Trump administration won’t tap emergency funds to pay food aid
Grace Yarrow and Meredith Lee Hill, Staff Writers - Politico
Stephan: The sheer nastiness of Trump and the Republican Party is beyond my comprehension. What kind of person doesn’t care that fellow Americans won’t get enough to eat? Yet that is what is going to happen Saturday unless something changes.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org First time I heard about eCall. I don’t think I like this. 🫤 Feels like another attempt at going for complete surveillance. Yes, yes, it’s about “security”/“safety” … it always is.
Simple, minimal SQL database migrations written in Go with generics. Std lib database/sql and SQLX supported OOTB
I built GoSMig for personal projects and open-sourced it. It’s a tiny library for writing migrations in Go (compile-time checks via generics). Supports both transactional and non-transactional steps, rollback, status/version commands, and a built-in CLI handler so you can ship your own tool.
- Zero dependencies (std lib; golang.org/x/term used for pager support)

Trump’s EV retreat is a huge win for his No. 1 trade rival
Allison Morrow, Reporter - CNN
_Stephan: Because Trump, his vassals, and the Republican Party think climate change is not real, and just a “con”, America is going backwards, while China is being handed world leadership of the EV transition. It is just one of a dozen other trends reducing the geopolitical stature and economic success of the United States. Yet millions of Americans still don’t get what Trump … ⌘ Read more

Thom Hartmann, Commentator - Raw Story

Windows 11, now with even more “AI” where you don’t want it
Microsoft has posted a blog post about detailing its latest round of additions to Windows 11, and as will surely not surprise you, it’s “AI”, all the time, whether you like it or not. I’m not even going to detail most of these “features”, as I’m sure most of them will just become yet another series of checkboxes on whatever debloating tool you prefer. Still, there’s one recurring theme running throughout Microsoft’s … ⌘ Read more

An initial investigation into WDDM on ReactOS
One of the problems the ReactOS project continually has to deal with is that Windows is, of course, an evolving, moving target. Trying to be a Windows-compatible operating system means you’re going to have to tie that moving target down, and for ReactOS, the current focus is on being compatible with Windows Server 2003 “or later”. This “or later” part is getting a major boost in a very crucial area. The history of ReactOS spans a wider rang … ⌘ Read more
What’s your go-to strategy for giving engineers access to production?
I’ve been in this field for almost 15 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen two companies handle this the same way
Some other places just hand out just-in-time database access with short-lived credentials, others rely on rigid role-based permission, and others go all in on anonymized data dumps or shadow environments to avoid prod access altogether

Big tech is faking revenue
Open AI has recently announced deals worth $600 Billion with Nvidia, AMD, and Oracle. OpenAI is able to spend hundreds of billions of dollars they do not have because those companies are paying that same money back to OpenAI via investment.
