The American right wing has forgiven Donald Trump for his affairs, impeachments, mass deportations and the platforming of JD Vance.
But having stuck with him through all that unpleasantness,
it seems that we may have discovered the one thing that is capable of splitting some Maga conservatives from Trump:
starting a war in the Middle East.

The other one I truly love is GitUp (https://gitup.co). Its visualization handles certain specific tasks better than anything else — tasks where I’m more concerned about the shape of the commit graph than the contents of individual commits.
Because of the way it does live updates of repo state and offers a whole-commit-graph-level undo, I’ll sometimes keep it open in the background while doing some fiddly thing in another tool (Fork, CLI, whatever) just so I can see what the ^*@# is happening.
Alas, its lack of support for commit signing means I use it less and less.

Anybody in the fediverse representing EdTechNZ? They're just emailed me about their 'rebranding' to show that they're more 'open'. They don't explain what they mean by 'open', however, I've never seen anything I would identify as even vaguely open about them. From what I can see, they're a lobby group promoting proprietary education tech.

To be clear: Joe Kent never should have been hired for anything. He’s a Nazi.
But he WAS the head of the National Counter-Terrorism Center. he had a role. He had people in operational roles beneath him at the NCTC, mostly non-partisan professionals. If it is true that he was not trusted and was not involved in war preparations, Tulsi Gabbard needs to go too, as she’s not doing her job of overseeing the agencies that report directly to her.

Content warning: gun violence, nazi shit
On the first day of the #PTSD intensive, we talked about the shooting. I had felt like I was done with that, that it didn't have anything left for me. But there was something still that filled me with rage... that is still confusing and enraging.
It wasn't actually being shot. I wasn't even the possibility of death. I had been prepared to die. I always knew that was possible. It was something else.
I remember Marc Hokoana's face as he pepper sprayed pacifists, smiling and taunting, joyfully hurting people who he knew were refusing to respond. I remember their flags, the kek flag, literally a Nazi battle flag replaced in 4chan colors with the clover 4chan logo instead of the swastika. How many people have been tortured, have died? How much suffering, that these people not only welcomed but celebrated, joyfully participated in.
The cruelty was the point. It was the plan, the plan he posted to Facebook, the same plan as they have always had, of torturing people until someone responds and then murdering them. Inflicting trauma, responding with overwhelming force, showing how "big and strong" they are because they can always escalate.
Try to stop someone from peppers praying people, they shoot you. Shoot back, like Michael Reinoehl, and they send a death squad for you. But we keep standing up, so they keep escalating to the slightest imagined infraction. Now they just murder you for being in a car, for filming at a protest, for existing.
The bar for what justifies murder or torture will continue to move lower until there is no one left, or until they can no longer escalate.
The feeling of helplessness is still not the biggest thing though. It's the joy with which they inflict this on us. That's it. That's the thing.

America’s top health official, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,
staked his political career on the false belief that vaccines cause autism,
and has used his power to force federal agencies to support his bonkers position:
The CDC’s website now says,
“Studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism."
Thanks to Kennedy and others, measles outbreaks are happening all over the country after the disease was declared officially eliminated in th…

Let's normalize calling anything output with an #LLM #slop.
It doesn't matter that you've only used an LLM to fix punctuation. It's slop.
It doesn't matter that you've spent an hour reviewing the slop to make sure it's good. It's still slop.
It doesn't matter that it's better than anything you wrote your entire life. It's slop.
If you didn't write it yourself, it's just a glorified LLM slop.

@… I have the exact opposite experience.
I never feel like my expensive display is “good”, but anything less is always “absolutely useless garbage”.

MacBook Pro from the curséd era of the TouchBar.
This one has a 6-core Intel i9 and the fans run basically nonstop even when I’m not doing anything.
It’s such a drastic contrast to the M1’s they shipped just three years later

While helping my mum with something recently, I've noticed that her #GMail started featuring a banner that she ran out of space, and mails will stop arriving in less than a month. As expected, she never even noticed it. On the other hand, I had two thoughts about it.
Firstly, of course, #Google are shameless assholes (Microsoft's even worse, as I boosted at some point before). Mom's new phone came with Google Photos preinstalled in place of vendor's gallery, and of course it automatically started making backups of her photos and movies in the "cloud", or as I'd like to call it, to pedophiles. The photos finally filled up the free space, and Google started doing everything to convince her to buy more space. I honestly doubt she'd be able to figure out that she needed to turn these backups off and wipe them; if anything, I suspect she'd just start hopelessly removing photos from the phone, which might not have helped at all.
Secondly, it's that if such a thing happened to me, I probably wouldn't even know, because I'm reading my mail via a mail client. So I wouldn't ever have seen their banner. Well, unless they also send a mail about it, and my mom missed it among all the spam.
