A US businessman with 171 million social media followers is trying to convince the American public, that the law which contains the aid to Ukraine will allow foreigners to vote in US elections.

X is the misinformation medium.

Why is python's email module *so bad* at creating valid headers?

90% of the bugs reported against the module are for some kind of header parsing or writing problem.

Is there a fancy German word for when you find out that a fancy foreign word is actually pretty blah in its original language? Like, "Bossa Nova" just literally means "New Wave," "hors d'oeuvre" means "side project" and "wanderlust" just means "in the mood for some walking."

True story: I never issue "reboot" from the CLI because I once arrow-keyed up too far and rebooted a critical system into an unusable state.

So, if you look at my history, it's always "sleep 5 && reboot" to allow for a frantic "oh sh*t, Ctrl-C!" at the last moment.

If you're wondering why I followed you, even though we've never interacted and seemingly have nothing in common, that's probably because I'm trying to add diversity to my feed of aging nerdy white guys.

(Edited to add: and because you posted something cool, of course. The above statement is not the exclusive guiding principle. :))

Fantastic, concise summary from @monsieuricon on a bit of history about Git and kernel projects and why they continue to use mailing list workflows over a centralized forge. https://lore.kernel.org/git/20240201-primitive-aardwark-of-contentment-aaabb9@lemur/

Dudes will literally lie to investors, get fined by the SEC, dig pointless tunnels, blow up rockets, waste $44b on a dying social media platform, embrace anti semitism, alienate their kids and start a blood feud with Disney instead of going to therapy

@tailscale and Tidal need to fight it out for who gets to use that dot-matrix T logo.

Interesting, just wish they involved the git ML at some point for some RFC feedback.

Ukraine is critically low on ammo, and Russia conducts 50 attacks daily, while the US Congress is holding back the aid to Ukraine.

Putin must be laughing at how much control he has over the US thanks to Trump.

For two years, the Biden administration led an international coalition to provide military aid to Ukraine. Majorities in the U.S. and in Congress continue to support Ukraine. Now, a minority of Republicans are preparing to cut it all off.

If they do, the US is at risk of seeming not just like an unreliable ally, but an unserious ally https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/01/us-congress-support-ukraine-war/677256/

I believe Eric would hate me for any attention I call to this (which is really why I don't do this on every corner at any opportunity), but b4 is only really possible because of the work he did on public-inbox. If it weren't for all the effort he's put into it over the past few years, there would be no lore.kernel.org and no b4.

(LF has been a proud sponsor of public-inbox over the past 3 years.)
