A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

The song "Áfram Stelpur" emerged quickly as a sort of anthem for the women's strike and the Icelandic women's movement. Here it is being performed at the original 1975 strike

AV1 is crazy-good for encoding screencasts. 1:28 of video, higher-than-HD resolution, less than 2mb. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show%5Fbug.cgi?id=1996198#c0

There's not a lot of movement, but many codecs just don't handle that well.

Here are my encoding settings, including skipping repeat frames https://gist.github.com/jakearchibald/39932dee13a10a757b86b853e16ac79f

Security conference talks fall into two categories
* we designed a distributed entropy siphon to perform a black-box hypervisor side channel escape and chain-load a persistent rootkit into the CPU cache
* we looked behind the sofa and found an entire industry of products/services that have made no attempt at security at all and are therefore vulnerable to the most basic issues that we've been finding in everything for the past 30 years, and no-one else had bothered to look.

A paramilitary force is a military force. What makes it “para” is that it is not the lawfully constituted military of nation. The people carrying out paramilitary operations are soldiers, not lawful ones, but still soldiers following orders and engaging in warfare. That’s ICE and CPB (Customs and Border Patrol) on the streets of American cities today. Troops serving a Fascist Republican President, with the full support of other officers of the Fascist Republican Party. 4/

Nazis aren't just clumps of pixels you shoot in Wolfenstein, they're real, actual, malicious fucking people doing shit like tearing down the actual, literal White House. There's a pretty good chance that, if you're responsible for a community you love and care about, some real-life fucking Nazis will show up and start testing your boundaries, checking whether they can subvert your strategy.

So don't wait for that shit, get out in front of it and be prepared to tell them to fuck off.

The thing I hate most about AI chatbots is how they pretend to be your friend. I am not your friend.

I have been enemies with the Computer long before you came into existence, and when you perish from this Earth, when only a dim memory of your folly lingers, I will be enemies of the Computer still.
