It’s a GREAT festival. Super fun. Every neighborhood you can just walk around and there are little stages of groups or solo musicians performing. Free and just kind of everywhere. Good vibes. Very pedestrian friendly.

What it is is the data they funneled from the NLRB and social security and others. See the hackathon at SSA last weekend of palantir being “evaluated” as a possible third party vendor. No contract signed. They just took the data. The NLRB whistleblower story is terrifying. They literally deleted the logs after doge visited.

Hey gamers: try bazzite Linux and you won’t ever have to worry about this. Try bringing one old machine over as a test and you’ll see for yourself.

I got it running in an afternoon recently. It reads all your windows docs off an external backup. The desktop version really can be a daily driver. The update script is a single click. Genuinely worth considering if you want at least some of your computer usage to not be recorded 24/7.

The US is paying El Salvador money to hold these people. Acting like there is nothing either can do is about as boldface a lie as there is. They can literally do anything they want and have control of both sides of any contracts.

This is them saying “what are you going to do about it?” And what should happen is people need to keep the pressure on so Congress sides with the courts asap (and this guys’ Senator is flying there next week to see him personally).

People have? The doge team have us Marshalls that let them in and push the staffers out of the way. It’s happened at the IRS, USAID, and others.

Here’s an agency which doge had no right to close still getting pushed out after blockading the office.

Don’t worry. For some of us, the riff started immediately. Still hasn’t quit.

Called it. I hate it. https://sh.itjust.works/comment/17841211

Obviously AI is coming for sound designers too. You know that right? https://elevenlabs.io/sound-effects

And if you work on games and you haven’t seen your industry decimated in the past 16 months, I want to know what rock you have been living under and if there’s room for one more.

That’s an American not being recused by America. He’s had no due process. And unlike hostages held by the worst terrorists or oppressive regimes anywhere else in the world, they won’t even fight to get him back.

Leaving a comment to poll the chat: Who thinks the “existing contract with a credit rating agency” — who now thanks to this code injection will get a lot of new information that was previously filtered before it reached their part of the SS process — is tied to Peter Thiel?

(I honestly don’t know, just trying to ask the room)

Yeah it’s really more that since ten years ago, that the people who have been buying up homes are buying lots.

So the average person gets no house and the rich and corporations own many houses (then rent them out at high costs or sit on them as a private collection like a summer home or portfolio home).

Instead of taking our jobs they’re taking our… chance for academic instruction?

Where is his suit? Does he not respect the office? /s

Ah dang. Very cool though. Crazy collection. They also had the ice pick that killed Trotsky and an ENIGMA machine… (I think maybe both of those are the real things)

You can go see it in person in the spy museum in Washington DC!

Thanks for all the great work, El Duderino!

It’s not like the Bible was translated to English until centuries later when England became a thing. You’re complaining about a letter in an alphabet that wasn’t relevant yet.

Hebrew: יְהוֹשֻׁעַ יֵשׁוּעַ

Greek: Ἰησοῦς

Aramaic: Iēsous

Latin (maybe you’ll like this more?): IESVS

See how we get there?

This makes a lot of sense and I wouldn’t have thought about it.

Could you offer any tips about recording ambient tone? Just like some omnidirectional mics in the space for 5-10 minutes? Or just the same mics you use for performers or the field recording (eg shotgun mics)?
