MICKEY 17. It's a social satire,a political allegory, and it's like if Terry Gilliam made a movie conceived by William Burroughs. The idiotic villain is basically how Korean folks (via the great Korean director Bong Joon Ho) see Trump. They're not wrong. Ignore the critics on this. Great stuff.

I really like @steveklabnik.com 's jj tutorial. I wish there was some kind of annotation or something that put a number next to each command you would need to execute to keep your tree in sync with the tutorial. I keep missing things in the blobs of text and having to go back.

For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I've paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

I can't share any more information at this time, so please don't ask for more details. Thank you.

"we have so much old code, surely adding more analyzers to catch bugs in old code is much higher impact than piecemeal writing new code in a memory-safe language"

Thinking about that Rushkoff piece about his paid chat with five finance/tech billionaires where all they really wanted to know about “the future of technology” was how to avoid a bodyguard mutiny after “The Event”
the speed at which these self-styled technokings would lose control of, and perhaps be eaten by, the legion of wage slaves they would need to import to keep their Rapture-style vanity nations functioning as like, actual places where you can live is funny enough to almost be worth letting them try

I have work to do but I'm distracted by watching US scientific progress & leadership being irreversibly undermined because a few unelected malcontents are penalizing researchers for following legal requirements set out by congressional orders to augment basic research with benefits to society.

At @oxide.computer, we love terminal UIs--sure, for the retro appeal, but more for their simplicity and universality on systems we build and debug.

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.
