NIH Institute Director Abruptly Replaced
Kristina Fiore,   Director of Enterprise & Investigative Reporting  -  MedPage Today

_Stephan: It should be clear to you and anyone else paying any attention to what is going on, that fascists such as Trump and the Republican Party at both the state and federal level, care not all about the wellbeing of ordinary Americans. The already very poor, very expensive, healthcare system in the United States has been gutted, as you may be about to find … ⌘ Read more

Chicago-Area Judge Rules ICE Agents Can Be Arrested at Courthouses
Warner Todd Huston,  Contributing Writer  -  Breitbart

_Stephan: AS we go through the dismantlement of democracy in the United States, what we are seeing is people of integrity standing up for the law and ethical behavior, and the Trump coup vassals, doing what their pseudo-king desires of them. In this case, a District Court judge has authorized police to arrest Trump’s ICE Gestapo if they d … ⌘ Read more

ICE Is Mounting a Mass Surveillance Campaign on American Citizens
Autumn Billings ,  Assistant Editor  -  reason

_Stephan: In every country ruled by an authoritarian dictator, one of the hallmarks of such societies is the surveillance of the citizenry, to control any resistance to the leader’s authority. Well, now that reality has come to the United States. I’m not sure how I will get to my daughter’s wedding. I have been warned not to fly or go through any g … ⌘ Read more

Tuckr - Stow alternative with symlink checking
I’ve been using Stow for a few years now. At the time (2020) Stow had a bug where it would just fail with a cryptic error and the maintainer didn’t have time to fix it, the bug was there for 2 years or so. So I got fed up and decided to try and fix it but I didn’t know perl nor did I want to learn it, so I decided to rewrite Stow and fix the issue. To fix it I decided that I track all symlinks and give users a nice way to see what was going on. So the entire project was based on having a n … ⌘ Read more

Pentagon names new press corps from far-right outlets after reporter walkout
Eric Berger,  Contributing Journalist  -  The Guardian (U.K.)

Stephan: It is no longer going to be possible to believe or trust any media coverage coming out of the Pentagon, as this British article reports, because the free press has been replaced by fascist media reporters. Essentially, the United States has become the media equivalent of Russia or North Korea.

Simple, minimal SQL database migrations written in Go with generics. Std lib database/sql and SQLX supported OOTB

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

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.

Blueberry— how it started, how it’s going ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m pretty sure that’s going to happen at some point or has already happened. 😃 Is this “the dark web”? 😅

It happened.

“Can you help me debug this program? I vibe coded it and I have no idea what’s going on. I had no choice – learning this new language and frameworks would have taken ages, and I have severe time constraints.”

Did I say “no”? Of course not, I’m a “nice guy”. So I’m at fault as well, because I endorsed this whole thing. The other guy is also guilty, because he didn’t communicate clearly to his boss what can be done and how much time it takes. And the boss and his bosses are guilty a lot, because they’re all pushing for “AI”.

The end result is garbage software.

This particular project is still relatively small, so it might be okay at the moment. But normalizing this will yield nothing but garbage. And actually, especially if this small project works out fine, this contributes to the shittiness because management will interpret this as “hey, AI works”, so they will keep asking for it in future projects.

How utterly frustrating. This is not what I want to do every day from now on.
