Just a reminder that the difference in popular vote in the 2024 election was only 1.5%, with a piss poor voter turnout of 64%. I think that if the democrats had a real primary and a candidate that more period could get behind it would have easily gone the other way.

When Our Transport Systems Struggle with Climate Breakdown

"What do Siemens inter-city trains, Montreal's REM light-metro, and urban bike lanes have in common? I believe that the fact that all of these modes have experienced challenges in keeping people moving this winter come back to the same cause: a failure to acknowledge the fact that winter, though in some years it may be milder, has by no means gone away."

Back in the bad-old-days (2009-11?) when MS Internet Explorer was mostly gone, but a few companies with laggard user bases insisted on supporting it, staff at my company, Egressive, *hated* working on any compatibility as it required nasty regressive hacks, breaking open web standards. It made them feel dirty to do it. We instituted double-time 'hazard pay' for staff subjected to the indignity, and we charged 2x for IE-related compatibility work. Customers paid it, too.
It's been a long, annoying process but: Google Workspace: Deleted.

Renee Good is a crisis for the Trump regime: not because they care about her life, but because ICE murdering her makes ICE look bad. They’ve been telling all these stories about all the imaginary violence ICE officers face. In their minds, it’s the people on the streets who were supposed to lose their cool first. Now they’re falling over themselves to make that happen.
We just want ICE gone, but their bosses want them dead. And no, I’m sure they do not understand this.

Rewatching the two Tolkien film trilogies in chronological order, starting with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. I like The Rings of Power, but I agree the series is ruefully inferior, especially considering the money they forgot to spend on cloning Tolkien himself and commissioning him to come up with a decent story. I still think they should have gone full on visualising the mythological legendarium. Which The Hobbit kind of does with the battle of the Stone Giants, and it's awesome.…

Sonnet 005 - V
Those hours, that with gentle work did frame
The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell,
Will play the tyrants to the very same
And that unfair which fairly doth excel;
For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter, and confounds him there;
Sap checked with frost, and lusty leaves quite gone,
Beauty o'er-snowed and bareness every where:
Then were not summer's distillation left,
A liquid prisoner pen…
Hey, you. Check on your stored water. Make sure your canned beans haven't gone off. Charge the batteries in your radio. Take other such reasonable precautions to look after yourself and your people. There's a war on, and shit could go sour for all of us at a moment's notice.
When all of this is “over”, it's not going to be good enough to say “We shouldn't have let that happen. It'll be better now.” That's just lying to yourselves and everyone else for 4 years.
The only acceptable outcome from a world power who has gone this far off the rails is “we've made it so that it *can’t* happen again.”

Ghost in the friendly and interactive shell (fish):
I removed a `set -x VARNAME ...` line from my fish config.
Spawning a new shell still had that variable.
I ran `set -e VARNAME`. For the current shell, it's gone.
Spawning a new shell again, I got it back. What..?
Okay, so I closed _all the fish instances_.

One of our clients is a rich person who manages properties for wealthy people. I was in her house to clone a bad hard drive 5 years ago. She had a photo of herself with Trump on the wall.

Today I called my member of Congress to thank him for voting to extend the ACA premium subsidies. As far as know this is the first and only time he has gone against his party. All I added was "Please keep going."
It feels futile to ask for more.
Amateur diplomat time: I think what Australia is trying to do Schrödinger's support for Trump's (Netanyahu's) war on Iran.
We've almost always gone to war if USA asks. But Trump's *hated* here, so we're helping UAE instead. We've said no boots on the ground, so we're helping with planes/surveillance equipment.
Makes sense, we've recently signed an FTA & Emirates is a key transport link from here to Europe. Trump can't call Albo a 'loser' like Spain & the Australian media can't roast him for 'not doing anything'.

A new #Nextcloud adventure: having installed the new Social refactoring and passed the webfinger and ssl tests, was still unable to load some profiles and no interactions went out or came in.
Then I noticed PullRequest-5 - not knowing at all what I was doing - so I installed gh, authorized it, did the pull, composer, run sequence, and while the existing open tab for Social continued as before, 'Social' was now gone from the NC admin and menu!
"app": "core",
"method": "GET",
"url": "/settings/apps/list",
"message": "Could not read app info file for app \"social\""
Google/DDG are mute on what or where an app info file might be, and NC docs only say you can register an app and maybe perhaps the tarball will contain one? Perhaps the PR munged it? 🤷
So a new adventure begins …
Throughout most of my life I've lost something maybe once. In the last two weeks, I've lost two things already. And to the point of not even being able to tell when they "disappeared" — I was convinced I have them on me until I've noticed they're gone. I feel like I was losing my mind.
It doesn't help that I was raised to feel guilty about my mistakes. It doesn't help that people around me take this lightly (it's nothing "important"), so I also feel guilty about feeling guilty. And completely estranged.
