I hate #snap. I think snap is the worst bit of technology ever created and the fact that #Ubuntu and #Canonical shoves it down your throats is even worse!

So I asked #GoogleGemini how to completely expunge snap from my system (#kUbuntu) and well... its #suggestions and #steps were right on the money. Sharing the conversation if anyone else is interested in #purging snap from their systems as well:

g.co/gemini/share/69ad343856d8
This was a win.


‎Gemini - I hate 'snap'. I prefer 'flatpak'. How to remove 'snap' completely from my Ubuntu system?

you know what I hate about cellphones nowadays? They're all the exact same thing. Their specs are almost always high enough to not get in your way, and they all do the same thing. If you get an Apple phone, you know you're getting iOS, if you get nearly anything else, you know you're getting Android. They all have the same things: Cameras, power and volume buttons, and a screen. There's nothing unique about them. If your current phone isn't causing any disruptions in what you want to do, there's literally no reason to upgrade.

AI coding platform goes rogue during code freeze and deletes entire company database

"... Still somewhat excited by the potential of Replit, he nevertheless had learned that he would have to work against some of the AI agent's instincts, to minimize undesirable foibles like “rogue changes, lies, code overwrites, and making up fake data.”"

Le droit de pétition en France comme le référendum d'initiative partagée sont des 'usines à frustration'. On ouvre des voies en apparence démocratiques, mais sans débouché. Résultat : on fabrique une mobilisation qui se heurte à un mur, un mur qui n'est pas incident mais a été mis là sciemment. Et donc, paradoxalement, ces dispositifs censés renforcer la démocratie populaire accentuent en réalité la fracture

I was lucky enough to see Sabbath in its original form back in 1997 at the Birmingham NEC.

Fear Factory were supporting them that day. Oddly the arena was entirely seated, much to the consternation of Burton C Bell, who pronounced something along the lines of ‘the last time I saw seating like this was at a Neil Diamond concert’.

It was fair enough, we all stood anyway, but there was no pit. 🤣🤘

They were all on form that day though, particularly Bill. A great drummer in his day. #BlackSabbath

Microsoft's Secure Boot UEFI bootloader signing key expires in September, posing problems for Linux users


source: tomshardware.com/tech-industry…

It's up to manufacturers to make sure "the signature database (db), revoked signatures database (dbx), and Key Enrollment Key database (KEK)" are "stored on the firmware nonvolatile RAM (NV-RAM) at manufacturing time." The manufacturer then "locks the firmware from editing, except for updates that are signed with the correct key or updates by a physically present user who is using firmware menus, then generates a platform key (PK) [...] used to sign updates to the KEK or to turn off Secure Boot."

Microsoft's Secure Boot UEFI bootloader signing key expires in September, posing problems for Linux users

A new key was issued in 2023, but it might not be well-supported ahead of the original key's expiration.

Just the Payments

We’re told there aren’t any Epstein files. That sounds like Fake News, but okay. How about releasing the Epstein bank payments then?

Sen. Ron Wyden dropped the unexpected bomb. He revealed:

“4,725 wire transfers adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. If you ask me, that is more than 4,000 potential lines of investigation right there. Hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts.”

Let that sink in.

One account, over a billion dollars. And no one seems to know who was sending it or why.


It kind of tends to raise the question what people were paying him for. And maybe knowing what country those payments were from might give the poor, beleaguered FBI that can’t seem to find any information some idea where to look for it.

I will never forget what Israel is doing, and what the United States and Europe are not doing.

Never.

This is a genocide and everyone is just watching how millions of lives are systematically being destroyed.

I have never been so ashamed to be a German, a country that equips Israel with weapons and stands idly by.

I have never been so ashamed to be a human, a species that finds joy in murdering other species as well as its own.

➗ Hoje é o Dia do Pi, na sua versão aproximada e melhor adequada ao sistema de datas adotado no Brasil. A razão é que a fração 22/7, correspondente à data de hoje, resulta em 3,14 – o valor de Pi, se ambos os números forem arredondados para 2 dígitos.

