Just_One_Round_of_Layoffs⠀✐

Summary: Sirius_‘Open_Source’ became a lot more aggressive against staff when
it signed a secret deal with the Gates Foundation, almost at exactly the same
time Techrights_exposed_Gates_connections_to_Jeffrey_Epstein and worked on
releasing a Seattle_Police_report_on_arrest_for_pedophilia (the arrest was made
at the estate of Bill Gates)

With the company decimated, will cops_have_anything_left_to_salvage?
🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Mr._Kink_has_left_Sirius⦈_
Summary: The above shows that Sirius_‘Open_Source’ has lost the person who was
most authorised to access and manage systems, not only clients’ but systems of
Sirius itself; this means the company has about 3 full-time staff left (when I
left in December it_pretended_to_have_15_staff)

“Launches_Crackdown_on_Fraud”,_So_Now_Prove_It

Summary: As we’ve expected right from the start, reporting crime (pension
fraud) to Action Fraud (UK police) results in little action, no action, or very
slow action (they say they aim to respond within 28 days); today we revisit the
situation
ABOUT three weeks ago we formalised complaints to Action Fraud, which is like a
division of British Police. The pension_crime (embezzlement) of Sirius_‘Open
Source’ was reported. The evidence was very clear. There are many victims and
there are several more fallbacks here, in case the police drags its heels.
We’ll spare details about those fallbacks, for strategic reasons. Either way,
it is important to show how police in the land of famous monarchs actually
deals with white-collar crimes that has many victims.
“This is a matter for British authorities, including British police, to
investigate.”When you say something is illegal but fail to actually uphold and
enforce the law, then it’s just a token or a “formality” (as this_new_article
serves_to_illustrate). It’s a carte blanche to commit that crime and it rewards
those who commit serious crimes against other people, objectively speaking.
Sirius has been trying to pretend to be a US company in recent years, likely
for legal reasons (including the “Limited” in the UK). But no matter if it dubs
itself SiriUS, SiriHK, SiriA or whatever… the chief is British, the loans are
British, and almost all the staff is British. All those involved in the pension
fraud — without exception — are British. This is a matter for British
authorities, including British police, to investigate.
“In the next few parts we shall shed light on what various involved/impacted
parties have to say about this, including legal facets of this conundrum. This
is likely to carry on for several months more and perhaps even years if the
Ombudsman gets involved.”Remember that we as British taxpayers are entitled to
get a good service from British cops as we pay their salaries, they basically
work “for us” (or at least they’re supposed to, they’re expected to “serve and
protect” the taxpayers). We are still waiting for as little as an E-mail from
British police, but so far not even a call or a letter acknowledging they’re on
the case or have made some progress. The sad thing is that we’re so cynical
that this is what we expected and even_told_them.
In the next few parts we shall shed light on what various involved/impacted
parties have to say about this, including legal facets of this conundrum. This
is likely to carry on for several months more and perhaps even years if the
Ombudsman gets involved. Inaction from cops and HMRC is a stain on the system
as it emboldens the perception that those in power (like ‘Prince’ Andrew) are
above the law and the rest of us are defenceless, rendered vulnerable for
exploitation.

# ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Blog:_Kubernetes_1.27:_In-place_Resource
Resize_for_Kubernetes_Pods_(alpha)⠀⇛
If you have deployed Kubernetes pods with CPU and/
or memory resources specified, you may have noticed
that changing the resource values involves
restarting the pod. This has been a disruptive
operation for running workloads… until now.
In Kubernetes v1.27, we have added a new alpha
feature that allows users to resize CPU/memory
resources allocated to pods without restarting the
containers. To facilitate this, the resources field
in a pod’s containers now allow mutation for cpu
and memory resources. They can be changed simply by
patching the running pod spec.
This also means that resources field in the pod
spec can no longer be relied upon as an indicator
of the pod’s actual resources. Monitoring tools and
other such applications must now look at new fields
in the pod’s status. Kubernetes queries the actual
CPU and memory requests and limits enforced on the
running containers via a CRI (Container Runtime
Interface) API call to the runtime, such as
containerd, which is responsible for running the
containers. The response from container runtime is
reflected in the pod’s status.
In addition, a new restartPolicy for resize has
been added. It gives users control over how their
containers are handled when resources are resized.
§ What’s new in v1.27?
Besides the addition of resize policy in the pod’s
spec, a new field named
allocatedResources has been added to
containerStatuses in the pod’s status. This field
reflects the node resources allocated to the pod’s
containers.
In addition, a new field called resources has been
added to the container’s status. This field
reflects the actual resource requests and limits
configured on the running containers as reported by
the container runtime.

