@aral@mastodon.ar.alOpposing genocide isn’t antisemitic.
Saying that opposing genocide is antisemitic is antisemitic.
You know what’s inhumane? Genocide. You know who’s committing genocide? Israel.
You have zero moral standing to assess me. Those who commit and are complicit in genocide never do.
So yes, most definitely, goodbye.

New York prosecutors preparing for the expected March 25 start of Donald Trump’s first criminal trial threw a wrench into that schedule Thursday by suggesting a 30-day delay, responding to complaints from the former president’s lawyers that evidence had been unfairly withheld until the 11th hour.

@cdarwin@c.imGov. Ron DeSantis signed a terrible bill Friday stripping citizen oversight boards of their power to investigate police misconduct.
The bill, HB 601, instead allows local chiefs of police agencies to create their own “civilian oversight” boards
composed of three to seven members, all appointed by the chief or sheriff.
But these boards can only review policies and procedures, not oversee use-of-force complaints or internal affairs investigations

@axbom@axbom.meLooking at complaints can be one way of surfacing pain points in a workflow. Often used by designers as input for customer journey maps.
But you also need to consider who is behind the complaint, who feels comfortable complaining and who is not given an opportunity to complain.
If you don't know what I mean by "not given an opportunity to complain", I'd urge you to read more about privilege, oppression and social norms.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsTime for your daily dose of #RustLang complaints. Yep, the ecosystem is doing great.
#UV depends on tokio-tar library. Tokio-tar is broken on #PowerPC, doesn't have a bug tracker (!) and seems to be quite dead, with a bunch of PRs ignored since 2022 (last activity mid-2023). Nevertheless, I've filed a PR to fix PowerPC, with little hope that it'll be merged, released and that we could get UV working on PowerPC.
On top of that, it seems that tokio-tar was forked in early 2021 from async-tar. It doesn't seem to have synced the few commits from 2021, and async-tar is dead since late 2021. But at least it has a bug tracker to keep track of how dead it is.
Rewriting stuff in Rust is great. Maintaining it afterwards for the sake of reverse dependencies isn't.
