Just got these messages from @seengoals@mastodon.social, one of the members of Gaza Verified, basically accusing me of running a fundraiser for Gaza and keeping the proceeds (I have no fundraiser on any fundraising site anywhere) and extorting me to share his fundraiser or he’ll apparently go public with it.
So here’s what’s going to happening instead: Nabil has been removed Gaza Verified (

Living in a capitalist society makes me simultaneously hate and understand some things.
Back when the Sunday shopping ban was set in Poland by one of the right-wing parties (with some exceptions for petty capitalists, of course), I was outraged. Why are they forcing their religious customs on me?! But nowadays, I do realize that in a capitalist society, where employment laws are full of loopholes and employers explicitly punish employees for taking a day off, an obligatory no-business day is the only way.
On top of that, after living next to a supermarket for a few years… this is literally the only way to have a quiet day, without cars driving, and car doors slamming all the time. And of course night time deliveries, because you obviously can't lose day's business over such things.
And what I hate even more are these multi-day holidays and long weekends, where suddenly all my routine falls apart, and I can't really enjoy holidays while the train timetable is randomly punctuated. But then, I do realize that obligatory multi-day holidays are the only way for many people to simultaneously have a day off and be able to meet their families and friends.
I'm not really compatible with the world I'm living in.

DOJ Abandons Request for Don Lemon Arrest Warrant Over Church Raid — But Can Still Try to Bring Charges
The Department of Justice has reportedly withdrawn its request for an arrest warrant for ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon, but he may not be out of the woods yet.

STM32MP2 update: I have logging on the A35 cores via the UART on the M33!
It took a bit of work to get the IPC channels up and running (using the IPCC to handshake a buffer in SRAM2) but now you can just log by invoking g_log("foo") like you could anywhere else in my platform and it a) goes to the right place and b) is tagged with the core ID.

Once upon a time when work was using its own email servers, I had to periodically archive my email accounts. I would create a new gmail account and just throw it up on there so the emails were still searchable in my mail client if the account was included…
Now I have a bunch of gmail accounts that have tens of thousands of emails form twenty years ago.
This is dumb... especially with storage the way it is these days.
So now I'm logging into those accounts, downloading the emails and any other Google data, and deleting the accounts from Google.
Fun Times, this long-time-digital-life life.

The Securitization of Minerals in the EU: Why Europe is Not Immune to the Resource Curse
Joám Evans shows how the EU’s securitization of mineral supply legitimizes environmental rollback.

Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible:
it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables
—at half the cost of fossil fuels.
The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere
—if governments have the courage to change the rules.
For Ramon Méndez Galain,
the energy transition isn’t just about climate
—it’s about economics.
Uruguay’s shift to renewables, he argues,
demonstrated that cl…

Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World
Uruguay built a power grid that runs 99% on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. Here’s how its bold energy overhaul became a global model.

I don't envy "vibe coders". I mean, let's for a minute assume that their vision is not a pipe dream, but an accurate prediction of the future.
For a start, what's their plan for life? Driving a tool whose primary selling point is that anyone can use it. And I'm not even talking about all the inside competition. I'm talking of people realizing that they can cut the middleperson and do the coding themselves.
The way I see it, vibe coders are a bit like typists (with no offense to typists). Their profession is a product of a novelty. And just like typists largely disappeared when typewriters and then computers became commonplace, so are vibe coders bound to disappear when vibe coding becomes commonplace.
And are true programmers going to become obsolete? Well, let me ask you: did the proliferation of cars and corresponding self-service skills render car mechanics obsolete? On the contrary. The way I see it, the proliferation of slopcode will only make competent programmers ever the more necessary.
What vibe coders are saying is basically this: "This new automated self-service kit makes car maintenance so easy. Car mechanics will become obsolete now. Everyone's just going to hire *me* to run this kit instead."

Was running around the house doing other chores when my daughter comes up and tells me the air cleaner in her room has the filter-change reminder light on.
So I go swap out the filter and it won't come back up (makes a ding but is unresponsive to captouch input)
If you ever have the chance to buy a Levoit LV-PUR131, buy something else. They *all* seem to fail in this exact same way. I've repaired quite a few over the years and thought I had done this one already, but I gu…
