MICKEY 17. It's a social satire,a political allegory, and it's like if Terry Gilliam made a movie conceived by William Burroughs. The idiotic villain is basically how Korean folks (via the great Korean director Bong Joon Ho) see Trump. They're not wrong. Ignore the critics on this. Great stuff.

I really like @steveklabnik.com 's jj tutorial. I wish there was some kind of annotation or something that put a number next to each command you would need to execute to keep your tree in sync with the tutorial. I keep missing things in the blobs of text and having to go back.

For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I've paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

I can't share any more information at this time, so please don't ask for more details. Thank you.

periodic reminder that

"we have so much old code, surely adding more analyzers to catch bugs in old code is much higher impact than piecemeal writing new code in a memory-safe language"

All I keep thinking is the lengths these guys will go through arguing and explaining to the RFL people what their problem is with Linus, as opposed to dealing with Linus.

I have work to do but I'm distracted by watching US scientific progress & leadership being irreversibly undermined because a few unelected malcontents are penalizing researchers for following legal requirements set out by congressional orders to augment basic research with benefits to society.

At @oxide.computer, we love terminal UIs--sure, for the retro appeal, but more for their simplicity and universality on systems we build and debug. Last night, @orhun.dev joined @bcantrill.bsky.social and me to talk about ratatui, the Rust framework for building incredible TUIs. youtu.be/VbLz79trgz8

DOGE Staffer Resigns Over Racist Posts A staffer for Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency whose access to U.S. Treasury payment systems was approved by a federal judge on Thursday has links to a deleted social-media account that...

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a β€œeugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, β€œYou could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

when they write books about this there'll be ten thousand pages spent on "nobody could have foreseen that the apartheid guy whose factories produce shitty cars & vile racism, who turned a world-leading social network into the Nazi hotboxing echo chamber, had bad intentions"

A guy with his mind fried by ketamine and a 24/7/365 diet of Nazi shitposts is inside the federal government’s general payments system canceling whatever he personally decides looks like fraud while taking legal advice from his own busted AI chatbot, that’s the status report?

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

Download CDC Guidelines Removed By The Trump Admin The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Donald Trump will be indoors for the inauguration with his billionaire pals. His core supporters will be left outside in the cold.