§ Me and my bizarre open-source journey
Weirdly enough, I first discovered Linux five years
ago on a failed attempt to do Hackintosh. I got
bored with Windows that I decided to try something
new and different, and that’s when I eventually
stumbled upon Linux, specifically Elementary OS. It
did not last for me since I still depend a lot on
applications that are only available with Windows.
Fast-forward two years later, I decided to give
Linux another try with KDE Neon and migrate my
workflows to open-source applications such as
LibreOffice, Inkscape, and Kdenlive. I remember
feeling adventurous and breaking my system numerous
times, though I considered it as part of the
learning process. I was intrigued by the idea of
being a part of a community of passionate
developers and enthusiastic users. I also liked the
customization it had. However, as I grew with it, I
started to realize that I had spent way too much
time configuring things and forgetting to focus on
what was really important, and that is when I
discovered GNOME.
# § Python⠀➾
# ⚓ Nikhil Marathe ☛ Python_Gotcha:_Idiomatic_file
iteration_has_bad_performance⠀⇛
Here is a performance footgun I encountered
at work in a more complicated form.
Python allows iterating over a file object.
However, this iteration is defined as
yielding lines, regardless of if the file is
a text or binary file. In fact IOBase
specifically says:
IOBase (and its subclasses) supports the
iterator protocol, meaning that an IOBase
object can be iterated over yielding the
lines in a stream. Lines are defined slightly
differently depending on whether the stream
is a binary stream (yielding bytes), or a
text stream (yielding character strings).
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Seaborn_Cluster_Map⠀⇛
The “sb.clustermap()” function is used for
plotting statistical visuals based on the
matplotlib software that is connected with
“pandas” data structures.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Seaborn_Rotate_Axis_Labels⠀⇛
The “ticklabels()” method can be used in
Python to rotate the seaborn plot axis labels
position. The seaborn provides a lot of
figure customization.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Python_Requests_Delete_Method⠀⇛
The “request.delete()” method is used to
delete records or resource files that take
some arguments and values that are used to
communicate with the server.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ SciPy_Optimize_Curve_fit⠀⇛
To obtain the optimized parameter for a
provided function that fits the specified
dataset, the “curve_fit()” function can be
used.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Cumulative_Product_Pandas⠀⇛
In Python, the “cumprod()” method is used to
calculate the cumulative product that
contains current values and all the previous
values in the form of an array.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Matplotlib_Log_Scale⠀⇛
Matplotlib supports logarithmic scaling on
both the x-axis and y-axis, making it easy to
visualize large and small data values.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Matplotlib_Grid⠀⇛
To create and customize grid lines, the
“plt.grid()” function of the “Matplotlib”
library is used along with various attributes
in Python.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ List_Index_Out_of_the_Range_Python⠀⇛
The “list index out of range” is a common
error in Python that occurs when trying to
access an index that is outside the range of
a list.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Isupper()_Method_in_Python⠀⇛
The built-in method “isupper()” can be used
to check if all the characters in a string
are in uppercase or lowercase or others.
# ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Use_Matplotlib_Trend_Line⠀⇛
In Python, the “Matplotlib” library functions
like “plt.polyfit()”, “poly1d()” and

Migrants are rushing across the Mexico border in
hopes of entering the U.S. in the final hours
before pandemic-related asylum restrictions are
lifted at midnight. Many migrants fear that the
change could make it more difficult for them to
stay. Late Thursday, however, the Biden
administration was dealt a potentially serious
legal setback when a federal judge temporarily
blocked its attempt to more quickly release
migrants when Border Patrol holding stations are
full. With the late-night deadline looming,
misinformation and confusion buffeted migrants as
they paced the border at the Rio Grande, often
unsure of where to go or what to do next.

