Remember kids, there are no good cops. Only bad cops that sometimes might do something good. (And this wasn't it.)
All cops are bastards, and fuck the ever-loving-fucking Police because the only good cop is one that been tased for 30 seconds straight causing them to lose their balance and fall off a building, landing on their neck, breaking their neck, and resulting in permanent paralysis. All before their buddies toss their mangled body around inflicting even more injuries. #ACAB #FTP old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakou…

Enver Hoxha: As a result of the implementation of the correct revolutionary Marxist-Leninist line of the Bolshevik Party led by Stalin, the socialist transformations throughout the country were successfully carried out within a short period of time, the backwardness inherited from the Czarist regime was liquidated, and the Soviet Union was transformed into a powerful socialist State with modern industry, with a large-scale collectivized agriculture, with a most advanced technology and science, with a tremendous economic and military potential. The great historic victory over fascism in the years of the Second World War was achieved and the role and importance of the Soviet country in international life grew considerably. The consolidation and growth of the influence of the communist movement in the world, the creation and consolidation of the socialist camp after the Second World War, the general weakening of the positions of international imperialism and the great successes in the development of the world proletarian revolution are due, to a considerable extent, to the internationalist revolutionary line consistently implemented by J.V. Stalin. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

@zephyrotv negative. The Coachella Valley is a mob neutral zone. It’s where they vacation with their families. Like the Continental Hotel in the John Wick movies.
Have you ever wished you could write simple CSS to declare a color, and then have the browser figure out whether black or white should be paired with that color?
Dix détenus palestiniens, dont un homme amputé d'une jambe, sont arrivés à l'hôpital Shuhada Al-Aqsa de Deir Al-Balah, au centre de la bande de Gaza, après avoir été libérés des camps de détention et de torture israéliens.
@nanook the idea of distinct generations is extremely useful for dividing us and furthering the culture war that distracts too many from the people and policies privatizing profits and socializing losses.
Found in Naomi Klein's Doppelganger. The one lesson I wish the modern left would internalize more than anything.
Use shared language.
Don't use lefty jargon when the person you're talking to doesn't subscribe to these ideas. No white privilege, no colonial oppression, no intersectionality. Translate to a shared language, built on reasonable, common assumptions and do the work required to bring people on board.
Because you can be damned sure the MAGA crowd are doing the work.
This is not just about the alienating effect of jargon (like you normally get in science communication). It's also about sneaking unshared assumptions into the conversation.
You can be talking about Gaza to somebody who is absolutely hoffirifed by Israel's actions, but if you frame the whole thing as colonial oppression you can still lose them.
They will detach from the conversation because they don't share that particular perspective and you didn't make room discuss that assumption.
this is lovely. does she also write about how the left is so judgy/self-righteous and how that is where the lingo comes from? an objectification of the other.

