It’s not often the Premier of New South Wales says something that changes the political debate in the UK and elsewhere, but so it is this week. Following the awful carnage on Bondi Beach, NSW Premier Chris Minns gave a press conference about new legal restrictions on speech, and said this:
“I acknowledge that we don’t have the same free speech rules that they have in the United States and I make no apologies for that, we have got a responsibility to knit together our community, that comes from different races and religions.”
Nor was this a one off, he has said exactly this before, several times – perhaps most pithily in March when he phrased it thus:
“I’ve fully said from the beginning that we don’t have the same freedom of speech laws that they have in the US, and the reason for that is that we want to hold together a multicultural community.”
This is such a startling admission that I confess,when I first heard it,that I did that meme where the guy blinks twice in bemused surprise.Because,of course, what Premier Minns came right out and said is what many people across the“free-speaking”Western world have suspected for a long time.
The sun is shining in a clear blue sky. Very soothing for the soul. I had a short Boxing Day bimble through a neighbour’s woodland and down to the river. I must escape here more often.

Superman and Lois Lane are opening Christmas presents. Lois Lane opens hers and its a lump of coal. She's very disappointed. Superman says "Sorry, that's a diamond I bought from Ikea."
Merry Christmas to everybody, except that dude who works for Elastic, who decided to drop an unauthenticated exploit for MongoDB (basically MySQL) on Christmas Day, that leaks memory and automates harvesting secrets (e.g. database passwords)
I noticed in my nvi here on FreeBSD that `gJ` still adds/normalizes a space when joining. If there's no trailing whitespace on the current line and there is no leading whitespace on the next line, it adds a space; If there's trailing whitespace on the currently line, and none on the next, it joins without adding extra spaces, and if there's no trailing whitespace on the current line, and leading whitespace on the next line, it normalizes that leading whitespace down to a single space before joining.
Has this changed in more recent versions?
As a side note, since "j" is also an ex-mode command to join lines, I'd normally do that ":2"-followed by "J" as
:2;+j
I'm not sure it saves any keystrokes there, but for longer ranges, it can be easier. It's also useful in :g commands like
Thanks for the note -- you’re right. I tested this on nvi here as well and confirmed that gJ still normalizes whitespace, consistent with historical vi behavior.
I’ve updated the cheatsheet to clarify this and to point readers to Ex-mode joins (:j, :j!, :2;+j, :g/…/.;+j) when more precise control is needed.
the choice between being chained to mainstream social media because that's where all the people are at, or being free on fedi but with little to no reach
I don't care for reach personally, but I've seen many amazing artists (like example above) bemoan being stuck with twitter because they depend on reach for their livelihood. when you suggest fedi art servers, they inevitably say "ok but no one is on there. how can I expand my fanbase to garner support and commissions?"
and so they keep dragging along with the ball and chain...
@apicultor “the best” heavily depends on your personal use case. All these devices serve different use cases. None of them can do everything.
Regarding the Charger Labs Power-Z KM003C (not pictured): For testing USB Type-C cable-eMarkers, and enumerating fast charge protocols of a charger I find it to be very convenient and worth the price. I would recommend it for that use case.
what would really complete the civic turbo build, is a microcontroller that monitors knock, oil pressure, and fuel pressure, with a little OLED display, that flashes a big warning and an audible alarm when any of these are out of range
the obd1 modded ECU i have in there doesn't even monitor the knock sensor, which is kind of a drag if you want to do stuff like not melt your pistons. i want something that is going to automatically retard timing or cut boost. the engine itself has a knock sensor just the older swapped ECU doesn't handle the signal
i am glad i installed that exhaust gas temp sensor cause i am seeing those egt's spike up to 950c which is engine damage territory. i think timing may be too retarded
also you wouldn't happen to know if they support dual-esim would you? allegedly that's something the carrier has to enable maybe (info online about this is very unclear)
The Sri Lankan organization Global South Anti-Imperialist Alliance has urged the United Nations to intervene immediately in light of the military threat currently posed by the United States against Venezuela.
I found a sensory toy fidget I've never seen before. The manufacturer has a top tier toy safety certification, ethical manufacturing, and it's their original design that no one else has. The fidget itself has been tested and certified for safety. I love selling hard to find fidgets. It's basically like a silicone worry stone ball and good for all ages. Normally I order product samples but I'd have to wait until after the Chinese new year, so I think I'll go ahead and just bulk buy it.
Score! The manufacturer had more original designs sensory toys, both different types of sensory bracelets. One bracelet has 5 different texture variants to choose from, and the other sensory bracelet has 6 different textures to choose from. So instead of different color variants, these are different colors but each texture is a different color. All certified for safety for children of all ages. Since the manufacturer designed them, they are truly one of a kind fidgets.
So all together including texture variants of the 2 bracelets and color variants of the worry stone ball, got 300 new CPC certified fidgets for children of all ages, and adults will like them too! It's far more affordable to buy directly from the manufacturer instead of a supplier middle man.
No better way to show my commitment to the safety of children and teens than selling sensory toy fidgets certified for safety.
Is it CE marked? If so, ask them for their Certificate of Conformity, and follow up with the Notified Body that issued that certificate to ensure it's legit. Also verify which standards (listed on the Certificate) it claims to be compliant with.