determine whether a particular reference is relevant for
the purposes of an obviousness analysis. Under this two
prong test, a reference is relevant if it is from the
same field of endeavor as the invention at issue, or if
it is reasonably pertinent to the problem the invention
is trying to solve. In re Bigio, 381 F.3d 1320, 1325

Partial_Presentation⠀⇛
DXVK 2.2 is here three and a half months after DXVK
2.1, which introduced HDR support and Shader
compilation improvements, to add support for
D3D11On12. This new feature enables the creation of
D3D11 devices from D3D12 devices to allow D3D12
support in recent Unity Engine games, such as Lego
Builder’s Journey.
Another new feature introduced in DXVK 2.2 is
called “D3D9 partial presentation”. This feature
enables DXVK to present parts of a window by
copying the contents of the back buffer to system
memory and then drawing them into the window on the
CPU.

Powered by Linux kernel 6.2 for the 64-bit edition,
which is patched and packed by System76, and Linux
kernel 4.19 LTS for the 32-bit edition, the
Escuelas Linux 8.2 release is here with the most
recent version of the Bodhi Linux-developed desktop
environment to date, Moksha 0.4.0-7, offering a
highly polished and beautiful environment for

o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾
# ⚓ Hari Rana ☛ Overview_of_Flatpak’s_Permission_Models⠀⇛
Flatpak’s permissions can be confusing. Some are
technical and need knowledge on how they work, and
others are self-explanatory. Some are added before
the app starts, known as static permissions, and
some are requested when the user runs the app,
known as dynamic permissions. Many may also
criticize Flatpak for lacking Android-style
permissions while being unaware of the existence of
XDG Desktop Portals.

# ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Matter_on_Ubuntu:_getting_started_with_the
standard_for_smart_home_devices⠀⇛
Canonical joined the Connectivity Standards
Alliance last year to lead the charge for Linux in
the smart home. The Matter standard is a particular
focus for us. Its secure design and open ecosystem
align well with Ubuntu’s own values of security and
openness.
Ubuntu Core and Matter make for a powerful pair.
Ubuntu Core’s containerisation makes it a highly
secure OS that pairs well with the highly secure
protocol. Its update and device management
capabilities provide the missing pieces that the
Matter standard leaves up to device makers to
implement.

Note that the specifications above are both for the
carrier board and the industrial computer, and some
of the interfaces such as MIPI DSI, MIPI CSI, and
the FPC (HDMI+USB) connector are not accessible
with the standard enclosure.
On the software side, EDATEC simply asked people to
use Raspberry Pi OS or Raspberry Pi OS Lite, and
from what I read on the user manual, which you can
download from the product page, you’ll mostly need
to install the BSP for hardware-specific code…

# ⚓ Arduino ☛ Emoband_strokes_and_squeezes_your_wrist⠀⇛
Modern consumer devices are fantastic at providing
visual and auditory stimulation, but they fail to
excite any of the other senses. At most, we get
some tactile sensation in the form of haptic
feedback.
# ⚓ Arduino ☛ Fingertip_force_control_aids_in_sports_and
musical_training⠀⇛
An Arduino Uno Rev3 board paired with a function
generator gives the system precise control over the
EMS unit, allowing it to adjust muscle stimulation
as necessary. It does so in real-time in response
to fingertip force estimated by a machine-learning
regression model. An expert in the activity could
use the system to train it on the proper amount of
force for an action, then the system could provide
the amount of stimulation necessary for a new
student to replicate the expert’s force. With
practice, the student would gain a feel for the
force and then could perform the activity on their
own without the aid of the system.
# ⚓ Andrew Hutchings ☛ Schneider_Euro_PC:_Restoration_Part_6⠀⇛
As mentioned in a previous post, I was a little
wary that I might have caused damage to the
parallel port IC when the tantalum capacitor
popped. My original plan was to buy a parallel port
sound card and try that, unfortunately shipping of
this is taking a really long time. So, this will be
for a follow-up video.
# ⚓ Purism ☛ Cybersecurity_Attacks_Launched_From_Operating
Systems_&_Apps_On_The_Rise⠀⇛
According to a new report from Secureworks,
endpoint attack vectors that include email, popular
operating systems, and apps are on the rise.
In response to attacks by way of Android apps,
Google has removed thousands of nefarious apps that
had the capability to launch malware enabling
developers to launch a wide array of attacks
including Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)
attacks, Man-in-the-Middle (MitM), and Ransomware
attacks.
It is a little-known fact that bad actors can
launch attacks on networks and critical
infrastructure by way of popular operating systems
that support surveillance and data mining
technologies.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has
released an update to all supported versions of
PostgreSQL, including 15.3, 14.8, 13.11, 12.15, and
11.20. This release fixes two security
vulnerabilities and over 80 bugs reported over the
last several months.

