About the last boost (snyder.substack.com/p/the-logi…), I want to focus on this part at the end:

> As for the rest of us: Make sure you are talking to people and doing something. The logic of “move fast and break things,” like the logic of all coups, is to gain quick dramatic successes that deter and demoralize and create the impression of inevitability. Nothing is inevitable. Do not be alone and do not be dismayed. Find someone who is doing something you admire and join them.

FYI The initial tariff list... personally, we have a handful of things we'll need to find substitutions for, i.e. protein shakes, wet wipes, etc., but that's not a bad thing, IMNSHO.

ALSO: Going to stop patronizing certain pissant-supporting companies, i.e. Walmart, etc.

I'm continuing my databending series with a look at MP3s. We'll talk about how to glitch and corrupt them into oblivion while still leaving them playable!

@pitermach I was actually surprised I hadn't already done so when I linked the repository in this post the other day! The plugin doesn't have everything completed, but I can definitely make a compiled version. I unfortunately only have setups on Mac and Linux to compile it — I'll probably have to figure out a GitHub action or something to get a Windows version. What OS are you looking for?

I mentioned a lo-fi plugin I made with cell phone codecs, and I just published an initial release! There are some features that are still in the works, but there are plugin files available for macOS, and the codecs and downsampling work:

If you work in government and are asked to remove content from websites (as a result of executive orders), please use the HTTP status code 451 instead of 404.

451 is the correct status code to use for these cases, and you'll be doing the rest of the country a service by using it.

Addendum: you should also include a Link header with the link relation "blocked-by" that "Identifies the entity that blocks access to a resource following receipt of a legal demand."

It looks like someone uploaded a 98 GB snapshot of CDC datasets as of January 28, 2025 to @internetarchive

Edit: this post originally indicated that it looked like the CDC uploaded the data, but we don't really know who did it.

DOGE Staff Had Questions About the ‘Resign’ Email. Their New HR Chief Dodged Them - WIRED apple.news/A_mgU9aiuSwemLPTEW3…

I finally got around to asking for permission to release the one-night hack project I did on New Year's Eve. The project was personally motivated, but company-related. Specifically, it's a rewrite of the API client library for the System Access screen reader for Windows.

Source: github.com/PneumaSolutions/sa-…

Binary release: github.com/PneumaSolutions/sa-…

Note: The screen reader isn't open-source, only this tiny client library.

On this thread, I'll selectively quote from the README for more background.

This new open-source implementation finally lays bare at least one... interesting decision that I made as a much younger developer about 20 years ago. Specifically, for my IPC implementation, I decided back then to use an obscure serialization format that, as far as I know, has long since been abandoned by its original developer, called banana: docs.twisted.org/en/twisted-16… So I wrote a banana encoder (but not decoder) in C++ way back then, and now I've rewritten that encoder in Rust.

HTe #Movuary continues. A challenge to produce something with the #AbletonMove every day in february. Todays submission is my attempt to create a typical rap beat. Deep bass, some claps and bells are a thing in this little loop. Enjoy.

Going thru the stands at fosdem ran into immich.app as a photographier I was interested so asked a few questions :
- what's your biz model?
- none yet, but probably hosted services
- how do you compare to #flickr or #pixelfed?
- pixelwhat? We are providing a replacement photo - no direct answer for flickr
- do you support activitypub?
- actiwhat?
- do you run on any OS?
- of course we do, we provide docker images

@hub

>> "gphoto" is a tool to download pictures from digital cameras

Yes, apparently you have no idea… Your statement is incomplete at best, as "dowloading photos" is only is a small subset of what it can do and is hardly the most important part (USB Mass Storage or Memory card reader for the few cameras that do not support UMS mode, are enough to just "download photos from cameras")

But go on, keep trolling and pretending I'm "missing the point" if that makes you feel smart… 🤷‍♂️

eBay users are getting back at graphics card scalping bots by listing pictures of the RTX 5090 for $2000, occasionally framed
"...In the description sits a disclaimer that these sellers are actually emailing pictures of RTX cards to unsophisticated bots or even more unsophisticated scalpers, people looking to take advantage of the low supply, high demand situation to resell graphics cards for a pretty penny."

Che l'#AIAct europeo, orientato peraltro alla prevenzione del danno e non alla tutela dei diritti, proclami principi solenni per ridurli a dosi omeopatiche in un'alluvione di eccezioni non è una sorpresa. Bastava leggerlo.

It’s been a rough few weeks for Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, who will be stepping down next month. But tonight he gave a powerful speech that should make all Canadians proud. It wasn’t carried by American television. But my American friends, I hope you will watch it and share it. And understand that for us, this betrayal is about more than economics. youtu.be/xiaACQpFUfE #Canada #tariffs #cdnpoli #t

In 1933 Hitler's forces invaded the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (the leading centre of research on trans and gay people at that time) and burned all of the books and records (after taking care to note down the details of all the patients to round up later). Philosophically this is what the US CDC is now doing by purging everything to do with trans people.

Federal agencies requiring you to have an account on Musk's vile platform to see official documents?

It's a reminder that fascism requires the merger of government and corporate interests.

V posledni praci pred Unreleased jsem bojoval proti pouzivani null vs 0 k ulozeni vyznamu u typu number. Marne. Je to soucast TS a musime s tim zit, ac si tak plnime codebase naslapnymi minami.

V UR zacinam pouzivat na podobne problemy type guardy. Je to opomijena featura, ktera naprosto opravnene vyvolava emoce typoveho silenstvi a pomalosti psani kodu.

Samotneho by me to samozrejme nenapadlo. V tymu pritvrzujeme lint pravidla. Tak mi nic jineho nezbyva.
