He just fainted.

Yesterday was the perfect day for recording fireworks, and I mean... Just fireworks, as I live far aaway from any major roads. No wind, no summer sounds... problem... not many fireworks either, unlike most years. hear is the one I was able to capture, around 11:20 PM. if anyone wants the semi-raw 2 hour recording I made, although most of it hangs out around -30 to -50db, let me know. dropbox.com/scl/fi/m831tb38j9f…

@Christopher Duffley @André Polykanine @venetiana 🇵🇸 I would say what you should definatelly do is to make sure the original PDF document is tagged. For example Microsoft Office can generate tagged PDF documents and is readily available. Then if you would like to do something extra publish the same content as a part of your website i.e. an HTML document.
