I guess Saya Gray put out some demo mixtape just on her tour, and I can't even find it anywhere, not on YouTube, nothing. Man, I'd really like to hear that. Guess this is how artists build mystique. But it's annoying as hell hahaha. If anyone runs across a copy of that, let me know?
FINAL EDIT - it's definitely called 'Saya Demo Mixtape' and this is the tracklist & cover art, if you find it:
A large part of Russian (and Chinese, for that matter) propaganda consists of presenting themselves as allies in anti-colonial struggles around the world, and some people are all too happy to parrot that point. They should really read this.
Russia (and China, for that matter) is a colonial empire, violently repressing its own subjugated peoples, as clearly expressed here by members of those peoples.

Because the painting ☝️is good and the picture came out well, my wife and I printed a 20cmx30cm copy of the picture, put it flush in a borderless glass frame (reminiscent of the door the painting was on), and gave it to the child.

#infosec annoyance of the day - I use a tool for work that requires me to put in a rolling one-time code for 2fa, and doesn't show the code as I'm typing it.
That would be ok, except if I switch apps to copy the code so I can paste it in, it usually forces me to re-enter my username and password, then even though I'm in the 30 second validity window, it refuses the code.
So I have to wait till the 30 seconds roll over, copy the code, switch to the tool, re-enter my username/password, hope it doesn't take so long to negotiate with the back end that the code in my clipboard expires, then finally paste the code.
Conveniently I only have to do it multiple times a day, every work day.
Israeli tech founder Maor Shlomo,
whose vibe coding startup Base44 sold for over $80 million when it was acquired by Wix,
said on the podcast “20VC” that “it’s relatively easy to create a vibe coding tool.”
“Every feature that we put out, we know that’s going to take either a few weeks or a few months for competitor to copy,” he complained.
It's trivially easy for competitors to copy your brilliant innovation.

Trump-related nonfiction book sales have sharply declined, with weak sales over the past year compared to his first term, when 20 titles became NYT bestsellers (Paul Farhi/The Atlantic)
https://www.
I'm trying to play through the implications of some software I've been thinking about maybe designing.
It's legal to make a digital copy of the media that you own (videos, audio) physical copies of. It's legal to give a physical copy of your media to someone else or loan it out, which transfers your viewing license while they have It. Then it should also be legal to let someone else use a digital copy of your media given that you don't also use it at the same time. So as long as you keep track of your license, you should be able to let exactly one person stream some media you own.
If someone else then "steals" that content and views it without a license then that has to be legally on them, otherwise streaming platforms would be liable whenever someone cracks some DRM.
So then, it should be completely legal to set up a local community media library streaming service where you can share content you own licenses to as long as you track your license count and don't let more people stream at any given time than there are licenses available.
Is there something obvious I'm missing (aside from the MPAA and RIAA don't care about the law and will just sue anyone they can just to make an example)?

no idea if you notice the mistake, but the people who always complain about vibecoder (meaning those who can’t handle #ai) would probably say this is what happens when you code with ai. i’d say if it had been done with ai, that clueless excuse of a developer wouldn’t have forgotten to link the second copy button 🙄 🤦

It's actually quite unhelpful that the debian-user mailing list accepts posts even from non-subscribers because then it's impossible to tell if the post needs a copy sent back to them directly.
The culture of that mailing list is generally not to reply-all. I'm oretty sure this does mean that some people think they have been ignored.
2. “The US has too much power, nobody can possibly stand up to them” − I don’t know, dude, maybe ask to copy Canada’s notes? I am not asking for magic here; I’m just asking people to try.
3. “But standing up to a fascist US is too expensive for us” − Believe me, whatever it costs us all now (inside •and• outside the US), it will cost even more later.

[M]any consumers might not realize the privacy risks just by glancing at the flyer sent to them, according to Florian Schaub, associate professor at the University of Michigan School of Information.

Morsewalker has an Attempts column in the results table, but how many attempts it reasonably takes to copy a call sign depends in part on how big the pileup is. And copying a call sign on the first try is more satisfying if I do it out of a pileup. So I added a new feature to my fork that prints out how many stations were in the pileup after how many attempts it took.

Looking at the ARMv8-A ARM and I see implementer ID 0x44 is DEC.
I'm... very confident DEC has never built an ARMv8 CPU core.
Is this just copy-pasted from earlier docs because DEC had an ARM architecture license in years past? Or is this license still valid and held by DEC's successors (I think DEC -> Compaq -> HP -> HPE, does HPE make custom ARM cores?)
