How's all that self-interest working out for all the tech companies? Dictators are gonna dictate. It's not like he didn't tell you who he was. Project 2025 was the real goal. They don't want anyone but white people to have the privilege of getting jobs. Everything else is nothing but excess.

Quite an obscure function. What are you doing with it?
It now appears the Trump administration is going to require government scientists to allow political apparatchiks to review and vet scientific papers before publication to ensure ideological purity. This is gross abuse of the scientific process.

Animated icons for GTK
I have been working for a while on GTK support for stateful, animated, symbolic icons. This post is meant to provide an introduction to the format, and encourage experimentation with it. The code will land very soon in GTK 4.21.GNOME Discourse

[Yesterday was] Talk Like a Pirate Day.
People think that means yelling “ahoy” or “avast.” But that's Treasure Island movie talk, not real pirate talk.
Pirate talk wasn’t (just) about silly words. It was about refusing to speak the language of kings and merchants. (A very serious thing, so speaking sillily is a fine way to refuse, on its own.)
What made a pirate ship a *pirate* ship was that it rejected the laws of the empires around it, laws that were communicated with words. So words make a big part of that rejection *possible*: pirates developed their own specific "codes" for how to organize their efforts, in a world dominated by one code.
On a pirate ship, the captain wasn’t a monarch. He was elected, and he could be deposed the moment he stopped serving the crew. The quartermaster wasn’t a servant; he was the counter-power that kept the captain in check. Articles weren’t law imposed from above; they were agreements drafted and sworn collectively. If a crewmember was injured, lots of ships' code guaranteed their share, because survival depended on everyone being taken care of.
That’s what gave pirate words their force. “Mate” wasn’t a gimmick. It named an equal, someone with a voice and a stake. “Share” wasn’t wages; it was recognition that the plunder belonged to all, not hoarded by bosses or thrones. Even the insults, the threats, the bravado! they came from a world where empire’s rules had no legitimacy.
Pirates carried the violence of their time: patriarchy, racism, brutality. They weren’t outside history. But they also proved that crews of outcasts could generate their own order, one that terrified rulers precisely because it was anarchic, egalitarian, and contagious.
So if you want to talk like a pirate today, don’t (just) pretend with accents. Speak the way they did: from a code made by equals, against the legitimacy of law, in defiance of the world that tries to govern you. That’s pirate talk.

Since I've been having a lot of fun adapting classical music to chiptune style, I thought maybe I should follow all the way through and make an entire asset pack for RPG-type games...? Since I'm not composing everything from scratch, it could be very affordable relative to the amount of music. This is "Torrent" by Chopin, which I think sounds very Boss Music...
