John Losi prevented aid, a dozen cops did nothing. When those two cops (Robert McCabe and Aaron Torgalski) were charged, the police union protested, claimed assailant cops were “following orders,” and said that 57 cops quitting the squad (but not the force) did so in solidarity with the assailants.

An eventful day at the home office so far... just spent the last 20 minutes trying to clean up the mess of pushing bag of besan (chick pea) flour off the top shelf in the pantry, which burst on impact, maximising dispersion on the coffee making stuff & the rest of the pantry. Much blue air was created. But before that had a magical few minutes when a pīwakawaka flew into the house, happily flew around a bit, & happily flew back out again.

You can count on Trump to humiliate his "allies", no "special relationship" here anymore.

The question of colleges and universities building their own LMSes in house is something I’ve thought a lot about over the years while seething at both Moodle and Canvas.
In this and the following post, @… hits on several reasons why that doesn’t happen.

Waarom hebben die detectives bij Tatort toch altijd een flinke brandblusser bij de hand als ze onverwacht een deur moeten forceren?? 😇

Is it wrong that I have mixed feelings about this?
`cuz they’re only a little mixed and I suspect I’m too positive.
I hope the local staff is not being asked to work at the embassy during the war. That would be abusive. @…

Dode bij ongeluk op A1: busje botst achterop file richting Duitse grens
Bij een ongeluk op de A1 bij De Lutte is vanmiddag de bestuurder van een busje om het leven gekomen. Het voertuig botste volgens de eerste berichten achterop een vrachtwagen die in de file stond richting de Duitse grens.

I have basically mildly positive feelings about Gemini Nano being available in Chrome. I don't use Chrome, but lots of stuff should be done on-device, not off. That's a win.
If "software shouldn't have features i don't like" is the argument you're actually making, that's not really a good argument. Even when the feature is an LLM model.
"Chrome is getting big and bloated and we can do better” is absolutely a good argument you can make.
And then the real kicker: Google pushing the web platform around through dominance is just the real ick here. It's the same sort of thing monopoly power enables. Companies that own verticals in the economy or a product market can dictate rather than negotiate. This is, in general, bad. Google does this, not because the ideas its employees put forward are good, but because they work out to be in Google's interests. And those interests can run counter to the rest of the world.
That's what we have to push back on.
