We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

And that was where our most advanced bombsight was like, "We can land roughly on a...city, I guess"

Today, we can drop a missile through a specific window yet, somehow, keep hitting schoolkids, for wars that serve no existential aim save for the aggrandizement of bloodthirsty old men.

On bluesky, we often have discourse about the strategic bombing of WW2, and like, the large historical consensus is still not entirely sure if strat bombing was a valid wartime tactic - and that was against the most evil empire on the earth that planned to conquer the entire planet and kill everyone

(though for loss32 i guess you could just use a custom/modified/generous compositor that implements zones to be the entire display, or (ab)use wlr_layer_shell for that specific case, or hell just use Chromium OS's compositor which has implemented real absolute positioning in an extension for years)

> because the taskbar needs to be at the bottom of the screen
Zones still doesn't support that. Even the experimental KWin plugin implementing this, which will probably be one of the most generous, only permits the area above the taskbar. And AFAICT, the main kwin dev has no intention of merging it

the US once again sending the message loud and clear: never negotiate, just get nukes. Never compromise, just get nukes. Never give in to sanctions, just get nukes.

what could go wrong

Looks like this is specifically affiliate links, not the books themselves. Horrible for review sites (which isn't great for the market, ofc), and a bad sign for the future, but you should be personally ok at least for now.

Good luck with your recovery, and I hope this fixes your cyst thing! Congrats on the new liver, too!

It was fun to participate in that! Never did as much as I perhaps ought to have, but very much enjoyed it and felt useful there.

‘She was an amazing human being:’ Mother identifies woman shot, killed by ICE agent Renee Nicole Good, 37, lived in the Twin Cities with her partner.

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

For a second I thought you meant the vertical tab character (U+000B ␋) vs the more normal horizontal tab character (U+0009 ␉), haha

we live in the most high surveillence state in history, companies like palantir exist to know everything about us, and they still can’t do anything. kind of astounding how often this has happened under trumps 2nd term

My "realistic" take on this is suffrage after 30 days as primary residence, which is what PA (and I think most states?) have as their criteria for US citizens getting the vote

AAC is going to be way worse at low bitrates. I'd try Lyra, Satin, or maybe Codec 2

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy

“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic

they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned

During Newsom discourse yesterday saw a liberal look a trans person in the eye and say, ~you can't focus so narrowly on single issues~. I am the single issue!! You can't remove the issue from the discussion without removing *me* from the discussion!

The issue is the chemical makeup of my *blood*!

Turns out you can just hack any train in the USA and take control over the brakes. This is CVE-2025-1727 and it took me 12 years to get this published. This vulnerability is still not patched.

The discoverer posted a writeup on Twitter (only there, unfortunately): twitter-thread.com/t/1943708133...

Gives some more details than the article. To disambiguate jargon: BCH checksums aren't a security thing, they're just error-correcting-codes to repair transmission errors from noise.
