STOP DOING HOMEWORK

CHILDREN WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO SPEND TWELVE HOURS A DAY DOING SCHOOLWORK

YEARS OF BUSY WORK yet NO REAL WORLD USE FOUND for replacing free time with MORE SCHOOL

Wanted to learn during your free time anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: it was called "THE LIBRARY"

"The assignment is due tomorrow. It is worth 50 percent of your grade." - Statements dreamt up by the utterly deranged

"Sorry can't go out tonight, I have homework"

They have played us for absolute fools

I can't give money to US politicians, but I can give money to Pizza to the Polls. Please go and vote against fascism when it's your turn, and maybe even enjoy a tasty slice of pizza.

It's also pretty telling that AI bot farms do us more harm than someone who is actively trying to hurt us.

The amount of time I've spent dealing with ddos attacks could have been so much more productively spent.

PSA: if you're suddenly unable to use tailscale's split DNS ("MagicDNS"), you're probably running kernel 6.11.4+. For the moment, downgrading to 6.11.3 is the only simple fix.

We're learning more about the serious threat that Musk poses to U.S. national security.

He's completely wired into America's security apparatus, and has been one of Putin's phone pals.

Democrats need to recognize that much of this got going under Obama, whose administration was simply reckless in trusting this guy.

Great reporting by the WSJ:

What's going on over at Bluesky?

Oh they fundraised and got a whole bunch of money from a blockchain investor who has money in basically ever fucked up scam you have heard of.

Great.

@multisn8 I'm referring to the general experience. On the one hand it's a needed relief, but on the other you're now wearing the results.

the fediverse: pissing into the wind as a service

@puppygirlhornypost2 Nothing really to do with LF directly, because LF doesn't do commerce with sanctioned companies. However, large US corporations working on the kernel are in a legally tough situation when some maintainer is working for a sanctioned company. Any changes that touch those subsystems could be qualified as "performing actions that benefit sanctioned companies."

That's my understanding. IANAL, never been, not speaking for LF.

Well, hello ddos.

@tusooa I'm not having a philosophical debate today. I know very little about the extremely complex situation happening in Palestine, and I don't discuss things I don't understand.

@tusooa Heh, you're trying to convince a "Russian identified person" in one of the senior positions in the Linux Foundation that the Linux Foundation is being unfair towards "Russian identified people." It's pretty hilarious.

I'm not a lawyer and I don't speak for the LF, so I won't give you any kind of "official comment." But here's my view of it.

The people removed from maintainer positions were identified as employed by companies on the US and EU sanctions list. These companies are directly involved in the Russian military complex and therefore are directly complicit in war crimes being committed daily in Ukraine. If these maintainers want to think that they are "just techies helping improve the Linux kernel," or that "they are outside of politics," then they are fucking wrong. If they work for companies that develop weaponry or logistics used by the Russian military, they are complicit in Russia's war crimes, and I hold them responsible at a very personal level -- and that's my official comment on the situation.

@tusooa You seem to be a troll. Explain how this is racist, or I will ban you.

@tusooa "If you work for companies under direct US or EU sanctions, you are going to have a bad time."

And when some crooked US politicians start saying "Why do we keep supporting Ukraine?" remind them that they fucking put their name on the legal document where the U.S. guaranteed the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine.

Periodic reminder of a few facts:

1. Ukraine was a nuclear power after the dissolution of the USSR. It had nuclear weapons under its full control.
2. The USA convinced Ukraine to transfer their nuclear weapons to Russia. In exchange, the USA signed a treaty *guaranteeing* Ukraine's territorial sovereignty if Ukraine gives up its nuclear weapons.
3. In 2014, when Russia invaded and illegally annexed Crimea, the US under Barack Obama defaulted on their guarantee.
4. We cannot seriously discuss any other treaties with Russia if we continue to ignore the fact, that such treaties were repeatedly broken by Russia, with the powerful nations offering security guarantees looking the other way.

It's insane to me that we now have reports of North Korea intervening in Russia's invasion of #Ukraine and the response is so timid.

That's now two — or three, if you count Iran — autocratic states engaged in military conquest to quell a burgeoning liberal-democracy, with the rest of the world too paralysed by fear to prevent it.

This is a glimpse of how future decades are going to look. It's the great moral and liberal issue of our time. We'll be judged harshly for our failures now.