If someone posts a detailed explanation for why a thing that the current administration is doing is foolish, or misguided, or illegal, or whatever, it is NOT reasonable to assume or infer that that person things the thing they posted about is the only, or the worst, or the most important, fault they find with the administration. They are much more likely simply providing an insight about a specific thing.
it's selective too, no one batted an eye at the multiple discussions about the technical aspects of DOGE's actions, because most of the community here is IT adjacent. Other expertises get silenced
indeed. there are so many disasters happening simultaneously that i really appreciate focus and clarity on the one issue they're detailing. anyone who needs it pointed out that one disaster isn't the only bad thing happening is either clueless or a troll.
man oh man, do I fucking know this one, and dread how much worse it's going to be. I am literally an expert on internet providers. Any explanation of *why* they're suddenly merging into monopolies at the regime's behest is already just getting "BUT MONOPOLY ILLEGAL!! IT'S MARKET MANIPULATION!!"
No shit "monopoly illegal!" That is not why they are ordering these companies to merge!
I’ve been writing short spoiler-free reviews of the current seasons of Doctor Who each (for me) Sunday morning, having watched the show Saturday (evening). Last week, I had a bit of blank on the title of the episode: was it the Story Engine…no…not quite. Rather than tie myself in knots I just googled it. “doctor who recent episode”.
Google came back with an answer: Castrovalva: Part One, Doctor Who Season 117, episode 1. It had a little picture of Peter Davison next to it. Observant readers will spot that Peter Davison is not Ncuti Gatwa, Castrovalva was broadcast 43 years ago and that, while long running, Doctor Who has not had 117 seasons. The best we can say about the google results is that Castrovalva was at some point in time the most recent episode of Doctor Who.
Stupidly, I typed in a similar query this morning for a similar reason. Actually, this was more stupid as I was pretty sure of the title and I should have known better after last week.
“doctor who recent episode” – yup there again right at the top Castrovalva. The next hit was to Wikipedia’s list of Doctor Who episodes (2005-present), which at least was a useful link and would get to the right answer.
“doctor who most recent episode” – The Vanquishers, Doctor Who: Season 13, Episode 6. That is an improvement: right century, right decade but four years old. You can kind of see how the mistake happened. The Vanquishers was the last episode of a proper season for the Jodie Whittaker Doctor in 2021, followed by a set of special in 2022, then the David Tennant specials (on Disney) in 2023, before Ncuti Gatwa’s arrival. Disney list Gatwa’s 2024 season as “season one” and maybe that is confusing Google – particularly if it thinks Castrovalva was season 117.
OK, let me be MORE specific Google. “doctor who most recent episode this year” Only by adding an actual year, do we get close: “doctor who most recent episode in 2025” has a top hit for a Cosmopolitan article listing when the 2025 episodes come out. If I scroll down further on the page, there is a video link to “The Making of The Interstellar Song Contest | FULL EPISODE …”
Part of the problem appears to be the word “recent”.
“doctor who latest episode” works a lot better as a query. Three of the four “Top stories” are to this week’s episode and one to last weeks, which is a big improvement. However, featured on the right side is The Vanquishers again. But Google is very sensitive to which word you use. For example, try “what are the new doctor who episodes” and Google proudly tells me The Power of the Daleks – which is from 1966. Now, again, this absurd result isn’t wholly random. This is one of the missing serials but an animated version was released in 2016.
“newest doctor who episode”? Vanquishers again.
“new doctor who episode”? Power of the Daleks again
“doctor who new episode today” – a result! The AI Overview pops up and says: “Yes, a new episode of Doctor Who, “The Interstellar Song Contest,” will be released today, May 18, 2025. It’s the sixth episode of season 15 and features Freddie Fox, Rylan Clark, and other guest stars.”
OK but maybe Doctor Who is inherently confusing for a search engine. It’s been running for longer than I’ve been alive and people are still talking about old episodes. There are different ways seasons and episodes have been numbered and there have been “new” releases of old episodes. It’s got to be hard for any search engine, right?
Here is Duck Duck Go with the same search term that beffudled Google: See, it really isn’t THAT hard. “doctor who recent episode”on Duck Duck Go, tells me up front that it is The Interstellar Song Contest.
So what is going on? I assume LLM shenanigans at Google but actually only one of those searches triggered Google’s “AI Overview” and in that case it did get the right answer. Also, while LLM’s a have a huge pile of problems, parsing a natural language question and identifying the most likely appropriate response SHOULD be something that Google got better at with LLMs. This kind of stuff, in theory, should be the best use case for LLMs.
Duck Duck Go, got the right answer the first time but what about the bigger commercial contender to Google, Microsoft’s Bing?
Bing does massively better than Google with “doctor who recent episode” but not as well as Duck Duck Go. It doesn’t suggest a title but the top result is to a Den of Geek article on last week’s episode. So not right but close enough to not look absurd.
“doctor who most recent episode” for Bing gives the answer 73 Yards, which is a year out but again, not an absurd answer.
“doctor who most recent episode”for Duck Duck Go serves up an ad link to Paramount’s streaming service first and then generic Doctor Who links. So not great but at least doesn’t confidently announce a definitive wrong answer.
“doctor who latest episode” for Bing does fairly well. No direct answer up front but all the top links are to articles about last night’s episode. There is an AI overview which doesn’t say the episode title but is discussing the right episode.
“doctor who latest episode” for Duck Duck Go again gets the answer correct and up front (i.e. the correct title is the first thing you see on the page).
I’d been meaning to switch the default search on my browser from Google for awhile and just inertia had prevented me. Based on this accidental experiment, Duck Duck Go appears to be the best option.

The gist of it is this: Amazon S3 has encrypted objects at rest automatically, by default since January 2023. Not only is there nothing for you to do to make your objects encrypted, you can't stop objects from being encrypted. All you can do is choose keys. 17 years of blog posts and documentation saying you must DO something to encrypt your data at rest means that LLMs will give you incorrect instructions on S3 security. Probably forever.
It reiterates my point: You can't use an LLM to do something that you don't know how to do without the LLM.
Ask an LLM for any information on how to do security in Amazon S3, and you’ll get a bunch of crap. There just happens to be this one change to how S3 works that shows clearly the effect of frequency on LLM training data.

