It's still not constitutional to ban people who are trans.
That's a bill of attainder, prohibited by the First Amendment.

#ForAllMankind S05E10: is there nobody in the #SONY production team old enough to remember a correct #DOS prompt? 🤔
A bit embarrassing considering the overall situation of this scene. 🤷

Screenshot of an amber colored screen that starts with A:/ and some cyrillic letters. In reality, the path would have been A:\ with a back-slash instead of a forward-slash. However, even that is questionable since A: was the first floppy drive letter and C: would have been the hard disk which is most likely the boot media for a scifi spaceship. So it should have been C:\

Technically the Senate Dems *DID* concede the original demands to claw back ICE/CBP/HSI funds and to ban some of the Fash tactics used in MPLS and Chicago as conditions for any DHS funding.
But those were always sacrificial asks. They existed to be conceded. @…

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

With the US preparing options for a potential ground operation in Iran,
Israel is unlikely to contribute manpower to the effort
— a prospect that has drawn criticism among the American public but, experts say,
reflects strategic calculations and operational realities.
There has been no indication in recent reporting that Israel would take part in such an operation,
and by all accounts such an option has never been seriously considered,
even as Americans …

I couldn't care less about a bunch of rich people in Brooklyn, I just read the article for the delicious drama. However, about halfway through the article, I started to see so many #FreeSoftware parallels.
1) Volunteers spend countless unpaid hours creating/maintaining something to better their community.
2) For-profit business packages it up as part of their offering.

"I've lived in the neighborhood since November 2020, we bought a house," Ria Harracksingh, an Elite Minds parent and the school's director of operations, told Hell Gate. "So, when the garden started to really just be stonewalling us, it became not about the kids. For me, it became about, 'Hey, I pay a ton of property taxes. We pay a ton of income tax there. These dollars are going to this garden that won't even let me access it as an individual!' So it became pretty personal on that front, too."
"I think from their perspective, making noise and contacting everybody they can about this is going to speed things up," Jonathan Stead, the garden's community partnership coordinator, said. "If anything, it slowed things down because our limited time has gone to responding to them, responding to GreenThumb about accusations that they're making about us, and discussing the Post story. This is all time that we could have devoted to try and get this done." "At the beginning, we didn't even see…
"It wasn't an option for us to continue the status quo, which was, I guess, [Elite Minds teachers] had a key and would come and go as they pleased," he said. "For organizations, it's a separate process, and it's not something community gardens have to do, but we chose to do it. It's been an enormous amount of work to try to get the process put together." Stead told Hell Gate that Urban Meadow and GreenThumb have been trading a draft of the new policy back and forth, but that due to time constra…
"Misconceptions about what community gardens even are, fundamentally, are pretty rampant," Roopa Kalyanaraman Marcello, another Urban Meadow coordinator, mused. "People just don't know that community gardens are not parks. They are very different from a New York City park. When I'm in Urban Meadow, the playground is right next door, and I see the lovely Parks Department folks in there cleaning up, taking the trash out. And I'm just like, 'I wish you would come in here and do that!' But no one h…

Ordered an extra VSC8512, the same Ethernet PHY I'm using on my switch project, as microscope food.
I've always been curious what the die looks like especially considering it has a ton of SERDES of several different designs, at least one and possibly two embedded CPUs, a DRAM controller, and is generally a nerfed switch ASIC.
I don't expect to be able to dump the 8051 firmware ROM optically but if I can find at least a rough idea of where it is from the optical images…
