"Web environment integrity" — because Chrome isn't dominant enough yet?

A recent exchange on the lists reminds me of a rule of thumb I've had occasion to apply more than once: never attribute to malice that which can be explained by the person involved being a non-native speaker of $LANGUAGE_IN_USE.

There is a certain sort of cognitive dissonance that comes with waiting in a long line of idling cars for an emissions test. It makes me appreciate, yet again, that the other car is an #EV (a Bolt, mind you, not one of those elonthings). Our determination to never acquire another internal-combustion vehicle, already strong, has been reinforced.

@mansr Really? That describes an awful lot of the rooms I have suffered in, and it didn't seem to affect the duration of the meeting at all — unless it made the whole experience longer while the search for a nicer room was carried out.

@brauner This is something I raised at the maintainers summit a couple of years ago ... the addition of kfuncs is almost entirely invisible and, thus, not widely reviewed.

6.5 has seen the addition of five kfuncs (so far): bpf_cpumask_any_and_distribute, bpf_cpumask_any_distribute, bpf_cpumask_first_and, bpf_sock_destroy, and bpf_task_under_cgroup

Concerts at Red Rocks can often be surprising, but this isn't the sort of surprise attendees are generally after... https://www.denverpost.com/2023/06/21/red-rocks-convert-fans-hail-injured/

Daniel Ellsberg died today. Goodbye to a courageous defender of much that is good.

Here's a couple of pictures I took of him at a protest at the Nevada nuclear test site sometime in the mid 1980's.

It has been some time since I played with OsmAnd; I'm surprised by how good it has gotten in the meantime. The user interface is still a bit annoying at times, but functionally it mostly outdoes the proprietary competition at this point.

Things are going so great in ElonLand that Twitter managed to get evicted from its Boulder office...

Local Boulder news, perhaps, but for those of us who watched over 1,000 homes burn down, in just a few hours, from our front steps, a determination of the cause (or causes, as it turns out) is a pretty big deal.

Nobody, it seems, is being charged for having started this disaster, a decision that seems correct based on the evidence as described. I can only imagine that the lawsuits are going to keep an army of lawyers employed for a long time, though.

@geert Amusingly, I'm currently in *your* country/region...but WireGuard hid that blocking so I didn't even know it existed. Apologies for that. An alternative that seems to lack this blocking is https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a44118928/cows-attack-runner-on-boulder-trail/

So I am distinctly grumpy with the Internet for having, for some unknown and inexplicable reason, failed to tell me about NO_COLOR for the last five years or so. Maybe I can finally stop cursing the people who think that yellow text on a white background is somehow legible...

@larsmb Well said: "I'm quite happy to not be welcoming to those who feel offended by rainbow colors."

@itsjustdj There are a lot of better alternatives to Authenticator, there's no reason to keep this sort of security-relevant data in somebody's cloud garden. https://lwn.net/Articles/925870/

*Sigh... we've had a wet spring and for once nothing is even threatening to catch fire ... so of course we have to import our smoke from Canada instead. https://twitter.com/cdpheapcd/status/1659913855190077440 Best of luck to everybody in Alberta, we know what it's like.

@vbabka @ljs Vlastimil, have you told the conference folks that this has happened? It seems like they should send out one of those inevitable "somebody turned up positive" emails to the group...
