I just watched @adamconover.net's newest video about the current state of things, and despite how depressing it kind of was, it was also somewhat uplifting. There *is* hope. Things *can* get better. But, we have to be the force ourselves, because no one is coming to save us. youtu.be/By1Z1nk31iE

Let’s be clear: This is the end result of 30 years of conservative thought. Small government, free markets, blah blah, all of it ended with this: the indiscriminate firing of the scientists who predict the fucking weather. Their goal is to literally drag us back into the dark ages.

I suspect this is a HUGELY underestimated factor in radicalization. If you look at, say, QAnon boards, it’s not really folks looking for scapegoats for their dire material circumstances. It’s middle-class people with boring lives who want to imagine they’re in The Parallax View.

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

Never in my most pessimistic moments did I expect the response to modern biotechnology saving countless lives in a pandemic to be a powerful elite captured by a conspiracy theory and dismantling our defenses against the next one out of some misguided notion of revenge

OMG there are windows 95 themed Godot themes?? 😱 I LOVE this! Don't have anything in mind right now but I need to build something with these >< Check it out: https://github.com/violinbg/godot-desktop-themes?tab=readme-ov-file #gamedev #godot #indiedev

I'm burnt to a crisp. 😵

English-language report on this horrific tragedy: www.latintimes.com/11-year-old-...

Heartbreaking story. Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, age 11, took her own life after her bullies constantly threatened to call ICE to have her Hispanic parents deported. Her story is one of the many real human consequences of Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. youtu.be/vwMGdnM24Cw?...

You know, it seems that whenever anyone resigns from Linux kernel work in total frustration, and cites a few of the things that were the final straws, it's always the same person whose caustic manner is at the root -- and it isn't Linus. marcan.st/2025/02/resi...

My thoughts on the recent blowup with Rust programming language and the Linux Kernel: Simply put, I think Rust is a stand-in for the underlying issue, which is that there is a generation gap that is emerging among developers that needs to be worked out. tedium.co/2025/02/14/a... new @tedium.co

hey by the way a fake right wing consumer group named "Consumer's Research" is pushing the Supreme Court to kill an $8 billion program that brings affordable broadband to schools and poor people

It's almost impossible to describe the corruption of Elon Musk But we must.

Apple slices are a great thinking snack. 🍎🧠

For the first time traveling to Europe, I've qualified to have access to international #SkyTeam lounges when flying with #Delta. The #KLM Crown Lounge at #AMS is fantastic. It blows the pants off all the other lounges I've ever used.

Going to FOSDEM? Troy Dawson will be presenting in the Distros Devroom about CentOS and the amazing work in our SIGs. https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5616-centos-stream-and-the-power-of-sigs-kde-hyperscale-and-beyond/ #CentOS #FOSDEM #FOSDEMDistros

With how much power the NVIDIA RTX 5090 draws (~600W!), does this mean that PCs are going to eventually force North America to switch to 240V power? We're limited to ~1200W PSUs here...

TIL the Hindus got pretty close to the age of the Earth with "kalpa". 4.32 billion years isn't that far off from 4.54 billion years. Give or take a couple hundred million years. 🤪

2024 was a pivotal year for #BudgieDesktop, with our Budgie 10.9 release series and our focus on our move to Wayland. Time to dive into our State of the Budgie to recap our efforts in 2024 and the goals for 2025. buddiesofbudgie.org/blog/state-o... #OpenSource #Linux

I just rewatched #Lucifer again on @netflix.com, and I noticed something odd: episode 6x03 (titled "Yabba Dabba Do Me") has vibes of a Pokémon battle in the background music where Chloe fights the cartoony devil... thing. It's subtle but a neat catch. 😈

Being sick sucks. 🤒

"Why are you not supposed to publicly criticize fanfiction?" Because you're bitching about a free service that takes a mountain of effort, provided by someone who takes time out of their busy day to provide this service, because they didn’t do it exactly the way you wanted, WHERE THEY CAN HEAR YOU.

I've been watching a fair number of shows and movies for the holidays, and I've noticed something weird. It seems to be common to have the villain types to have English accents. I wonder why that's a thing?

Merry Christmas to all! 🎅🎄

I've noticed something odd about the new #Ranma1/2 series from @netflix.com: the background music is extremely similar to the #InuYasha music. I swear that at least a few of them are *straight* from InuYasha. It's uncanny. Though given that Rumiko Takahashi created both of them, it makes sense. 😂
