Remember when DVDs were double-sided with one side pan & scan and the other side widescreen?
The funny part is that because the data is opposite the label, this side of the DVD actually contains the widescreen version.
Also interesting is that this DVD doesn't have a menu, it goes straight into the movie.
I'm old enough to remember the unraveling of the Watergate cover-up, and the Epstein story has a very familiar stench. #USpol
Remember that authoritarian movements of all kinds, but especially fascist movements, do not initially have the power to force an entire nation state to bend to their will. They need — not just benefit from, but absolutely •need• — the passive acquiescence of large numbers of people.
Loud, annoying, visible resistance punctures the lie that it’s inevitable, that people who keep their heads down will be rewarded in the end.

It’s hard to believe it has been 20 years since John Resig first introduced a Javascript library called jQuery. It completely changed the way we approached the DOM and standardized the web for a generation of developers.

This was a really nice walk. Just as I like it: small paths along a nice mountain.

I keep thinking that I should text a friend of mine, tell him how much I've been writing, tell him I mentioned him in something I wrote. Then I remember he died like 4 years ago.
Edit:
It must have been more like 6 or something now that I'm thinking about it. It was part of the way through the first Trump administration. He would have really appreciated the way Trump is unraveling now. One of the last times we talked he was like... "You know man, You used to play 'Baby, I'm an anarchist' and I'd think... ' don't want to throw a brick through a Starbucks window. I kinda like their coffee sometimes.' But the way things have been going lately, I'm kind of looking around and thinking you might be right. Fuck Starbucks. Where's that brick?"
At least I won the SRV vs the Hendrix version of Voodoo Chile debate. Hendrix is just better.
We used to talk about music, especially punk (and rockabilly, and ska, and 2 tone), and poetry, and beer. He liked hop stupid, but I always thought it didn't have the body to match the hops and I always preferred Racer 5. Of course, this time of year we'd be shifting in to red and stout season, and I'd be excited for Lagunitas Russian Imperial and this year's Bourbon County Stout batch.
He was really big in to Star Wars. He missed all of Andor, which is probably the best thing to have come out since the original 3. But I guess he also missed the new trilogy, so maybe it balances out.
He would have really liked all the good music I've run across in the last few years. He had a music blog for a bit.
Yeah... I don't know why it's hitting me so hard now, other than maybe I never had time to really process it before.
Där var små skillnader i vissa test i några situationer. Tex verkade resultaten variera något beroende på hur länga personerna fastat. Så kanske är vissa egenskaper påverkade något vid vissa tillfällen.

I must have missed this - Netflix is possibly going to buy Warner Brothers.
My grandparents lived close to the old Republic Studios, and not far from Universal, Disney, Warner (and the secret Lookout Mountain studio.) The area wasn't called "Studio City" for nothing.
I remember one trip to Warner right after Kent State. Our class went to one of those cool viewing studios (the kind one sees in movies) at Warner to see the rough edit (with extra violence!) of The Wil…

Interestingly enough ghcr.io seems to remember old repo-names when pushing an image (probably as long as they originally came from my github). Once I renamed to sth new the build went through. It is also telling, in the larger scheme of things, that I was adding flatpak removal to the code, only to find out I previously wrote a just action for that 🤣 Keeping ourselves busy, are we? 😜

Bell with another round of layoffs. The r/bell thread seems to think 10% across the country. It’s can't actually remember a time when Bell announced they were 'hiring'.

Senility sucks. I guess that when you get to the point where you can't remember your own name, the solution is to have it put on everything.
@… I saw something about this flyover in advance, but can't remember where. But I still don't like them, perhaps for the same reasons as you.
And now I worry that the helicopters are from ICE.
Of course, economic pressure isn't the only tool we have. Diversity of tactics is critical. I'm not going to tell anyone not to throw buckets of screws into the parking lots and driveways of ICE facilities or blockading facilities with burning dumpstes. Even if i don't promote those types of tactics, we should all STFU if we see people doing them. We all have a place. There are things we can all do. Everything is on the table and it should be, because ICE agents will intimidate you, steal your car, and even murder you for just filming them.
You can cower in fear, or you can stand up and fight with everything you have. Which or those do you want to remember yourself doing?

Happy retirement, Eugen!
Old enough to remember a time where if Trump's comments on the murder of Khashoggi (apparently downplaying it by saying he was "extremely controversial” and “things happen”) were said by anyone in relation to the recent murder of a podcaster, resignations would be demanded.

