Is it not possible to have a simple GET webhook from #gitea to Jenkins? In #jenkins, I have a GET request with a token to kick off a particular build. I see no option to simply have a GET request made to Jenkins. I see there is a plugin, but I'm also reading it doesn't work.

28% of Americans see Trump as "very conservative." 37% see Harris as "very liberal." Hard to think this isn't in part because Trump has redefined conservatism to equal Trumpism.

I wish she was “very liberal.” But I would vote for a blue cardboard box over Trump so I’m still voting for her despite her being a capitalist gun owner.
in reply to Philip Bump

This is the standard 30% that always says what they think will benefit trump (independent of an objective reality) combined with the sane people. If you flip their answers, you get 58% see trump as “very conservative” and 7% see Harris as “very liberal,” which seems more believable


Meteorologists are getting misinformation-fueled death threats.

Rolling Stone reports that just like FEMA, meteorologists are dealing with more pushback than they’re used to — one is quoted saying “ideas that once would have been ridiculed as very fringe, outlandish viewpoints are suddenly becoming mainstream.”

CBS Morning meteorologist Katie Nickolaou also tweeted one example of what she’s seeing (below).

Great and educational article bu Elie Mystal. I have always wondered about the arguments that the MAGAts are making about the electoral college and it legitimacy.


#Ubuntu 24.10 is now out!
I took a look at the major new features in that #Linux distro, and I found it a good step towards the future Ubuntu wants to build (which you might not like…), with a healthy dose of nostalgia:

Salut Nick, bonne vidéo de présentation de la nouvelle monture d'Ubuntu. Good job comme d'habitude pour cela. À propos des snap, c'est minimal pour moi: firefox/discord/spotify, le reste via les deb, quitte à ajouter des sources et installer via flatpack. Mais vu l'intégration qu'ils en font, ça va éventuellement devenir un problème. On est loin de mon premier contact avec 7.10 .... Pour Wayland, je suis prêt à lui donner une chance, si je peu installer le dernier driver 😬

The Israeli economy faces its toughest challenge to date due to ongoing conflicts and internal political divisions.

Businesses are closing, tourism has collapsed and the construction sector is at a standstill.

Since October 7, Israel's stock market and currency have plunged, with economic losses projected to reach $100 billion by 2025.
