Technology nerd. Former Idaho 🥔 person. Now California 🏖️ person. Embedded Linux is my jam. And it's always WiFi's fault. Writing a GNU Make debugger in Python for fun. #linux #wifi #python

No mother or child should die from a preventable cause. No generation should live in fear of deadly infectious diseases. And no one should be denied the chance to thrive because of where they were born. gatesnot.es/4m5pSc3

Have been reading this since Day #1 and it's wonderful.

Bluesky pals! I have a long-form sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, and it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment, I highly, highly recommend a deep-dive! The entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com BONUS TODAY: Snow planet! :)

Okay, farmers, you heard him, over the next month you need to turn your wheat crop that was set for export into sugar cane you can sell domestically. Surely you can do this if you just believe enough in Trump's greatness.

@peterclines.bsky.social From your newsletter, "I was thinking of San Luis Obispo at one point, but I don’t really know the town." Holy cheese, I would be over the moon if you come to SLO! (I live close to SLO.) LA is also good. I'm looking forward to your signing in Burbank later this month!

Linux kernel makefile uses static pattern rules which I have not implemented. Le sigh. Maybe I should shoot a little lower for my first "real" makefile execution. I need to add .PHONY support to run GNU Make's own makefile.

If California stopped letting Washington DC take $86,000,000,000 a year that we don’t get back, we could fund a lot of projects to improve the lives of our people.

Universal healthcare, great schools, funded accessible universities and colleges, public health programs, a Cal national park system, etc

$86 billion - that is how much more California pays in federal taxes than we receive back in payments and services. Largest donor state in America by far. And this is the treatment we get. It's time for a new future. #CalExit

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

the all but official position of the republican party is that voting for democrats disqualifies you from federal disaster assistance

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Rep. Warren Davidson on California federal disaster relief: "If they want the money, then there should be consequences where they have to change their policies ... CA wants the money without changing the policies that are making the problem worse & I don't see how Rs could possibly support that."

Immigration attacks are going to be predominately used against California. As a deep blue state, the administration is going to punish us.

“We’re in the middle of our citrus harvesting. This sent shockwaves through the entire community,” said Casey Creamer, president of the industry group California Citrus Mutual. “People aren’t going to work & kids aren’t going to school. Yesterday about 25% of the workforce, today 75% didn’t show up”

No one is coming to save us.

We invested a lot of time and energy in the hashtag resistance but it's definitely past time to invest in community resiliency bc no one, absolutely no one, is coming to save us.

“Will pay any amount.” Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

Narrator voice, "Yes. Yes, they do."

The Idaho legislature is printing a resolution the the Supreme Court to overturn same sex marriage. Do they really tell themselves that writing their personal religious ideas in law is more important to Idahoans than our state’s crisis in housing, childcare & rent affordability? #idaho #queerthreads

Why are people discussing what the orange ding-dong merely claims he's going to do? His entire shtick is just talking, talking, talking and basking in the attention.

They have just come to accept what everyone has been saying. Emperor Trump will be sworn in, they not just want to survive, they want to blossom. America will be sliced and diced like Russia was under the oligarchs. They all want a piece of the action, and make the blossoming permanent.

There is no “solution.” What we are seeing is a sea change in the media. The Post is dead. So is CNN. We are watching their death throes. It’s sad.
