Writing a PhD thesis on moo goo gai pan.

Probably true to an extent (not that they created it - the origins of Hamas are documented well enough - but that they put their fingers on the scale at various times), but it is the easiest fucking cop-out for smug liberals to pretend they’re being objective and critical of Israel, while endorsing the core “objective” of Israel’s campaign of extermination. Israel is only bad insofar as Netanyahu is bad, and Netanyahu is only bad insofar as Hamas is bad, and the root of the problem remains that Hamas is bad, and not that Israel is a genocidal apartheid state. This is the fundamental logic underlying this rhetoric. It leads you to the exact same fucking place as the Hasbara reply guys on Twitter who will respond to the gruesome assassination of surgeons and aid workers by ‘lamenting’ about what Hamas has made this necessary.

Israeli intelligence obviously preferred to have an opponent they could portray as fanatics (pot, meet kettle) over secular liberals or a workers party. Their goal is not a compromise, but Libensraum. You say something like Palestinian Islamic Jihad and all the fucking wine mom/ipa dad liberals will shit their pants and withhold support because the victims of oppression are not resisting their oppression correctly. It is good for Hasbara purposes, and funds like this buy influence and blackmail capabilities. It is standard operating procedure for intelligence agencies like this.

No justice, only peace!

I wonder if this will impact semiconductor production

Absolutely hideous.

Check out Gpodder. You can export your subscriptions to/from AntennaPod, and even synchronize your playback history through the gpodder.net service (if you want).

Next time I completely shit myself in a stressful situation I hope a scientist somewhere describes the act as “clever.”

GTK+ is kind of similar in this regard, but at least there are hundreds of codebases to look at to figure out how the hell people are doing things in practice.

Audacity is an excellent recording program.

Hydrogen is an excellent drum machine.

There is a free software DAW named Ardour which seems pretty complex, but I don’t do enough audio production to compare it against commercial alternatives.

LMMS is also pretty cool.

Then there’s always MilkyTracker if you want to go medieval.

IMO, where FOSS audio production shines is not in any specific DAW software, but in the capabilities offered by toolkits like Jack and PipeWire to take audio and MIDI outputs of any program and plug them into the inputs of any other program. The ability to run commercial VST plugins in WINE is a bonus.

There are dozens of arbitrary synthesizers and sequencers out there, all with unique perks and rough edges. But there is strong infrastructure to create a pipeline from all of these individual components. You are required to fuck around with it.

lmfao noooooo

Debian security advisory - impacts Testing and Unstable. Stable unaffected. (Debian is upstream of A LOT of other distributions, such as Ubuntu)

Red Hat CVE - impacts Fedora 41 and Rawhide

Arch Linux announcement - Impacted, upgrade immediately

Gentoo bug - Package was in the Gentoo repository, masked by ~arch (unstable) keyword. Children who wildcard-unmask everything are impacted.

Surely there are more.

This is pretty bad.

I don’t personally torment the sick and the poor, so basically I am Jesus Christ.

Tmux / GNU Screen. Both are terminal multiplexers which allow you to do things like split a terminal into several windows and detach your session (so for instance, you can detach from a text terminal and resume in a terminal emulator, or so you can re-attach to a remote session over SSH after a hangup).

Portage: It’s 4PM, time to build dev-qt/qtwebengine again

Me: Yes, honey.

Yeah. Email is baked into the software so a throwaway is needed for technical reasons, but only for registration and password recovery. I don’t have any e-mail services blocked. You are encouraged to use a throwaway e-mail service unless you want password recovery and (optional) email notifications to work.

Recently we added manual account activation due to a spam wave. You don’t have to write an essay outlining your ideological beliefs or anything. It is strictly an anti-bot measure.
