I finally got a method to transfer files too big for an ADF to my Amiga 1200. It's a microSD in an SD adaptor, in a CF adaptor, in a PCMCIA adaptor. So naturally I gave the card a relevant name.

I don't usually do much on the 4th because I'm a lazy bum, but this year in particular it's hard to even feel pleased about the holiday. Fireworks are pretty, though.

This is yet another instance of "bullshit and hope the media repeats the soundbite while nothing is actually happening and we're losing our shirts" from this administration. If you can call it one. About the only thing they're good at is telling power-trippers that they can double down on that.

Well, I guess TECHNICALLY it is "some" because of the number of people with their head in the sand. But that's still a really bad way to write a headline about this.

So we’re 75 days into trumps second term, people are protesting everywhere. Markets have had two days of absolutely apocalyptic losses. There are grad students being disappeared and a man with an autism awareness tattoo was sent to a super scary prison in El Salvador. They’ve cut cancer research..

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

I remember stories about some of those survivalist nuts buying those shelf-stable meal kits down in Texas when the state froze in 2021; they prattled about how they were going to be ready when society collapsed... and then didn't have water or heat to cook because they'd not gotten anything else..

Honestly, I knew things would move fast (they proudly yelled it to the world - so no "I didn't know he was gonna do THAT" doesn't count, people) but it's still insane to watch, and not in a good way. Canada is doing what they /should/ and the only thing a bully understands is being punched back. :(

Should be a thing for ANY API documentation. Show it correctly. Cross-link referenced objects, etc. I can't count how many times I've used some library and had to fight with the docs to even figure out where some specific config setting has to be passed, not to mention the structure.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

Not any more at least. Originally way, way less than I'd ever realized, though. I had no idea how much of governmental process was "because it's right/the normal thing to do" And then his previous administration ripped those guardrails out and the Rep Congress continued to tear it apart afterwards.

Okay, it wasn't like NOBODY tried to explain the concepts, but it was almost always a small side article and rarely mentioned in context when talking about the general economy. You pretty much had to be looking for it.

Nothing at all about trying to correct people's misunderstanding of price inflation (e.g. "inflation must still be high because prices haven't gone down when you say inflation went down" and the like) or talking about what the admin was actually doing to fight high prices. Or infrastructure.
