So are we all gearing up to reconcile the "Epstein files" from the DOJ with already public information about Trump's schedule and activities?

As in, if they did a naive scrub of the files it won't match up with already public details.

You wouldn't ordinarily expect the DOJ to hide evidence from Congress or defy court orders but the Bondi DOJ is not your dad's DOJ.

Usually, I don't like adverts, but I applaud this one (Found on Instagram, the ad is located in Brixton, London)

alright cool but why when I have 33G+43G doing almost nothing. What was so adamant about swapping?

Little Johnny overheard his friends talking about how adults have secrets they’re desperate to keep hidden, and how easy it was to manipulate them. Intrigued, Johnny decided to try it out himself.

When he got home, he walked up to his mom with a sly grin and said, “Mom, I know everything.”

His mom’s face went pale. She glanced around nervously, then leaned in, shushed him, and handed him $10. “Just don’t tell your father, okay?” she whispered.

Johnny’s eyes widened in amazement. This works! he thought.

An hour later, his dad came home from work. Johnny walked up to him confidently and said, “Dad, I know everything.”

His dad’s expression froze, and he quickly pulled out his wallet. Handing Johnny $100, he said in a low voice, “Let’s keep this between us, alright? Don’t tell your mom.”

Johnny could hardly contain his excitement. This is incredible!

A little while later, there was a knock at the door. Johnny opened it to see the mailman standing there. With a mischievous grin, Johnny said, “I know everything.”

The mailman’s face turned ghostly white. His jaw dropped, and his eyes filled with tears. After a long pause, he said, “Well… if you know everything, Johnny, come give your real dad a hug.”

I upgraded an app from using #Gradle 8.13 to version 9.2.1. Not because I wanted to, I dread upgrading Gradle, but because I needed it to work with Java 25.

Predictably, my build definition (`build.gradle.kts`) broke, with some deprecated APIs being removed. This isn't some coincidence, Gradle's APIs get deprecated all the time, nothing's safe.

I don't think I have ever upgraded Gradle without noticing source compatibility breakage. I can't think of any other API I've used that's worse.

Who would like Rust in CPython 3.15?

@emmatyping and Kirill Podoprigora "propose introducing the Rust programming language to CPython. Rust will initially only be allowed for writing optional extension modules, but eventually will become a required dependency of CPython and allowed to be used throughout the CPython code base."

#chatmail might be a new way to deliver email but it's not a new way to deliver mail :)

"Poste restante" or "general delivery" or "waiting mail" is a mode where one can send a message to a name or, in some countries, pseudonym, @ a post office address and then someone else can come and get it, showing their name or pseudonym (passphrase). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poste_re…

Curious, which of you know/have used the poste restante mode of delivering postal mail at one point in your life?

  • used "poste restante" delivery multiple times (6%, 14 votes)
  • Used poste restante once (3%, 8 votes)
  • Heard of it but didn't use (27%, 65 votes)

J'ai lu que le ministère de l'éducation est « intéressé » à faire passer les écoles à Linux.
si cela est fait, l'éducation des non-et malvoyants en France sera complétement foutue. L'accessibilité de Linux est inacceptable pour en faire une plateforme d'éducation des enfants.
vous voulez passer à Linux ? Soit. Je suis pas d'accord, mais soit. Dans ce cas-ci, il faut *d'abord* investir en accessibilité de cette plateforme, et puis « s'intéresser » à quoi que ce soit.
J'espère bien qu'il y aura des appels à la justice. L'Acte Européen d'Accessibilité est en vigueur, et si l'état même s'en fout, comment peut-on exiger l'accessibilité aux autres ?

Well, now I've bit the bullet and used Substack's editor for something, and it wasn't really as bad of an experience as I was making it out to be. I'll still write my initial draft outside of the editor, but I can paste it in to their control, and, where I need to make a link, I can select the relevant text, press ctrl-k, type in the URL, and I'm done. I'd still prefer to be able to write everything in markdown and directly import it somehow, but this will do I think.

Hello from the Activator!


Over the next couple of days, this Braille display will move into my home. For almost thirty years, I've come back to Help Tech displays time and again, despite trying out other display vendors' products in the interim as well. But because of their quality and endurance, I keep returning to these displays, and am proud to add the Activator to the list of Braille displays I own, or owned.helptech.eu/braille-displays-a…

in reply to Jonathan Mosen

@JonathanMosen It definitely is. I was privileged to lay my hands on a proto type when it was still in development. I'm a friend of the Help Tech company, and supported them during the 2022 SightCity virtual conference. And I saw it at an exhibition or two recently, and now have my own Activator here. It must be the most beautiful display they've built so far. Although I was a huge fan of the BookWorm back in the late 90s, too. I know that 8 Braille cells are too few for many, but this little Braille reading device saved me and my sanity on hundreds of commutes to my computer science school back in the day. Remember, this was before even the Nokia smartphone era.
