Just watched a video of a memorial in London England for a racist American white nationalist where a group of Māori performed 'haka' (The Haka, the one everyone who is not from Aotearoa knows) for a group of UK MAGA shitheads.
I think I am losing my mind which is surprising as I don't remember finding it again. What the actual fuck is going on?
Next Tuesday, "Networking for System Administrators" launches on Kickstarter. mwl.io/ks
If you have any interest, I'd appreciate a follow. KS uses follower count and first-day backers to determine how much they'll promote it for me. #sysadmin

Comcast executives sent an email to employees endorsing free speech and warning that if you use that speech to criticize Charlie Kirk, you’ll be fired. The word “Orwellian” is overused but I can’t think of a better description. 404media.co 404media.co/comcast-nbcunivers…
An email sent to NBCUniversal employees, including journalists at NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Bravo and more, eulogizes Charlie Kirk as an "advocate for open debate" and reminds staff that even milquetoast statements about Kirk's death can result in their…

The California Legislature on Thursday passed a pair of bills to prohibit on-duty law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from masking their faces, and requires them to identify themselves.

but apparently not only do Apple still sell them (at a doable price and with three different connector options) but people are still this very week publishing culture articles about them 🥳
Spending time with my in their 70s parents and they're very successfully managing not to be racist or transphobic so I still don't buy the "They're a product of their age" argument
mine too, they were Catholic farmers but to be honesty they literally never said a word about any other race or culture, ever, period. So I don't know what was in their heads or their hearts because they never discussed the topic at all. Or politics.
Sometimes when I favorite and boost a post at the same time, the sounds make me feel like I'm playing an old videogame, lol. Even when I just post something, the actual post sound kinda spoils the effect, but my "sent" timeline updating sounds like Mario.
What I often find such an interesting take in #accessibility discussions is this concept of "We will make it work for the majority first, and then add accessibility features". This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how accessibility, and therefore " features" of accessibility work. For one, making something #accessible for #screenReaders often requires no visual modifications at all, and requires making calls early in the development cycle to not have to rewrite your entire UI using widgets that even support #assistive #technology. Once that call has been made, making elements accessible is often a matter of, what a concept, using the widgets the way they were meant to be used.

I saw an article headlined "We can again be the country we were after 9/11: We flew the flag, helped our neighbors, opened our hearts, and supported our government."
Are you kidding? We had a government that immediately took away rights and turned the Eye of Sauron inward. It came up with the ominous word "homeland" and stood up a disastrous Department of Homeland Security which is today stomping people on the head, kidnapping people by the thousands, trying to secretly deport planeloads of children in the night, renditioning people to foreign prisons and war zones. I don't want to be that fucking country. I want to be the country we were BEFORE 9-11, before a reactionary extremist trend took hold among conservatives and turned them all into engines of hate and fear. Before the Federalist Society successfully took over the SCOTUS, which was the cornerstone of literally all the massive corruption and criminality happening in government today. Good grief. Some people really remember the post 9-11 history differently.

nick fuentes is complaining personified, my understanding is that he is critical of israel and its supporters but he's a very unserious person and I doubt he's responsible for any murders. he just wants to say based shit on the internet so that maybe one day a big based man will love him
@lain apparently there's a rift between Nick Fuentes and the other right wingers that support Israel / THE JEWS^TM which included Charlie Kirk, so that might be key.
This could very well just be right wing infighting and they still blame it on the left
This was very much an experiment, but everyone I talked to said it was surprisingly smooth, and they'll continue to daily drive GNOME OS.
Thanks to everyone who participated, it was a lot of fun! And thanks even more to the GNOME OS team for getting us this far, especially @Valentin, Abderrahim, @alatiera, @AdrianVovk, and @jjardon!

You drive the truck to haul things and you drive the sedan when you need to go downtown.
I've met Kirk, I've been to the conferences. It's been a few years now but recent reports have been that many more devs are running Thinkpads and Framework laptops.
Question for anyone who is good at bash, or at least better than I am:
I need to get the time it takes between two separate events in seconds. These events are called from an external application by specific conditions that trigger them.
Can I use the time command, or something like it, in a way that it starts a timer, forks to the background, then a second event stops the timer and prints the appropriately formatted output to stdout for further processing?
