After discussing the possibility for several months, European nations are finally forming a unified barrier of insurance checks and enforcement around areas where Russia's shadow fleet operate... a very important development, as it either will deprive them from the ability to keep evading sanctions, or significantly increase the costs and risks of doing so.
Big ramifications. This could have a major impact on Russia's recent long term oil delivery deal with India, i.e.

Twelve European countries to jointly counter Russia's shadow fleet exporting oil
Twelve European countries have agreed to jointly counter the shadow fleet used by Russia to export oil, bypassing the G7-imposed price cap. Ships will now be checked for valid insurance documents.

Old graphical editor prototype (2019/20) with various ways of managing multiple selections of graphical entities, incl. align/distribute, duplicate, invert, select/deselect region (box/convex hull). editor is generic. items could be files, shapes, mesh vertices, 2d/3d points, graph nodes, whatever...
Been re-animating this prototype and toying with integrating it into my personal note taking & media management tool to organize items into piles for batch-processing and to easier app…

"The German newspaper #Bild also used a screenshot from the video with the caption: "The hunt for Jews has broken out again: Arab mob chases soccer fans in #Amsterdam."
#DW Fact check: False

Fact check: Amsterdam video doesn't show attack on Israelis

Soll ich einfach warten, bis #Wicked2 rauskommt? Ich gehe doch im Musical auch nicht in der Pause raus und komme ein Jahr später wieder, um den Rest zu sehen.

We play Penn State tomorrow. As I said 3 weeks ago... after barely beating Hawaii, I don't see the UCLA Bruins having another win all season.
At least we're gonna make gobs of cash from the BIG 10 conference share of the recent media contract renegotiation... but this is embarrassing.

Ever since having had a chance to use a microWAVE for a few productions in the 90s, I always had a softspot for Waldorf synths because of their spectrally rich & interesting sound character (and their design had a big impact on the few synth engines I coded myself)... Eyeing again their Iridium desktop synth, which with their wavetable, sample, granular or resonator-based oscillators and ample filter and modulation features is also so fresh, innovative & powerful (even though it'…

Les ami.es, j'ai écrit le second épisode de mon podcast Yakafokon. Il portera sur l'infrastructure immuable.
Le script fait 15k caractères, soit la taille d'un petit article MISC. Je voudrais bien deux relecteurs ou relectrices (un.e innocent.e et un.e spécialiste) afin de voir si c'est compréhensible et que je raconte pas trop de la merde.
Il a t-il des personnes qui auraient un peu de temps Š donner cette semaine ? 😍
EDIT: J'ai trouvé mes relecteurs/relectrices. Vous êtes formidables 💗
