Finally, someone explores "what the hell is going on with the International Boxing Association" in this whole case

Olympic female boxers are being attacked. Let's just slow down and look at the facts

Unfortunately it's already too late to contain the mania that is exploding after Algerian boxer Imane Khelif’s gender was questioned.

Fluffy Coke sounds fun. Just don’t drink it. "...The marshmallow, of course, doesn’t mix with the soda for that dairy-fizzy interplay that the people oohing about it online seem to imply. Instead, when the sugary fluff comes in contact with the icy soda, it seizes up into a hardened goo, like tile mastic drying on a wall...." washingtonpost.com/food/2024/0…

Fluffy Coke sounds fun. Just don’t drink it.

Coca-Cola and marshmallow fluff combine for a sugary, gloopy disaster in a glass. Here’s what to make instead.

Elon Musk grossly exaggerates about brain chip for the blind

Elon Musk is overreacting to the brain chip for the blind Elon Musk claims that a new brain chip from his company Neuralink will surpass human vision. US scientists review this and conclude that the claim is "at best unrealistic".

I see Vance has chosen party (racism) over family.

(He has bi-racial kids and is clearly signaling they are allowed to identify with only one ethnicity and how they speak will be a measure of how well they match that ethnicity, which you can be sure he will assert is ‘white’).

Ref: washingtonpost.com/politics/20…

Asked if he questions Harris’s racial identity, Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), said the former president’s comments Wednesday were aimed at portraying the vice president as “a chameleon” on policy issues. “What I question is why she presents a different posture, depending on which audience that she’s in front of,” he said. Vance also accused Harris of using a Southern accent and referred to her teenage years when she lived in Canada. “Kamala Harris grew up in Canada,” he said. “They don’t talk like that in Vancouver or Quebec or wherever she came from.”

Trump attacks Harris’s Black identity. Harris says Americans ‘deserve better.’

Donald Trump also berated a Black reporter who questioned him about his record of offensive comments about Black people.

A new #law goes into effect today in #Louisiana that will make it a misdemeanor for anyone, including #journalists, to be within 25 feet of a police officer if the officer orders them back.

Louisiana is the 4th state to enact one of these so-called #police "buffer laws," which allow officers to order people to keep their distance.

Louisiana Makes It Illegal to Disobey a Cop’s Order to Back Away

Louisiana is the fourth state to enact a so-called police buffer law, which allows officers to order people to keep their distance. Journalists say the law will make it harder to document when police use excessive force.

What Does It Mean To Be A Signal Competitor?

A lot of recent (and upcoming) blog posts I've written, and Fediverse discussions I've participated in, have been about the security of communication products. My criticism of these products is simply that, from a cryptography and security perspective, they're not a real competitor to Signal. For all its other faults, Signal sets the bar for secure private messaging. It's a solid security tool, even if its user experience…

#CD Rohlinge werden heute nur noch selten benötigt. Vielleicht liegt aber im Büroschrank noch eine angebrochene Packung?

Nicht wegwerfen!

Denn #Blindenhörzeitschriften werden nach wie vor gern von blinden Menschen mit speziellen Playern auf CD genutzt.

Die @ComputertruheMuenchen hat uns solche zukommen lassen. Vielen Dank!

Für einen guten Zweck und dazu ökologischer als ungenutzt zu entsorgen ;-)

Mame 0.268 came out yesterday, and it’s a really cool release for blind fans of vintage tech because it includes a fix by @datajake1999 to its emulation of the Dectalk PC Card. What this means is it’s now possible to emulate a self-contained talking IBM PC complete with an original synthesizer without having to resort to a windows only virtual serial port driver and separate apps like you have to with Dosbox. If you want to play with this there are already 2 packages that help with setup just like the community made for the Apple II a while back - one from Jake, which just includes a talking freeDOS installation and no other programs found here datajake.braillescreen.net/uti…
As well as one compiled by Daniel Nash that also includes a bunch of games, including some text only classics like Eamon Deluxe as well as the first audio games from PCS Games or Jim Kitchen found here

nashcentral.duckdns.org/projec…
The cool thing is even though both of these come with a Windows version of Mame this all works just as well on Mac or Linux, you just have to get the latest version of mame from homebrew or your package manager, then unzip either of these and take the startup command from the .bat file and paste it into the terminal.

@matt it's running sh.exe from within the folder i extracted it to, so it's searching for curl from within that folder and not on the actual path's, as I ran sh.exe from the run dialog and ran curl from their and it's their, also curl runs from cmd as well. So I suspect it's trying to find curl.exe in c:\portable\pc (that's the folder this thing's existing in)

@munchkinbear @matt OK, I looked at it as well, it’s a really weird way of doing things. Before the archive already included Mame, and Jake’s package still does. But what he’s doing here is grabbing the windows mame from GitHub, then just extracting it (mame’s windows download is just a 7-zip extractor, using a windows port of SH for some reason). If you download Mame manually, extract it to the same folder then take the last part of the batch file it should run.

Jeannette Ng: Eye-opening little ancdote from a friend who ran a table top game for his all male gaming group: he genderflipped every character in the pre-written module resulting in an all female setting. His players grew increasingly paranoia and were convinced of a conspiracy.

The players (convinced there's some sort of murder cult going on) started scouring the setting for men. The pre-written module's village contained only one female character: the wife of the blacksmith. Unnamed. Which of course was all the more suspicious to them.

There was absolutely nothing my friend could do to convince his players that there wasn't a great conspiracy or at least a basement full of dead dudes."

LinguisticParadox: (Hashtag) This could be a new 'Bechdel' test: If you genderswap all the characters does it feel like something must have happened to all the men?
