This DHS funding battle is part of a bigger question Democrats must answer as they fight to regain power.

Some Democratic leaders, like New York Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader,
are pushing back against this with much more tepid, unwieldy, and frankly pretty weak ideas to “restrain, reform, and restrict” the agency.

E.g. I have a pre-recorded compact cassette that is 50 years old and works just fine (and sounds great!), and floppy disks from the early 80s that read with no problems.
Yet when I search for this topic everyone always claims "10–20 years" is what to expect from magnetic media.

While working through another last rites slew, I was thinking that back in the day there were a number of developers who believed they should add a lot of packages to #Gentoo, in the name of giving users a choice. Like, they were projects whose sole purpose of existence seemed to be to find every piece of software that roughly fit a specific topic, get it to build and package it for Gentoo.
Of course, the long-term effect of that is that there's a lot of unmaintained, often broken packages. "The choice" doesn't really work. Sure, users have a lot of packages to choose from — but they have to actually figure out which of these packages are actually useful (if any).
A few years ago attempting to remove packages also faced some verbal opposition. You shouldn't remove unmaintained or outdated packages, because they still work. You shouldn't remove packages that sometimes fail to build, because some flag combinations still work. You shouldn't remove packages that don't build at all, because the user can visit Forums and find some workaround to make them build 🤦. Or they'll have an ebuild handy to start working on it. And anyway, you shouldn't be removing stuff at all, but fixing it instead.
Sometimes the arguments were straight dishonest too: people literally said we need more packages to lure new users in. Like, it didn't matter to them that the packages didn't really work and that the people trying to use them will get a nasty surprise. They wanted people to say "hey, Gentoo has this software we need, let's start using Gentoo".

This speech by Zelenskyy at Davos is biting. Glad to see him call out the European hypocrisy of “speaking of values [when] they often mean valuables.” But, my friend, not one mention of Gaza or Palestine given the topic? Ukraine is the closest thing to Palestine Europe has and still no solidarity, not even an acknowledgement? I just don’t get it.

Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by His Own Hubris
On topic after topic, Trump made clear that he thinks he is the arbiter of any limits to his authorities, not international law or treaties.
"My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
“I don’t need international law,”
he added.
“I’m not looking to hurt people.”
When pressed further about whether his administration needed to abide by international law,
Trump said,

Degrowth and socialist comrades, what should we be doing?
Ted Trainer* This is an attempt to clarify this discussion of degrowth strategy, a topic on which I think there is considerable confusion and mistaken approaches. Debate has recently been fuelled by Jason Hickel’s argument for a socialist position on both the goal and the means do it for degrowth. Liegey, Nelson and Leahy replied against Jason, defending the wide and diverse range of strategies now…

Tonight's mild nightmare: I was at an event. Introduction session. Most people already knew each other. Me and my companion were there for the first time. People kept going off topic. I carefully prepared my sentences and adjusted them several times. Shortly before it would have been my turn, the time was up and everyone walked away. I woke up.
The combination of how much energy it took me to find the right words, the tension while waiting and then realizing that it was all for not…

This is a fashion trend. It’s not just functional; camo serves no purpose of disguising whatsoever on Minneapolis streets. Militaries are dressing the part — and ICE is playing dress-up.

There's a lot about the whole "AI topic" where I don't know what I should think. But I am quite worried what the flood of low-quality "AI" code will do to the free and open source ecosystems.
I found this mail from Michał Górny, one of the most active developers at Gentoo Linux (full disclosure: I'm also a Gentoo developer, but not one of the most active ones 🙂 ), about the issues the ecosystem is facing, quite insightful:

If you can, go watch "It Was Just An Accident". It's good (albeit a little slow) and will stay with you long after the credits rolled. Can't say I've watched anything similar yet.

It's hard to approach the topic of Persona and all their partners without just falling into the suggestion of telling everyone to self-host their life online, it's probably gonna be what everyone needs to do eventually but in a way it's a platform-wide version of when we were leaving Twitter.

I see somebody else is on this topic today! And yes, billionaires will use regulatory capture to the maximum extent they can get away with — so yes, I fully expect the AI lobby to advocate a tangled legal regime where LLM output is copyrighted but copying data to train an LLM is not a copyright violation.

A much-discussed topic on here is how many pundits only assign agency to Democrats.

No, it’s absolutely not. It’s an extremely well researched topic with an abundance of studies, literature and scientific articles over the last 75 years.
