  Wow, put this together with Trump's male ass fetish and we have the best explanation for MAGA I've heard so far. The are all closeted gay men. And there is video. HAL9000 went insane for less. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dtnNq2lJkM #Epstein #LindseyGraham

  I like that people have finally started to rebel against unrestrained use of networked devices with cameras and mics capable of monitoring you in unwanted ways. Also, I picked the right time to stop developing networked devices with cameras and mics capable of monitoring you in unwanted ways.

  Members of the Trump Administration, you will be rewarded and even pardoned if appropriate, if you help preserve evidence of the #Epstein cover-up, and testify against those guilty of hiding or destroying evidence. The next POTUS is going to have no mercy on child rapists, unlike the current POTUS, who is one.

  Gov Beshear (or KY SecState ?) needs to send Mitch a "voter registration confirmation mail". If he does not respond within one week, he's not registered to vote in KY, and cannot be a Senator either. Done.

  I resist the idea that States like Maine should not just go ahead and take ICE agents into custody, let fedgov fight about that in court. No more deferring by default #Maine

  Someday I want to discuss the pattern of conservative white men choosing Asian "wives". Also, this is such a great story, even though somebody died. https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/03/21/she-stayed-on-the-phone-as-her-tesla-sank-report-on-death-of-mitch-mcconnells-sister-in-law/

  What an embarrassing shit show every time I hear the Traitor POTUS speak in public, especially in front of foreign leaders. To all sane people of the world, I'm sorry, but this is what happens when you mix billions of dollars with the bottom 33% of the intellectual/moral barrel of a democracy.

  @taylorlorenz@mastodon.social 1 - There is no "algorithm" - you see posts from those you follow, unless you choose to explore. 2 - Your platform of choice does not make money by selling your personal information.

  @blinry@chaos.social One day back in about 1995, I was bored and decided to write a small DOS program to render VGA graphics for a planet orbiting a sun. Rather than simply plotting a circle and rasterizing it over time, I wrote an actual Newtonian physics equation solver for the gravitational pull, and chose mass and distance and angular velocity for the bodies. I basically tuned the params by binary chop and intuition until I had it semi-stable for a minute, and declared victory !

  One of my biggest problems with "use AI" is that it breaks an essential feedback loop in the problem solving process. 1/x

  It's been exactly one year since I last ordered anything from Amazon, and it really feels like an anniversary worth celebrating. Like an alcoholic celebrating a year of sobriety.

  @samlitzinger "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". That means the Executive shall impose no religious test to condition citizens rights nor define "American" group membership. That means anyone who holds the opinion that "we are a Christian nation" is opposing the Constitution, and I reject their sophistry. I'm pretty sure I would have been burned as a Witch in previous times where Christians governed my area.

  A few years ago, I kind of volunteered to be the cyber security compliance expert in my company. Probably one of the best things I've done as far as career development, and technical learning. Similarly I once volunteered to be the HDMI/HDCP compliance expert. And I actually hate rules. Violate them all the time. But I want to know what they are. Also, engineers need rules to constrain their solution space, it inspires creativity, efficiency, and opportunities for chaos.

  I don't have any kids that I know of, but all the people who played these games on these platforms ran software I helped create. I could tell some stories...

  I've noticed that several times, I've enjoyed intimate, non-sexual experiences with women I will never meet again. What does that say about me, and how much would I have to pay a therapist to find out ?

  I can recall in the mid 1970's because of the "Arab Oil Embargo" that our local elementary school system in Akron County, OH, implemented closure of half our school buildings to conserve energy, and we had half day class in our school, the other half was for the closed down school students. Carter wearing a sweater. And that was normal. I wonder who recalls that too.

  I had the thought of creating a Polymarket bet that : Iran would accept a cease-fire in exchange for us giving them Trump and Netanyahu as compensation for their leaders. I would love to see that play out. And I'd take the deal on behalf of the USA.

  A hill I will die on that C++ "Exceptions" are an abomination. This extends a HW-oriented concept which was already bad, made you do horrible things to the stack, then extended it to higher-level software. Unwinding a C++ exception is too much work to compensate for bad error handling discipline.

  The press is the representative of the US people. That's what the 1st Amendment is all about. Disrespecting the press, disparaging them, hurling insults and innuendo during a WH press conference is the same as directing those comments toward US citizens, like myself. Fuck completely off, WH Press Secretary wearing a fake cross. The Executive Branch works for the people in our system, and the press is there to demand, not request, answers on our behalf.
