Discussion
As a former professional football player, I can confidently say that this essay is incorrect from every conceivable angle, and contributes heavily to the culture of toxic masculinity that still infests high schools and colleges across the country.

🇷🇺🇰🇵 #Russia has been sending abducted Ukrainian children to a summer camp in North Korea, according to a European Union document seen by RFE/RL outlining a new round of planned sanctions.

I don't ride in robotaxis. Period. I don't care who makes them. The more you know about the failure modes, the more they should scare the hell out of you. The companies endlessly quote statistics claiming they are safer than human drivers, using the classic techniques described in Darrell Huff's "How to Lie with Statistics" -- first printed in 1954, still in print, and still a classic.

I forgot to do the geography quizzes this morning, and now I'm a bit tired (number two should have been 100)

Final score: 934
Okay, I'm too tired tonight... (not doing the other ones, or at least not publishing the very possibly embarrassing scores)

This one will hurt: I love 1Password as a product. But I'm the son of a concentration camp survivor. I will not give money to companies that align themselves with nationalism, and certainly not ethnic cleansing. Completely disappointing, @1password. https://www.flyingpenguin.com/dhh-nazism-funded-by-1password-vp-who-wrote-honest-security/
@ramsey Reading this back, I also think I need to draw a line between "vanity project" and "evil." I think a lot of these places aren't evil per se. They just don't exist to do good - they exist to make someone with a lot of money *feel* like they're doing good. This can, and up to a point *does*, overlap with actually doing useful and positive things for the world.
But it's still a loose proxy. That's what we're seeing: situations where vanity and charity don't overlap, and it becomes clear which force is animating these organizations, and the answer isn't flattering. That doesn't mean donated money is totally wasted, it means there's a complex trust issue at play, where I have to be honest with myself "this place is primarily about someone's ego and incidentally about fighting oppression - what floating point percentage of my donation will do something that matters?"
I'm not saying they can't act as allies, but when you're relying on them as allies, you're scraping the bottom of a barrel.
@MaddieM4 Good point. The discourse is so polarizing on any topic these days, when someone is critical of anything, the automatic reaction is to assume a good vs. evil stance, hence the defensiveness others are displaying and my statement that I can’t view them as evil.
Sometimes I do actually deserve awards of some kind
@TheBreadmonkey @Thatmermaid_J Oh yeah? Sometimes I actually do deserve a warrant of some kind. :P
New Commonshub Collection: Permaculture & Biodiversity
Healthy landscapes are complicated systems - soil, plants, wildlife, water, climate and the people working to understand how they all fit together.
Our new Permaculture & Biodiversity Collection brings together growers, researchers, ecologists and practitioners sharing ideas about permaculture, regenerative growing, biodiversity and resilient landscapes.
If you’re interested in how we can work with natural systems rather than against them, this is a great group of accounts to explore.
https://social.thecommonshub.com/collections/117220309111890929
And as always, if there’s someone we’ve missed who belongs here, let us know.

Also the company can remotely lock the doors and deliver you to the police, or anyone else.
I recommend "How to Lie with Statistics".
There are lies, dammed lies, statistics and US Corporate PRs.
Huge congratulations to the US-based Wikimedia Foundation employees who voted with 92% support in favor of unionizing, and shoutout to the tireless work of the organizers.

I hate so so so much about modern computers and programming.
@quixoticgeek I agree (it's satire btw)
Ce que j’avais prédit est en train d’arriver dans ma boîte.
Claude coûte trop cher. La direction ferme les vannes. Les gens sont devenus incapable de sortir une ligne de code par elleux-même. Personne n’est compétant·e sur le code qui a été produit jusque là. Personne ne veut le maintenir.

`grub-gen-asciih` validates that it got 3 args, inits FreeType, opens the given font face, configures the desired pixel sizes, opens the output, & via a helper iterates over the ASCII charset. For each it retrieves the glyph (via another helper) & reformats it into a dataheader.
`grub-editenv` performs some OS-specific init, parses commandline flags & remaining args, & dispatches based on the subcommand. `grub-editenv create` defers to `grub_util_create_envblk_file()`.
3/4!
`grub-editenv list` transiently-opens & iterates over the envblock file with a callback printing the key=value pairs.
`grub-editenv set` transiently opens the envblock file so it can pass the parsed data to `grub_envblk_set()`. Whilst `grub-editenv unset` defers to `grub_envblk_delete()`.
Otherwise `grub-editenv` complains.
There's a helper for carefully opening the envblock file, & reading it entirely into memory.
4/4 Fin for today!
@David Ah, c'est pas n'importe quelle boisson bullée a base de fermentation? :D
(oui, c'est quasi ça, et pas qu'en France)
@tshirtman C'est pas bullé et c'est pas fermenté. 🤷♂️
C'est de l'eau chaude dans laquelle on met de la poudre (ou des filaments) de kombu (une algue, "kelp" en anglais, je ne sais pas si ça a un nom en français, en Bretagne je crois qu'ils en ont un)
