Winona Minnesota's police department caved and won't be reinstalling their 8 Flock cameras after they were all mysteriously cut down.
Note that Flock would have replaced the cameras for free, so this is a pretty good "you can't even give it away" burn. 😂 😂 😂
The population of Winona is 26k.
In their surrender statement, WPD says they are prioritizing community trust.
Shell has lost its legal battle for oil exploration on South Africa’s Wild Coast. That’s a win for marine life, people power and renewable energy.

Sometimes giving people hard deadlines actually works. At the very least it's worth trying. Build some secret flex in just in case.
Even their liberals are not materially different than machine politicians from say Massachusetts. American wars, conquests and blatant exercises of so called "soft power" have always been cloaked in some form of racism or "white man's burden" logic. We are fighting "them" because they are "backwards and primative" and no matter what we do to them it's "justified" because "they" would do worse to us and hate our freedom.
None of that flies when applied to Canada. I don't know how you sell this.
Manufacturing consent for war isn't just about convincing EVERYONE they want to fight a war. Part of it is marginalizing the dissenting opinion so hard, that people who otherwise might have qualms about your warmongering, are too worried about the social consequences of speaking out in FAVOR of the demonized "enemy" and if you do it well enough this creates a void that acts to prevent the uninformed from ever even asking the question "should we be fighting this war?"
How it do with Canada?
#WritersCoffeeClub 26 Aug: What are good examples of texts written from a non-human point of view?
"Excession" by Iain M. Banks tries to tackle a vastly superintelligent AI as the viewpoint character, as do some of the other Culture novels. And a whole lot of C. J. Cherryh's work goes there—consider "The Pride of Chanur" as an easy way in.
(And my own "Saturn's Children" and "Neptune's Brood" are told by post-human protagonists, long after humanity is extinct.)

If your Zig code has a for loop in a deinit method, you're using computers wrong.
If your C++ destructor is doing O(N) work thanks to RAII, you are using C++ correctly, but you are still using computers wrong.
@andrewrk I don't get it: an array of file handles, or VkImage has to ne freed sequentially. If the API has array version of these it's nice to use them, but sometimes they just don't exists.

Cyberleek vient de publier plus de quatre minutes consacrées au prologue de Lucia, avec une phase jouable dans la prison de Leonida.
Son machin "commun accord", à part casser Ulule et permettre de loger les 150 français tirés au sort au Crillon, et lui assurer un rond de serviette permanent dans les médias, ça ne va servir à rien.
Sans compter que le nom est génial.
Commun accord.
La seule expression me venant étant "on s'est séparés d'un commun accord".
Plus de 50% du financement va à l'organisation du truc…
Quel hold-up.
Quelle farce.
Quel spectacle.
Il y a vraiment des gens qui font carrière d'être les sangsues de nos démocraties dysfonctionnelles.

Our thoughts are with the families in Nepal and Tibet, where so many people are being hit by flash floods.
The floods are attributed to a large chunk of ice snapping off a glacier in the Himalayas, adding to rising concerns over the impacts of climate change due to indications of floods, landslides, avalanches, and droughts increasing in frequency and ferocity across the region.
QAnon may have stopped posting in 2022, but the conspiracy theory's language and ideas have infiltrated official U.S. government accounts, from the White House to the Pentagon, during Trump's second term.

Ubisoft officialise Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake à la Gamescom 2026. Le classique de la stratégie revient en 2027 avec graphismes 4K, monde 3D, deux extensions et du multijoueur jusqu’à huit.
Die Deutsche Bahn hat laut offiziellem Katalog 65 Gründe für Zugverspätungen („Reparatur an einem Signal” etc.). Mir waren die alle zu konkret. Deshalb gibt es jetzt das „Bahnhoroskop”: Man trägt seine Verspätung ein und bekommt eine Begründung, die aus der echten Sternkonstellation zur Abfahrtszeit berechnet wird.
OMG this is so awesome. i have never had the time to build an SSB rig from scratch.. I need to get on this soonish..

@danirabbit What's the gut feeling on immutability? I had some peace of mind giving these to friends and family.
@cpy we’re making good progress on builds that use mkosi and systemd sysupdate! The goal is to ship it for OS 9 this winter 🤞
