🔮 👁 - Stephen Miller, Trumps stellvertretender Stabschef und Berater fĂŒr Heimatschutz, ist mehr als nur der Architekt der unmenschlichen US-Einwanderungspolitik: Er ist auch persönlich finanziell daran beteiligt. Miller gab bekannt, Aktien von #Palantir im Wert von 100.001 bis zu einer Viertelmillion Dollar zu besitzen. Thiels Palantir ist eng mit der US-Einwanderungs- und Zollbehörde (ICE) verflochten und wird von anderen Bundesbehörden wie dem Pentagon genutzt.

Surprise: Trump's Iran bombing did NOT destroy Iran's nuclear program, says new Pentagon analysis.

But this information is wrong according to the Fox news host, Trump hired to cosplay as Minister of Defence.

FOSS stack for MIDI composition


I want to put together a stack for hobbyist midi music composition. I understand there are a few more components to it than one might expect, but I think VMPK and Qtracer are going to be part of it?

Any tutorial links or suggestions appreciated!

Whatever you end up using, have JACK sync 'em up. I used to have two Macs, one for recording with Nuendo and one for doing MIDI sequencing and programming. They synced via MIDI sync and there was always issues. Now I have everything on one Linux machine (Ardour records and mixes, Reaper sequences MIDI and Renoise does beats and other sampling related stuff) and with JACK the sync is seamless ❀

Hvis man kunne lave afstemninger herinde, hvilket man desvĂŠrre ikke kan pt., ville jeg sĂ„ lige spĂžrge, om det er god idĂ©, dĂ„rlig idĂ© eller ligegyldigt. 😀

Ift. hvordan man gÞr, sÄ kan man, nÄr man er i gang med et opslag, tilfÞje en sÄdan baggrund ved at trykke pÄ denne nye knap, og sÄ skal man sÄ skrive teksten man Þnsker fremhÊvet inden for den "boks", sÄ at sige:

every fucking war, every fucking failure of public health, every instance of police brutality and impunity, every labor and human rights issue in the US is a bipartisan issue. How DARE you spit out ignorant propaganda about this today, after Biden started a fucking *genocide*, shielded the killers, protected them from trials, declared COVID over, etc.

Fuck you and every person like you.

Key nuclear claim behind war comes from Palantir algorithm en.reseauinternational.net/lal


"This non-ruling will go down in history as one of the most shameful and horrific rulings from the Supreme Court. We’re talking Dred Scott/Plessy v. Ferguson/Korematsu bad. An obviously horrific decision that attacks human rights and basic due process for no reason
 and totally without explanation."

because people from the global south are nothing more than rhetorical constructs to liberals

Screenshot of a Tumblr post by imsobadatnicknames2:

"A couple years later it's still amazing what a perfect distillation the original 'anonymized people of the global south' tweet is of the absolute callousness of yankee liberals;

(Screenshot of a Twitter post by @loudpenitent: "An anonymized 'people of the global south' is not worth more than domestic queer citizens or any other member of any other marginalized community - or, bluntly, any fellow citizen at all. Real-ass human beings matter more than rhetorical constructs.") (end of Twitter screenshot, back to imsobadatnicknames2’s commentary);

If I wrote a character saying this into a piece of media about how much americans suck it'd be too on the nose."

The Differences Between Asphalt Batch Mix Plant and Asphalt Drum Mix Plant?


Asphalt Batch Mix Plant After being poured into suitable hoppers according to the particle size, the cold aggregates are conveyed by a conveyor belt to a vibrating screen, where the cold aggregates with particle size larger than 4 cm are filtered out, and other cold aggregates are sent to the drying drum by a diagonal belt conveyor. Hot aggregates enter the elevator from the burner end of the drying drum after being dried and heated. With its help, hot aggregates reach the vibrating screens. Depending on the size of the mesh, hot aggregates are sieved to different silos. Through accurate weighing, the hot aggregates in different silos are batched into the mixer according to the ratio designated ahead. At some time, the mineral powder also falls from the screw conveyor, and the heated liquid bitumen also sprays from the nozzle. After mixing, the finished mixture is produced one batch by another.
Asphalt Drum Mix PlantThe drying drum of the continuous asphalt plant has functions of drying, heating, and stirring. The cold aggregates go into the non-stop rotating drum from the hoppers via a conveyor belt, in which cold aggregates are dried and heated in sequence. The nozzle in the drying drum continuously sprays the bitumen, and the mixture comes out unintermittedly with the drum rotating.

