Jostain syystä vaimo otti minut tosissaan kun sanoin että: No niin, ihanan keskustassa vietetyn päivän loppuhuipennukseksi voimmekin käydä tuolla Jätkäsaaren Verkkokaupassa tekemässä heräteostoksia.

"Sinn Féin is a tricky party to explain to people outside of Ireland. They are now just a centre left party with a bit of cultural baggage. Unattended suspicious baggage. With an unsettling ticking noise."

Propaganda: trans women are going to assault you in the ladies’ room

Reality: Drunk armed border patrol agents are going to assault you in the ladies’ room
Hodgson, the agent, was allegedly off-duty, intoxicated, and armed with a handgun while at a restaurant in the Shoreline Village in Long Beach. Hodgson allegedly entered the women’s restroom, where he approached a female who observed his handgun and firearm magazine.

Ah, just noticed that #parallels Desktop on Apple Silicon Macs doesn't support #wsl2 in a Windows VM. Good that I found out in time, before deciding to go down that route for some Windows needs.

Katsellaan A Very English Scandalia Areenasta. Ollaan nähty joskus aiemminkin, mutta kestää kyllä toisenkin katsomisen. Hugh Grant ja Ben Whishaw loistavat.https://areena.yle.fi/1-4535302
Perienglantilainen skandaali
Tosipohjainen hirtehinen minisarja kuvaa brittejä järkyttänyttä oikeusjuttua, jossa vallan ytimessä ollut arvostettu poliitikko on epäiltynä murhan suunnittelusta. Jeremy Thorpe oli Britannian poliittisen eliitin supermies, joka nuorimpana puoluejohtajana sataan vuoteen kulki Liberaalisen puolueen johdossa voitosta voittoon. Skandaali sai alkunsa 1960-luvulla. Homoseksuaalisuus oli ollut pitkään rikos Britanniassa, eikä siitä tullut hetkessä yleisesti hyväksyttävää senkään jälkeen, kun se laillistettiin Englannissa ja Walesissa vuonna 1967. Thorpe salasi suuntautuneisuutensa maailmalta keinolla millä hyvänsä, ja kun pitkään jatkunut lemmenleikki sai hänen kannaltaan ikävän käänteen, joviaalina tunnettu mies ryhtyi raivaamaan mainettaan uhkaavaa nuorukaista tieltään. Pääosissa: Hugh Grant, Ben Wishaw ja Alex Jennings. Ohjaus Stephen Frears. (A Very English Scandal, Britannia/Yhdysvallat, 2018.)

@bagder Send them a bill. Your software might be free, but your work for consulting them on security issues doesn't have to be.

The feeling when you find the root cause for a problem that has been bothering you for months. And it turns out to be fixable by adding a single letter. (To turn an "unsigned long" literal into an "unsigned long long" one.) (Actually I made it use the UINT64_C() macro from <cstdint>.)

Russia’s “Kherson Human Safari” has gone on for well over a year with limited outrage from the international community or media coverage.

Every day they use drones to specifically target civilians for “target practice” & often post videos of them doing it proudly.

Today they targeted a 1 year old.

@nerdydaytrips Is there any checks at all whether a suggested site really is "nerdy"? (And who gets to define that?)

A random example: I wouldn't say the Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile in Turin, Italy, is especially nerdy, surely it is a massive tourist spot that decidedly un-nerdy car fans […]

@nerdydaytrips is it just me, or are all the pointers on the map wrongly located when zoomed out? Like this, which is in the sea when zoomed out, but at the presumably correct location only when zoomed in.

I've been talking to GitHub and giving them feedback on their "create issues with Copilot" thing they have in the works.

Today I tested a version for them and using it I asked copilot to find and report a security problem in curl and make it sound terrifying.

In about ten seconds it had a […]

There has been an announcement that there will be a direct night train between Malmö and Basel from April 2026. Three times a week in each direction, i.e. just one set of carriages is available for this.

Expect some over-eager slightly misguided stories in the press now about how you "finally" […]

Vita killar utforskar. Aningen mörkare killar dras in i kriminella miljöer och bör utvisas.
Det är väl ändå en jäkla skillnad att begå faktiskt brott med fängelse i straffskalan än att (så klart olämpligt) befinna sig i en extremistmiljö under en kortare tid? För en ungs "utforskande" kan man ju hamna i religiösa och politiska miljöer som man ofta lämnar. Gängkriminalitet är helt annat.
