Normally the creators of beloved children’s cartoon characters would not need to disavow the U.S. Secretary of Defense, but ours is a drunken miscreant, a loutish boor with the dignity and nobility of a counterfeit butt-plug

I still have a Rockbox-shaped hole in my heart. We improved mp3 players massively, and had a blast doing it.
I wonder what would be a similar thing today: A common device with frustratingly poor software that could benefit from some open source love.
Any suggestions?

Ah yes, the famous three operating systems.
Posix, NT and Java

#python #java #posix #linux #windows #macos
os.name The name of the operating system dependent module imported. The following names have currently been registered: 'posix', 'nt', 'java'. See also sys.platform has a finer granularity. os.uname() gives system-dependent version information. The platform module provides detailed checks for the system’s identity.

“I can’t recall any other example of a federal policy that provoked quite so much litigation in such a short period of time—or in which so many judges from across the geographical and ideological spectrum so overwhelmingly rejected the executive branch’s new interpretation of the relevant statutes.”
195. The Immigration Detention Flood
The Trump administration's attempt to quietly—but massively—expand who can be detained pending their removal has been met with overwhelming pushback from a remarkably large number of district courts.

We just published a deep look into David Sacks, the White House's AI and Crypto czar. The story examines how he has been able keep hundreds of stakes in AI-related and crypto companies as he influences gov policy in those very industries.

Tea take: Current generative AI is incompatible with zero trust because exactly *how* do you do role based access to segment access to the model. However, this is not a problem as they're both bollocks anyway.

If the U.S. was at war, Pete Hegseth's order would be a war crime, a military lawyer said. Instead, it might just be murder. wapo.st/49KbUJ1
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Companies, don't try to stiff your consultants for work they've already done. It's a terrible look and it's likely to cost you more than you think you're going to save. Also usually illegal and always immoral, should shame be a feeling you experience.

Consultants, I strongly recommend having […]

Would you like something to argue about this Thanksgiving? Here: I wrote about how Congress refusing to impeach Trump violates their oath of office.

https://www.techdirt.com/2025/11/26/oaths-of-office-and-how-everyone-not-moving-to-impeach-trump-is-violating-their-own/
Oaths Of Office, And How Everyone Not Moving To Impeach Trump Is Violating Their Own
Until very recently the only member of Congress excused from not having moved to impeach Trump was Rep. Grijalva, because until someone swore her in there was nothing she could officially do. But for everyone else already sworn into this 119th Congress, there was no excuse. There is no excuse. The refusal to act, to […]

Spot the livestock guardian dog (he's discovered that the compost pile is actually a self-heating bed, and he does NOT want to get up)

The goats and llama don't seem at all bothered by the frost.
A frosty farm pen, with a large frosty hay bale on one side, and a tall wooden fence surrounding the whole area. There's a compost pile in one corner, and if you look carefully you can just barely see a yellowish dog curled up on it. The sky above is grey with fog. A closer view of the frosty compost pile, with the yellowish dog perfectly curled up in a small depression at the top. You can also see the pathway he's followed to walk up and down the pile, because there is less frost there. A fuzzy brown llama, a small black goat, and a small brown goat, all stuffing their faces into a frosty hay bale to eat. In the corner of the photo is part of the face of a fluffy white dog who is very excited. A whole bunch of black, white, and brown goats eating from the frosty hay bale, along with the fuzzy brown llama. In the background you can just barely see the compost pile with the yellowish dog still curled up sleeping on top.
