The birth of a star as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope

Linux peeps, in case you missed it.... Enterprise Linux 9.5 is released and each of your favorite RHEL compatible Linux distro options are ready with your updates. 🧑‍💻 #Enterprise #Linux #ICYMI www.oracle.com/news/announc...

Would you have believed me if I had told you on January 6, 2021 that this guy would be the nominee for United States Secretary of Defense?

A Trump-appointed judge just struck down a Biden rule expanding overtime pay to 4 million working people. It's really surprising how little media coverage this has received. Trump faced no real questions about this issue during the campaign. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1886...

A different kind of #BlueScreen “But we just got these trains!” #EMU #Caltrain 140

Without BASIC, you don't have thousands of invested hobbyists in the 70s, who go on to teach millions of young programmers in the 80s. Without DTSS's ability to manage hundreds of simultaneous users, you don't have UNIX. And without Thomas Kurtz, we wouldn't have either. RIP, Professor Kurtz.

The Onion has a chance to do the funniest thing ever

If you’re pro-democracy, I want to follow you. Let’s build our 💙 network here and keep our voices strong. Like, repost, and follow those that follow you. #NoDemUnder1k

Trump's demand that the Senate permit him to use recess appointments to put his nominees in place is about more than just getting those nominees on board. joycevance.substack.com/p/what-letti...

We love links because we love the open web

It's always nice when one can leave a tab open for days and it doesn't crash the tab, browser or bring your system to a screeching halt. Thanks @bsky.app team! #Thanks #BskyTeam

Fox News: "The Onion has 4.3 trillion daily readers."

We released a free, programmable, and open Relay server for the new OpenAI Realtime API so you no longer send your credentials from the web client. It runs for 🆓 on @cloudflare.social Workers! I made a little video on how you can go kick the tires youtu.be/xu4Wb-IppmM

“‘An American president has corrupted democracy itself and the rule of law in America. …And he got away with it on Nov. 5, 2024.’ “Luttig called the outcome ‘terrible for the country.’ “‘But sometimes people have to learn the hard way. … And that’s what’s happening.’” thehill.com/homenews/498...

🔥🔥 Veteran Sen. Tammy Duckworth DROPS THE MIC on Pete Hegseth saying women shouldn't serve in combat roles: "I would ask him: Where do you think I lost my legs? In a bar fight? I'm pretty sure I was in combat when that happened."

Having used #VMware #Fusion for many years, this is welcomed news. As the @theregister.com mentions, it's not #OpenSource and my stance on #VMware for the past 10 years is #ESXi should be #OpenSource. If folks are already using #VirtualBox (which is fantastic), doubt they will care about this. 🧵

Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.

This is the kind of news I really needed today. Holy cow. 🍿🍿🍿 www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

It's official! OpenSauced is joining the Linux Foundation and I'm coming onboard as VP of Infrastructure and AI engineering! We'll be integrating with the LFX platform - I'm excited to help pave the future of infra, data, and AI for LFX! Full post: opensauced.pizza/blog/opensau...

when someone says, macos based upon Linux ...

I’ll join @AnaCabrera at 10 am ET on @MSNBC to discuss Trump’s nomination of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General of the United States. This is an immensely important job that requires a person of integrity, not an attack dog.

There's a plan. Trump announces Gaetz as AG. Gaetz resigns from the House. Gaetz hopes this prevents the release of a "highly damaging" ethics report. But...if the report doesn't come out, senators should request it for his confirmation hearing.

Did you hear the one about the congressman from Florida who resigned immediately before an investigation completes around #ethics in the same day he was nominated to be the highest prosecutor in the land? Yeah, just another day in this bizarro world, post #Election2024 #MattGaetz #OrangeTURD™ club

Very courageous stuff here from Lindsey Graham and other top senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding the Matt Gaetz AG nomination 🙄

A guy with a criminal record who was also investigated for sex trafficking and is now facing an ethics investigation running the DOJ and a gal who promoted Russian propaganda and defended Putin’s stance on Ukraine overseeing the entire US intelligence community. It’s a bad and dangerous joke.

Oh well I guess it can’t get any weirder than the Tulsi Gabbard nomin— OH COME THE FUCK ON.

I'm sorry, that req has been closed. We will now need 12 years of openshift 4 experience. Need to stay up to date!

Funny, in a dark way, that the new head of DNI is herself a major counterintelligence risk

Thx for the heads up @erictopol.bsky.social Really 🙏 to see this attention to #LongCOVID. The cover art suggests to me not only the burden shouldered by patients/those who care for them but the weighty challenges posed to our medical/scientific communities as well. May the momentum be sustained…

The richest man in the world stood on stage and told working class Americans that him and the most corrupt politician in American history had their best interests in mind. Expert trolling. Did his voters not watch cartoons as a kid? Do they not know what a villain is?

AI's power trip will leave energy grids begging for mercy by 2027