# ⚓ 37signals LLC ☛ It’s_not_just_cloud_costs_that_are_out_of
control⠀⇛
We’re letting our yearly commitment to Datadog, a
performance and monitoring tool, expire at the end
of this month. Not because we don’t like the
service. It’s actually really nice! But because the
$88,000/year it was going to cost us to continue is
just ridiculous. And it’s emblematic of a larger
issue: Enterprise SaaS pricing is getting silly.
# ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ Doctrine_–_difference_between_bindValue()
and_setParameter()_on_prepared_statements⠀⇛
This pissed me off and I couldn’t figure out what I
was doing wrong. So I’m blogging about my
ignorance.
Imagine you’re using Symfony and Doctrine to access
a database. You are using prepared statements to
prevent any SQL injection problems.
There are two main ways of doing this – and they
disagree about how positional variables should be
specified.
o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾
# ⚓ The Drone Girl ☛ Florida_delivery_drone_law_set_to_go_into

Not every drone-related law passed in Florida has
been welcome by the drone industry. And in fact,
many have not been welcome. But there’s one that
some drone delivery companies in particular are
lauding — and it’s set to go into effect on July 1.
Florida SB 1068 and its House companion, HB 1071,
dig into the issue of building drone ports. More
specifically, it is expected to make construction
of drone ports throughout Florida a lot easier.
o § Programming/Development⠀➾
# ⚓ Fernando Borretti ☛ Return_Reasons,_Not_Booleans⠀⇛
When you have a predicate that acts on a tree data
structure, rather than return a Boolean, you should
return an object that represents success/failure
and carries explanatory information in the failure
case.
# ⚓ Achim Zeileis ☛ Coloring_in_R’s_blind_spot⠀⇛
Prior to version 4.0.0 R had a poor default color
palette (using highly saturated red, green, blue,
etc.) and provided very few alternative palettes,
most of which also had poor perceptual properties
(like the infamous rainbow palette). Starting with
version 4.0.0 R gained a new and much improved
default palette and, in addition, a selection of
more than 100 well-established palettes are now
available via the functions palette.colors() and
hcl.colors(). The former provides a range of
popular qualitative palettes for categorical data
while the latter closely approximates many popular
sequential and diverging palettes by systematically
varying the perceptual hue, chroma, luminance (HCL)
properties in the palette. This paper provides an
overview of these new color functions and the
palettes they provide along with advice about which
palettes are appropriate for specific tasks,
especially with regard to making them accessible to
viewers with color vision deficiencies.
# ⚓ Adolfo Ochagavía ☛ You_are_holding_it_wrong⠀⇛
Here is the same program, now in Rust: [...]
After all this years using and contributing to
Rust, it still feels like a major breakthrough

