…just this guy, you know.
this is not being discussed and actioned on nearly enough.
from friends in NC… and example of what is desperately needed in all affected areas. things are really, really bad. first aid kits are also in demand. at this point a cut can kill you.
hmmm… surprisingly self-consistent. I guess stopped clock and all that.
this resonates so much…
“ok, which one of you crackheads decided an unconstrained recursive C function was a good idea right her… oh.”
as a followup to how useful your visualization is, I have started spreading comments across a wider selection of instance communities.
this is something I have considered before, but your visulazation made the possible utility and usefulness of doing so much more “real”.
this is really, really interesting. thank you for this.
instance reach and relationships are pretty wild and I can see this helping people to mix up their communities between instances.
the tight groupings of some instance communities might be source of pride or distress, depending.
would be nice to select a community and query its n closest overlap neighbors or all neighbors within a certain distance.
very cool project.
the past 8 years has realigned my view of the american electorate. policy and leadership are now inseparable from politics and politicians. public exposure to anything non-culture war related is pretty carefully managed and curated.
so I say “scaramucchi is an asshole but for 30 seconds he’s our asshole” and, as a known quantity, can be jettisoned pretty painlesslely.
and my reasoning… apparently there is limited downside and some upside to this stupid, juvenile “owning” your opponent bs. it sucks the oxygen out of any gathering where the IQ is sub-room temperature - and the irony of a little political asphyxiation for trump is quite delicious.
we need to continue skating to where the puck will be and I don’t see the current electorate changing trajectory until after the 2026 mid-terms at the earliest.
edit: ok, I enjoy a good juvenile roast as well, but would like some policy with my persnickety, please.
its only Tuesday… let me be all hand wavey, damnit! but here goes…
tl;dr - a few specifics. lots of nebulous warm and fuzzies. leaves everyone to fill in blanks. we went through this recently with obama - and I don’t like it.

running out of time and space, but hopefully that gives you the gist of what I thought while reading.
edit: typos. formatting.
yeah - agreed. thats why I am not the target audience. I want a little more wonkery in there (even if as just links in the text body) so I am probably an outlier.
as long as people agree that my initial read is a reasnable one (slick, with attractive shapes and edges) then its all good.
I have to say, it seems like the kamala-walz campaign has been near flawless on messaging so far and it feels like a facsimile of the Obama energy, not the same, but damn if it is not familiar.
I think the timing of this also also near perfect - close enough to the election for a sustained honeymoon and far enough away to effectively build brand and messaging. if kamala does.well in the debate, I really think the visible vote (polling data) continues to move to kamala.
couple of points.
lovely that the site is likely to work for the lowest common denominator modern browser - I mean seriouly that could scare up a few hundred distracted voter ballots in a tight race.
I am not the target audience for this platform presentation, but it was clean, with tight easily digestible copy and smooth delivery. if I were an “undecided” but turned off by “those two wierd dudes”, I could possibly see myself clicking with this.
so policy sparse, likable generic democrat it is - reasonable angle for her to take because I think she can actually ride the feelz into the whitehouse.
however, everyone disgusted by the last 44 years* of world history better have their hopium / copium handy.

appropriately biting article.
…that wireless mac is looking suspiciously shopped and non-existent.
the web. where spiders are spiders, fireflies are spiders and researchers… are probably spiders.

“However, if there are dark matter self-interactions, what happens is this energy is redistributed between the particles in the central region of the galaxy so that the dark matter is not dispersed away,” Alonso-Álvarez added. “This is crucial.”
but “more black holes” does not seem to account for the way black hole mergers actually take place.
the hypothesis is that dark matter gravity and dark matter self interaction facilitate the “viscous-fluid” energy loss to spiral the black hole objects into a merger.
true? no clue. but we keep seeing effects of “dark matter” that are not easily explained by anything we are currently understand.
Graham openly admitted, “If ICC does this to Israel, They Will Come For Us NEXT.”
hey, lindsey. I’m kinda failing to see the problem here.
this was a pretty interesting read. wish to hell peeps would stop kneejerk downvoting and consider content. but oh well.
I am shocked this had not (yet) been downvoted into oblivion like so many other posts clearly pointing out the obvious path we are on.
anyone blinding cheering this farce on is as complicit as the actual fascists.
no, I don’t have any answers. decades of slow corruption of anything approximating democratic rule have brought us to this point and don’t see a sane path forward.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
but seriously, modern FOSS distros (yes, debian is modern, damnit!) are amazingly good. you have an exceptionally high probablility of switching and staying switched.
I think a shit flinging monkey is a step up from drumpf, but unfortunately the electoral system may disagree with us.
the fact that we are here, facing down a possible loss to the worst shit-stain of a proto-human is an irreconcilable indictment of the current democratic party and its owners.
AFAIK, most of the community dropoffs are now coordinated with state and local relief. and yes - stay out of the areas, its a mess and coordination over the next few days rather than ad hoc scramble is what will save the most lives.
I have persoanlly heard a steady stream of millitary large transport helicopters over my area, so I know materials and personnel may be getting through.
