@ami_angelwings Kylo Ren is a fascinating idea of a character and it's a damned shame that he was part of that weird, frustrating tug-of-war that the sequel trilogy was born from. Much as I'm on record as a middle-installment enjoyer, I don't think *either* creative lead really knew what to do with him. More's the pity.

Remember: tonight’s order from the Roberts Court makes it almost impossible to reverse or stop the Governor of Louisiana from cancelling an ongoing election. Doesn’t get much more authoritarian than cancelling elections. But when done in service to white supremacist, patriarchal Republican Fascism - a palpably anti-democratic, authoritarian program - the Roberts Court is all for it. 15/

But Sam Alito just cannot handle a dissent from Brown that explains that he and the other Roberts Court judges who went along with him are nakedly using their privilege and authority to advantage the Republican Fascist Party and its white supremacist agenda. 7/

All of this has happened on the shadow docket. So the Roberts Court has ok’d election cancellation without merits briefing, oral argument, etc.
This would be extraordinary and pernicious enough. But because Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented and pointed out how exceptional and dangerous the Court’s order is, Alito, joined by Gorsuch and Thomas, wrote an opinion basically calling her uppity. 4/

@webframp it's so jarring at the end of every movie because there's just this scalding critique of their sclerotic fecklessness and their intentional resistance to obvious truths, and then the movie ends and it's like "yaaaay they wooooon". the text is at war with itself

how do you know you've got 'everything'? well for that you're going to need to fall back on your extensive domain experience in the sort of security sensitive code you're writing.

here is how you write a security critical library:
- carefully
- thinking through everything that could go wrong

i see we're on to vibecoding cryptography libraries. it's fine because it's rust, apparently 😬
Mastodon Feedthe jedi are such obvious doofuses and their entire religion is so ridiculously stupid and anti-human (you're not allowed to *love* anyone? what?) that the text seems constantly just about to complete the critique, and in TLJ they finally, almost, kinda realized that that's what the entire theme of the series is, Rey has the dramatic scene at the cave, an explicit subversion of Luke's experience on Dagobah. explicit rejection of the false Jedi religion. And then… bam. No more Star Wars movies
Mastodon Feedas an erstwhile dabbler in taoism I found the whole series to be a sort of accidentally taoist parable. every character, even the "good guys", is constantly making themselves and their friends and family miserable and pathetic in search of self-actualization because both the jedi and the sith are constantly placing one side of the force above the other, seeking the obliteration of the other half and causing calamitous disharmony even when they "win"

Today is a great day to learn about Debian.
It's far from perfect, but by golly once you learn it it's pretty sweet. Highlights:
- Everything is transparent, sometimes painfully so
- Debian isn't a company
- You still have
apt, sodebpackages still probably work- Flatpak makes desktop use easy
- Hate updates? Debian only releases a major new version every two years.
- Nobody is ever, ever, ever going to sell you "Debian Pro"
If Ubuntu's got you down today, I dare you: give Debian a try.
Mastodon Feedokay if we need to have a may the 4th take, I'll share my usual one: it's too bad they ran out of money and never made a sequel to The Last Jedi. a flawed movie in many respects but "Let the past die, kill it if you have to" is the lesson that Star Wars needs to learn more than anything else and if they ever *do* make a sequel that teaches it, I'm sure it will be wonderful

Mastodon Feed@treyhunner not linking this as a reply because I am not sure why I felt compelled to do this and it may be a bit confusing to your target audience, but; I prefer to treat things as expressions rather than early returns when I can, to wit::
def is_prime(candidate: int) -> bool:
factors = (n for n in range(2, candidate) if candidate % n == 0)
return next(factors, None) is None

I’m just saying it’s REALLY telling how *intensely* racist the US is when there are states *in the middle of an active primary* that are shutting it down so they can redistrict to prevent Black people from representation because SCOTUS said it’s OK to do a racism.
This is like racism speedruns.