real-world programming, yet it works!
# ⚓ Brad Taunt ☛ Working_with_git_Patches_in_Apple_Mail⠀⇛
I recently covered how to work with git email
patches in Evolution on Linux, so I thought it
would make sense to walk through a similar workflow
for those using Apple Mail on MacOS. The idea is
essentially the same, with just a little extra work
involved.
# ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ I’ve_mostly_stopped_reading
technical_mailing_lists⠀⇛
The primary change I’ve noticed of these mailing
lists is that they see a lot more questions that
are either basic or very specific, where if I had
the question I would have expected to answer it
myself by reading through the documentation. In the
beginning I had unkind descriptions of these sorts
of questions, but I’ve come to be more sympathetic
to them, especially the questions that come from
people abroad who may not have English as their
first language. The unfortunate fact is that
projects aren’t necessarily well documented and
their documentation probably is dauntingly hard to
read for people who aren’t fluent in technical
English, and people have work to get done (using
those projects). Turning to the project user
mailing list and asking their questions, if it
works, is probably much faster than the
alternatives (and their boss may be yelling at them
to get it done ASAP).
# ⚓ Earthly ☛ Implementing_OAuth_2.0_Flow_in_Non-Web_Clients⠀⇛
It’s easy and intuitive to implement OAuth 2.0 in
web applications. However, when setting up OAuth
2.0 for non-web clients this becomes difficult as
OAuth 2.0 requires redirect (callback) URLs.
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Linux_Fu:_C_On_Jupyter⠀⇛
If you are a Pythonista or a data scientist, you’ve
probably used Jupyter. If you haven’t, it is an
interesting way to work with Python by placing it
in a Markdown document in a web browser. Part
spreadsheet, part web page, part Python program,
you create notebooks that can contain data,
programs, graphics, and widgets. You can run it
locally and attach to it via a local port with a
browser or, of course, run it in the cloud if you
like. But you don’t have to use Python.
# ⚓ KDAB ☛ Value_Semantics⠀⇛
C++ is an old language. Many aspects of our

o ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Playful_Pop_of_100_gecs⠀⇛
Laura Les and Dylan Brady, the duo behind 100 gecs,
operate at the bleeding edge of something. Their music
feels like a breath of fresh air: at once wearing its
musical inspirations on its sleeve, while also working
toward something entirely organic and fresh. Call it what

o § Science⠀➾
# ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Jump_Like_Mario_With_This_Weighted_Wearable⠀⇛
Virtual reality has come a long way in the past
decade, with successful commercial offerings for
gaming platforms still going strong as well as a
number of semi-virtual, or augmented, reality tools
that are proving their worth outside of a gaming
environment as well. But with all this success they
still haven’t quite figured out methods of
locomotion that feel natural like walking or
running. One research group is leaping to solve one
of these issues with JumpMod: a wearable device
that enhances the sensation of jumping.
# ⚓ MIT Technology Review ☛ This_new_genome_map_tries_to

first time was in 2000, when Bill Clinton
announced the “first survey of the entire human

most important and most wondrous map ever produced

o ⚓ Jussi Pakkanen ☛ The_real_reason_why_open_source_software_is
better⠀⇛
The prevailing consensus at the current time seems to be
that open source software is of higher quality than
corresponding proprietary ones. Several reasons have been
put forth on why this is. One main reason given is that
with open source any programmer in the world can inspect
the code and contribute fixes. Closely tied to this is
the fact that it is plain not possible to hide massive
blunders in open source projects whereas behind closed
walls it is trivial.
All of these and more are valid reasons for improved
quality. But there are other, more sinister reasons that
are usually not spoken of. In order to understand one of
them, we need to first do a slight detour.

On a February morning in 2021, a water treatment
plant operator in Oldsmar, Fla., noticed something
unusual: An unidentified user had remotely accessed
the plant’s computer system and was moving the
mouse around the screen.
The operator watched as the intruder clicked into
various software programs before landing on a
function that controls the amount of sodium
hydroxide, or lye, in the plant’s water system. The
hacker then increased the amount of lye — a
potentially dangerous substance used to control
acidity — from 100 parts per million to 11,100
parts per million.
The plant operator reversed the change almost
immediately, and officials said there was never any
threat to public safety. But the incident has

The company sells police a cloud-based platform for
creating real-time crime centers and a streamlined
way for officers to interface with their various
surveillance streams, including predictive
policing, gunshot detection, license plate readers,
and drones. For the public, Fusus also sells
hardware that can be added to private cameras and
convert privately-owned video into instantly-
accessible parts of the police surveillance
network. In Atlanta, Memphis, Orlando, and dozens
of other locations, police officers have been
asking the public to buy into a Fusus-fueled
surveillance system, at times sounding like eager
pitchmen trying to convince people and businesses
to trade away privacy for a false sense of
security.
The model expands police access to personal
information collected by private cameras that would
otherwise require warrants and community
conversation. Because these cameras are privately
owned, police can enjoy their use without having to
create and follow records retention and deletion
policies.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been

uses of Fusus, which counts nearly 150
jurisdictions as customers. You can access these
records on DocumentCloud. EFF also shared these

