work has me deep in the unsafe nitty gritty details of Futures and memory pinning, and i thought it'd be funny to pin her to the heap too. idiot #rust #programming #async

🚨 I AM MOVING OUT ON SHORTER NOTICE. MY FAMILY SUCKS ASS AND I AM GETTING OUT OF HERE. CW for some details re: ableism, emotional/mental abuse, and overall very shitty/paranoid parenting in my current situation. { 1/7 } ko-fi.com/m0llystars

Europe is not in decline, despite what people who are bothered by our low inequality say. We don't need extremist politics. We need EU integration, more immigration, more investment in science, more housing and infrastructure, and repression of the extreme right.

This week's column is about my peculiar parenting spreadsheet... as.ft.com/r/4523b5fb-7...

ZELENSKYY: Ukraine belongs in NATO, because NATO with Ukraine is the alliance for the future. Alliance of today must be up to challenges of modern world — with Ukraine, with strength of our defense industry and, most importantly, resilience and experience of our people.

Also applies to Norway.

The replies here are fucking rancid.

Lol, Norway’s biggest news conglomerate Schibsted wants to sell the approximate location (within 500m) of basically every Norwegian to dozens of companies. You can pay not to share. You still have to pay extra to read the paywalled articles. And even if you’ve paid twice they’ll still show you ads.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

Wikimedia Foundation just fired a long time lead developer of MediaWiki as well as its entire community team for unionizing. If you’re a donor, email donate@wikimedia.org to protest this move. medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

After some minor fixes I made to the visualization of 1,509,413 asteroids, and their position in space as of last week, it's good to go for Wikipedia! commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:As...

This is a graph of the inclination vs semi-major axis (distance from the sun) of 1,249,051 asteroids in the asteroid belt. Using proper elements allows us to see the belt's fine structure, including asteroid families that are fragments of past collisions. Each asteroid is (roughly) to scale.

data centers are light industrial with a somewhat unusual externality profile- worse in some ways, better in others- and it’s absurd that people are losing their minds about them

‘Swedish for "the", or: Why I Hate Linguistics’ this is a really cool rant in video form about academic arrogance in linguistics it happens to hit us perfectly because we speak Swedish and have a linguistics degree, so YMMV, but www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbNk...

I'm in @liberalcurrents.com today, talking about Iran, the difference between a campaign and a war, and the way in which even excellent operational planning can prove less than useless if applied without a coherent strategy.

I think everyone should support some legislation that requires new datacenters to be built with solar panels that can provide >80% of the total power usage. If it turns out that AI is bubble, we'll have all these solar panels that can be made into solar farms.

The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of: “people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”

“Beyond the basic fiscal math, it is counter-productive to liberal goals to indulge the anti-tax politics of the right. (. . .)If we believe that the government can and should improve the lives of its citizens and the world, it can only do so with the collective buy-in of taxation.”

So I liked a few posts by people saying that the Holodomor was real, and a few minutes later I got added to the list "Neo Liberal Holocaust Deniers". Weird.

6 million Jewish people were murdered during the Holocaust. On Yom HaShoah, we honor their memory. It is our responsibility to fight back against antisemitism, violence, and hatred in all forms. Never again.

this was a great conversation because, when it comes to tariffs, there's a level of technical analysis "what even are the rates actually" "what impact have they had" "etc" and then there's the point where @josephpolitano.bsky.social is just like "yeah it's corruption"

I quite enjoyed reading the two @liberalcurrents.com articles "It Wasn't Fascism All Along" and "It Was Fascism All Along" back to back. 1. www.liberalcurrents.com/it-wasnt-fas... 2. www.liberalcurrents.com/it-was-fasci... I thought the "It Was" response very convincing. Both were good reads.

"Researchers at Dublin City University created 10 blank smartphones registered as male teenagers, five on TikTok and five on YouTube Shorts, with no history, likes or prior searches. Within 23 minutes, all of them were being served misogynistic content they had never looked for. …

My copy of Dark Science volume 1 just arrived. It's flipping huge. I think the Kickstarter said something about it being suitable as a blunt force weapon, and I believe it. Anywho, the pages of the comic are absolutely *gorgeous* in this format. #DresdenCodak #DarkScience
