Occasional renewal of the prediction that Trump will not finish his term, and I think it's even plausible he'll be out by the midterms.
The current situation is unsustainable, even for the people who are benefiting most from it. Those people will, of course, try to keep him in place as long as they can, but it's a losing battle. With a lot of ugly tradeoffs in the meantime.
Sadly, Dem leadership are among the ones who believe they benefit. They don't even try to hide it. Schumer and Jeffries, like the fash faction and theocrat faction, want to keep Donny Littlehands in the Oval Office as long as possible, because they think that's what's best for them. Lesser techbros will start turning on Trump now, with Musk and Thiel paying the bills, but they can't do much harm without getting hurt back. And the bigger techbros (Goog, MS, FB, Apple, Amazon) are basically part of the Big Bidness faction. That faction isn't going to defect until the very very last minute.
BTW if you want to be horrified go look for Jeffries's response when a journalist asked if he was planning to do anything about Trump having crossed Jeffries's "red line" of congressional arrests. When I say he'll be much worse than Pelosi that's what I mean. Pelosi was good at procedure and knew how to use money to whip. The only things Jeffries is good at are passing the buck and reassuring donors.
That means the rest of us just have to hope we survive, and that midterms don't get derailed by a terrorist attack, and Trump doesn't get martyred in a way that cements GOP power, or any of a dozen other obvious that could wreck the possibility of Dems regaining control of one or both chambers.
@benda okay, fair.
I kinda felt like defending him with "yeah but what donors want now is probably for him to be as completely incompetent and useless as possible, like Schumer" but I get what a crappy defense that is 😁

fyi all you tech bros salivating over some kind of "ai assistant" that's intelligent enough to understand you and act on your desires, but for some reason doesn't need to be treated with respect or be given any sort of compensation at all...
hate to break it to you but you're reinventing something again, and it's definitely not something good

Been off my anti depressants since April now and now I feel like I've reached a state of craziness. I've developed an unhealthy obsession with someone (who hopefully doesn't know, but I did send a Facebook request), and am not sleeping at night. If I don't work through this over the weekend, I'm afraid it is back to the Zoloft for me.
Keep checking my fb to see if the request is accepted, and I'm guessing it will not be. Keep checking said persons active status on Teams at work. Keep trying to walk past said person. I am a psycho.
Also in the strangest coincidence, when I tried messaging said person at work, it actually failed to go through. You can't block internal people so that was fucking weird.

#fedihelp #javascript #regex #regularexpressions
someone please help me understand how this /regex/d bit of code works (links to a better resource than f'ing w3s also satisfactory).
w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?fil…
why does it not return, for example, "aaaabb"?
The W3Schools online code editor allows you to edit code and view the result in your browserwww.w3schools.com
you're specifically asking it to catch two a's (aa) followed by two b's (bb).
if you want it to catch an arbitrary number of a's followed by an arbitrary number of b's, you have to do (a+)(b+)
the + means one or more.
@notype
developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do…
If the g flag is not used, only the first complete match and its related capturing groups are returned.
It returns the first match (which is aabb) and its capturing groups, which in this case are (aa) (matching "aa") and (bb) (matching "bb").
The match() method of String values retrieves the result of matching this string against a regular expression.MDN Web Docs
@barubary to be honest, i'm not sure why they're trying to teach you to use the d modifier. it's not beginner stuff. i haven't ever used it.
developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do…
The hasIndices accessor property of RegExp instances returns whether or not the d flag is used with this regular expression.MDN Web Docs
@notype @barubary I came at this a different way, and wondered what the heck the /d modifier is doing. Turns out:
1) W3schools is completely wrong about what it does (shocker, I know 🙄); and
2) All it does is add a particular extra bit of information to the return value.
I'm getting my info from stackoverflow.com/a/73947884, to which I am greatly indebted, and major props to SO user Andrejs. I reproduced their work with the text and RE under consideration here. 1/2
I set txt to 'aaaabb', then ran these. Note that the only difference in output is the presence of an "indices" array when /d is used, and its absence otherwise. That is all.
I've been using JS professionally for 20 years now and never needed anything like /d. You can safely ignore it. 2/2

