The regime that has allied itself with Hamas, Taliban, and Iran would appreciate your support in dealing with Islamic extremism.

Yesterday my wife gave birth to lovely twin babies — a boy and a girl. We can’t choose our parents, we can’t choose where we are born. Ours were born to parents who unconditionally love them, and they were born in the capital of a free country, Kyiv of Ukraine.

But just because the nation of a neighboring country, in its absolute majority, is sick with chauvinism and has dark barbarian worldview, our newborn babies had to spent their very first night in this world in the basement of a maternity hospital along with dozens other newborns, their parents, and those who are only about to give birth; a basement which serves as an improvised shelter for more than two years already and not only saves lives, but is occasionally a place to give lives — some women give childbirth right there. Last night russia sent 11 strategic bombers to launch 29 cruise missiles towards Ukrainian sleeping cities; then, expecting that they’ve exhausted Kyiv’s air defense, they tried to break through with 2 more ballistic missiles, which they long claimed and threatened to be “impossible to intercept”. Thanks to all partners who supplied Ukraine with anti-missiles systems, and to titanic efforts of Ukrainian Air Defense Forces, all missiles were shot down over Kyiv. No people were killed, 13 were wounded, 4 hospitalized, as missiles debris damaged several buildings and burned a few cars.

This time all our newborns are alive. But we should remember that more than 500 Ukrainian children have already been killed in this war. And it’s ongoing. Please, support Ukraine, give us more weapons to defend ourselves. This weapon is just some money that literally can save a lot of lives, and stop aggressor from doing even more evil, to stop even more newborns coming to this world in basements hiding from missiles that are targeted to kill them the very first day.

We’re seeking input from #FOSS maintainers as we design a fellowship program pilot. We want to test a support mechanism that addresses structural issues in the FOSS ecosystem, and support maintainers who work on open digital infrastructure in the public interest.

If you maintain open source projects, we would be very grateful if you could take ten minutes to respond to the survey:

Please also repost and share with FOSS maintainers you know. Thanks!

A good time to remind everyone that we are remote-first and are hiring: http://jobs.frame.work

I see saying-gif-wrong people have infiltrated the new Dune movies. We, original Lynch movie snobs, will be in this corner pronouncing "bene gesserit" the only true way it was supposed to be pronounced.

If lore.kernel.org was slow for you this morning, this is because the fscking tiktok bot crawler hit it 1,813,470 times over 10 hours.

DIAF.

You, too, can cast your vote against Putin on this convenient website: https://u24.gov.ua/

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.

Some of you know today as π-day.

But the real insiders know that today is the 30th anniversary of the 1.0 release of Linux.

It's time to build scout trucks again! Here's my kid's last year entry.

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

"To shift into drive, reverse, or park, Tesla owners will need to use their car's touchscreen.”

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.

Age of cringillionaires.

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