Federal police officers are also to be allowed to
wiretap homes and take pictures in order to „danger

smuggling of migrants“ or „organised groups of

been allowed to deploy undercover officers and to
conduct informants,, and this is also to be
extended to danger prevention.
The use of „automatic image recording devices“,
which can be set up at borders, for example, has
been given its own provision. The wearing of body
cams and the video surveillance of detention rooms
will also be regulated by law. As before, the
Federal Police will be allowed to set up number
plate recognition devices, provided that this is
done „temporarily and not on a nationwide basis“.
What is new is the rampant use of drones, which are
referred to in the bill as „mobile sensor carriers“
and can record images and sound at all public
events or gatherings as well as at railway
stations. In addition, the Federal Police will also
be given resources to counter unwanted drones.

One year ago, on May 11, 2022, an Israeli soldier fatally
shot the Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu
Akleh in the head as she was reporting on an Israeli
military raid just outside the Jenin refugee camp in the
occupied West Bank. She was shot while wearing a blue
helmet and blue flak jacket clearly emblazoned with the
word “press.” Abu Akleh was one of the most prominent TV
journalists in the Arab world and had worked for Al
Jazeera for a quarter of a century. She was also a U.S.
citizen. But a year after her death, no one has been held
accountable despite detailed testimony from eyewitnesses
to the shooting. We air excerpts from the Al Jazeera
investigation The Killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, which
just won a George Polk Award, and speak with
correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous. “There’s still no
justice in her case, no accountability whatsoever,” says
Abdel Kouddous. He adds that while the White House has
been very vocal about the case of Wall Street Journal
reporter Evan Gershkovich, who is detained in Russia, the
response to Abu Akleh’s killing has been muted. “Shireen
was an American citizen, and her family deserves the same
calls for justice, the same push for accountability from
the White House.”

one of the company’s most successful franchises by
following HomeVestors’ strategy of finding homeowners in
desperate situations, then convincing them to sell
quickly.
The homeowner, Corrine Casanova, had bought the three-

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is on strike again.
Given how much writers contribute to the entire
entertainment ecosystem—every satisfying cinematic moment
begins its life on the written page—the WGA is asking
studios to grant professional writers a reasonable slice
of Hollywood’s huge profit pie: a higher minimum wage
across all media, higher contributions to benefits, more
residuals for streaming. Basically, the same story as
writers’ strikes from years past. And, let’s face it: the
studios can afford it. Nearly all the WGA’s requests seem
sensible, and worth striking over. As such, the overall
strike seems righteous.
o ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Hollywood_Writers_Are_Striking_to_Save_the_Industry

Hollywood writers represented by the Writers Guild of
America, East, and the Writers Guild of America, West,
are on strike for the first time since 2007-08. As Alex
Press writes in Jacobin, “The WGA (West and East) called
the strike just before midnight on May 1, with its
leadership unanimously voting for a work stoppage after
six weeks of negotiations with the Alliance of Motion
Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) over a new
three-year contract that covers some 11,500 film and
television writers. Announcing its decision, the union
said that the bargaining table responses of the AMPTP,
which consists of Amazon, Apple, Discovery-Warner,
Disney, NBC Universal, Netflix, Paramount, and Sony, had
‘been wholly insufficient given the existential crisis
writers are facing.’” Even though overall production
budgets have risen in the past decade, writer pay has
declined, and the rise of streaming services has
translated to lower residuals for writers, shorter paid
work periods and more precarious employment, etc., with
studios even threatening to replace more essential
creative labor with AI software.

