Oh no, the app store is offering me the GUI version of EMACS. I have fallen beyond the sight of God.

We all seem to be reflecting on the past quite a bit lately. I wrote and then discarded another one of those "and this is why those older people were right, but I was young and stupid" threads earlier.

It really is amazing. I check in every decade or so and the progress is incredible. Still just that one little niggle that accessing files on a network doesn't really work. Still, it's pretty, right?

instead of further enriching our corporate overlords this holiday season, why not put some cheer in the stocking of a trans woman trying to survive domestic violence without becoming homeless yet again?

Remarkable to think the only lasting effect of the Snowden leaks has ended up being a Western wave of transphobia.

Kicked off today with "Prism" by Dave Holland while I showered and the new Donny McCaslin while I got ready. Now "Empire" by Queensryche and then Ruination by Virgil Donati (I have deadlines).

Did a little speculative install of Ubuntu Studio last night - hadn't used Linux in maybe ten years (I have specialised hardware that has historically been a pain).
It found and configged my multichannel interfaces out of the box and in general seems slicker than Win 11 in many places.

Retrospectively I can see that *Warhammer* and *Warhammer 40k* were both early expressions of a homegrown form of religiocentrism that was beginning to shape and color Norwegian life...

There was a story this week about an innocent woman released after 43 years because Missouri does not allow pleas of innocence unless the person is on Death Row and their sentence is uncommuted (the actual killer was, of course, a cop).
Labour Party taking that as a bare minimum deliverable, I see.

Sorry, what now? Personally I tend to think this government suggesting scrapping the right to appeal is potentially an even bigger issue with Lammy's reported proposals than the idiotic idea of getting rid of juries. This would be dangerous territory. #r4today

There should be a HK android whose only job is to scan each day's World's Richest rankings for its target
Constantly making "who is the richest boy" a headline every time the stock market shuffles the deck of richest boys is one of the reasons these megalomaniacs focus so much energy on accumulating wealth. It's a game, and they want to get the highest score and win.
The Google parent’s stock has accelerated over the last week and is now valued more than Microsoft.

Breaking: UK Editor for ITN News is just a smol bean
It’s a sign of how insane the news cycle is these days that this historic failure of government policy got just one day of news coverage this week.
Not saying that’s right or wrong, but it’s astonishing how quickly the agenda moves on these days.

BREAKING: UK’s response to Covid was “too little too late”. Acting faster could have saved 23,000 lives in England according to the public inquiry.
Boris Johnson presided over a “toxic, sexist, chaotic culture” in No10, where rule-breaking seriously undermined public confidence.

Eliot Abrams has been either doing war crimes himself or supporting them since the 1980s. Evil people like him can just keep doing vile awful things for decades and get away with it. What a vile country and a vile world where such things are possible.
