Shout out to everyone smart enough to figure out that "They're eating the dogs and cats!" is just a lie that racists say, but not smart enough to figure out that "They're closing drug stores because of shoplifting!" is exactly the same thing.🤡 edition.cnn.com/2024/09/13/bus…
It's so silly that when I type out what really happened vs the lie, you won't believe that most white people in the Bay Area, and in the US, believed the racist lie. Many still do.
What really happened: * SF had too many drug stores. Many chains were losing money. * So there was consolidation. But the buying firms now owned too many stores in SF. They literally wrote in earnings reports that they planned to close many stores. * Then the pandemic happened. Foot traffic dropped.
What people believed: * There were a few videos of homeless folk running out of drug stores with trash bags full of toiletries and candy, like toothbrushes and snickers bars. Of course, all of the videos of homeless folk that made national news, featured Black shoplifters. * The drug stores closed their stores as part of their merger plan, as they promised they would. * Racists said the Black shoplifters made the drug stores unprofitable! Not the billions in lost pharmacy revenue.🤡
@justafrog George Gerbner studied the relationship between violent TV and fear of crime. He coined the term "mean world syndrome" to describe the warped world view created by repeated exposure to TV violence.
Wenn dieser Gesetzesentwurf verabschiedet wird, dann genügt es nicht mehr, schöne Stellungnahmen zu schreiben und alle drei Jahre eine Demo gegen die Vorratsdatenspeicherung zu organisieren. Künftig müssten wir dazu anleiten, Überwachungsmaßnahmen zu sabotieren und abzuschalten. golem.de/news/sicherheitspaket…

A french band™ is playing a concert in the sold-out British Royal Albert Hall and you can watch the recording of it on a German/French public TV station. Amongst all this border-closing nonsense let's not forget what incredible achievements in the greater historical context of Europe's past we've grown to take for granted. arte.tv/de/videos/121899-000-A…
Mozilla, reading the room extremely well, seemingly just recently flipped the switch to enable-by-default sponsored weather results from AccuWeather in every new Firefox tab you open. Clicking "Learn more" takes you here, with zero information on if your location is sent to AccuWeather every time you open a new tab: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/c…
Probably only noticed because I normally have a blank new tab page but this showed up after updating Firefox!

@oqq because more devices support 32bit. Per APK size of this app already exceeds the per app size limit, the 64bit APK is even bigger. While (with the exception of one Google device) all 64bit devices support 32bit APKs, no 32bit device can support 64bit APKs.
@oqq resources at IoD are limited. We don't have that amount of funding nor hardware they have at their disposal, but we do our best with what we have. What do you miss with the 32bit version you think the 64bit one would give you?
@oqq ah, that. Not sure about how much of it is fact and how much just nudging and pushing. I guess it's mostly the latter. Like the Play Protect warnings for "potentially harmful" apps when google does not know the signature because the dev has no play store account...
Did you experience any of those freezes etc yourself?
Introducing Casilda - A Wayland compositor widget!
A simple Wayland compositor widget for Gtk 4 which can be used to embed other processes windows in your Gtk 4 application. It was originally created for Cambalache's workspace using wlroots, a modular library to create Wayland compositors. Following Wayland tradition, this library is named after my hometown in Santa Fe, Argentina
It's not a "silver bullet" for why we should be using rust in the Linux kernel, but it is a "big giant sledgehammer" to help squash and prevent from happening MANY common types of kernel vulnerabilities and bugs (remember, "all input is evil!" and this change forces you to always be aware of that, which is something that C in the kernel does not.)
I had always felt that Rust was the future for what we need to do in Linux, but now I'm sure, because if we can do stuff like this, with no overhead involved (it's all checked at build time), then we would be foolish not to give it a real try.
And yes, I've asked for this for years from the C developers, and maybe we can also do it there, but it's not obvious how and no one has come up with a way to do so. Maybe now they will have some more incentive :)
Taky jsem na to koukal a přemýšlel, jak je to myšleno. Zda ta nejvyšší hodnota je 100% a ostatní se od toho odvozují nebo prostě jen někdo zadal špatně legendu. 🤷🏼♂️
При очередном обновлении ArchLinux предлагает заменить мне mlocate на plocate. Утверждается, что plocate работает гораздо быстрее. Когда-то я разбирался с устройством базы mlocate, да и смотрел код. Тогда мне не захотелось ничего менять. Работает достаточно быстро, меня устраивает. Но кому-то же оказалось не лень сделать ещё лучше, ещё быстрее. Молодцы. #Linux #mlocate #Arch #plocate
