Defending Jan. 6 Rioters, Investigating Democrats: How Ed Martin Is Weaponizing the DOJ for Trump
—
Since becoming interim U.S. attorney, Ed Martin has launched controversial investigations, rushed to defend Elon Musk’s DOGE and vowed to change how his office prosecutes crime in D.C. These are some of his most contentious actions.

In 2021 I was interviewed, by my then employer CrowdStrike, on my experience as a trans person, coming out, acceptance at work, and some book recommendations.
It has since been removed from their website but I think it’s important to keep these kind of stories alive: moiety.me/embracing-who-you-ar…

Meson 1.8.0 is finally out. The way options can be set and unset has been completely reworked. This is probably the biggest refactoring ever in Meson. It took me on the order of 1.5 years to get it done.
So ... enjoy overriding options per-subproject from the command line but also expect regressions I guess?

I wrote a book on Linux Memory Management, published by @nostarch - it's a comprehensive 1300 page exploration of Linux 6.0's memory management code, depth-first, diving into the code and REALLY explaining how things work.
The idea is to avoid hand waving as much as possible and literally explore what the kernel _actually_ does.
It's full of diagrams and careful explanations of logic including a ton of stuff you just can't find anywhere else.
It's currently available in its entirety in draft form via early access when you pre-order.
It's available at nostarch.com/linux-memory-mana…
:)
This exhaustive guide to the Linux memory subsystem is the first major resource since 2004 to cover key concepts and essential techniques for developers.nostarch.com

The question is not really who will buy #TSLA, but whether or not anyone will. The real question is whether or not #Tesla has anything fundamentally valuable in the long term that can be bought.
Tesla doesn't really seem to have any technology assets. I can see that maybe their battery manufacturing operations might hold value, assuming anything we have been told about the company is actually true, and we can't be sure, because Tesla's CEO is a liar. But the cars?

Yesterday at the #PlayStation concert, a young, blind man sat next to me.
We got talking and it turns out he is an accessibility consultant for companies, including video game developers and has worked with Sony on God of War and other products!
He goes by his handle: Sightless Kombat.
He is entirely #blind from birth, but loves video games so is passionate about accessibility in the sector.
I told him to come join Mastodon as I think it’s the friendliest social network for visual impairments, he said he was thinking of joining but wasn’t sure which instance was good. I’m not sure if there is one that’s dedicated to visual impairment? I just told him to join mstdn.games 😅
Anyway, here’s his YouTube & Twitch channels, and website if you’re interested in seeing what he has to offer. The dude has platinumed God of War Ragnarok on its hardest difficulty, what a legend!

Gestern wollte er das IFG abschaffen, heute wird Philipp Amthor Staatssekretär im Digitalministerium – das ist, als würde man jemandem, der den Feuerlöscher abschaffen will, das Kommando über die Feuerwehr geben.
Im Übrigen kennt sich Amthor mit Digitalisierung ja bestens aus: Er war neben seinem Bundestagsmandat auch beim windigen KI-Startup Augustus Intelligence beschäftigt, für das er sein Bundestagsbriefpapier nutzte. Das Startup ist inzwischen pleite...

One of the cool traditions that I appreciate very much in Canadian elections is how we tone things down on Election Day.
1) Most people stop talking partisan politics -- It's the day to vote, debate is over. That's why you won't see me posting partisan stuff today (US Presidential Interference aside).
2) In general, it's considered impolite to ask people who they vote for. Even when door knocking for a party on the doorstep, the question is not “will you be voting for us”, it is “may I ask who you might vote for”, and very often the answer is, “no, you may not ask”, and that's OK and everyone moves on.
People respect other's right to make their own decision.
Take care all. Please vote. Have a wonderful day and celebrate our wonderful country and democracy.
You might have seen a post being shared around saying Canada has opened up its suicide hotline to American citizens with Trump threatening a shutdown of ours in the US.
The number it links to is the Trans Helpline. This is likely a right wing attempt to try to flood and overwhelm the hotline and hurt trans people.
Please be careful and check on this before you share them. And if you see an account for a Jeras Ikehorn which seems to be bridged here from Bluesky, know this is the second time in several weeks they have blatantly shared misinformation that harms trans people.

O2 už od minulého čtvrtka znovu blokuje několik našich domén jejich službou vtipně nazvanou "O2 Security" kterou zákazníkům automaticky zapíná.
Řešíme jak se bránit formální cestou - stížností na ČTÚ a předžalobní výzvou - do té doby ale oceníme vaší pomoc.
Co pomůže? Kontaktovat O2 a dožadovat se odblokování.
A taky pomoc se zviditelněním problému, tak aby ho začalo O2 seriózně řešit. Nejspíš totiž nebudeme jediní koho bezdůvodně blokují.

Nothing just launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro with a 50MP main camera, 50MP telephoto camera, and 8MP ultra wide camera.
Like last year's model, you can swap the back cover but this time you can also attach their fisheye/macro lenses. Unlike last year's, the 2 Pro supports NFC!
Elsewhere it has a 6.77" FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED, a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chip, and a 5000mAh battery with 33W charging speed. Oh and its design certainly stands out, as usual.
For $279, this seems like another great value budget Android phone from Nothing!
Check out C. Scott Brown's review of the CMF Phone 2 Pro over on Android Authority:

The CMF Phone 2 Pro is the new budget phone from Nothing. It's bold, beautiful, and innovative. It feels like a phone worth twice its price.C. Scott Brown (Android Authority)
This is explicitly genocidal rhetoric.
If you don't think that transphobia is as serious of a threat as any other form of discrimination facing any other group, outside of a literal war zone, you're just transphobic.
I don't know what else to say.
Zero tolerance for anybody who tells you that transphobia isn't that serious of a problem.