Greenland did not drift into American stewardship by accident. It arrived there because Denmark dropped it. That fact is routinely obscured by euphemism and sentiment, but it is the hinge on which the entire moral and legal argument turns. In April 1940 Denmark was occupied by Nazi Germany. Copenhagen fell in hours. Its government capitulated and chose accommodation over resistance.
Danish state institutions continued to function under German supervision, cooperating administratively and economically with the occupying power. Its armed forces stood down. And its far flung colony in the Arctic was abruptly severed from the metropole. No money. No ships. No defense. No instructions. Denmark did not merely lose control of Greenland. It relinquished it, while collaborating under and alongside a hostile regime, in every way that matters.

I don't want to call anybody out, and it's not really important that one person did this as this is going to be a be a general problem going forward.
The increasing popularity of "editing" features in generative AIs is going to lead to a lot of people thinking it is harmless to use it to upscale or contrast-adjust historical media.
This is now a false artifact. Expect the internet to become crawling with them. Everything you can think of that some well-meaning person might want to "clean up" before posting, be it comics, news clippings, album art, what have you, is now subject to being replaced with a very similar but entirely different version.
the expressions are significantly different - the original, no smiling is evident, it’s a serious concern. The polluted version, it’s all through cheesy smiles, it’s as if they’re saying and listening the same message sarcastically.
The earlier problems that GenAI like midjourney, dall-e and stable diffusion had, like including too many fingers on incoherent hands have been manually corrected using a big hammer to shoehorn such special cases into expected behaviour, but we stand no hope when it comes to expressions. Even actual people can’t easily divulge subtle microexpressions which took the technology of film or video to be able to discover, and for most normal people it is still not a thing to be aware of.
Microexpressions to my mind are also side-related to the concept of photogenic people. I used to work in photography and magazine design in glamour magazines and the topic of photogenic models often used to crop up (usually when talking to outside people) and my personal theory is that a photogenic model is probably going to be a fairly uncomplicated person who doesn’t display a lot of conflicting microexpressions in a way which many other people might do because they’ve got lots of things in their head to be balancing out at this moment.
I predict we’ll see visual products of genAI producing nothing but happy simple basic people everywhere with absolutely nothing going on between the ears – basically, airheads. Nothing but airheads. Even expressions that aren’t happy, whichever expression it is, anger, shock, straining, whatever, it’ll be a full-on whatever it is expression with no hint of anything else conflicting with it. Basic. This person is an airhead.
ughh. Okay, here’s the media-specific tells I can see: paper color is weird grey texture, edge effect in middle panel isn’t constructable with screentones, wood grain in final panel *way* too detailed (maybe could have been a screentone?)
Apostophe police here- I'd like to arrest this AI for removing a perfectly placed apostrophe, and causing a spelling mistake. But what's with every person's face having to have a smile? Utter shite.
One of my sons, who cleans up old comics of fading, coffee stains, rips and the like by hand - pixel by pixel with only a commitment to the truth of the original, would be appalled.

If you use TTCom with the Dwcom plugin and were struggling running it from source, I have compiled TTCom with the plugin for easier access. I have included links to both the TTCom user guide and the Dwcom GitHub repository if you need to learn how TTCom or the plugin works. Enjoy! jonathanr.me/files/dwcom_compi…
If you tried to use the compiled TTCom with the plugin and speech wasn't working, please redownload. I forgot to include the libraries for accessible_output3. Also, since there's no default soundpack yet, here are all of the files you can use for your soundpack. It doesn't matter which file extension you use. broadcast, channel, channelcreate, channelremove, channelupdate, fileadd, fileremove, filetransfer, filetransfercomplete, in, join, kicked, leave, message, out, serverupdate, status, user
How exactly did you compile TTCom with the plugin? Because I once tried running pyinstaller ttcom.py with another plugin called TTCom Soundspeech, but when I ran the resulting ttcom.exe, it gave me a ModuleNotFoundError.
For Poltergeist III, there is the theory that Heather O'Rourke died due to being sexually used/raped/etc. She was only 12.
I also saw that she was misdiagnosed as having Crohn's disease. Her cheeks were way puffed out, because she was on a steroids med. A nurse in comments chimed in about it.
My younger sister was also on steroids for a year, because she had the dangerous condition of blood not clotting. Luckily, the condition passed, and she ended up fine.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva stated today that Brazil has regained international respect and admiration in 2025, highlighting the milestone of nine million foreign tourists and the success of COP30.
