First light! RX590 works just great (and is massive overkill). Getting ready for some compiling on this new #riscv SiFive P550 Premier. Lots of #linux stuff to get working



All aboard the TRUTH TRAIN! OneNJ7 volunteers rocked Westfield Station—and yes, Elvis was in the building! 🚂

More than 100 BBC staff accuse broadcaster of Israel bias in Gaza coverage (Independent, 2024-11-01)

(Link to the “Letter for Gaza”
substack.com/inbox/post/151024… )

“More than 100 BBC employees are accusing the corporation of providing favourable coverage toward Israel and are calling on the broadcaster to ‘recommit to fairness, accuracy, and impartiality’ over its reporting on Gaza.

“In a letter sent to Tim Davie, signed by more than 230 members of the media industry, including 101 anonymous BBC staff, the corporation is criticised for failing its own editorial standards by lacking ‘consistently fair and accurate evidence-based journalism in its coverage of Gaza’”.

I’m trying to write a #ShortStory each month on my webpage. Here is the one I wrote for November, “A Possibility?” which asks what happens if Trump flees the country?

Melon Husk thinks he can buy the US Presidency the same way he bought Titter;

I hope he fails this time. Because if he succeeds, the (further) enshittification of Titter into Xitter is just a taste of what the billionaires and their orange empty vessel have in store for the whole country.

The #Biden Administration once again writes rules that turn monopolies into competitive markets. This time: banks.

Switching costs are real. And now quantified for banking.

Reminder: monopolists and oligarchs pay lip service to “competition.” That’s why they are suing to stop this final reg.

Does make one wonder how many types of things there is in the world to hold physical content gravitationally in such fashion.

There's lots of talk about what Trump would do if elected president again...and who he wants by his side to help him do it. Today, Jay Kuo takes a look at Trump's would-be second administration wrecking crew, from Elon Musk to RFK Jr. to Tulsi Gabbard, and dives into just how much havoc they could wreak on the government if given the chance. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p…

In 2004 I was diagnosed with CML and told I had 5 yrs to live. I had also just applied for a new position where I work. During the interview, one of the managers asked, "Where do you see yourself in 5 yrs... if you're still alive?" I don't remember the rest of the interview. But I got the job.

Wow, that photo of all the cars on the (train?) line or road or whatever... that is completely wild.

Whoa. Those poor people.

“It’s caused by a weather phenomenon called DANA - ‘depresion aislada en niveles altos’ in Spanish - which translates as ‘isolated low-pressure system at high levels’.

…climate change is making heavy rain worse, and therefore more dangerous. That’s because hotter air is able to hold more moisture. So when it rains, it unleashes more water.”

@markwyner I believe this is similar/the same as what we call a "bomb cyclone" here, based just on the descriptions I have read.
