Great opening:
"President Donald Trump, a man who’s overseen the killings of dozens of people on boats over recent months, was awarded a “peace prize” by FIFA on Friday. It’s was an absurd gesture from the international soccer body to placate our childish president and his disappointment in not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, but at least it briefly gave us some funny memes."

MAGA: Giving foreigners the same benefits as native-born citizens is immoral. This is why we need a government based on the Bible.
LEVITICUS 19:34 : "The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were once foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God"
MAGA: Not that part of the Bible

Also Lev 23:22 "When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the LORD your God"
"Gleaning" meant people who were allowed to follow the harvesters and pick up whatever leavings they could. It was a form of bronze-age poor relief. The modern version is Social Security.
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT NON CITIZENS CAN CLAIM SOCIAL SECURITY!

Some simple moral clarity. Our country is run, and our public life is dominated by, wicked people. I wish there were a party -- or christ, just a substantial faction of Americans -- who stood up for love, compassion, & decency with the same vigor these fucking ghouls celebrate murder.

@tk mhm. there will be outlets one way or another.
it's up to the government to decide if they want to have a say in how that happens or if they de facto abdicate and it just happens to them.

Yesterday's post by Heather Cox Richardson should be an urgent call to action.
The new US National Security Strategy gives an indisputable nod to racism, imperialism, and is a direct threat to reproductive rights.
Carney must stop playing footsie with Trump and if you read in the news that Trump "likes" our PM, that should be a dire warning that our sovereignty is in danger.

Apparently we're having issues getting RAM.
I'm transported back to the day in approximately 1997 when I climbed into a dumpster behind an office block, doubled my RAM and was still unable to make Monster Bash stable.

Tech. Where paragraphs about prominent players start out like…
“…invited to the functional programming conference LambdaConf to discuss…”
And end up like…
“…claim that white people are genetically endowed with higher IQs than black people and his support of slavery.”
Hard to imagine other industries work the same way.

@dalias I think projects with sufficient popularity have greater responsibilities, and personal vision has a responsibility to actively chasing popularity and contributions away.
And the specific problem that came up with Audacity did come from a bdfl who could just up and sell the trademark. Not that different from having one person hold full ownership.

Stay cool and spot clean: how to make clothes last by washing them correctly
Laundry cycles wear out fabrics – so try steaming, airing and slower cycles on the washing machine [or washing less!]
Laura de Barra
Wed 7 Aug 2024 02.00 EDT
Excerpt: "Laundry cycles are stressful for clothes due to the agitation, heat and general chaos they must endure each time. A jaunt in the drum can lead to excessive fibre loss; dyes can fade and garments can lose their shape.
Instead of just chucking an item of clothing in the laundry basket at the end of the day, take a look at it. Does it really need to be washed? Allowing a garment to skip unnecessary washing cycles will instantly prolong its life.
Freshen it up
For gently worn, fragile or fast-fashion garments, try these alternatives to a wash.
Air it A good old-fashioned airing can do a garment the world of good. For best results, hang it inside out, outdoors, for a few hours.
Steam is fast becoming the darling of the laundry world. This method is low on risk and high on reward, making it essential for garments you love. Steaming will eliminate odours, freshen up fibres and, of course, remove wrinkles, all without the use of any toxic chemicals. You can choose from a range of appliances to fulfil your steam dreams, from steam washing machines to steam wardrobes. However, the most popular is still the trusty handheld steamer.
Spot cleaning Never underestimate a gentle spot clean instead of a full wash. For grease stains, massage on a dab of washing-up liquid. For protein stains, opt for vinegar. If in doubt, use a shop-bought stain remover [or not! Baking soda, peroxide can also remove stains -- test a spot first]."
