Oh, just doing a quick cross-compile of the #Linux #kernel for a 32-bit system using a 64-bit virtualised machine on an ARM Mac. Why do you ask? 😉



Last summer, when The Tyee learned about B.C.’s secretive plan to tighten its response to protests in the province, we had questions.

Nearly six months later — and only after filing an #FOI request — we finally received an answer.

@meatlotion hold on for a second. i position my comment from a perspective of an anarchist who demands some terminology order here, you freaking wankers, otherwise I’m confused what to fight… and here I clearly don’t see tech being woke (understood as questioning), but community behind tech. Tech can’t be WOKE or MAGA or whatever ridiculous 4-letter acronym.. people are. can we be a bit more precise here you freaking out idiots? Name the thing you’re fighting, well… you idiots!


Oh, Lord, they are FoS.

Yikes.

Just got an all-authors email blast from the publisher at Penguin Random House, expressing their support for authorial freedom of expression and explaining what they're doing to push back against censorship, including lawsuits against book bans.

So this is all good stuff, right?

What's alarming is that PRH executives feel they NEED to tell their authors they've got their backs.

Samsung made the S25 Ultra’s battery replacement a little less finicky.

Instead of having to fuss with a pull tab that’s supposed to release the battery from its adhesive, Samsung secured the S25 Ultra’s battery with tape, as shown in this teardown from JerryRigEverything. Now you can simply peel back the tape covering the battery and then lift it out — no isopropyl alcohol required.
