Darline Graham, who has been sworn in to serve out her brother's Senate seat, will not automatically inherent his committee assignments, and will almost certainly not be assigned to any leadership slots, which are heavily seniority-based in the Senate. She'll be essentially a caretaker […]

[fitness, ph+] After wearing bulky clothes all winter I didn't realize how much the shape of my body had changed thanks to intensifying my workouts and working on my diet. All my shorts are too loose (in the waist) and all my tshirts are too tight (in the chest and arms)

new infowars was pretty good

Is anyone aware of any reputable analysis of Canada's bill C-22 and its compatibility with the GDPR and other regulations in Europe? My basic understanding is that just the metadata collection part of it would make it impossible for Canadian tech companies to do business in the EU, because the […]

Apparently a ton of packages in AUR got pwned by something that uses npm install to drop a rootkit and infostealer? Trying desperately to find a useful/authoritative writeup on this because all I've come across so far is basically "run my script from github gists to see if you're affected" and […]

Anyone remember the old PhoenixBIOS where it drew the Phoenix logo? Does anyone know which versions did that - or better yet, have a video of it booting? #retrocomputing

Before I make something, has anyone got a way to subscribe (rss/atom) to releases of all repos from an organisations repositories on GitHub?

If you want an idea of how the economy's doing, my wife and are going out to dinner to celebrate that we got cold feet at the same time and decided NOT to buy a house. Even though we found one that we really like and ostensibly could afford. Everything that's going on in the world makes it feel […]

Just set up backups for my ejabberd server. I think. All I need to do is take a postgres db dump and back up the file contents of /var/lib/ejabberd/upload, right? #xmpp #ejabberd

So I set up a XMPP server in my homelab this weekend to see how the ecosystem has evolved since the last time I used it. Only took me a few hours. It seems like it has pretty much everything we'd expect from IM these days? E2EE with forward secrecy, group chats, message archives, reactions […]

the net result of course is that despite ADA features the subway remains unusable for people who need ADA features. This is a major reason why seniors often prefer bus service-- the subway is unavailable if you prefer to use elevators or escalators.

The worst fandom is The Bible fandom. So many factions, so much infighting, so much non-cannon fan fiction. And tons of fake fans who have never read the manga.

RE: https://lgbtqia.space/@alice/116582723773207167 Grocery shopping exists on a spectrum all they way from "it's delivered to your doorstep" on one side and "you have to travel to the store, walk around collecting your items, check them out, and bag them". Most people's experience is much […]

[linux keyboard question] On my work laptop (PopOS-aka-Ubuntu, previous LTS, old Gnome-based Cosmic) the F1-12 keys have their tradition effect; holding down Fn triggers the media key meaning. On my personal laptop (MX-aka-Debian, latest stable, XFCE), F1-12 act as media keys by default, while […]

A fascinating thing about being on the inside of a software company that wanted to become "AI Native" is that I get to watch the bubble pop from the inside. We're staring down the barrel of a 1000x price increase for the LLM cost of servicing this critical path workflow that we've had in […]

“For years, we’ve been told that we don’t have to worry about a crazy president launching a nuclear war, because the military would not carry out any illegal order,” said Joe Cirincione. “But that’s not real. What we’ve seen in the last year is the military repeatedly carrying out illegal […]

I’m helping my elderly mother (93) adapt to a new computer. It’s an iMac. She’s had Mac’s for the last 25 years. Mostly this is fine. But man, Apple has completely lost their way with accessibility. Some things, obviously are world-leading. I don’t want to ignore that. But the fucking mouse […]

Pasting into PowerShell on Windows 11 is orders of magnitude slower than doing the same on Windows 10. Is there a workaround for this?

How do I sort a list of tuples in a way that the items are in as few consecutive tuples as possible? [(a,b),(a,c),(a,d),(b,c),(b,d),(c,d)] -> [(a,b),(c,d),(a,d),(b,c),(b,d),(a,c)]
