This is satire of the kinds of emails you get as a parent on your kids first day back to school, but it’s also emblematic of how we’ve failed in tech

> there are a few apps you’ll need to download for music, gym, library, technology, and the use of the printer! None of the apps work together, and they are all rated 2-stars or fewer and frequently crash because we have no budget, sorry about that!

Trump's official denouncement of former CISA director Chris Krebs (in the form of a "Presidential Memorandum") is chilling in substance and utterly Stalinesque in tone. By threatening anyone who hires him, it aims to render Krebs effectively unemployable.

I said it then, and I will repeat it now: There is simply no evidence that the 2020 election was "hacked". Krebs's forthright clarity about this in November, 2020 was a brave and important act of public service.

Disappointed by @PBSNewsHour. Their broadcast tonight read out Donald Trump's misinformed social posting about the New Orleans attacker being an immigrant before PBS provided the accurate facts of the attacker being an American citizen. I believe reading out loud on the broadcast Donald Trump's statements provide his words further reach than the hell hole he shouts into. I would rather they just keep a running tally of his false testimony so we don't forget how much bullshit he spews forth into the world.
I would like to state that on this day I coined the phrase gyatt pocket when speaking with my children. I have been forbidden from saying this phrase ever again, but it was just too good to let it fall into obscurity.

Another successful upgrade of Fedora on my main PC. Flawless again moving from 39 to 40. I am getting closer to running current fedora release rather than sitting N-1. Thank you to all the FOSS contributors at @fedora
