As people start drifting offline (comparatively if not totally) I thought I should do a Christmas card design that wasn't a messed up Victorian hellscape to wish a fun festive season to all who celebrate, and a fun non-festive season to all who don't.
I then failed to put a festive message on the design, because it ruined the picture 😆
But still... the thought is there.
Have a good one everyone x

It was no secret that authorities believed the Chinese government intended to infiltrate state and local governments across America.
For years, the FBI has warned cities and police agencies about foreign actors potentially trying to influence politics.
Two years ago, U.S. intelligence officials issued a bulletin stating that the Chinese were collecting information about local officials.
Now, federal prosecutors allege that one Chinese spy operation was underway in the San Gabriel Valley,
with the aim of gaining political allies to the country’s cause.
The scope of the operation remains unclear,
but court documents and sources familiar with the probe said at least one local council member was caught up in the alleged scheme.
The indictment is more a window into routine municipal politics than the stuff of an international spy thriller.

At least six more Palestinians were detained in fresh Israeli military raids in the occupied West Bank on Sunday.
A child was among the detainees in the raids that targeted Tulkarm, Nablus, Tubas, and Ramallah, the Palestinian Prisoner Society said.
The new arrests brought the number of Palestinians detained by the Israeli army in the West Bank since October last year to over 12,100, including those who were released after being arrested.
Las nuevas inscripciones en el marco de la Ley de Atención Médica Asequible están en camino de superar las cifras récord del año pasado en hasta un millón a medida que la administración saliente de Biden enfrenta trastornos en el programa.

It really doesn't hurt not having to sync 100 plugins to have basic IDE functionality, or losing time by reading source code because the plugin doc isn't good enough.
Hell, I lost count of how many times I gave up in configuring something that comes OOTB in vscode (like DAP) but is a PITA to do in neovim. After getting used to the kakoune model and setting up keymaps, it's hard to go back.

But I like to read email and use Mastodon from Emacs.
