Transcripts in Overcast!

This was so much work. I can't believe I've finally gotten it into beta.

This is very much in character for Israel, which for years has "repeatedly undermined Palestinians who sought to end Israel's occupation through negotiations or nonviolent pressure" (Peter Beinart) - arresting or killing those urging diplomacy and then claiming there's no one to negotiate with.

Chief Justice John Roberts—who helped Bush steal the 2000 election, helped gut voting rights in 2013, helped gut reproductive rights in 2022, enabled overt SCOTUS corruption, and gave Donald Trump near unlimited immunity—is now shocked that the fascist he gave unlimited immunity to is lashing out at him for not giving him even more power, and stated on Tuesday "personally directed hostility is dangerous, and it's got to stop."

Leopards Eating Faces: SCOTUS Edition. Reap What You Sow.

Will you be dead from World War 3 a year from now? Who knows. But whatever happens, just know it's almost guaranteed to be dumber than you can possibly imagine. So don't try to imagine it, because you'll be wrong! Spend your energy focusing on what's in front of you right now.

Blogged it down because not everybody knows this:

- On macOS, ssh(1) has a "UseKeychain" option, which is awesome.
- If your ssh connection gets rejected, it might be because your agent has more than the server's MaxAuthTries keys it's trying; use 'IdentitiesOnly' to avoid that
- You can put your ssh private keys into 1Password and use _its_ SSH agent -> biometric unlock of ssh keys

"anti Zionist left wing Jews are actually antisemitic" says the organization that defended actual South African Apartheid, Elon Musk doing a Nazi salute in public, and now a pedophile Israeli spy who had ties to Ehud Barak.

"This massive disenfranchisement push mimics Jim Crow legislation (e.g., requiring a passport, which can cost $165, is akin to a poll tax; obtaining a birth certificate may involve travel to the county clerk in one’s place of birth and paying a fee). It is blatantly unconstitutional, a gambit by the most lawless and corrupt regime in history (whose identity is rooted in election denial) to take over elections from the states."

Great news today for GPU-accelerated text rendering:

"""
I was granted a patent for the Slug algorithm in 2019, and I legally have exclusive rights to it until the year 2038. But I think that’s too long. The patent has already served its purpose well, and I believe that holding on to it any longer benefits nobody. Therefore, effective today, I am permanently and irrevocably dedicating the Slug patent to the public domain. ...

To aid in implementations of the Slug algorithm, reference vertex and pixel shaders based on the actual code used in the Slug Library have been posted in a new GitHub repository and made available under the MIT license. ...

Thank you, @EricLengyel!
