The recent days have been horrific. We can't become numb to repeated instances of illegal and unconstitutional action by government agencies. It's even worse when public officials are blatantly lying in ways that contradict dozens of pieces of video evidence.
Sen. Lankford blatantly lies about what the video of Renee Good's killing shows: "A classic law enforcement moment -- they have to fire their weapon and then when you see her car crash, law enforcement is running to her to provide aid. They're never looking to be able to take a life of individuals."

One of the USBs in my computer stopped working after a power outage, if anyone has any advice on how to fix it I'd appreciate it.

Today I bought a pair of Ikea kajplats bulbs. They integrate automatically in Google Home Assistant by just scanning a QR code. Previous Ikea models required setting up a raspberry pi with a ZigBee USB dongle, so this is a very nice upgrade :).

After six years with my car, today I found out all Hondas include an air compressor to inflate the tires. I've been using public air compressors at gas stations all this time 😆. God damn I love Honda.

Being against unethical real estate speculators doesn’t mean architecture or houses are bad.

Likewise, AI, LLMs or genAI are fascinating and great. What we oppose is their exploitation by billionaires who steal and harm the planet just to add another yacht or private jet to their collection.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists.

GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters.

Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

I've personally had two rejected take offs as pilot. The first one because the airspeed indicator didn't indicate any airspeed 🥲 and the second one because my flight plan was rejected and didn't notice until I was ready to enter the runway (so I had to use the runway to go back to the parking area).

My cousin is currently studying in the university. He told me some of his classmates use AI to solve math problems and then ask the same AI to generate an image displaying the previously generated solution in a hand written format so the professors think they actually solved it.

Ugh.

Today I dressed up as Cyberwitch to participate in a conference talking about sandbox security with two great friends. It was very fun 😆.

As the PSF heads into our end-of-year fundraiser this month, we want to “connect the dots” and share a full picture of our current financial outlook: what’s happening, why, and how you can help sustain the future of Python and the PSF. 🧵
Connecting the Dots: Understanding the PSF’s Current Financial Outlook
As the PSF heads into our end-of-year fundraiser, we want to share information to help “connect the dots” and show a more complete picture of the PSF’s current financial outlook. You’ve heard from us on subjects related to our financial position from several different angles recently (a list of those posts is below). We’ve prioritized proactive communications, because we believe in transparency, we have trust in our community, and we value keeping you informed— we know how invested in and impacted by our work you are. We now want to pull those threads together in order to create some shared clarity on the big picture, and, hopefully, inspire you to action to support our fundraising efforts.

He said guards stomped on his hands, poured filthy water into his ears and threatened to beat him.
