British Columbia passed a law that they're done with biennial DST changes starting next year and a bunch of people are fauxpset that they picked "permanent DST" as the solution instead of "permanent standard time."

As someone who, for a long time, was in charge of scheduling games for his local baseball association, let me tell you that "permanent standard time" would be a disaster for summer-time organized sports. All of your fields without lights would instantly become pretty much unusable if the sun sets at 7:30 instead of 8:30 in July.

Your circadian rhythms will be fine, you ninnies -- your young parents won't be if Jimmy can't play his favourite game any more because his local municipal budget doesn't have any money to install floodlights.

@krzk #1 reason why b4 review doesn't let you send agent reviews without editing them first.

June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a โ€œwater intrusion eventโ€

March 2026: an Amazon data center in the Middle East is literally struck by a fucking ballistic missile in a hot war and they call it โ€œimpacted by objectsโ€

@mpdesouza Replacing your regular email client is not the goal, at least not at this stage. We load follow-ups as a way to help the maintainer to see what other feedback is available, but the primary features are code review.

b4 review getting started documentation, with screencasts:

https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/reviewer/getting-started.html

Still requires unreleased master version -- I'm hoping for some initial tests before I release 0.15.

b4 review landed in b4 master. I'll post a bunch of stuff tomorrow announcing it, but if you want to give it an early whirl, go ahead. The docs are a bit scant, but they should get you started.

You'll need python textual framework. To start, run "b4 review enroll" in a repo where you'll be reviewing code. Then run "b4 review tui". After that, you can run "b4 review track <msgid>" to pull in a series to review.

Please poke around and break things. I'm sure that won't be too hard.

Just putting in some important final touches.

Remember how computers in the Start Trek TOS speak in a flat, monotonous machine voice? I think we should retcon that to be a deliberate policy choice implemented as a result of mass psychological trauma experienced by humanity in early eras of AI. A kind of intentional design choice similar how North American outlets present as scary frowny faces.

Here's an asciinema recording of the current state of b4 review:

https://asciinema.org/a/795683

It shows patchwork integration, reviewing series, taking series, sending thank-you notes, etc.

It's still rough around the ages, but it's doing useful things. I hope to release it as "pre-alpha" soon.

4 years of war in Ukraine
Show content
Today begins year 5 of Russia's full scale aggression against Ukraine and it will soon be 12 years since Russia first started this war by illegally occupying and then annexing Crimea.

Fuck Putin, fuck everyone who supported this invasion then, and especially fuck those who through greed, cowardice, or direct allegiance maintain Putin in power today: Kim, Fico, Orban, Xi, Trump.

Ukraine is the only power directly opposing Putin today, which is why I will continue to support it until Putin is defeated, until Russia restores the borders in their 1991 configuration and commits to pay reparations for all the grievous damage it's done and continues to do. Glory to Ukrainians and everyone fighting on their side -- may we all have their resolve and courage when it's time to take arms to defend our homes against a large and bloodthirsty neighbour who comes to pillage and kill.

@krzk Not a joke -- I really expect the answer to boil down to that.