We can all collectively thank Reagan, among other terrible things we have to deal with today due to his administration, he is also responsible for the state of news media in the US in 2025. Previous to Reagan we had a policy called The Fairness Doctrine, it was a policy introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints. Broadcasters could show opposing viewpoints via option pieces, news segments or talk shows, but if they reported on one side they were required to show the other.

In 1987 under Reagan the FCC abolished the Fairness Doctrine. Broadcasters were no longer required to air apposing viewpoints of controversial topics. This has directly lead to the echo chambers that you see in the news media today.

Can we appreciate how horny everyone is for Mario in TTYD?


So I am playing through Paper Mario TTYD on my Switch for the first time. I never played these games growing up, and while I kinda enjoyed the Super Mario RPG remake for its quirkiness, I strongly believe that if you don’t have specific nostalgia for it, it just doesn’t hit the same.

TTYD is great. It’s so fun and captures a sense of adventure, with big swings from light hearted comedy into some dark territories. I was not expecting that, but I absolutely was not expecting just how horny everyone seems to be for Marty-o!

All the ladies swoon and mention how manly he is, commenting on his moustache. I was not expecting this coming from a Nintendo game. It’s pretty funny and I love it!

This project is coming along nicely.

A modified Barracuda in the wild.

It will be my OPNsense router for my new business location. I very much enjoy piecing together old hardware to make something useful or interesting.

The chassis is a salvaged Barracuda BSF200a appliance. Stripped most of what was in there out, leaving the power supply. Replaced the motherboard with Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI - this was chosen due to the dual GbE network ports.

Low profile cooler (heatsink) came from a SuperMicro motherboard combo that I ordered from ebay. Kingston 120GB SSD came from local recycling.

Processor is i3-3220T - a lower power option than the processor that I originally got with the motherboard.

Blower fan is from a Dell Optiplex SFF machine, placed upside down, cushioned with foam and hot-glued in place.

It is a thoroughly custom solution built from parts I acquired from many sources.

ooh, new dark pattern I discovered today.

Stuck with MS Teams at $DAYJOB, I continue to hold onto the thick-client instead of succumbing to the heavy-weight web client.

Just about every time I switch to the app after a couple hours of not using it, it pops up a "This is unsupported" interruption with a link to learn more, HUGE, colorful "Try it on the web" button, and a smaller light "continue using this antiquated unsupported piece of junk" type button.

As if that wasn't bad enough, as dark patterns go, when you tab through the controls, focus lands on the "more information" link and on the "try it on the web" button, but the "continue using this" simply won't focus with the keyboard. You HAVE to reach for the mouse to click the "continue using this"

Have I mentioned how much I loathe using MS products, and Teams in particular?

Israel threatens to assassinate Khamenei if he does not agree to a ceasefire on its terms middleeastmonitor.com/20250624


Far from abating or slowing down, the mass slaughter, displacement and engineered starvation of the besieged Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip has continued at full throttle since Israel began attacking Iran two weeks ago.

But instead of this issue taking centre stage the deliberate destruction of Gaza has been reduced, at best, to a passing statistic tallying daily deaths.

At worst, it has been ignored altogether.

"BREAKING: The British government is now warning that people must prepare for "wartime scenario" on British soil.
What's going on? " WTH?

Sweden is preparing to go after Russia in Baltic, said they have plenty of allies. It's touting a mighty military and said, "We 're banking on the fact that Putin won't attack them back." SMH.

Agents burst into Peter Sweden's house, too, and trashed it.
