SURPRISE HORSEY

If you can do this to 7 year olds there is literally nothing you won't do. You're so far beyond normal human decency that there should be no place for you in society for the rest of your life.

Bari Weiss didn’t want you to see this

I wish I had a comprehensive list, but like, the loader uses BIOS/UEFI calls to access USB storage so we're not even at the point where freebsd's USB quirks in the usb driver/stack/storage would apply.

It's crazy stuff like vendor type, sizes, whether someone's added security features, etc

its weird how it costs more to carry it every year too!

how you know you're in the right place

your nerd discord has a specific channel for #trains

SMDH.

The baseline price here is 225 kWh for 30 days, 38c per kWh, then 47.4c per kWh after that.

I did 1,721 kWh over the last 30 days. I don't leave the test/dev servers on 24/7 for cost reasons. It's just crazy prices.

AND I'm using LESS electricity than last year, but its costing me MORE.

remember how PCs would happily chew 100w or more when on back in the day?

My PG&E bill for Jan is $1000. $800 to carriage, $200 to generation.

That's ~ $50 per 100w on 24/7 per month. ~ $34 in PG&E carriage, ~ $14 in generation.

Fucking hell PG&E. Just .. fucking hell.

oh that does look neat!

bsky notifications saying 30+

oh shit what did i do now

oh shit seen

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

A mountainscape photo "What radicalized you?" Idk, im just not a piece of shit

good morning bluesky friends ❤️

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

usb3 has also introduced a variety of weird shit storage behaviours too. :/

ooo is there a public AIM server again? not run by MAGA thumpers?

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels, each showing a different scene. In addition, there’s a small “kicker” panel under the fourth panel. PANEL 1 The panel shows a counter at a fast food restaurant. We can see a couple of customers, and a couple of workers. The workers are wearing hats that very vaguely resemble hamburger buns. A sign on the wall shows a smiling hamburger with eyes, below the caption “Soilent Green YUM.” A smaller sign says “SAFETY” in larger letters followed by tiny print, which says “is a word we use a lot so you can’t sue us.” The worker at the cash register is turning to speak directly to the reader. WORKER: To get an official photo I.D., I have to go to the nearest government office, which is 90 miles away, and I don’t have a car, and even if I did my boss won’t give me a weekday off. PANEL 2 We’re in what looks like someone’s back yard. In the foreground is a garden, with some sort of plant being grown in tidy rows. An elderly woman is kneeling on the ground in front of the garden, wearing a floppy straw hat, an apron with a floral patter, and holding a trowel. She speaks directly to the reader. WOMAN: I can’t get I.D. without a birth certificate. But when I was born home births didn’t get birth certificates. PANEL 3 A mover wearing jeans and a black tank top is carrying a sofa as he’s talking to the reader. MOVER: The state charges $60 for a driver’s license…. but first I’d need a copy of my birth certificate, which is $30. I can’t afford 90 dollars to vote! PANEL 4 This panel shows the interior of a coffee shop. A man and a woman sit together at a table. They're both looking at their devices, him annoyed, her dismissive. MAN: Why wouldn’t anyone be able to get an I.D.? Idiots! WOMAN: People like that don’t deserve to vote. SMALL KICKER PANEL UNDER THE BOTTOM OF THE CARTOON The man from panel 4 yelling at Barry MAN: If it’s easy for me it must be easy for everybody! That’s just science!

A story from my past - when I "took down a data centre" by plugging in a Dell:

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text.

Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

Again, the fact they're doing this should echo in your head that they DO have the money for childcare, education, housing and feeding everyone. they choose not to and instead choose to do this.

The USA has the resources. It always has.

We literally covered this shit in undergraduate psychology.

Like, tech bros (and all others), if you're listening to me, i'm telling you, studying arts/humanities will help you here. This is unacceptable and also a KNOWN SIDE EFFECT of this kind of policy and why NOONE SHOULD BE DOING IT. EVER.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

I talked about this in a video.

Wearing a 'Fuck Nazis' hat out in your community is performative. And that is good. Performing as a person who cares about your community is good. It's like last year when people were complaining about virtue signaling. Signaling my virtues is good!

oops

i had to zoom in just the right amount
