You know it’s almost 40 years later, and #JoeRogan is still playing the same character.
The character on the show was a lot better.
Which is a shame because he’s being paid a hell of a lot more to play a much shittier character.

Video clip from the TV show “news radio” from 1996, with Joe Rogan playing “Joe the electrician” sounding, pretty much the same as Joe Rogan from 2024 as he talks about stupid bullshit conspiracies.
Sadly, there’s not a real life Dave to shut the real one down.

Never forget that the reason US dropped 2 nuclear bombs on Japanese civilians had nothing to do with forcing Japan's surrender. Those bombs were dropped for the primary purpose of sending a message to the USSR, showing what America was prepared to do to them too.
Palestine serves the same purpose today, US directs a genocide in Palestine to send the same message to Iran and Syria: look what US is prepared to do to you too.

Do not celebrate. They're lying. They have another measure that does the exact same thing that they're still collecting for. It just also eliminates commissions so they can call it commission reform. They're still trying to make the mayor a dictator.

Is it because billionaires by their very nature are all anti-democratic? I heard of one once that wasn't, but one hardly stands a chance against many with the same economic power among them. Why though would many others cede power and money to one, two, or a few? A coalition could quickly end preeminant power of a billionaire. They should.

Even if new bridges and tunnels are not being built on this Ragusa–Siracusa line as far as I can see, the track is in quite good shape all over Sicily, and between Caltanissetta Xirbi and Catania significant upgrades seemed to be ongoing.

For what's primarily a source distribution, the binary packages in #Gentoo have some cool features (with binpkg-multi-instance). The package manager can create and use different variants (builds) of the same source package, with different USE flag combinations *and* bound dependency versions.
So, NumPy 2 introduced ABI changes. Packages built against NumPy 2 work with NumPy 1, but not the other way around. Upstreams resolve this by building wheels against NumPy 2. We can't express that properly, so we force rebuilds after switching between NumPy 1 and 2.
What's really cool, though, is that once I've built all the NumPy-using packages against both NumPy versions, i can switch between them trivially using binary packages. Like, literally I can do:
$ emerge -vk --jobs "dev-python/numpy<2"
…and I get NumPy 1 and all of its reverse dependencies built against NumPy 1 installed from binary packages. If I go for NumPy 2 instead, then again, everything is reinstalled from the other set of binary packages. All of this works transparently and effortlessly — when there's no matching binary package, #Portage builds one, and starts using it the next time around.

Throwing some things out here that might be naive. Oh well. Why don't some democratically minded billionaires fight rightwing billionaires? Is it because billionaires by their very nature are all anti-democratic? I heard of one once that wasn't, but one hardly stands a chance against many with the same economic power among them. Why though would many others cede power and money to one, two, or a few? A coalition could quickly end preeminant power of a billionaire. They should.

Interception, data breach, data leak, unauthorized data transfer...
All these terms basically mean the same thing: Available data is repurposed.
But they all have a negative connotation. I propose that we change our attitude, think positive about it and henceforth call it "data upcycling", using this logo

It's International Workers' Day!
Last year, I did some quick and dirty math: a family/unattached individual earning Canada's median after-tax income would've had to work roughly 290,000 years to make the amount the wealthiest Canadian was worth.
Now, using the latest Bloomberg and StatsCan numbers, that same family/individual would have to work approx. 710,000 years. Put differently, it would take all of Canada's 7th largest city (Mississauga) a year to earn a…

Over three visits to the European hospital’s ICU in Rafah, Gaza, I saw multiple children occupy the same bed. Each one arriving after a bomb had ripped through their home. Each one dying despite doctors’ immense efforts.

New Burger King Coupons just dropped!!
(I’m actually kind of joking, because the codes stay the same from month-to-month so they don’t ever really expire, and I haven’t had a Burger King employee asked me for an actual physical coupon in quite some time 😂)

An AI generated image of Godzilla using a self-checkout machine at a grocery store. The Godzilla appears in the same way he does in the original movies. Very "action-figure" type character.

1/2 Looking at one of the #xz writeup, this struck my eye: “The release tarballs upstream publishes don't have the same code that GitHub has. This is common in C projects so that downstream consumers don't need to remember how to run autotools and autoconf.” Ah, GNU AutoHell, I remember it well. Tl;dr: With AutoHell, even if you're building for a 19-bit Multics variant from 1988, it’s got yo…

Mitt Romney Has Crystal Clear Message On Voting For Trump
“Having a president who is so defaulted of character would have an enormous impact on the character of America. And for me, that’s the primary consideration.”
Romney didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020, and he said last year he would likely make the same decision at the polls in November should Trump be the nominee.