"Comment l’Occident a amené la guerre en Ukraine" de Benjamin #Abelow, #2022 (Downloadable in English, French, Deutsch)
Comprendre comment les politiques des #États-Unis et de l’ #OTAN ont conduit à la crise, la guerre, et au risque d’une catastrophe nucléaire. Ce livre fournit de nombreux éléments nécessaires pour comprendre pourquoi cette guerre était largement évitable, mais est devenue inévitable en raison des actions politiques de l’OTAN. Bien que sa brièveté l’empêche d’entrer dans les détails ou de prendre en compte toutes les sources sur le sujet, il s’agit d’un ouvrage très accessible qui expose les arguments les plus importants concernant les nombreuses provocations occidentales à l’encontre de la #Russie. Livre à acheter sur Amazon https://www.amazon.fr/Comment-lOccident-amené-guerre-Ukraine/dp/099107677X ou à télécharger gratuitement (en anglais, français ou allemand) sur le site de l'auteur: benjaminabelow.com/download/
"Très bon travail... Les faits passés en revue méritent d'être mieux connus." /Noam #Chomsky/
“Une explication brillante et remarquablement concise du danger créé par l’implication militaire des États-Unis et de l’OTAN en #Ukraine. Un livre qui devrait être lu et médité par tout citoyen capable de penser rationnellement et de manière responsable à la sécurité américaine et européenne.” /Jack F. Matlock, Jr., ancien ambassadeur des États-Unis en Union soviétique, auteur de Superpower Illusions/
“C’est un livre tellement important. Je l’ai lu trois fois. Il est d’une extraordinaire clarté non seulement de langage mais aussi de pensée. Je ne saurais trop le recommander.” /Robert F. #Kennedy Jr./
“Pour toute personne intéressée par la compréhension des véritables causes de la catastrophe en Ukraine, Comment l’Occident a amené la guerre en Ukraine est une lecture obligée. Abelow démontre clairement et de manière convaincante que les États-Unis et leurs alliés de l’OTAN— et non Vladimir #Poutine — sont les principaux responsables.” /John J. #Mearsheimer, auteur de The Tragedy of Great Power Politics, est Professeur émérite de Science politique à l’Université de Chicago/
“C’est un magnifique petit livre, bien écrit, organisé logiquement, facile à lire et convaincant, mais avec les réserves qui s’imposent. Il s’agit d’une introduction inestimable aux tendances et aux événements qui ont mené à l’escalade et la guerre en Ukraine. Sans compréhension de l’histoire documentée dans ce livre, il n’y aura pas de désescalade dans la confrontation américanorusse aux frontières orientales de l’Europe.” / Chas #Freeman, ancien Secrétaire adjoint à la Défense pour les Affaires de sécurité internationale, auteur de Arts of Power: Statecraft and Diplomacy/
“Pour ceux qui se soucient de la sécurité nationale des États-Unis et de la paix en Europe, ce livre est une lecture essentielle.” / Le Colonel Douglas #Macgregor de l’Armée américaine (à la retraite), auteur de Margin of Victory, qui a été décoré pour bravoure lors de la bataille de 73 Easting en Irak et a été Directeur du Centre d’opérations interarmées de l’OTAN au SHAPE (Grand quartier général des puissances alliées en Europe)

If I want to install something, I can either do "dnf install [program name]" or "flatpak install [program name]". Same goes for when I want to remove a program. And for flatpak at least, I typed ONE WORD from a game I was uninstalling because I didn't remember to exact tag and flatpak asked me "do you want to install [full tag of game]? y/n" like HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE THAT IS SO CONVENIENT
Something else you can do. Install oh-my-bash or oh-my-zsh, either, with zoxide jump around. Any of the directories you visit are tracked and weighted with a frecency weighted value. Then all you need to do is type in parts of the name to go there.
For instance, if I had directories ~/code/dev_repo/project-one ~/code/dev_repo/project-two ~/code/dev_repo/project-three
Then you just type z dev one or z co re pro two You know, the parts of the directories you remember. The more you visit various directories and the more recent, the weighting is higher and the more likely you get the correct directory you want with even less and less characters. Also check out atuin it adds a fuzzy finding to your bash history or zsh history.
Some stuff is better, but I overall prefer chocolatey because it is closer to classic package manager experience. Winget will still open the installer windows of some applications. But you can use both, no need to decide for one, they install into the same directories and will manage the other's applications just fine (as they're all standard Windows installers).

In Istanbul, a door was pried open after a soap opera’s worth of chicanery in London, Paris, Berlin and Kiev. Now the question is what Trump can do to address Russia’s concerns.
