No, his voters fucking well did, he'd been president before and they saw who he was and what a mess he's made of it before, and he's doing what he said he'd do from day one. They knew and they voted him in anyway. No one who voted for him this time around should be off the hook for their vote, ever. This is what they voted for, and this is what we're all getting now.

One interesting thing about this video is how well Mark Sonnenblik, the co-writer of "Golden," understands this is all EJAE's story and he's along for the ride on it. It's not that what he's done isn't important - he IS the co-writer, it wouldn't be the song it is without him - but that this is EJAE's moment as a singer and songwriter and it's okay for him to take a small step back and let her be the focus. It's generous and kind, and, also, savvy.

@box464 😆 I once sat near a young woman on a flight with a big sized smartphone with full brightness on… it was impossible to miss what she was doing. The amount of actions it took to add specific stickers, animations and text (with certain fonts) to an Instagram Story convinced me then and there that the argument « the Fediverse is too difficult for normies » is just a lazy, tired old trope.

If there’s a will, there’s a way.

There's a very good chance this piece will make people angry at me.

Excited to see Place Capability Graphs published at OOPSLA'25 (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3763122). Better models of ownership both help us understand its conceptual essence and build better tools atop it. Similarly cool to see that Flowistry (https://github.com/willcrichton/flowistry) was used in the evaluation as a prospective downstream consumer of PCGs.

Open source licences are not enough. They’re regularly weaponized as a tech enthusiast trap.

Let's try something different today.
Reply with your favorite still opened gcc bug report (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/) . I am going to put together a poll next week on which bug report i should fix and that poll will be based on the responses here.
Disclaimer, X86_64 and aarch64 target specific bugs are OK, other backends depending on the bug report might be fine but I will reply to your toot if it will be included in the poll. If I get a lot of responses, I might have a few polls to narrow down which one I implement.

This is for 2 reasons, one to show gcc developers still care about the bug reports (especially with over 18k of them filed) and 2 to give an opportunity to users to see more of the process. Also sometimes I like giving back to the users of gcc.

The Trump regime used misleading footage in videos promoting its immigration agenda, including clips from unrelated operations and mislabeled locations. These videos, widely shared on social media, have been viewed millions of times and have contributed to a distorted public understanding of events.

#Trump and #Republicans join Big Oil’s push to shut down #climate liability efforts

As efforts continue to hold some of the world’s largest fossil fuel corporations liable for destructive and deadly climate impacts, backlash from the politically powerful #oil and #gas industry and its allies in government is on the rise, bolstered by the Trump administration’s allegiance to fossil fuels.

"Since Mr. Kirk’s death, some White House officials have pressed for sweeping federal investigations of liberal groups and donors, and some of the president’s allies outside the administration are convinced that the killing is part of a broader plot, despite a lack of evidence that has been presented to support that. Officials involved in the arrest have said they believe Mr. Robinson acted alone."
