more evidence that trump doesn’t have as much juice as people think! [contains quote post or other embedded content]
🇺🇦 Ukrainain, Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury to retain his unified heavyweight world #boxing titles and prove his status as a generational great with another close points win in their rematch in Saudi Arabia.
I think this is the best explanation of Musk, period. He didn't arrive at his current ideology because he's ideological. He arrived at it because he's desperately incompetent & needs a government that'll award him money despite his incompetence. Which Trump was desperate enough to promise to do.

Anytime I do some subscription marketing, I feel like I should apologize. Thing is, if we don't market, we don't survive. I'd like to keep doing this job, even with all the "AI" nonsense we deal with. So...
Give the gift of short fiction this holiday season.

It's a good time to remember the long-forgotten programs like ICQ and QIP, where the only thing left from the good old ICQ is the "o-ou" sound. They already had their own emojis and icons, and in the latest versions even their own qip.ru account. But I agree, it was a good thing! It made ICQ more comfortable and interesting. Just a plugin like the one that fetched the current song from Winamp and put the title in ICQ status was worth a lot!
It was amazing that ICQ had an open protocol that allowed you to write your own clients. I remember a rebellious one under Mandriva Linux that I built from source code. It took an enormous amount of energy. Especially later with the encodings. But what joy it was when everything started working stably!
In the picture is my honeymoon with Linux. I started making these kinds of screenshots before it became mainstream 😬

Actions have consequences — eventually:
"The United States Congress faces a Friday deadline to pass a budget for the 2025 fiscal year, or else face the shuttering of nonessential government functions."
"trump and his allies have pressured Republicans in the United States to ditch a short-term spending bill designed to avert a government shutdown."

With only 24 hours of uptime (a little less, actually), media storage is already growing rapidly.
Self-hosting is already making new appreciate those who run large instances *so* much more. I can see myself having to scale up within a month or less just to cover this experiment.
Due to the diversity of viewpoints and how easily they spread, the following has happened.
Firstly, personal judgment has gained an enormously inflated significance. You present facts, but the person responds by saying they don't believe it and gives their own answer back. And vice versa. When someone presents facts, one must either scrutinize them carefully or give up and say "I don't believe it."
Secondly, a situation has been created where a concept can have a dozen definitions, often contradictory or completely different from each other.
As a result, conversations between people start with careful probing to see if you and the person you're talking to are speaking the same language.
It's like the story of the Tower of Babel.
