Sometimes it feels like that the world is run by random Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp groups. Can't be, I must be imagining things...

So what the fuck happened to #Sentinel, or why is US MIL command and control run by random Signal groups? Was it scraped by #DOGE? ;-)

I've noticed something that I think is worth pointing out: pretty much ALL of the pushback I have gotten on LinkedIn over the past few months over stories critical of this administration has come from men in IT. Many of whom no doubt idolize Musk, who in their minds can walk on water.

Conversely, the response almost universally I've seen from female non/male people in IT and security professionals on LinkedIn has been a great deal more appropriate, i.e. horror, disgust and revulsion for the way this administration is treating federal employees, veterans, the courts, judges, lawyers, journalists, and important, long-standing U.S. policy interests.

I guess what I'm saying is nobody should expect the men in IT to lead the resistance. So many of them are like this guy: angry, aggressive, and really excited about the good old US of A going back to the 80s. Like the 1880s.

Trump has already been enjoined by courts in his second term more than Biden was in his entire term. It’s not the courts. It’s the illegality.

The architecture of American power, built painstakingly over seventy-five years, has been abandoned. This will be remembered as the moment when America's Pacific century came to an end.

what could possibly go wrong?

Tekoälykäännökset heikentävät laatua, polkevat kirjailijan oikeuksia ja näyttävät keskisormea kääntäjien ammattitaidolle, mutta se ei tunnu suoratoistopalveluita kiinnostavan.

Pääasia, että heille tulee rahaa.

IMHO AI crawlers should result company bans to open source projects. We need Code of Conduct for AI.

FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies https://thelibre.news/foss-infrastructure-is-under-attack-by-ai-companies/ Please boost for awareness, reach and to public shame Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI, Perplexity and other such AI companies.

I benchmarked that in the time window of one hour meeting I can prepare lasagne from zero to oven. This is my official Google Meet lasagne.

When using audio plugins with Linux DAW's, I'd use unconditionally Windows plugins:

1. Everything in one basket.
2. Wine folder is easy to backup.
3. Plugins suck as software and they spray your system with worst garbage ever. This way they spray only (backed up) Wine folder.

At least I pick always Windows version even if there is option to install "native" Linux plugin.

In the case of audio plugins Windows plugin is as native as Linux plugin because they don't produce any audio. An audio plugin is just a data sink, source or pipe wrapped into a fancy packaging :-)

Quick recipes to get OVMF and AAVMF anywhere:

OVMF:

curl -sSf https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/ovmf-0.0.202308-r2.apk | tar zx --strip-components 3 usr/share/OVMF/OVMF.fd

AAVMF:

curl -sSf https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/aarch64/aavmf-0.0.202308-r2.apk | tar xz --strip-components 3 usr/share/AAVMF/QEMU_EFI.fd

Distributions place these files in variable places when they deploy QEMU and EDK2 so it is is good to have ubiquitous method for acquiring them for e.g. kernel testing.
