Interesting. Are they implying that China has similar corruption issues to Russia? Because I've always thought that China would execute someone for corruption, so it likely wasn't worth it for anyone to participate.

@clacke That stinks. While they probably worried about security, liability, and misuse (educational e-mail accounts sometimes qualify one for special access & prices), it still seems like a bad thing to say "I know we promised this, but we're changing our minds".
My last university didn't make any promise, but the e-mail account was still present for at least a couple of years. Then one time I decided to see whether it still existed and the answer was no. Since they hadn't made any promises and I wasn't using it anyway, it was not a big deal. -

"Targets are everywhere." Bruce Schneier's short essay on the trust / vulnerability trade-off in global supply chains is a good explainer about one of those "magic bullet" things that most people gloss over.

I know they're doing it mostly because they want T-rump to win, but it is just not something I'd support.
When I lived in SoCal, I wanted California to split its electoral votes up as well. People think CA is a monolithic Democratic state, but a large number of its voters are either Republicans, 3rd parties, or "Decline to state" unafilliated voters.
Now that I live in SWMO, I want to see Missouri split its electoral votes up as well. Most of MO is solidly 'red', but Kansas City and St Louis metro areas are solidly 'blue'.
It is probably better to get the candidates consider your state an undecided battleground state, so they'll come out frequently and possibly hear what your residents' concerns are. -

They shouldn't have waited until there were only around ten of them left. Back when there was over 100, they should have sought out a similar habitat and relocated a small number.
This "if the illegal fishing stops, they can survive" argument is flawed. Illegal fishing has killed about 98% of them so far. It isn't likely that the fisherpeople will stop illegally fishing for (also endangered) totoaba using methods that kill the porpoises as collateral damage. -

In my old #SoCal hometown, I hadn't been to the library in nearly twenty years (despite walking past it nearly every day when I was "home"). Partly because they'd pretty much stopped buying new books due to county-wide budget cuts and partly because I was often on-call and I didn't want to get sent out of state while a library book was still checked out.
Also, as Son_2 reached adulthood, there was really no need for me to take him to the library.
In my new hometown in #SWMO, I have only occasionally left the house, so I haven't seen the local library.

#Mozilla plans to end hosting its presence in the #Fediverse and close its #Mastodon server later this year as it refocuses its efforts on #Firefox and #AI.
> "We've decided to end our investment in Mozilla.social to focus on our core – Firefox – and emerging products, including AI," said Kenya Friend-Daniel, Mozilla’s Director of Product Communications. "The Fediverse is growing rapidly, and while we will continue to participate, we simply believe we can have a bigger impact on tech, overall, by committing our people and investments to other areas."
Personally, I think Mozilla can vastly improve its reach by firing everyone in the bloated CxO suite (including the Chairperson) and hiring someone who will work for $100K or less in their place. Fewer bad decisions and less money wasted on overpaying top managers.

Rumor says some really major patches are coming within 2-3 weeks. I'd just be ready to drop everything and install patches and then reboot. -

Every time I have to deal with this bank, I wish I'd been able to move my banking elsewhere when my old bank got bought out.
All banks stink, but the old bank stunk less. Plus, the new bank seems to farm most things out to 3rd parties, so even if I decide to sit through the 1.5 to 2.5 hour wait to speak with customer service, they apparently aren't bank employees. -

So, is the great and evil BOTenkhamen, ruler of all BOTS by virtue of the "first BOT to boot is boss" rule, the acknowledged ruler of the LLMs, or do the various intelligent software robots have separate rulers? -

Pat's Path Predictor on YouTube ... Dude, you're hyperventilating about Invest 97L (possible future Tropical Storm / Hurricane Helene) with no assurance that there's even going to be a named storm.
As I understand it, he's a meteorology student. Probably about 21 years old.
I just feel like he's trying to hype things in order to generate more views and follows instead of sticking to giving us a hype-free view of what he sees.
I'd like to see him drop the hype, since he's probably hoping to get hired at some TV station at some point.

Farewell, Ron a/k/a "Philly". I didn't know you well, though I interacted with your wife and stepson periodically over the past 25+ years (and rarely with your son, but I haven't seen him in at least a decade). You did a good job the time I took my car to the shop where you worked and I'm always getting greetings relayed from your stepson at the various Army bases where he gets stationed.
RIP. -

@kevie Yeah, bank corruption and bank failures tend to hurt anyone around them except the people running the banks.
As much as he might wish to remain a homeowner, I think he's better off getting out of that situation. -

#NOAA / #NWS alerted for severe #t-storms in the vicinity of Springfield earlier this evening. hail and 60MPH wind gusts, not tornadoes or heavy rain or flooding. My neighborhood got some rain, but not much else. -

I need to buy a couple of UPS units for my room. About 2X/week, there's enough of a blip to reset the clock and the weather alert radio.
I have some in SoCal, but they've been unpowered for years because the outlets in my old bedroom had been wired incorrectly. They probably all need to be replaced anyway. -

One day, person is talking about true life killings with dismemberment
Next day, person is describing near orgasmic pleasure from using GNOME.
The two things can't be related, right? Right?
