@tante@tldr.nettime.orgThis year my plan is not just to write more but also to write a bit out of my usual wheelhouse. Do something that's not just sociotechnological critique.

A superfluous element of a source program included so the
programmer can remember what the hell it was he was doing
six months later. Only the weak-minded need them, according
to those who think they aren't.
@inthehands@hachyderm.ioI don’t know what the hell ICE / CBP / FBI?? / other feds are up to, but we’ve had several •huge• swarms of federal vehicles rolling out these last few days.
They aren’t doing the kinds of chaotic off-the-street kidnappings there were doing all through Dec and Jan. But they sure are up to •something•.

@thomastraynor@social.linux.pizzaDisable my ad blocker to see your article? Nope. How about generic ads? ALSO HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW I AM RUNNING AN AD BLOCKER? Maybe because you are running a F*****g invasive script?
Guess what, I don't go to your site. There are sites with ads that don't ask me that and guess what? I go to their sites. Sometimes I even click on the ad as I find it interesting.
Also, for a couple of true journalists I also pay a bit so that they can keep on writing.
@kctipton@mas.toMan, that was grim as hell how it all ended. It could've been resolved much sooner if what they learned at the very last had been learned like 4 episodes prior. At least Rocco sold the condo which I thought he might not ever do. I hope Lupa lives long enough to finish the series.
@rperezrosario@mastodon.socialCEO and founder of Petabridge Aaron Stannard reviews ways to avoid deep inheritance hierarchies in your software projects. The article goes beyond preferring composition over inheritance and explains what Stannard calls the two deadly sins of deep inheritance, configuration toggle hell, a real world horror story, and shows what can be done instead.

Being a tourists there was awesome, i felt more safe than many other places i've traveled.
But how much of it was just the narcos deciding to keep the peace because it is good for business?

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioHere’s roughly what I told my US Senators:
“I am a resident of Minneapolis, which for the last 6 weeks has been a kind of hell. I am begging you, begging you, to do everything in your power to •stop funding this hell•.
The Department of Homeland Security has become a dangerous rogue organization. Dangerous! The correct amount of funding for the DHS under its current leadership — yes, you heard me, the •entire• DHS — is zero. ZERO.
I consider every dollar above that to be a concession. Fight.”
@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itLike the rule at my wife's old student co-op (sex in public is public sex), a speakerphone conversation in public is a public speakerphone conversation. Feel free to chime in!

@theodric@social.linux.pizzaOn the Raspberry Pi 5, the Raspberry Pi Foundation's decision to require 5v5a and essentially mandate the use of a quite nonstandard USB-C power supply to get the rated performance out of the system is fucking dumbassed to all hell and causes the device to be extremely inflexible in any application outside the most basic maker/dabbler shit. What if I want to integrate the Pi5 with a NAS? I have to put two overrides in config.txt, and then it still moans about undervoltage even when provi…

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioMeanwhile, we’re getting some really disturbing reports in neighborhood chats of ICE dumping injured detainees in parks. We no idea what the hell ICE is doing. This has happened in multiple parks on multiple days in different parts of the city: two confirmed, multiple others who may be part of the pattern. One of them had a fractured skull.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioI appreciate the boosts on the thread above, which I take as support.
The defeatist replies make me despair a bit. Just to address some greatest hits en masse:
1. “Kick them out yourselves” − JFC, what the hell do you think we are trying to do, constantly, day after day, the amount of action and engagement against the federal invasion where I live is like nothing I’ve seen in my lifetime. WE ARE ASKING FOR HELP. Please do not be an ass about it.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioLocal community groups? Busting their asses, but they live and die on volunteer support. Legal system? Too slow, too compromised. City, county, state elected officials? Grasping for something they can do. Local police? Useless or worse than useless, of course.
BUT…all the above are formed by, shaped by, and constrained by popular sentiment. An active, defiant citizenry changes how all these institutions behave. Police know, politicians know, and yes, even judges know: they can only stray so far from what people will tolerate.
This active resistance? Hell yeah, it matters. It’s the short-term •and• the long-term.