It’s strange thinking about how much pain I’ve grown to accept and have just learned to live with.
I love writing by hand too much to give it up - with my ADHD it helps me focus, remember thins better, think through complex ideas. Journaling has been a great way to manage my mental illnesses. I love paper, I love collecting notebooks.
Not to mention that I am a hobbyist artist and draw on a regular basis. (Somehow that has been less painful for me than writing… but if writing cramped my hand then drawing would be agonizing too and I’d have to take weeks off on a nearly constant basis).
So suddenly purchasing a new kind of pen and realizing it MADE THE PAIN DISAPPEAR feels like magic. I literally feel less disabled.
I just wish I bought a fountain pen years ago 😅
I'm rewatching Firefly (on Disney ).
The CGI is obviously lacking modern lighting techniques and often feels soft, the compositing has clipped highlights due to the lack of a modern linear and color-managed workflow. But that's to be expected. The show came out more than 20 years ago!
What matters more is the story and its vibe. I remember it as one of the most beloved sci-fi shows back then, in good company with
Remember when the Internet could go for weeks or even months without a major outage? That was cool.

“The average redditor agrees with me…”
While fascist ideas never found a foothold among the majority of Americans,
they exerted considerable influence during the period between the first and second world wars.
Extremist groups like
the Silver Shirts,
the Christian Front,
the Black Legion and
the Ku Klux Klan claimed hundreds of thousands of members.
Together they glorified a white Christian nation purified of Jews, Black Americans, immigrants and communists.

This is a subtweet...
People who are not anti-capitalist sometimes wonder: "Why is there a monopoly on X life-critical thing?" (E.g., epipens, insulin, web search).
This one is really simple actually: because monopolies are more profitable than competition, and the foundation of capitalism is that capital = power.
Various societies have recognized the necropolitical outcomes of monopolies and have tried to erect barriers to monopoly; we all know that monopolies are bad, death-and-suffering-causing things. But since these societies mostly remain capitalist, they allow these barriers to be eroded by the power of capital (to do otherwise would be to repudiate capitalism because it puts a limit on the power of money). The barriers are ineffective, and the capital = power equation holds, and monopolies result and get to do their killing & maiming thing (remember: even things like social media monopolies that you wouldn't expect to pay for political assassinations like a mining company still profit from inciting genocides). *Sometimes* there are oligopolies instead of monopolies, but instances of really competitive markets are pretty rare for things that are widely sought-after.
The "government will manage the markets to prevent bad outcomes like monopolies" strategy has failed repeatedly, spectacularly, and almost universally. To actually prevent monopolies you need a population that no longer believes that money should equal power, it's that simple. Sadly, it's actually not that simple, since all of the alternatives which equate something else to power, like "the king" or "party loyalty as judged by the supreme leader" have the same problems or worse. The attitude you need to cultivate is "nobody should have power," which is hard because *all* of the power-systems we have constantly propagandize against this attitude in myriad ways. Still, in the future once we've broken free of this age where hierarchy is accepted, people will look back and wonder whether the historical records are even credible given how much needless death and suffering were endured with little resistance.

before anyone says Elon's cancer-inducing data center in Tennessee is "conservatives getting what they deserve", remember that it's in *Memphis*, Tennessee, a large city with a 60% BIPOC and mostly politically liberal population, in general the privileged *never* get what they deserve and the the idea that they do is used to divide the working class against the supposed "backwards" populations who "deserve" right-wing policies

Dear University Administrators,
"Part of my job is to protect the university" is:

I remember a friend who worked at a company that made a popular browser, and complained that I didn't have any "skin in the game" when I constantly complained about the browser the company was building.
Great guy, but I could not accept "be quiet, you are not part of this" when I am a browser user, web user, former-web developer (1995-2010) and just a person who gives a shit about privacy, security, and enshittification in general.
Old enough to remember 2013-02-07 when any web page that included a Facebook-supplied javascript resource (to enable the, once ubiquitous, Facebook Connect) redirected users to Facebook.

Yesterday I finished "A First Time for Everything" by Dan Santant. A lovely autobiographical graphic novel about a summer foreign exchange trip between middle and high school with plenty of awkwardness but also some romance.
It perfectly captures the state of an awkward but also self-aware pre-teen/young teenager, and the various international escapades depicted are both hilarious and touching. Also fascinating to read about international travel circa 1989, which in many ways was comparable to stuff I remember from late in the 90s: parents seeing you off at the gate; expected to navigate a foreign city with just a map, etc.
A really fun book.

Both were discovered by women.
Jocelyn Bell discovered neutron stars, in the guise of “pulsars”, in 1967.
