When GOP Attorneys General Embraced Jan. 6, Corporate Funders Fled.
Now They’re Back.
==

Even as the Republican Attorneys General Association has leaned further into promoting Trumpism and sowing doubt about U.S. elections, major sponsors including #Amazon, #Walmart and #HomeDepot have resumed their contributions to the group.

For a while now, we've informally used a service called Huntr as a private place to report and manage vulnerabilities.

Now we're incorporating it into our security policy. We recommend that any users who wish to report security vulnerabilities in AzuraCast submit them here: huntr.dev/repos/azuracast/azur…

This service lets us privately review reports, mitigate them in our Rolling Release and Stable versions, then publish the details of any vulnerabilities, including any relevant CVEs.

I just laughed my butt off while watching this video. The guy is German, but the musicians among you will undoubtedly recognize the most common phrases. I love how creative he is. Except for the very first version, which is tailored towards a band that was only really popular in Germany in the mid 80s, the other styles are quite internationally recognizable. „Flowers“ by Miley Cyrus in five different styles: youtube.com/watch?v=qyE2OmANFm…

@desertstar84 I am totally amazed that you know them. I so far thought they were only known in Europe and maybe Russia back then. Well, I hope you enjoyed this tribute by this German Youtuber, then. And if you like the sound, if your streaming service has it, look for an artist named Mark Ashley, and an album called Heartbreak Boulevard. Some of the musicians that had worked with Modern Talking back in the 80s later made this album with this singer, whose voice is very similar to that of Thomas Anders.

So my FiL told me about this course at Cambridge University where you have to be a member of one of the world’s wealthiest families to apply. He read about it in Private Eye. I assumed it was a joke until I looked it up…

‘A safe space to hear radical voices and debate challenging and sensitive issues, such as the future of wealth in a context of growing inequality and new paradigms of power.’

El cuento de nunca acabar con los idiomas.

Many apps are inaccessible for blind/VI people. Developers usually have to implement #Accessibility features from scratch for each platform they develop on, which can scare them away. The good folks over @accesskit are trying to change that with their #Foss project, #AccessKit. Their goal is to create a cross-platform solution for accessibility that only has to be implemented once. I'm posting this to spread the word. Let's help them reach their goals! accesskit.dev/ #Blind #A11Y

Capitalism has not really raised people from extreme poverty. Most probably it has just pushed more and more people into extreme poverty over hundreds of years, in addition to making life miserable in general for so many.

The only time things have gotten better for regular people within capitalism is when workers organize and when people participate in anti-capitalist and anti-colonialist action.

New study on the topic: sciencedirect.com/science/arti…

After a month of changes to libipuz, I finally got the new editing interface working. These changes make it possible to differentiate between broken puzzles and correct-but-unhelpful puzzles, with an API to fix the latter. As a result, I extended the #GNOME #Crosswords Editor to edit barred puzzles.

Note: barred puzzles are basically impossible to set, and I'm in awe of anyone who is able to make a grid work. Maybe someone can make a cool puzzle with this.

Demo video below:

Happy Earth Day!
Since I just finished teaching river channels in my Geomorphology course, I wanted to share an Earth Day photo of an impressive braided stream coming off a glacier (location: Kyrgyzstan; photo credit: Scintillating Beauty).
A braided river, or braided channel, consists of a network of river channels separated by small, often temporary, islands.

Gaslit as a patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome - a connective tissue disorder with many symptoms - Cortney Gensemer set out to publish about the disorder in top journals...and then send the results to the doctors who told her she wasn't really sick.

STAT's been doing some great work lately.

U Proton mail mi vadí, že nelze používat emailové klienty třetích stran. Tutanota, je i bezpečnější, než Ptotinmail, ale také musí člověk používat jejich klienta, což mi vadí. Mailbox, Startmail a podobné služby, mají zabezpečení stejné jak Protonmail, ale lze využívat aplikaci jaká ti vyhovuj. Tak můžes používat na Androidu Fairemail. Navíc u Mailboxu, lze zapnout šifrování veškeré pošty pomocí Gnupg klíče.

Chromebooks have always been built to planned obsolescence.

"Schools bought millions of Chromebooks in 2020 — and three years later, they’re starting to break" - The Verge

theverge.com/2023/4/21/2369184…


School Chromebooks are creating huge amounts of e-waste

The US Public Interest Research Group Education Fund has found that cheap Chromebooks, due to their short lifespans and lack of repairability, are both less sustainable and more expensive for schools than pricier devices might be.

Got a new thing in the post to play with today, It's a SSD from 2014 with a whopping 8GB of storage.

If that does not sound like a lot, it's because it isnt, but this thing has a hidden trick up it's sleeve... It's actually a RAM disk.

Inside is 8GB of DDR3, and it exposes it over 12G SAS as a block storage device. But you may ask "That's kinda useless, since when you reboot you will lose all the data on the drive? Might as well load the chassis up with more RAM and have a page cache"

Well. This thing also has 8GB of NAND... it just only uses it on power on and power off to restore/checkpoint itself, even during sudden power loss!
