Spent some quality time last night with an old buddy who's still in academia doing the professorial thing. Heard about how crazy it is to get funding now with everything having been looted bone-dry by Trump and his cronies. Heard about how crazy the student "AI" shit is now and how he's glad that some of his courses are complicated enough that "AI" doesn't really help much.

But also heard how tired he is of the whole game, of the institution going down the semi-corporate shitter, overrun with idiot deanlets with zero academic credentials, with faculty getting more and more "administrative" tasks piled on but not having the power to implement anything anymore, and with IT that's more terrible than what a bunch of CS undergrads would have put together 8 years ago.

So ... yeah.

Kudos if you're still holding out, hoping for things to get better, maybe. I doubt they will. And I think he doesn't believe it either.

Nope! Today, Gentoo published new kernels with a bespoke patch.

Someone is arguing about which python version should be installed to avoid being vulnerable, while others are disabling kernel modules and hoping nothing breaks. #shitshow #copyfail