How it should have been:
Xorg and Wayland competing with one another to be the best. People choosing whatever they like like.
What's really happening:
Intentionally not merging pull requests that improve xorg. Closing merge requests and issues en mass. Apps dropping support for xorg and forcing people to use wayland.
Instead of "let the best person win", it's "let me win".
@istvan @bonifartius Support for more than 4GiB of memory on a system that runs many programs is necessary - after all a computer with the power to run 40,000 programs at the same time cannot do so if there is a 4GiB memory limit.
Although that can be achieved even on a 32 bit processor with nasty hacks, such kind of cruft is best avoided.
The x86 instruction set and the way arguments are passed is horrible - the AMD64 instruction set solves many of the issues and is quite pleasant in comparison.
The X32 ABI may be of interest to you, as that is mostly 64bit, except with 32bit pointers - meaning the AMD64 semantics can be used, but programs are limited to 4GiB of memory (but you can also run specialized software that needs more memory than that with 64 bit pointers too).
@istvan @bonifartius The best hardware for running free software is 64 bit - so that is not the reason.
UEFI and restricted boot are only a minor point on the spiral into proprietary hell - there are many worse things.

"Merz remains silent - Trump boasts about Nord Stream stop
🇺🇸💥 “I was the one who stopped Nord Stream 2. I sent this to Germany... I'm sorry - or not.” - Donald Trump, live in front of cameras.
📍 And sitting right next to him is German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Silent. In agreement. Not a word of indignation.
What does that mean?
➡️ The German chancellor sits wordlessly by as the former US president openly admits to destroying Europe's most important energy connection - and does so in a tone of mockery.
➡️ Trump makes it clear: it was never about freedom or security - it was about American gas, American interests and geopolitical control.
➡️ He even calls it part of a possible trade deal. Energy as a means of blackmail.
🇩🇪 Merz's silence is consent. The closest US ally in Europe - and no dissent, no “How dare you?”, no protection of German sovereignty.
❗️Was Is this a chancellor who sits next to someone who openly talks about sabotage - and who simply lets it stand?
❗️Was Is this a German foreign policy that allows the destruction of critical infrastructure to be publicly served up by its “partner” of all people?"

Sorry @realdonaldtrump, but it’s true. We voted for #DOGE changes, because all you have been offering of late is tired old platitudes and slavish devotion to #Zionists and #Zionist causes (because you likely feel you couldn’t have won without Adelson money). You don’t even measure up to your old tweets, which used to inspire. Instead, we get stump speeches for the likes of #LindseyGraham.There’s a reason “TACO” exists as an acronym now, and I was trading successfully with it long before the media pointed it out. You TACO’d during #Covid, you TACO’d on #J6, and you’re TACO’ing all the way through your second term thus far, as far as I can see right now.
It’s why you literally want to create a digital database of every American now, using a the technology developed by a company that was literally funded by #JeffreyEpstein – and let me guess, it will be used to root out “aNtIsEmiTiSm.”
The most effective rhetoric is always based in the truth. It only burns because it’s true. I have increasingly little sympathy for President Trump, even though he is a) the #greatest #US #president since #AndrewJackson and b) he faces a degree of difficulty much greater than anyone, including myself, is capable of understanding.
But it’s one thing to fail to end the #FederalReserve or #deport 50 million #foreigners, both of which would obviously be monumental tasks that would be difficult to accomplish. It’s another to fail to #prosecute anyone, from #JoeBiden and #HillaryClinton on down for their many #crimes against the #American #people, to refuse to step forward and simply tell the American people the whole truth about everything from #JFK to Jeffrey Epstein, and to refuse to shut down the #Kiev #regime’s ability to prolong its unwinnable war against #Russia.
There would be nothing easier than for #Trump to force Kiev to surrender. He could have ended the #war in 24 hours by announcing an end to all arms sales to any country that supplied Kiev with support, accompanied by 100 percent tariffs, US withdrawal from the #NATO treaty, and the immediate removal of all US troops from #Europe. Kiev and the #EU would have been begging #Putin to give them decent terms for surrender within 12 hours, and Putin would have given them a much better settlement than they’re going to end up with in 2026 after Russia takes the entire #BlackSea coast and all the land east of the #Dnieper.
But Trump chickened out.
If the President doesn’t want TACO to be his legacy, there is an easy solution. Do what you said you would do. Stop chickening out because some clown on your staff tells you it’s a bad idea. This isn’t that hard; the American people elected you, not anyone on your staff, or in the US military, or in an executive-branch agency, or at some conservative think tank.
And remember, it’s your legacy that will suffer, not theirs, when you take their bad advice.
Neon Revolt observes that the reason the TACO acronym has landed so powerfully is because President Trump has an observable pattern of reliably chickening out and failing to implement both his literal and implied promises: Sorry @realdonaldtrump, but…VD (Vox Popoli)
