I have created business cards, stickers, and a website for spreading awareness and push back wherever there are Harry Potter products.
The idea is simple: print or order some cards/stickers, then whenever you run into a place hawking hate-fund merch, drop a card and to let the business and/or prospective customers know.
@BigGayShaun Oh no poor thing.
@kate She’s prone to these things since her immune system issues started a year ago and is fine in herself. We’re treating her with meds to soothe her stomach and hopefully reset things. She gets a change of scenery today as she’s off to work with the husband, which is one of her favourite things to do.
Two powerful hurricanes and a strengthening tropical storm have been churning through the Pacific Ocean where waters are being warmed by a historically strong El Nino climate episode. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/09/03/el-nino-pacific-cyclones/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #storms #elnino #climatechange #environment #drought #typhoons

@jrdepriest @davidgerard the honored matres are at it again, eh?
A key consideration in memory buffering is whether we need to keep more than one size of buffer: single page buffers for page-nodes and larger sizes for multi-page blocks. It is a common property of modern computer systems that a multi-page read may be accomplished in a scatter/gather form to several non-contiguous memory locations
see i wish i had heard this when i began parallelizing zip file extraction and couldn't find a single example or any mention on the entire internet of anyone trying to do a scatter/gather on the archive format that tells you where everything is laid out in advance!

Unsafe Operations in B-trees
Bin Zhang and Meichun Hsu (1989)
THE GLOVES ARE COMING OFF!!!
A simple mathematical model for analyzing the dynamics of a B-tree node is presented.
you would not BELIEVE how uncommon this sort of very basic analysis is across the database and filesystem literature from the past half-century
We call split, merge, borrow and balance operations unsafe operations in this paper.
in particular, these operations induce (global) contention, which reduces throughput
@timmy I'm gonna hope you are joking. Nobody under about 60 has ever seen a chequebook here. 😆
@timmy After some discussions with native Norwegians I am raising that to 70.
NEW: Over the “strongest possible” objections of a federal prosecutor handling the case, Trump DOJ officials quashed plans to bring civil rights charges against an ICE agent accused of shooting a Venezuelan immigrant and then lying about it.
#Minnesota #Minneapolis #ICE #Immigration #Law #Legal #News #DOJ
Trump’s DOJ is not there to protect the rule of law, he made sure it is there to protect his interests. And SCOTUS and house and Senate let him.
When this is over these should be a trial to send these collaborators to jail.

I post a lot of stories about cops using Flock to stalk former or current partners, but don't forget that cops also use Flock to intimidate and harass people who try to hold them accountable.

Israel's use of so-called "shepherding outposts" to seize Palestinian land through settler herders is now being exported to Syria, as an Israeli settler, supported by the state, occupies Syrian pastureland in Wadi Toemm with a herd of 140 cattle.

PICARD: No. Just the tea please.
COMPUTER: Great. Keeping it light and fun. I'll get that tea started for you. If you need anything else or want to mix it up, I'll be right here.
PICARD: Alright. So... Uh... Go. Do it. Proceed? Make the tea.
COMPUTER: Ah. I see where the confusion is. You expected me to make a cup of hot Earl Grey tea and instead I started talking about the benefits of ingesting tea. That's on me.
PICARD: Yes it is. No chit chat. Just the tea please. Earl Grey. Hot.
COMPUTER: You got it. We'll just relax together as you make the tea.
PICARD: No. No. You're the one making the tea. Make it now. Engage. Make it so.

COMPUTER: *gurgle* Mmmmmshofnbfjerry. *replicates something*
PICARD: That's not tea. That's a warm glass of wine.

Abled people have special rules they apply to disabled people that they don't apply to themselves

I mean, driving walking distances is itself pretty disgusting. The outrage I feel is what has been done to people, to make them wheelchair bound. Whether they're overweight or had their legs blown off, it's a fucking tragedy, and I wish they could be fully abled and healthy. Since they (and we) can't be, I'll do everything I can to make sure they have wheelchair access and accessibility. Don't give a fuck whether someone "really needs" it, and the means testing morons who do can go fuck themselves straight to hell.