Yes and yes! It could maybe be explained by

(1) implies each producer/seller must produce
a ton to make some money, because producing
less than there is demand for would mean
profit “loss” — obviously! Because there’s so
much stuff available, and because most people
still have enough money to survive AND to
spend on non-essential things, why spend a
little more to get this small luxury/comfort?
And after you buy it you won’t let it spoil,
right? That would be a waste, right? And by

COSMIC Panels are desktop features similar to the

as GNOME extensions to customize an experience,
except they’re separate individual applications
running in their own process. In COSMIC, applets
replace GNOME extensions. COSMIC currently includes
essential default applets for things like
notifications, workspaces, applications, battery,
wifi, bluetooth, and media controls. In the future,
applets can be added for a clipboard, notes,

✐ The First Step to Fixing the Electoral College⠀✐
Should someone else’s vote count more than yours?
For 80%_of_Americans, that’s exactly what’s
happening. Their vote for president isn’t nearly as
valuable as the vote of someone in a so-called
“swing state.” Why?
Most of us live in states that have become so
predictably Democratic or Republican that we’re
taken for granted by candidates. Presidential
elections now turn on the dwindling number of swing
states that could go either way, which gives voters
in those stateshuge_leverage.
The 2020 election came down to just over 40,000
votes spread across just three swing states.
2016 came down to fewer than 80,000 votes also
across three states.
In those elections, the national popular vote
wasn’t that close. In fact, in the last five
elections, the winners of the popular vote beat
their opponents by an average of 5 million votes.
The current state-by-state, electoral college
system of electing presidents is creating ever-
closer contests in an ever-smaller number of
closely divided states for elections that aren’t
really that close.
Not only that, but these razor-thin swing state
margins can invite post-election recounts, audits,
and lawsuits — even attempted coups. A losing
candidate might be able to overturn 40,000 votes
with these techniques. Overturning 5 million votes
would be nearly impossible.
The current system presents a growing threat to the
peaceful transition of power.

# ⚓ In_the_eyes_of_modernization_theorists…⠀⇛
In the eyes of modernization theorists, the past
tends to harden into the form of an ‘almost
automatic reaction,’ a one-off break will not
suffice: what is needed is a continual breaking
from it. In such acts of break or rupture, cultural
goods must be permanently filtered out of the
present, discarded, and declared irrelevant. This
repeated dropping of ballast takes place through a
performative “relegation to the past” of that
which, up to that point, had continued to exert a
claim on the present and so was still considered
relevant. A particularly striking rhetorical
strategy used to produce such hiatus-experiences
within the continuum of time is the repeated
declaration of the “death” of every possible
cultural institution or value.
# ⚓ Mountains⠀⇛
So this was supposed to be a monte carlo Sierpinski

there’s some caveman overlap prevention. Probably
tolerable if you need “some mountains” for an role
playing game map, or something like that?

# ⚓ The_Art_that_Broke_the_Mold⠀⇛
I ended up really liking both seasons of Anita’s
feminist video game show that she did with
McIntosh. I was watching the episodes as they were
released and they helped me get back into gaming
with her encouragement to both enjoy and criticize
media, which helped me to enjoy the good parts of
these these disturbing games.
I was surprised that I liked them as much since I
had thought (I wasn’t a crowdfunding backer); her
first show (about tropes generally, not just games)
was basic and overly 101 and “doesn’t everyone know
this?” (Gamergate showed how very, very wrong I was
about that, and now I think that show was good
since those “101” basic points was not was
universally agreed-upon and known as I believed.)

In fact, the seeming existence/presence of ego – an

# ⚓ Queens_Of_The_Stone_Age_–_New_Music⠀⇛
While I was doing my MSc in Chemistry in 2012, I
started listening to QOTSA. I remember that I was
at a point where I was looking for new bands and my
own friend there at University suggested the band
to me.
QOTSA are one of the best rock bands out there.
When I listen to a band I give a lot of credit to
unique song structures, recording sound/techniques
and the general vibe of the band. As time
progresses it becomes ever the more difficult to
innovate in music. So many combinations of
melodies, drum beats etc have already been recorded
and used, it’s hard not to fall into a trap when
writing new music. However, QOTSA almost always
delivers something new and fresh. Their music
writing style is definitely “Avant-Garde”, they
generally use differnt song structures and
melodies. The weirder, the better. On top of that,
their recording always sound amazing, and is part
of their aesthetic.
# ⚓ Early_Morning_Adventure_2023-05-12_(Fairbanks,_AK,_USA)⠀⇛
I had a half-baked plan this morning to do some
early-morning sunrise photography. Sunrise is now
4:38am and getting earlier each day, so I thought
this might be my last practical opportunity. It
sounded kind of boring to go back to my other
photography spots, but I couldn’t figure out from a
map what might be another good spot, in view of the
terrian and treelines in this area. I had one idea
to try to head downtown and see if I might get some
good shots against a skyline. One the way, I found
a parking lot near the “Boatel” with a good view
across the river.

