the programme de la soirée is to make a few mix tapes, listen to music that i love, and maybe dance with that ladder over there if i manage to drink enough of this cheap (i mean cheap!) italian wine to confuse a ladder for my wife

All this big deal about white collar crime -- what's WRONG with white collar
crime? Who enjoys his job today? You? Me? Anybody? The only satisfying
part of any job is coffee break, lunch hour and quitting time. Years ago
there was at least the hope of improvement -- eventual promotion -- more
important jobs to come. Once you can be sold the myth that you may make
president of the company you'll hardly ever steal stamps. But nobody
believes he'…

Also while at the beach, figured I’d get pizza and ordered a cheese (for my wife) and a sausage (for myself) at our favorite place (Bianchi’s)
This is the sausage pizza
I want to be clear, it was delicious…but…what happened here? 😂

Funding cuts have the potential to unnecessarily delay diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia syndromes in the group
– diseases whose treatments rely on early diagnosis.
Nearly 7 million people in the US live with Alzheimer’s.
Most are white, but Black Americans have nearly double the risk of developing Alzheimer’s dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.
For decades, this was framed as an “individual risk factor.”
Researchers and theorists have…

‘Clear retribution’: dismay as key Alzheimer’s study cancelled amid Trump attacks on science
Participants in Pittsburgh may never learn the results of their cognitive tests – and funding cuts that target ‘DEI’ have the potential to delay vital diagnoses

“If you were an emoji, what emoji would you be?” - Hm, I think I’d pick 👩‍💻 because that represents how I spend my days the best.
Representation and diversity is an important topic when it comes to emojis. Studies show that the skin tone modifiers 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️ are primarily used for self representation. And many groups had to fight for their emojis: hijabi women, people with disabilities, redheads, people with curly hair. It is still difficult to show “all” of society in emojis, because human diversity is much more variable than we can show in little pictures: Where I can just say “family” in English and may mean many different constellations, in an emoji I’d have to decide on the number, gender and skin color of all the family members, and that doesn’t even begin to cover all the facets. A real language is much more flexible that way. #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

T minus 18 mins to lunch break - today I'll go down to the room downstairs where I can lay down for an hour just to clear my head. Cognitive drained

At this year's Open Source #Firmware #Conference, I will be presenting on "Boot Chains and Build Systems"! 🥳🥳
(spoiler: it's complicated 🫠)

Boot Chains and Build Systems Open Source Firmware Conference 2026
It is clear that booting a system based on an application processor requires multiple binaries and possibly multiple hardware components - at the very least, one to initialize the DRAM and one to run in it. This implies that the various components of the chain, however many, need to be aware of the respective next and previous one somehow: Any component has to know the source, the protocol, and the destination for loading the next one, and the build system needs to create an overall image for t…

Gente sacando fotos a una fuente a la que el ayuntamiento ha tintado el agua para que tenga color de vino, cuadrillas de chavales de 15 años con el kalimotxo a las 11 de la mañana... Ah, las fiestas populares.

Finally had a quiet enough moment, for long enough, to deeply savor this article by @… about colour spaces.
Fascinating in the way the very best information is; one of the exceedingly rare gems that make the doomscrolling addiction worthwhile.
