I like big boosts and I cannot lie

I didn't choose to be trans. I just am.

But here's the thing: whether or not being trans is innate is *completely irrelevant* because bodily autonomy is a human right. Abortion is a human right because everyone has the right to decide what to do with their own body. Same with gender affirming care.

@campuscodi could they be using people's PCs to compute their AI like the malware mines crypto?

2 new vulnerabilities similar to copyfail:

- CVE-2026-43284 (Dirty Frag)
- CVE-2026-43500

https://github.com/V4bel/dirtyfrag

We're waiting for a release containing the last one before pushing new kernels to aports.

https://github.com/V4bel/dirtyfrag#mitigation mentions a mitigation in the meantime.

emacs already has just the best regex grammar composition API: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Rx-Notation.html

35.3.3 The rx Structured Regexp Notation

As an alternative to the string-based syntax, Emacs provides the structured rx notation based on Lisp S-expressions. This notation is usually easier to read, write and maintain than regexp strings, and can be indented and commented freely. It requires a conversion into string form since that is what regexp functions expect, but that conversion typically takes place during byte-compilation rather than when the Lisp code using the regexp is run.

Here is an rx that matches a block comment in the C programming language:

(rx "/*"                    ; Initial /*
    (zero-or-more
     (or (not "*")          ;  Either non-*,
         (seq "*"           ;  or * followed by
              (not "/"))))  ;     non-/
    (one-or-more "*")       ; At least one star,
    "/")                    ; and the final /

I am testing something, I hope I dont get a @ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt rewoot nor a @yassie_j@labyrinth.zone rewoot nor @catsalad@infosec.exchange , that could kill the server oh no

i mean a gargron one too would be a good stress test for this new code

In 1984, around 30% of Americans were diagnosed with dementia by the end of their 80s. Today it’s 10%.

If rates had stayed steady there would be 17 million Americans with dementia today. Instead there are 6 million. This saves us around a trillion dollars in medical bills per year and unknowable suffering.

Every five year cohort measured has had a lower risk than the cohort before them.

We don’t know why.

@Elizafox Even with all its flaws, it is truly one of the wonders of the modern world.

(I've been defending it for citation since the very early days, for the record.)

(Except the math pages. Never go to wikipedia to find out about a math concept, cuz it is, apparently, the only source of pleasure for lonely math postdocs, and hence, incomprehensible.)

boosts count as posts, so doable.

"Flash! Flash, I love you! But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!"

"Supremacy is an unnatural fever that makes those least infected do the suffering and dying for those who are most infected … but which eventually comes for us all. So supremacy is what’s going to have to be stopped—and stopped in a way it never has been before, at a radical transformational institutional and cultural level—before we can truly have a culture of healing, and those who aren’t aligned with stopping it aren’t aligned with healing

An opportunity to work for a great dude, at a fun company…

If this is in your wheelhouse you should jump at this opportunity before it’s too late.

Most regex engines only have an HIR like this, and usually construct it directly from the concrete syntax. This crate however first parses the concrete syntax into an Ast, and only then creates the HIR from the Ast, as mentioned above. It’s done this way to facilitate better error reporting, and to have a structured representation of a regex that faithfully represents its concrete syntax. Namely, while an Hir value can be converted back to an equivalent regex pattern string, it is unlikely to look like the original due to its simplified structure.

None of those words are in the English language

"One thing I’ve pointed out before is that healing doesn’t happen until the harming is stopped."

Oh FOR FUCK’S SAKE!

Ivermectin doesn’t do shit for hantavirus. I know. I treated multiple cases in residency. Can we stop with the antihelminthic for viruses shit already?!? It was an OK theory, but it hasn’t panned out, and dumb motherfuckers who just can’t seem to live their lives without pissing away their savings on some grifter’s horseshit need to find a better snake oil. Jesus. Fuck.

rust regex supports this approach somewhat, although it will not be quite so convenient: https://docs.rs/regex-syntax/latest/regex_syntax/hir/index.html

Defines a high-level intermediate (HIR) representation for regular expressions.

The HIR is represented by the Hir type, and it principally constructed via translation from an Ast. Alternatively, users may use the smart constructors defined on Hir to build their own by hand. The smart constructors simultaneously simplify and “optimize” the HIR, and are also the same routines used by translation.
