Journos reporting Russian "election" results: I have a large bridge for sale. And if there's any doubt that I actually own it, you can talk to my department of truth officer, staffed by this lovely sock puppet.

My 13-year-old is writing Tetris using an assembly language they invented in Scratch (because x86 assembly is "too much"). I may need to get them a risc-v board soon.

@wyatt8740 kinda like me and quantum computing. I know that someone named Hadamard invented a superposition gate. :)

@SiteRelEnby not trying to be the reply guy, but I think that's "git remote update [remote name]".

Linus Torvalds
torvaldsSome of you know today as Ο-day.
But the real insiders know that today is the 30th anniversary of the 1.0 release of Linux.

A better headline: "Democrats seek ways to cut off Putin's Johnson."

@dartov Regulation in Canada/EU may be the driving force behind the change back to more ergonomic controls -- at least one can hope. I'm 99.9% sure my next car won't be a Tesla (better options exist today that didn't in 2020 when we got ours, plus these days new Teslas come with that Musky smell that you can't get rid of).

"To shift into drive, reverse, or park, Tesla owners will need to use their car's touchscreen.β
Look, touchscreens in vehicles are horrible:
1. It's really hard to hit the right area on the screen when the vehicle is moving, because you have nowhere to rest your hand to steady it.
2. I don't want to take off my gloves to turn anything off or on. No, "use special tactile gloves" is not a solution, because they are expensive, you can't be very precise while wearing them, and they gradually lose that magic touch over time as you wear them and get them grimy.
3. No, "use voice commands" is not a great alternative. Try yelling "turn off defrosters" loud enough to be heard over the noise of those defrosters.
4. I shouldn't need to wear my reading glasses to operate a vehicle. Progressive lenses are not an option for many due to cost and bifocals remove a large chunk of the vision field that you need for actual driving.
So, please let's all collectively move past the point where touchscreens are used for anything other than infotainment and GPS.

Note, Trump has already cut off all funding for Ukraine via his limp sockpuppet in congress.

AkaSci@fosstodon.orgMstyslav Chernov, Michelle Mizner and Raney Aronson-Rath win the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature Film for "20 Days in Mariupol."
Mstyslav Chernov, director, said -
"I am honored but I will probably be the first director on this stage to say that I wish I had never made this film."
βI wish to be able to exchange this for Russia never attacking Ukraine, never invading our cities. I wish to be able to exchange this for Russian not killing 10,000 of my fellow Ukrainians.β

@Anarcat That's only for people who write "OCD" as "CDO" (because that way the letters are in alphabetical order).

@labbott well, no, I don't actually write that (I don't intentionally try to be a jerk to people :)). I just quietly suffer.
