Study (N=690) finds women are disproportionately shouldering caregiver strain (the burdens of coordinating care for children, parents & others) & caregiver strain, not ambition or seniority, was the strongest predictor of burnout & exit consideration.

Women aren't opting out of work. Workplaces are pushing them out

Caregiving strain is quietly reshaping who stays, who leaves, and who advances. Yet, most companies still treat it as a private issue instead of a business-critical one.

More digging into systemd

At the heart of it is a communication system that allows arbitrary data and is shuffling it around using unix domain sockets.

Some of these messages can be calls to functions in the target process.

I have mixed thoughts about this.

I see the need for a good communication layer above SysV IPC but arbitrary messages and being able to call functions across processes?

Will have to think about this.

Abolish the Monarchy! For a Socialist Republic

The Royals Enabled Andrew and Epstein’s Abuse

This arrest comes after years of Andrew being protected by the monarchy, including reportedly receiving millions of pounds from the personal fortune of Elizabeth II to pay an out-of-court settlement to Virginia Giuffre. His arrest was only won in the face of overwhelming public outrage.

I like this for a lot of reasons. But mostly because the path to decarbonization AND cost reduction is electification, and electric regulation is primarily done at the state level in the US. Governors can lead, and Spanberger is. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-energy/virginia-set-to-enact-laws-cleaner-cheaper-power

Virginia set to enact a flurry of laws boosting cleaner, cheaper power

Gov. Abigail Spanberger is expected to sign bills promoting solar power, batteries, grid tech, and, above all, affordability.

Energy companies really hate small renewables. They love nuclear and fossil fuels. Why? Renewables can be deployed in decentralised ways. That hurts their bottom line as they get reduced to taking care of distribution through their grids. But they want to control the input, not the distribution. They have focused on centralising electricity generation. That way they can simply make more money. That's why they oppose or actively try to fight microgrid solutions. Decentralisation is bad for them.

Report: Israel is systematically torturing Palestinians on a scale “that suggests collective vengeance & destructive intent."

Since Oct 7, "Palestinians in custody “have been subjected to exceptionally ruthless physical & psychological abuse.”

"Brutal beatings, sexual violence, rape, lethal mistreatment, starvation & systematic deprivation of the most basic human conditions."

Tuesday the Danes elected 86 female members to the Parliament, the Folketinget. This means Denmark is now led by 48 percent women.

I too voted for a woman. Not because she was a woman, but because she was the most qualified.

In general, there has been far fewer political scandals with women over the years, and it has been my impression that more women are well prepared, they are more hard working, while some men are more focused on press coverage and social media visibility.
