I published a new article, 'Exercise Caution When Using runBlocking on Android'.
In this article, we will delve into its internal mechanism and explore why it should be used cautiously by looking at some sample cases, particularly in Android.
@rommix0 well, for sure Grok... Deep-seek is a bit questionable. While it's good they got to make the weights with less power, safety appears to be out the window with it and there was a lot less review of that by the Chinese. So I could see the rise of some of these open ones spurring further changes there on it.
CNN — Two top USAID security officials put on administrative leave after attempting to refuse officials from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency access systems at the agency. cnn.com/2025/02/02/politics/us…
Nearly 30 career staff in USAID’s Legislative and Public Affairs bureau lost access overnight to their emails, bringing the total number of senior agency career staff who have been put on leave over the past week close to 100, reports Reuters. reuters.com/world/us/more-usai…
The CAQ government's dirty little not-so-secret secret about the province's emergency rooms is a refusal to continue to educate, vaccinate, update, etc. the citizens about COVID-19, influenza, RSV, etc. spreading at an alarming rate..
But, hey, CAQists are gainfully employed at the fancy, new bloated piece of garbage organization *COUGH* SANTÉ QUÉBEC *COUGH* to put out lies and bullshit and make cuts to healthcare. montreal.citynews.ca/2025/01/3…
Emergency rooms in the province continue to run at overcapacity, and in some areas like Montreal and the 450 region – Laval, Lanaudière, and the Laurentians – the situation is being called “fragile.
Wired has identified 6 young men helping Elon with his illegal coup inside our Office of Management and Budget (OMB), their names are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran

Very honest analysis from the #matrix presentation at #fosdem. Chasing shiny things is fun, but it doesn't help mainstream adoption or core development.
@ansiwen the learnings from dendrite basically got backported to synapse. (and dendrite is continuing on a best-effort basis, and hopefully will be funded again some day).
@jezdez @robin the "killer app" being discussed was literally a compelling, native, workhorse client :) no intention to imply it was something novel - just the opposite, in fact.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio today met with Panama’s president and foreign minister and made clear that the status quo with the Panama Canal is unacceptable and that absent immediate changes, “it would require the United States to take measures necessary to protect its rights under the Treaty.”
What rights is Marco talking about? I'm somewhat confused... The United States's rights to the Panama Canal have evolved over time, shaped by treaties and agreements with Panama. Here's a breakdown: Historical Context: * Early 20th Century: The US acquired the right to build and operate the Panama Canal through the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty in 1903. This treaty granted the US control over a 10-mile wide "Canal Zone" in Panama. (1/5)
* Neutrality Treaty: This treaty guaranteed the permanent neutrality of the Canal and allowed the US to intervene militarily if the Canal's neutrality was threatened. * 1999: The Panama Canal Treaty came into full effect, and Panama assumed full control over the Canal. Current Situation: * Panama's Sovereignty: Panama is the sovereign nation over the Panama Canal. It is responsible for the Canal's operation, maintenance, and defense. (3/5)
* Neutrality Treaty: The US retains the right to defend the Canal's neutrality, but this does not give the US any ownership or operational rights. * Cooperation: The US and Panama cooperate on matters related to the Canal, including security and environmental protection. Key Points: * The US no longer owns or operates the Panama Canal. * The US has a right to defend the Canal's neutrality, but this right is limited and does not infringe on Panama's sovereignty. (4/5)
* The Panama Canal is a vital waterway for international trade, and its smooth operation is in the interest of both the US and Panama. In summary, the US's rights to the Panama Canal have changed significantly over time. While the US played a crucial role in the Canal's construction and operation, it now recognizes Panama's sovereignty over the waterway. The two countries maintain a cooperative relationship to ensure the Canal's continued operation and neutrality. (5/5)
The CAQ government thought they could work on a wide range of commercial, economic, political,, etc. matters of interest to CAQists by having offices in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Miami...
HOW ABOUT CLOSING THESE OFFICES AND STOP WASTING TIME, EFFORT, AND MONEY ON THIS KINDA PROPAGANDA BS!
📢 160,000 Voices Against the Far Right in Berlin! 🚨
Today, an estimated 160,000 people filled the streets of Berlin in a powerful protest against the far-right party AfD. The march stretched along Straße des 17. Juni, sending a clear message: No cooperation with the AfD!
Heute war auch in Brandenburg an der Havel Demo für Demokratie und gegen den Rechtsruck, gegen die Afd und Friedrich Merz. Tatsächlich gab es sehr gute und bewegende Redebeiträge.
> As for the rest of us: Make sure you are talking to people and doing something. The logic of “move fast and break things,” like the logic of all coups, is to gain quick dramatic successes that deter and demoralize and create the impression of inevitability. Nothing is inevitable. Do not be alone and do not be dismayed. Find someone who is doing something you admire and join them.

FYI The initial tariff list... personally, we have a handful of things we'll need to find substitutions for, i.e. protein shakes, wet wipes, etc., but that's not a bad thing, IMNSHO.
ALSO: Going to stop patronizing certain pissant-supporting companies, i.e. Walmart, etc.
I'm continuing my databending series with a look at MP3s. We'll talk about how to glitch and corrupt them into oblivion while still leaving them playable!
Very interesting post. I'm also really intrigued by the RSTelecom plugin, are you planning to make a compiled version of that available as well in the future?
@pitermach I was actually surprised I hadn't already done so when I linked the repository in this post the other day! The plugin doesn't have everything completed, but I can definitely make a compiled version. I unfortunately only have setups on Mac and Linux to compile it — I'll probably have to figure out a GitHub action or something to get a Windows version. What OS are you looking for?
I mentioned a lo-fi plugin I made with cell phone codecs, and I just published an initial release! There are some features that are still in the works, but there are plugin files available for macOS, and the codecs and downsampling work:

If you work in government and are asked to remove content from websites (as a result of executive orders), please use the HTTP status code 451 instead of 404.
451 is the correct status code to use for these cases, and you'll be doing the rest of the country a service by using it.
Addendum: you should also include a Link header with the link relation "blocked-by" that "Identifies the entity that blocks access to a resource following receipt of a legal demand."

“I think the information that you’re going to have about this is available to you right now,” Stephanie Holmes told workers at Elon Musk’s DOGE who pressed for detail on offers of “deferred resignation.”
