ICYMI, my partner @nullagent was assaulted last night protesting at a #Seattle City Council member's home over the anti-homeless/anti-SW legislation that's underway.

He's heading over to urgent care now to get a full assessment, and possible stitches for the head wound.

We are getting some extra help at home this week, but he REALLY needs to rest up and take it easy while he recovers. We have one overdue bill to pay + lots of expenses coming up.

This quote from the Heritage Foundation is really important because KOSA sucks and it has strong bipartisan support. So call your Democratic representatives and tell them that KOSA will be used to block access to essential information about abortion.

I heard about Google's #NotebookLM #AI so I gave it a try. Uploaded the #blog post

And had it generate a podcast. Took like 10 seconds and the podcast it made sounded really engaging. Unfortunately, lol, it was very inaccurate. You can listen to the output below if you want:

i think the main concern i have with something like this is that it severely limits your options when it comes to the base system, especially since getting snap working properly on other systems can be an ordeal in itself due to the several out of tree kernel patches required.

In this case it’s not a huge deal because Neon was already Ubuntu based, but it would complicate things if they wanted to offer a rolling system for the base, or even if they wanted to offer newer kernels like Pop!_OS since they’d need to patch the level every time for strict confinement support. Which is why Solus abandoned Snap support recently.

Almost time to actually start the process and make the jump.

Need to decide if I should ask @OpenBSDAms to reset my virtual host to "factory" before I start...



Everything we do over the next 50 days is focused on winning a Democratic trifecta that will restore abortion rights and repair our democracy. We’re working 24/7 (literally) to stop Trump and his destructive Project 2025 agenda. Your support allows us to reach more voters and get more tools to volunteers in swing states!

I do get Blame! vibes from this, especially the white faces and spikes

@bronsen definitely an influence, but I feel (hope) I’m giving it my own spin, just like Blame characters feel very influenced by Shirou to me.
