I just had a weird and wild dream:
A jerk installed OpenBSD over the existing system on my laptop, telling me how it would be so great, completely dismissing the huge loss of data he caused.
I held him, asked people for help and to call the police, and some people did help to keep him, but no police ever showed up, and I waited for a long, long while.
He stuttered some non-sense, asked whether I had set up five nines.
At somepoint, I finally woke up.
Woah, what a …

Zero days since #CPython broke the extension ABI at the very last minute after asking everyone repeatedly to test prereleases. And of course they don't bother tracking ABI changes in any way, so they could at least give people heads up that important pieces of their system will start segfaulting after the upgrade. All they can offer is a knee-jerk response of "we never promised ABI stability".
And yes, this is a huge PITA for #Gentoo users who opted in to helping out.

This team I work with at my new job is so chill, everyone is so nice, there are no jerks. So I decided that clearly, I need to become the jerk. You know. Just to mix it up
That attack in Golders Green was by a mentally disturbed man who that same day attacked a non Jewish man.
But it is being used as evidence of a wave of attacks on the Jewish community.
While the Israeli State's genocide is leading some to turn, without justification, on unconnected Jewish people, it is essential that clarity of evidence is prioritised. Otherwise politicians will do the usual knee jerk of hurried decisions such as bans on legitimate solidarity actions.
I really like the concept of noticing "greyed out options": perfectly reasonable if sometimes wacky things that you can do in a situation but that you accidentally treat as unavailable, like a greyed out option in a dialog box in software.
Once you start noticing them, you unlock a whole lot of self-awareness.
An example tonight from a moderation decision: someone who's kind of a jerk and often gets their messages blocked on the forum, and it's never quite over the line but often borderline. Do we ban the person or not?
Wait: there's a third option! We can send them a message and tell 'em to knock it off and contribute better.
Unlocking that not only gets you a lot more information as a moderator to decide whether to keep someone, but also gives them the opportunity to change their behavior.
So I had always thought that Erie liked to sit on laptop keyboards because of the warmth from the machine underneath.
But no, here she is sitting on a bluetooth keyboard (and it's not even on). She does it not for the warmth, but just to be a jerk. Though to be fair, I DID take her to the vet today, so I deserve it.

"this isn’t just knee-jerk tax avoidance. It’s an attempt to nullify a competing vision of the city before it gains momentum. If San Francisco successfully builds social housing at scale, rents will finally come down as a result. That would be good news for everyone — except this tiny group of extremely wealthy investors, who much prefer the current situation in which they alone dictate how much new housing is built"
Well put, @…

@… I *love* the knee jerk reactions in the replies.
Yes of course lots is *also* wrong about the US, absolutely. But as a European immigrant in America, I imagine that like you, I’ve also learned about at least a few things that are better. We should all want to combine the best of all worlds, not just go “Boo America sucks”.
You know what I love…
Darth #Trump—who in the world can take this jerk seriously anymore? Who wants to do business with liars, contract breakers, criminals, and corrupt individuals, especially when it comes to matters of national security?
We shouldn’t pin our hopes on the midterm elections and wait around; instead, we should assume that things in the U.S. are only going to get worse. ❗
