Ah, the replacement mythos, blended with White Fascism and Christian Nationalist chaser. All badness all the way down.

It sounds like Twitter is hosting their services on several cloud platforms or replication services that weren't blocked by Brazil. So, users in Brazil just hit the 3rd party platforms and kept going like usual.

Is that Twitter's fault and/or on purpose? Don't know yet, but services like Akamai need to make sure their hosting Twitter doesn't get them banned in Brazil across the board.

International relations are often tough to build, especially when one side is quite rude and then wanting special benefits afterwards.

The UK cut the ties, so the EU has more say in how relations are rebuilt. The UK had a ton of special exemptions and their own national identity in the EU then many other members and the UK still freaked out about how oppressed they were.

The EU doesn't really owe the UK anything that's not in still existing agreements and if the UK wants a relationship they'll have to come to the table bringing something, not just hurling demands.

I'm just really glad that the UK leaving the EU didn't devolve into armed conflict. That's a pretty normal arc for such a big relations change.

Who would have guessed that she's corrupt? Strange that she's acting just like her right wing anti-Constitution bosses on the Supreme Court. I wonder how that kind of corruption trickles down.

The right has been trying to destroy schools since they were founded hundreds of years ago. Secular, public education is an anathema to the racist and religious indoctrination required to maintain right wing communities.

This is very much a two birds, one stone moment for their agenda.

This voting season has a very different feel from 2020. I've been trying to understand what's up.

Because there's not the same kind of public displays of right wing movements, I feel that it seems like a safer situation on a large scale. The tradeoff is that the right wing nutjobs don't have the same public visible groups to join and yell about life with. They're likely going to be much more likely to lash out through terroristic acts and to be more individually violent.

So, while there's not nearly the same quantity of truck convoys of deplorables driving around waving flags, that same energy is going to be distilled into a more potent sludge of evil under the surface.

Your perspective might be why I enjoy microcontroller work. I love getting to know everything about the system, reading hardware documentation, and getting the low level parts to work in a highly deterministic way.

I use ATTiny85 cores when a ESP32 costs almost the same, but the 85 only has 256 bytes of SRAM and five I/O pins so I can track it all and ensure it will do exactly what I want.

Christofascist timeline is a go.

The same meme with "wiring and lights" at the top. Then you descend to motors, transformers delta-y phases, RC and RL circuits, op amps, BJT circuits, reverse bias what?, differential equations, and eventually signals and systems.

The summary that I liked from the last post was "python is the second best language for everything". There's always something specialized and better for every given job. But, if you want one tool that'll do a solid job everywhere, python is your go to.

Plus the estimated million+ who smartly fled Russia in the first year of the war.

• Women get educated
• Women get their own money
• Women get control over reproductive rights and tools

So much of our world is based around women keeping it on the rails without receiving credit for their efforts.

If the government financial trams aren't already investigating it, then they're stupid. This is shooting fish in a barrel for financial crimes.

We're entering the 'blockchain for every need' stage. Expect massive money to flow into scams, poor ideas, and outright dangerous uses for a few years .

Before Blockchain we had 'the web' itself in the dot com era. Before that? I saw it in basic computing as a solution to everything.

I had a student came into office hours asking why their program got a bad grade. I looked and it didn't actually do anything related to the assignment.

Upon further query, they objected saying that the CI pipeline built it just fine.

So ..yeah... You can write a program that builds and runs, but doesn't do the required tasks, which makes it wrong. This was not a concept they'd figured out yet.

As per all too often, the functional programming world invented them. Haskell (and its ilk) usually has all the future cool stuff already. Then python picks it up, then it moves over to C#/Java, then C++ says "mee too"!

Und dann das nächste Feld für mehr Parkplätze!

I'm often impressed with Finland. The attitudes and decision making the nation expresses are often very grounded and data driven.

The trams in Helsinki were also phenomenal. I loved getting around town so easily.

Our family visited Germany this past summer. I really wanted to get the 49€ tickets, but the system to buy them is cumbersome and we weren't around that long.

Now, we did have a visit in summer 2002. We still have our 9€ tickets from that trip. It was a wonder to be able to get around so cheaply.

