Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

Yep. Being autistic does not mean you are not trans or that somehow your autism must be eliminated before you can receive gender affirming care. Treating them as pathologies and causes to be excluded rather than part of the spectrum of human diversity means denying treatment.

frustrating GCC bug that has been a thorn in my side for the past month: void *trampoline = 0x1234; asm ("call *%1" : : "m" (trampoline)); fails to generate the desired code, while: asm ("call *%1" : : "r" (trampoline)); does generate the desired code. please, someone, make it make sense.

5 years ago I said that we needed to move away from centralized identifiers for vulnerability data in favor of linked data to ensure that vulnerability management processes remain healthy and scalable. Now the centralized identifiers the entire world depends on are possibly going away.

Lore updates for Edera's mascot Ivy the Axolotl? -Ivy is a tea drinker, but also loves Mexican style hot chocolate -They are left-handed -They use a chaotic neutral monitor set up with the main monitor for work, and the vertical one for YT videos and slack. What's your monitor alignment identity?
