Kiddo keeps kicking off the blankets.

Me: Please stop kicking off the blankets and go to sleep.
Kid: What?
Me: Please stop kicking off the blankets, and go to sleep.
Kid: What?
Me: Please go to sleep.
Kid: WHAT??
Me *enunciating*: Please. Go. To sleep.
Kid: Mom I can't sleep if you are yelling!
Me: ....
Kid: Also I kicked off the blankets.

Something I don't think Trump or Republicans understand is we don't give a fuck about the Democrats either. We hate Schumer, et al., too. We don't care if they make fun of them. They mean nothing to us.

Democrats insisted they didn't want to lead or be the face of any resistance so they're not.

We don't care about Comey or Bolton either because they're Trump's own guys. Fuck them.

The CEO of framework has commented in a forum thread, making clear that they are aware that DHH and hyprland are fascist and that they don't care and support them anyways

community.frame.work/t/framewo…

edit: new statement from the CEO in a reply below: cherrykitten.gay/@sammy/status…


The CEO of Framework has now made a cowardly bullshit-statement on the fascist website Twitter while the Framework account on here is still being quiet about the topic

Quote below

To avoid disappointing anyone later who wants to ascribe beliefs to me, I am pro-immigrant and pro-LGBTQ. I’m also pro open source and have committed myself to guiding people out of closed ecosystems into open ones. This is not posted under duress, but under a realization that at a certain scale of visibility, it becomes insufficient to hold beliefs without stating them, because others will attempt to state them for you.

I guess he realizes that if he was to say that shit on here, people would tell him to act according to his supposed believes because otherwise they aren't worth shit

I just got emails notifying me that multiple of my very tame posts speaking out against framework supporting fascists have been manually deleted by moderators on the framework forum

To simplify alt text: they all start with the following:

Hello,
This is an automated message from Framework Community to let you know that your post was removed.
Your post was flagged for moderator attention: the community feels something about the post requires manual intervention by a staff member.
This post was flagged by the community and a staff member opted to remove it.


The alt text of each image contains the quoted original post of mine

Needless to say, Framework has shown in the last week that they are explicitly pro-fascist and I'm done with them. No matter how good my experiences with their laptops have been, i will no longer spend any money on them. If i ever upgrade or repair my framework laptop, I'll have to find parts on the used market, and my next laptop (whenever the time for that comes) will be from somewhere else

I've also just started this #Fanfic recently. It's a bit Cthulhu-ish, steeped in the Eldritch. But if you like that sort of thing ...
John Blackwood, an American special forces operative is sent to Hogwarts under the guise of a Muggle Studies professor. But his true mission lies deeper: prepare Harry Potter for a war beyond prophecy—one not just against Voldemort, but against the cosmic horrors the Dark Lord has awakened in his obsession with immortality.

I remember the bitter, bitter envy of having to watch Voyager on satellite TV at a friend's house because we couldn't afford it at the time.
It was great to spend time with him, but also frustrating when we missed a week.

So if anyone in the mastoverse is there now as I was then, [Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is coming to free-to-air TV ](radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/star-…)

Burnable finished this #Fanfic at the start of the year. I've read Back to the Beginning a handful of times, but this one didn't grip me nearly as well unfortunately.

With a mind unbound by judgment, and finding comfort in quiet solitude, Harry Potter begins his journey into the wizarding world. Yet, his past of abuse and neglect has shaped both his mind and magic into something new and powerful. He sees the world through a whole new kind of filter, which is just ready and waiting to evolve.

people writing down the password to their work computer and taping it to the monitor is a problem. sure. a hardware passkey is a solution to this. but for most people in most circumstances, writing down passwords to their personal devices in a way that they (a) are recoverable in case nana loses her ipad or whatever and (b) are recoverable by family in case nana fucking dies, is a FEATURE. NOT A BUG.

Not a lot to look forward to lately. I don't care about Haloween much, but for the fact that a bunch of short wave pirate radio stations show up and do silly things on the night of the 31st, usually on the high side of 6 mHz, and almost all modulated using single sideband. That's fun for a few hours, anyway.

Auch bei #ubuntu24 befindet sich der Anmeldebildschirm nach dem Aufwachen aus dem #Bereitschaftsmodus manchmal in einem Zustand, indem das Eingabefeld für das Passwort nur mit der Maus aktivierbar ist. Jedenfalls ist es nicht via [Tab] zu erreichen. Es ist das einzige Element auf dem Bildschirm, außer dem Ein/Aus in der Taskleiste. Weslhalb hat das keinen automatischen Fokus?

Nichts für #blinde Nutzer!

Das solche Basics oft über Jahre keine Beachtung finden frustriert.

The very idea that anyone deserves millions of dollars per year to do ANYTHING is bonkers. There is no job in the whole world that is worth that much money. Even if you were the sole person who out of your own brilliance invented something that saved a billion lives do you deserve tens or hundreds of millions of dollars per year. But Especially not simply being a professional gambler.

--- Nabídka již neplatí. ---
Zkouším. Kdyby měl někdo zájem - prodám PS5 Slim (verze bez mechaniky) s jedním ovladačem.
Chybí jediná věc - nožičky pro horizontální položení.
Ve velmi dobrém stavu, je ještě 10 měsíců v záruce.
Důvod prodeje: zjistil jsem, že mě hrát na PS moc nebaví, takže se na ní akorát práší. Odhaduju, že na ní bylo nahráno takových 80 hodin maximálně. Někomu může posloužit lépe.
Na konzoli ani ovladači nejsou žádné kosmetické vady - možná akorát tak prach, ale to se utře.
Cena: 5000 Kč + případná doprava. Ideální osobní předání v Ostravě a okolí, ale poslat by se to asi nějak taky dalo.

As I get ready go join the masses protesting the “Dictator on day one”, I see Republicans calling it a “hate America” rally. You know what guys, you’re not entirely wrong. We do hate this America. We hate the Republican America where people are being dragged through broken car windows and beaten on the street. We hate the America where the President orchestrates economic flash crashes so he can insider trade. We hate the America where DOJ is directed to prosecute political rivals.

GenAI and what it does to the brain.

Truly excellent "long read" article about genAI and what it does to those who come to rely on it. Well researched, with insightful quotes from thoughtful people.

Good science/tech journalism used to be like that, but on AI topics this has become rare. So much easier for the salaried writer of a mainstream paper just to follow the hype.

The author, Sophie McBain, is listed as a "freelance writer" for Guardian, Times and New Statesman. I am glad she's kept her free mind.