Something I’ve become bad at through practicing the
wrong thing (building a habit of failing to read)?
Something intrinsic to my brain? Am I just trying
to read the wrong things?
I don’t know whether it’s a problem or not. I feel
very ignorant on a huge number of topics and I feel
like perhaps if I read more then I could be less
ignorant. On the other hand, there will always be
vastly more things I’m ignorant about than things
I’m knowledgeable about, so perhaps it’s a silly
thing to worry about.

# ⚓ A_New_Smartphone_After_Four_Months⠀⇛
At the end of December, I purchased a Nokia G21 TA-
1418 to replace my Samsung Galaxy Note8.
The Samsung ran well for the most part and
performed the tasks I needed, but my current job
requires me to install certain MFA tools on my
smartphone, and the Note8 was reaching end of
support for some of those tools. Of course, the
screen also had major burn-in and the battery
barely lasted a day on standby, but those were
relatively minor concerns for me. I chose the G21
as a replacement phone since it still offered SD-
based expandable storage and a 3.5 mm TRS jack:
increasingly rare features among US smartphones.
# ⚓ The_The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Breath_of_the_Wild_soundtrack_hits

While Tears of the Kingdom is actually out for me
right now, I wanted to wrap up my previous Zelda
experience. In the run-up to the TotK release, I
watched someone else play BotW with a couple mods
enabled. This got me in the mood to play the game
myself a little bit again, and I also wondered if I
could get the soundtrack. Way back when, when I
first got the game, I looked into getting the
soundtrack, and decided against. When I looked at
the entry on Amazon a bit (maybe years) later, only
scraps were available at ridiculous (three-digit)
prices. However, when I checked the final time,
they were down to normal levels…but they were all
imports, and all the printing was in Japanese. I
still have access to at least one computer with a
CD-ROM drive, so I bought the thing.
# § Programming⠀➾
# ⚓ Re:_The_Trouble_With_IDEs⠀⇛
Eclipse, well, there’s a funny story there,
some intern started up Eclipse, which
promptly made 50 database connections in the
test environment, which killed that
environment, and I got blamed for it because
the DBAs on the other side of the wall
thought it was ‘jmates’ who had caused the
problem, not the intern ‘jmate’. Why the heck
would a unix sysadmin be running Eclipse? I
get annoyed when vim has a 30 millisecond
startup time. Java? A bloat browser?
Fuggedaboutit!
Joel Spolsky informs us in 2001 that bloat
does not exist.
Unix is my IDE. OpenBSD in particular, using
a somewhat customized version of the base vi,
plus various other tools that I know pretty
well and can mostly debug (the man(1) crash
was a beyond my skills). That’s an
environment. It’s got problems; however, the
developers accept my patches (not sure what
ever happened to the strptime(3) bug I sent
Apple) and make continual improvements to a
complex system on a predictable cycle with
little in the way of resources. How much do
the Googles and Microsofts pull in for
profits? Why is their code so often featured
in the CVE charts?
Let’s review some alternative environments.
# ⚓ Async_for_UI_Control_Flow⠀⇛
In Card Story (link at the end), the users
can do things like “edit a line
of text”, or “create a link from a branch in
one card to another card”.
Like most user interfaces, some things the
users do involve multi-step flows.
One of the questions when developing user
interface code is how to logically
represent this kind of multi-step flow.
# ⚓ Riding_the_IDE_threads_wave⠀⇛
Holy moly: managed to sleep until 8:35am,
which is way later than I usually arise.
Three cheers for the power of some well-
placed THC.
Unfortunately that puts a real crimp in my
internet attention budget for today.
Much interesting and playful thoughtfulness
down these paths…
I’m sure I’m not the first to say this, but
vim has long been the only IDE I’ve ever
needed.
