search engine trying to choose between a page updated by a human last year vs a thousand automatically generated web apps that deploy continuously with updates unrelated to the content

As I cycle through wind and rain to the supermarket, I doff my cap to those who just unlocked the Dutch People Carrying Shit On Their Bicycles, Sinterklaas Edition. School's out and the surprises made by the children - large cardboard/paper contraptions containing a small gift - have to get home.

Just typed "interfae" and it's my favourite typo right now: an interfae is a protocol that two daemons use to talk to each other.
re: assassination
@elilla To me, it signals that something has changed, politically speaking; that there is now a broad recognition of an 'owner class' or 'billionaire class' as an enemy or at the very least not a friend, and that that recognition exists beyond a small group of radical folks.
It's hopeful to me in a way.

man, looking at the sentiment on social media for the CEO Assassin, i do not think the NYPD are gonna get many genuine tips. like i've never seen such a one-sided outpouring of sentiment.
Can someone with more Wikipedia chops than I have update this page to reflect that it's no longer GPL or open-source since 2022? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Dental
@lucydev Oh, alternatively some older scanners, I believe some of the CanoScan devices still don't work under Linux (not sure if that's a kernel driver thing though?) and they're usually everywhere on classifieds sites
@lucydev Those cheap WiFi 6 dongles on AliExpress? Quite a few of them have chips that are either partially supported (Bluetooth only) or unsupported in the kernel. If you get a few different <$5 ones you're likely to have at least some that don't work OOTB.

Does anyone know of some cheap linux-incompatible hardware i could use to practice writing kernel-drivers for?
Everything I have currently works oob with linux, or is made by nvidia (graphics is a bit too crazy for me for now)

It feels notable that Facebook has enabled two-way federation on Threads the day after Zuckerberg was caught trying to join the incoming Trump administration's circle of unelected and unappointed weirdos.

The unilateral dunking on the recently killed pharma ceo is inspiring
Reminder: billionaires can, at any time, solve essentially all of the world’s problems by simply not hoarding an egregious amount of wealth. They choose not to. Every day.

the FBI holding an emphatic position on something for decades despite concrete evidence to the contrary and then getting their ass handed to them does feel particularly bleak when you remember that their nominal function is to evaluate evidence and provide justice based on it.
(yes, I know, quiet part out loud and all that)

Ik vond Madame Tussaud werkelijk niks aan als kind. Later moest ik er nog een keer heen. Ik vond het nog steeds niks. Ik heb al niks met 'beroemde mensen kijken' dus ik hoef ook niet hun wassen versies te zien. Echt niet.
En dan hoor ik 'Ja maar het is zo knap gemaakt'. Maar dat vind ik irrelevant. Of is het weer kunst? Is het kunst? Ik kan me er niks bij voorstellen. Die beelden zetten je toch niet aan het denken, roepen toch geen vragen op? "Mooi he." zei mijn tante. Maar ik vond er niks aan.

on the insurance CEO murder
I'm probably one of the most violence-adverse creatures I know and even I'm over here sipping tea quietly and nodding to myself going "Yup. It is a true objective fact that the people inflicting pain and suffering on everyone for profit have names and addresses. Mmhmmm. Indisputable fact"
Course for all we know this was something even more base than we think like "A business competitor did this". But we're all thinking the same thing and thinking it quite loudly.

back in college, i had a drawing prof who was really accommodating about accessibility options. he noticed me struggling to draw upright, and i explained sheepishly that i really need to brace myself against something when i'm holding up my hands/arms bc i tremble too much otherwise
i braced myself for getting chastised, but he just went "oh, just a sec", grabbed a long, wooden dowel out of a closet, propped it up against my easel and went "there, try leaning on that now". it was so much better
