Content warning: Saturday's NYT crossword, Sunday morning QBing

The clue: "right, right, right" (4)
The answer in the grid: ISEE
The answer I plonked in without any crosses: LEFT
So, yeah it slowed me down a lot to have four wrong letters, early
But wasn't my answer *better*?

Wenn selbst die zweite Frau im Staat nicht sicher ist... đŸ˜¶BundestagsprĂ€sidentin Julia Klöckner ist offenbar Opfer einer gezielten Phishing-Attacke auf ihren Signal-Messenger geworden.

Auf dem Bild sieht man das Signal-Icon auf einem Display. Im Bild steht: "Klöckner zeigt, wie man es nicht macht:
BundestagsprÀsidentin 
fÀllt Signal-Phishing-
Attacke zum Opfer" darunter steht: "Verfassungsschutz und BSI verschÀrfen ihre Warnung vor Phishing-Angriffen auf Signal-Nutzer, nachdem 
die zweite Frau im Staat zur Zielscheibe wurde."

An alarm in my neighbourhood started around 3:30 am this morning. Not that loud so probably a distance away yet still enough to wake me up to go and investigate. It stopped for a bit then started up again. I was trying not to get frustrated or angry but it still meant I didn't get back to sleep until after 6.
I stayed in bed until nearly 8 am and then rushed about so I'd be finished with work in time for a zoom meeting at 5:30 pm. Made it! Success!
Finally realised at 5:

I've seen a bunch of "the CA age verification law is the best way to do a bad thing and so we shouldn't oppose compliance" takes, which others are rightly pointing out is a bad stance because it's blindingly obvious that compliance now sets the stage for compliance later and the clearly set up later is mandatory verification of age data. Even if you think that, for example, California's current "progressive" government won't go there, we're all currently seeing just how easy it is for a new government to pick up the oppressive tools the "good" government was using "restraint" with and put them to worse ends.
On the other hand, I'll freely admit that distros *do* need a way to shield themselves from liability right now. The clear (to me; IANAL) correct solution is to say on your website "don't download this OS if you're in a jurisdiction where it's not legal for us to provide it."). Assuming this does put you in the clear liability-wise, it has several positive effects:
- Stops zero people from downloading it.
- Makes it clear that your project will not collaborate with fascists/oppressive regime enjoyers.
- Means that when the next law makes verifying user ages mandatory (and/or explicitly requires using Palantir-adjacent services to do so) you've already got a strategy in place and there's no need for a "debate" in your "community" about compliance.
- Gets users more practice with "the law is malicious/needlessly bureaucratic/oppressive; let's ignore it" which to be honest people in general clearly desperately need at this point.
- Is the most effective political move if you want to resist the way things are going. Forcing the other side to explain why "California bans Linux" is good rhetorical strategy. Make *them* try to explain "well it's actually not so harmful since we let users set it themselves" and answer your follow-up "but what if next year the requirements change; I just refuse to go along with this slippery slope stuff and I'm not bothered if that means you want to *ban* me."

“How many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
The answer – in SAPN’s case study – is an electrician, a plumber and software techs, who now all need to work together to ensure the home management system can control the proverbial lights.”

Using a physical, rather than a more futuristic virtual home management system also sent the project on an unexpected journey – it’s taking a lot longer to fit homes out with a physical device, up to four hours on average, than doing this remotely. 
It’s a situation that compares to the old joke, how many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Weird feeling as while looking to answer to the question "how do I get the coordinates of the minimal value of a numpy.ndarray ?", found that I already asked that question ten years ago: laurentperrinet.github.io/scib

Directed an #acting #coaching client to do a take in a way that lead to no discoveries. A blind alley or sorts, it seemed. Then another layer of rage, fear, frustration, anger, love and hate made a quick appearance. We're gonna be cooking with gas with this material.
