I think somebody made a typo... from this post: "Windows 11 25H2 will begin rolling out to everyone in October or around that period, based on information we have, and it will reset the support lifecycle clock. Enterprises will get 36 months of support, and Pro/Home (consumer editions) will be supported for 24 hours." Now I'm just picturing this, my computer only getting support for 24 hours and then it's done. windowslatest.com/2025/06/29/mโ€ฆ

Microsoft confirms Windows 11 25H2, might make Windows more stable

Microsoft has confirmed that the next release of Windows is called Windows 11 25H2, and itโ€™s going to be a minor update deployed via an enablement package.

US sees spate of arrests of civilians impersonating Ice officers

Experts say trend of agents detaining people while masking and wearing plainclothes increases risk

An important but inconvenient fact to remember about NYPD "work stoppages" and "quiet quitting."

When NYPD intentionally makes fewer arrests and does less police work in protest, violent crime goes *down*
๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™ƒ

Read that again. Violent crime goes *down* when cops quit.

And we've known why since 1970

Once you understand a few things about US policing, this outcome becomes incredibly obvious and unavoidable.

First, understand that "Law and Order, SVU," is not how policing works, and not what police do.

What most police do, most of the time, is arrest and fine innocent Black people.

This makes it unsafe for Black people to call the cops in any circumstances. A Black person that has recently had a violent and racist encounter with the cops, will not call the cops to save you if they see you being assaulted.

So the more "policing" happens, the greater this depressive effect.

The irony:

As you ramp up "policing," it becomes impossible to catch and arrest any real, violent criminals... because you betrayed and violated all of the civilians in the communities that you were supposed to partner with.๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

You created the pre-condition for ineffective and futile police work.

As an NYC resident, you pay $12B a year for a police force that is not good at what you want them to be good at: solving and preventing murder, theft, and sexual assault.

For example, the most stolen items in NYC are smartphones and bikes. NYPD doesn't even recognize the most recommended bike lock๐Ÿคก

Attached: 1 image @NSalwen@mstdn.social @Jackiemauro@fosstodon.org NYPD budget is $12 billion a year. Billion. The most stolen 2 items in NYC, are 1) cell phone and 2) bike. NYPD is useless at preventing the theft, or recovering stolen bikes.

Let me bring it home for y'all using a topical example: ICE.

ICE has always been bad, but recently it's ramped up. It doesn't matter if an *individual* ICE agent is a good person or a bad person. The *system* of ICE now requires them to hit a deportation quota, so they are all targeting civilians.

There are dangerous undocumented immigrants. Very dangerous. Consider the 100 most dangerous undocumented immigrants in a population of 12 million undocumented people. People like "Big Dragon."

But you cannot find them.

Suppose the ICE Dangerous Fugitive Apprehension Team is looking for Big Dragon

tiktok.com/@adrianembrey/videoโ€ฆ

Suppose the hypothetical Big Dragon threatened to shoot an undocumented taco cart vendor on Wilshire Blvd in LA, in front of over 100 people, 80 of whom were undocumented.

Then the ICE team shows up, looking for people to "come down to DHS and make a statement."

No one is talking. No one is going๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

This is beyond "Stop snitching," and a cultural revulsion to cooperating with police.

This is beyond "Snitches get stitches," and fear of reprisal from the hypothetical Big Dragon or his associates.

This is a rational understanding that giving a statement holds a real risk of detention to CECOT.

Would the other taco vendors have been more likely to call Immigra on the hypothetical Big Dragon:

* In the 1990s, before the creation of ICE?

* In the 2000s, after ICE was created, but before this round of mass deportations?

* Now, in the full fascism and mass deportation era?

If ICE does an NYPD style "work stoppage" and doesn't deport a single person for a period of 6 months...

Do you think that would increase or decrease the likelihood that an undocumented person would be willing to help ICE find and arrest the hypothetical Big Dragon?

Consider a kind, undocumented taco stand vendor in LA. In 20 years he has never even thought of carrying a gun before. He had always assumed that if he ran into trouble, he would just call 911.

Now he realises that he can't call 911. ICE.

And he just saw hypothetical Big Dragon threaten a man...

@modulux okay, I gotta be honest, this is kinda cool. I feel like an ambassador of the world of vision. Now that you're first hearing of this, let me put in the effort to really describe how it looks like, as it's not entirely a rainbow:

While rainbows have all colors gradually merging from one to the other, oil spills can have hard cuts of colors and don't have those colors in perfect lines next to each other. They look like messy rainbows with a darkened tone. All the colors beautifully next to each other, weirdly ordered, but not mixed. Some dots of this here, a larger chunk flowing into the other. A minor spill of dark red flowing through a sea of white/green, red/purple, orange/yellow, and then light blue/dark blue (on this specific image, as an example).

All the colors look more robust, metallic, but there's still a lot of beauty in that. Less shiny, more matte. More chaos, and a dark tint. Like a rainbow put in a moonshine filter.

I really hope the concept of an oil spill and how they look is now a lot more clear to you!

This specific image was hard to write an alt text for, as the pun needed the explanation of an oil spill looking like a rainbow. Writing it down, saying โ€œthe background looks like an oil spillโ€ and then I thought โ€œhow the hell would blind people know oil spills have all the colors???โ€

Oil doesn't smell nice. I guess oil coloring is a thing?? But how often do people state this โ€œobviousโ€ fact. Maybe some books mention the shimmering of oil spills on the street left by cars, but I assume this is rarely described in its beauty.

I also have no idea why oil spills have all of those colors. That's what it says online:

Oil spills look like rainbows due to a phenomenon called thin-film interference. When a thin layer of oil spreads on top of water, light reflects off both the top and bottom surfaces of the oil layer. These reflected light waves interact with each other, and because the oil layer is extremely thin (often just a few micrometers thick), some wavelengths of light reinforce each other (constructive interference) while others cancel each other out (destructive interference). This selective interference results in the different colors we see, creating the rainbow effect.


No clue what that means. I am glad I could help ya. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

People of the Fediverse, stop everything. This is some true shit happening here: Two-Factor Authentication, a thread:

In French, the word for "factor" is "facteur". But it has another meaning: mailman. Yes, the one who delivers letters in your physical mailbox. For this reason, there is a funny meme in French where 2FA is in fact your mailman coming in and confirming that it's you.

Photo of two mailmen. It is written "two factors authentication". A speech bubble is attached to each mailman saying, respectively "yep, it's indeed him" and "yes, it is"

Pamatuju si, jak sem sedaval na baru v plne hospode a akustickym efektem svitidel poslouchal lidi u stolu, jako by stali vedle me a rvali mi do ucha. Tohle muzete zazit porad. Berte to i jako varovani o cem se u stolu bavite.

Samotne chicago si proslo kontroverzni vlnou zdrazovani-zmensovanim i podstatne mene kontroverzni vlnou zdrazovani-zdrazovanim a plno je tam v podstate porad. Cena jidla lidi zas tak neovlivnuje.
