This is still super rough, but it should offer a decent idea of what I'm trying to do with DNS Kitchen's "easy mode". The goal is to configure DNS for common scenarios without having to subject people to traditional DNS UI (which can be confusing and intimidating). By focusing on specific situations and offering a "wizard"-like step-by-step process for collecting relevant data, we can try to make DNS a little less awkward for people. :chef_happy:

European fascism was and has always been a response to the siren call of USA plantation #slaveocracy, #ManifestDestiny and post-Civil War #JimCrow. if capitalists have to pick between enriching themselves thru slavery or the labor of free citizens, they will go with slavery.

Karl Marx told us as much back in 1861:

do you get why #BlackLivesMatter is the most #antifa shit you can say in USA?

#MAGA is the negrofication of the white middle classes.

deal with it.

I just got an idea for this year's #plushtodon that I'm very proud of but won't be able to share for months to not ruin the surprise. And of course something might prevent it from happening so no guarantees...

Things Warren was wrong about include (but are not limited to):

- '21-'23 interest rates (and in fairness, lots of us were wrong about that, myself included)
- abiding faith in Americans not to vote in fascists again

Things she was right about include the desire of billionaires to avoid any social responsibility, the pernicious impact of capital on working people, the rot in today's SCOTUS, and the need for strong anti-trust regulation. Chiat acts like those are somehow disqualifying.

I'm one of many people testifying CON on HB 2112 (age verification for "adult content") at tomorrow's hearing here in Washington.

If you're against 2112 -- or age verification for "adult content" in general ... why? After I've testified, I'll follow up with email to the committee with people's perspectives.

And if you're a Washington state resident, it's easy to "sign in CON" to the hearing on HB 2112 to let legislators know you oppose age verification. Just select your position (CON), fill out the rest of the form, and click "Submit Registration"

the data centre push:

"Pushing people’s retirement savings into AI-related stocks and/or data centre investments (the latter being a policy explicitly championed by Chrystia Freeland and Carney’s fellow former BoC Governor Stephen Poloz) further ties individual Canadians' financial well-being to the AI industry"

You know, I think this is kind of funny because they’re so disorganized, that people could literally sign up for ICE collect a paycheck and never respond to any orders to go anywhere.

It would be a shame if the website was overwhelmed by a lot of prank applications

So @lwn is currently under the heaviest scraper attack seen yet. It is a DDOS attack involving tens of thousands of addresses, and that is affecting the responsiveness of the site, unfortunately.

There are many things I would like to do with my time. Defending LWN from AI shitheads is rather far from the top of that list. I *really* don't want to put obstacles between LWN and its readers, but it may come to that.

(Another grumpy day, sorry)

I’m hoping one of my former colleagues in the briefing room will ask the press secretary why the White House is again propagating phrasing of a white supremacist author who praises Hitler and traffics in antisemitic conspiracy theories.

It should go without saying that Gavin Newsom does not have what it takes to fix the country, but he also absolutely does not have what it takes to win a national election.

Pandering to the far right only serves to legitimize the far right candidate he will inevitably have to run against.

He. Is. Absolutely. Not. The. Guy.

Chuck Schumer again says that in 2026 Senate Dems will be focused on “affordability.” He is a disgrace as Senate minority leader. The Trump executive branch is occupying a U.S. city, rounding up people on the basis of their skin color, shooting at and killing citizens for peacefully protesting and observing. That’s the imperative focus.

XScreenSaver 6.14 is out now, including iOS (soon) and Android. A whopping eighteen new savers this time! As I mentioned last month, I wrote a new XScreenSaver module that is API-compatible with Shadertoy, which means that I am now able to pull demos written that way into the XScreenSaver fold. These 18 savers are the first of that batch...

This captures something important that I've been struggling to articulate all year; these MFers went after universities and science funding because those institutions make claims to truth based on more than "the party says so."
