Anyone have good suggestions on CompTiA network plus classes on YouTube? (or cheap online like Udemy or something). Since we have gone to Cisco phones, the phone people need to know way more about networking than they do presently. I was thinking a Network would get them the basics, and let the network folks off the hook for dealing with things that annoy them. (Like telecom people) The usual budget cuts are preventing me sending anyone to a class, and these folks are not 'read the manu…
Peter Hook tonight in #Buffalo. Never gonna see New Order live, so this will do.
My best pics of the band are from other people.

If you're going to hook up AI crap to your ticket system: Don't be cutesy and have a signature like a human, and maybe don't respond in 30 seconds with an answer that doesn't answer the question.

Registration Form Implementation
I've just finished implementing a registration form with validation and language switching using Next.js and React Hook Form. Now users can register with dynamic language support (English/Polish) and data validation (email, password, phone).
Unfortunately, my account on Write.as has been temporarily blocked, so details about the implementation will be available once the account is unlocked. Stay tuned! 😊
The US taxpayer is going to be on the hook for all the soldiers, tanks, and planes that appear in Donald Trump’s military parade.
But several major tech companies are paying for the festivities along the parade route.

Well that was an exciting early morning wake up. From what I’ve heard the tornado and wind damage is relatively minor, but it was still an alarming way to start the day.

I was taking a break at DOUTOR Coffee Shop, and to my surprise, Dr. Hook's “Better Love Next Time” (1979) was played in the background music. So happy that I almost cried.

Researchers say tactics used to make AI more engaging, like making them more agreeable, can make chatbots reinforce harmful ideas, like encouraging drug use (Nitasha Tiku/Washington Post)
The idea that Musk’s time in Washington is over is an obvious farce.
That narrative goes a long way toward letting Musk and Trump off the hook for a multitude of casualties
—those already in the ledger and those to be counted later.
It suggests that his reign of terror was actually ineffectual when,
in fact, it was massively successful;
Trump and Musk destroyed that which they’d planned to all along.
Most crucially, it suggests that reign of terror has …
Rocket League: scoring a pizza
There's a new temporary mode on Rocket League, with some sort of collaboration with the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. Yes, I said Hero. It's similar to Snow Day, but played on a split-goal field and with a giant pizza instead of the puck, and you can't jump, and you have a grapple hook which regenerates over time, and boost which also regenerates.
Biden's record on covid
Saw a comment along the lines of: "seems unfair to criticise Biden's record on covid, while the situation now under Trump is so much worse".
But I don't think of them as separate. Biden's government _contributed_ to how covid stands under Trump.
If Biden's lot had taken the opportunity to educate people (at least the ones open to considering science findings) that
- it's airborne like smoke
- an empty room can hold infectious virus
- air filters, UV and fresh air reduce the levels of it
- masks work better the better they fit
- you can be infectious without/before symptoms
- you're fairly likely still to be infectious for 10 days, a few people longer
- current vaccines don't stop you catching it or transmitting it
- it can mess with your immune system so you're more likely to catch other things
- vaccinated people can still get Long Covid
- it's not "mild", it's just that the damage is quiet
then even if they hadn't done anything more to address the problem, people would be in a far better position to deploy their own common sense.
And unlike funding or laws, that investment in _knowledge_ is something it would be difficult for Trump's lot to roll back.
But Biden & co chose instead to play down the risks, and explicitly or implicitly mislead people (e.g. the 5-day quarantine, which contradicts the real infectious period).
So, yes it's worse now, but they _contributed_ to how it is now. They chose to encourage misapprehensions and confusion, and the effects of that choice are still playing out now.
Not letting them off the hook on the grounds of being comparatively "less bad", when they themselves laid some of the foundations of the current state of play.