Yes, yes we are. And it's getting worse in many cultural groups.

With the wall style, it also feels like you're crammed between two stone blocks too.

The bathroom looks like it's 1 meter wide and no more.

You mean a proven serial con man light be lying to get people to give him things? News at 11.

They did that to my daughter. I'd setup a laptop for her. The windows boot partition was still there (my bad for scraping every last bit of Windows off - it was setup in haste) and she accidentally chose windows from grub one day. The Windows Bootloader decided to change boot options in the bios and then remove grub somehow, but there was no windows on disk to launch so it was bricked.

The next time I could out hands on the computer I scoured that disk clean of Microsoft's plague rats so they wouldn't get a finger in edgewise again.

Seattle, WA also still has a trolley bus network. They started taking it out, but fortunately a big chunk was saved and they're adding to it again.

woke Marxist liberal critical race theory.

Any more smooth brain buzzwords we can throw in there?

They're afraid to be called unfair after he said that they'd be unfair. It's one of the strategies that us uses to suppress fighting back against his lies and ineptitude.

First, your preemptively accuse someone of something. Second you do awful things that would normally rightfully get a response, but the authorities have to be careful otherwise you'll accuse them of doing the thing they should be doing. Third, you get your way even though you broke the rules, or you get to yell about how you knew, just knew! That you'd be treated badly.

Yet another map of the US with nearly the same distribution of different groups. The anti-American band of states from Florida to Idaho strikes again.

Es war heute hier 36 grad. Regen jetzt, bitte.

The first non-horse trolleys were electric in... 1910's?

I think they were trying to say all battery driven. The vast majority of electric trains use overhead wires, and I believe some have batteries for switching and if there's an outage. This gadgetbahn is wholly battery based, so I can only imagine how heavy it is just to move itself.

It's still true: that's a really weird person.

I still use wired headphones and earbuds. On the phone it's got a USBC connector, so I had to find a compact adapter. Fortunately USBC is a tough connector so they're holding up well enough.

The earbuds themselves are very cheap. They normally only last a few years (3-5 or so). I snagged a couple little zip up pods that hold earbuds from a job fair years ago. As long as I do a quick coil up, it's easy enough to pack them away and get them out without tangling. They also don't get hurt living in my satchel.

I've considered moving to something wireless, but I have enough battery driven devices to babysit already.

Incel shit.

He goes to this, but writes to get out of attending criminal case sessions? He does this mostly because he hates losing to women and he likes fucking up NYC traffic with his motorcade shit.

Every Olympics is a political catastrophe. I've now watched all too many of them. They're huge events and all it takes is some controversy or a fuck up by some middle manager and the whole world freaks out.

Overall, this one East that bad on France's, except probably the river pollution thing (which I hope pushes them to long term cleanup efforts). Most of the rest was all the USA (we're #1 in being assholes to people) being assholes. Our pearl clutching about religious insensitivity, transphobic right wing hatred, and generally bring dicks was well over the top. So, that's not on France, but the US and our own swimming in Christian nationalist right wing sewage that spilled over onto the rest of the Olympics.

My feeling was that President Obama kept compromising. It seemed that he was trying to get people moving together and he went too far into the appeasement side of things with the alt right racist arm. It was also the real power growth cycle for Fox News and early online podcast/streamers. They are fast on the backs of the racist counter swell... And we got the fallout over the last decade now.

Cool, but we also take Finland's law about tuition: it's illegal to charge it.

No private schools. It's done wonders for their society because the rich people invest in the same schools as everyone else.

I accidentally started a video way outside my usual feed. It was some right wing fascist starting to talk about replacement theory bullshit. I closed it fast, but it was like a starter gun for YT to race every kind of conspiracy theory, right wing, Nazi supporting, women hating, christofascist channel it could try out to me. I had to block channel after channel for weeks until it gave up.

I didn't know that Tom Flood was in my city. It's like he knows exactly how our city council behaves.

Every major US city should have a dense, high frequency grid of trams/subways within 3 miles of the city center. Then, a larger network of light rail/subways out another 3 miles for commuting and events traffic.

3-5 minute intervals is good enough, anything less frequent is meh. Over 15 is a joke.
