Holy shit.

Listening to the album Rage Against the Machine (1992). So many tracks are screaming at us in #America right now...

Or should be.

Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up (Audio)

what do you mean #elonmusk did a #nazi salute on live tv at the #unitedstates presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

I firmly believe that all 14 year olds should surreptitiously be given Pratchett by someone that isn't a parent.

Especially if they live in a household where they have to hide it because it contains witches.

They are books that teach you how to think, even in the face of extreme authority.

This is my story. I would be a much worse person without having Pratchett books in my life.

Bluefin CLI for Mac and Windows | Bluefin

We like to say "The command line is our passion. Therefore we invest in the command line experience, knowing that most people will never see it." Sounds grandiose! Bluefin CLI is a a terminal experience designed around shipping a new "default terminal experience" with modern tools. But it also has things like the just task runner, making the community shared aliases and shortcuts easy. And that just lets the good stuff float to the top.

Just breathe. Okay? Just breathe. Just for right now. Just for this moment. Breathe.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

That ship was unarmed.

The ship was not in a war zone.

The US knew it was unarmed.

The US left those sailors to drown.

Video of US torpedo hitting Iranian warship released by Pentagon

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the US military has sunk "an Iranian warship" in the Indian Ocean with a torpedo.

We appreciate what the @EUCommission is doing to support #OpenSource software but there is still quite a lot to do.

A simple step, which would make a big difference, is to issue an internal policy requiring documents to be shared also in #ODF format.

That would help employees and contractor in following EC's own guidances.

UPDATED Request to the European Commission to adhere to its own guidances - TDF Community Blog

The European Commission has accepted our request, and starting from today – Friday March 6 – has added the Open Document Format ODS version of the spreadsheet to be used to provide the feedback. We are grateful to the people working at DG CONNECT, the Commission’s Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology, for responding to our request within 24 hours. At this point, the rest of this message is no longer relevant, and the call for action is no longer necessary. ARCHIVED MESSAGE The European Commission has spent years advocating for open standards, vendor neutrality, and digital sovereignty. The European Interoperability Framework explicitly recommends open formats for public sector digital services. The EU’s own Open Source Software Strategy calls for reducing dependency on proprietary technologies, and the Cyber Resilience Act itself is designed to address systemic risks from unaccountable technology dependencies. On March 3rd, 2026, the European Commission published a request for feedback on to the guidances to be provided in relation to the CRA, which must be provided through the linked spreadsheet in .xlsx format, a proprietary format that makes interoperability extremely difficult due to its ever changing and undocumented features. This is not a minor procedural oversight.

So for the first time in my adult life, I have purchased a PC (running Linux, natch) instead of a Mac as my primary development machine. I could abide by many things but bending to trump is where I draw the line.

I encourage all Apple developers to do the same. The Linux ecosystem is ripe for an explosion of creativity and expertise. I’m jumping in feet first.