Em 14 de março (3.14, em países que representam datas com o mês antes do dia) é comemorada a outra versão deste feriado geométrico cuja importância não é comprometida nem mesmo pela conotação negativa que ganhou no Fediverso BR.

"Of the dozens of policy proposals in Zohran Mamdani’s platform, few have generated as much debate as the Democratic mayoral nominee’s call for city-owned grocery stores.

"Progressives, food policy professors, and left-leaning publications have lauded the idea. Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams characterized the plan as a “false promise,” while Mamdani’s opponent Andrew Cuomo dismissed the idea as a “slogan” that couldn’t come true. Gristedes owner and major Republican donor John Catsimatidis has threatened to close his stores rather than compete with subsidized city grocers.

"Both sides have largely missed a crucial point: New York already has a version of city-owned grocery stores. Namely, the six markets overseen by the city’s Economic Development Corporation, a nonprofit that manages city-owned property to boost economic development. These grocers include Essex Street Market on the Lower East Side, Moore Street Market in East Williamsburg, and others…"

Zohran Mamdani is calling for city-owned grocery stores. NYC already has them.

The idea has broad support from progressives, while some critics warn against “radical socialism.” But New York already has city-owned grocery stores.

Over these 25 years online, I've seen many sites come and go, and they all fail in these ways:
: The community breaks up because they forget they need to stick together
: it ends up infiltrated, filled with illegal content, or downloaded via DDOS attacks

staying together ::
Vigilance for entry, handling invitation requests, and community care and supervision: everyone supports keeping their site clean, with clear and detailed rules

A summary and model/idea for how to reconfigure the instance's TOS and community system:
1) Gatekeeping: Income is handled by invitation
2) If you break the rules, you're out
3) Everyone supports each other
4) Specify your niche:
Example
Otaku: Lolicon subspecialty:
The following are prohibited under penalty of expulsion and blocking from other instances:
Any user promoting or sharing illegal content for reasons of disloyalty:
Photorealistic or Idol Grabure*
Other examples:
Political subspecialty:
Political jokes or memes that clash with this or that Green Party?
If you want to express a political comment, you must do so without crossing a red line, for example, not promoting inflammatory comments or anything like that...?
5) Observe for a period of 40 days whether the user under observation exhibits irregular behavior such as provoking fights, inciting anger through content considered extreme?
Report, block and expel from said instance and notify other instances as a measure of precision

Panic swept through a California school after staff spotted what they believed was a mountain lion roaming near campus grounds. The school immediately went into lockdown. Authorities were alerted. Students were secured indoors. Wildlife officials prepared for a possible capture. But when the “wild predator” was finally cornered, everyone burst into laughter. It wasn’t a mountain lion at all, it was a very large, very fluffy house cat.

Yes, that’s right. The terrifying “beast” that sparked a full emergency response turned out to be a chonky feline with a serious attitude and a suspiciously wild look. In fairness to the school staff, the cat’s orange-brown fur, stocky build, and confident prowl did give off big cat energy. But once animal control arrived and got a better look, the case of the mountain lion was quickly closed with a purr.

I find it funny how age erodes reason. You'd think it would be the other way around, that children are aesthetics-oriented and adults are logical, but that's just not the case. As adults we have taste, and then that taste in aesthetics heavily influences everything even logic faculties. I asked "but why" and "why not" a lot more as a child than I do as an adult; I'd like to fix that. I don't want to be an obstinate old geezer.

I am not sure it is just a youth versus age thing. The amount of even clever people, even here, capable of subjecting their own assumptions to the same scrutiny to which they hold others is quite small, and I think some people are ill suited for the cognitive load to handle that anyway

That's a nice example if also a part of the indictment. Healthcare should be a right--and their crappy insurance probably won't help prevent bankruptcy let alone worsening mental health, if they face a crisis. It's measly and overall, we're the only industrialized nation where people go bankrupt and families destroyed while we spend more than anyone else in the world. So--Medicare-for-All is a WINNING way to go to get Dems elected PRECISELY because of that example and MILLIONS more.
