I forgot to post this here yesterday. I attended the hearing yesterday for Peter Williams -- the former general manager of Trenchant charged with selling zero days to a Russian zero-day purchasing platform -- and this is my piece for Wired about what prosecutors revealed at the hearing. I had expected Williams to plead not guilty at the hearing so it was a surprise when his attorneys stated that he'd already agreed to plead guilty.
"Younger generations of Americans are increasingly citing climate change as making them reticent to have children, according to several studies. They are worried about bringing children into a world with increasing and more intense extreme weather events, a result of climate change, which is caused by the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide when oil, gas coal are burned."
I guess now Prince Andrew has been demoted to just an average bloke we can totally forget about Epstein and his paedo island and all the other rich fuckers who flew there on his private jet or attended his questionable parties, because justice has been done in that the most unpopular royal has had a right kick in the nuts and lives on his brother's estate on his brother's handouts and nobody else was involved at all ever in dodgy sex goings on, oh no.

Amazon, UPS, and Intel are conducting layoffs for very specific reasons.
To cut fixed costs, like payroll, so they can cater to Wall Street demanding AI adoption, despite its very high failure rate.
This may be a first.
Hiding catastrophic losses on a doomed-to-failure speculative initiative like AI, just because the people who own or buy your stock have ordered an energy hog be placed on your books. Or else.
For most of the year, it looked like power demand from AI was insatiable, sending investors rushing into shares of the companies that generate electricity. Whether …

This is a digital illustration featuring two people embraced in a close hug, likely lying down. The color palette is warm, dominated by shades of orange and brown, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere. One person has long, dark, wavy hair and is holding the other close. The second person has long, pinkish-red hair and is nestled into the first person's embrace, with eyes closed. Both appear to be wearing white garments, possibly pajamas or sleepwear. A portion of a red object, potentially a plush toy, is visible on the left edge of the image.

Une distribution Linux méconnue, mais qui mériterait plus de visibilité.
Mageia est l'héritière d'une des premières distro Linux généraliste, Mandriva / Mandrakelinux francophone (ma première aventure!).
D'origine française, avec une communauté d'entraide hyperactive, proposant de nombreux gestionnaires de bureau, elle est réputée pour sa grande stabilité. Adoptée dans les domaines de l'éducation et de la culture, elle vaut vraiment une petite visite et un essai sérieux!
Une image noire contient un logo bleu clair. Le logo est composé d'un cercle avec un point au-dessus de celui-ci, suivi de texte. Le texte dit "mageia". Le point au-dessus du cercle est composé de plusieurs petits points. L'ensemble du logo est petit et centré dans l'image. ― Une fenêtre avec un fond bleu foncé affiche un écran d'installation, probablement pour un système d'exploitation. Dans la partie gauche, une liste verticale contient les éléments suivants : « INSTALLATION », « Langue », « Licence », « Partitionnement », « Installation », « CONFIGURATION », « Utilisateurs », « Résumé », « Mises à jour », « Quitter ». Au centre, trois icônes sont affichées avec des options pour choisir un environnement de bureau. La première icône montre une représentation abstraite de points bleus sur un fond bleu foncé, suivie de « Plasma ». La deuxième icône présente un logo de système bleu foncé sur un fond bleu foncé avec « GNOME » en dessous. La troisième icône montre des images de personnages bleus et violets sur un fond bleu foncé avec « Personnalisé » en dessous. Un bouton « Suivant » est présent dans le coin inférieur droit. Le texte « INSTALLATION » est affiché en haut à gauche, et « CONFIGURATION » est affiché à gauche des options « Utilisateurs » et « Résumé ». En bas à gauche, un bouton « Aide » est visible. Le texte « Vous pouvez choisir un profil de bureau » et « Cliquez pour agrandir » sont également présents au centre.

Basically, it's this helicopter parent notion that strangers are scary and kids shouldn't be allowed out to knock on doors, so they set up these artificial gatherings of known parents to trade candy with rather than just walking neighborhoods and getting to meet other people.
In my area, we're up against a lack of sidewalks making walking in the dark unsafe and the houses are far enough apart that the young kids aren't going to get a "proper haul" before they get too cold and tired to go on. The elementary school puts on a trunk or treat so that the young kids in particular can have a concentrated place to get a bunch of candy and don't need to walk on the side of a dark road. Then also everyone hits up the nearest dozen houses or so on the night itself.
My sister-in-law lives on a busy county highway, so they hit up their local trunk or treat, just their immediate neighbors (I don't think they even cross the street), then drive the couple towns over to my place and the cousins all trick or treat together.
I dunno. I've never heard another parent say anything about being worried about their kid knocking on a dangerous door, but I will also readily admit to not being the most socially aware person. When I have heard safety concerns, though, it's always that we've built towns where you can't safely walk anywhere.
God, I went to trunk or treats in like. . . the 2000s (surprise surprise, Mormons picked up on the trend early) and there's the part of me that appreciates the "festival by way of community" but I fully agree on the arguments for them.
(I should see about trying to organize a block party next year. Give some of the same benefits, but encourage my community to know each other better.)
@pathunstrom or I know some people will have a trunk or treat some other time with friends and social groups and whatever on non Halloween, and still go door to door on Halloween
@pathunstrom I do have kids (four of them), and I'm not a fan of trunk or treats as the exclusive candy gathering method. Halloween is the most community-oriented holiday. I release my children into the neighborhood, hand out candy, and "ooh" at little kid costumes until they get back whenever.

I have written about the 5th day of the Ark of Coral Reefs cruise. On this day, we explored Yakushima, a granitic batholith covered in trees that are thousands of years old.
Day 5 of the cruise (September 18) began with us already at the port in Yakushima. It looked to be a beautiful day. We were connecting with local organizations working on monitoring the corals on t…
Please share: New day, and new chance to reject surrender. I don't say that symbolically. Six families under genocide survive with your help. You help stop genocide. For all of our poems and confessions of hopelessness, this remains true.
We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter.

The US government has been repurposed to become the largest human trafficking organization the world will ever know..
Shipping people off to prison in other countries, for some reason, strikes me as the pathway that those individuals end up in slavery or dead.
Utah is building an internment camp I guess for homeless which will contain work structured facilities.. read that force labor camps. I guess RFK jr gets his camps.
US government helps Silicon Valley firms sell surveillance technology to China 1/
> U.S. lawmakers have tried four times since September last year to close what they called a glaring loophole: China is getting around export bans on the sale of powerful American #AI #chips by renting them through U.S. #cloud services instead.
> But the proposals prompted a flurry of activity from more than 100 lobbyists from tech companies and their trade associations trying to weigh in, according to disclosure reports.
> The result: All four times, the proposal failed, including just last month.
> Following a long-heralded meeting between leaders Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, the sale of #US technology to China remains among the thorniest issues the U.S. faces, with billions of dollars and the future of tech dominance at stake. But the tough talk about #China obscures a deeper story: Even while warning about #nationalsecurity and #humanrights abuse, the U.S. government across five Republican and Democratic administrations has repeatedly allowed and even actively helped American firms to sell #technology to Chinese police, government agencies and #surveillance companies, an Associated Press investigation has found. apnews.com/article/chinese-sur… #DonaldTrump #XiJinping
I've just successfully installed the new version of #Affinity and will be spending the next week trying to figure out a new UI. Two things I really like so far: the new adjustment brush (as demonstrated; I haven't used it yet) and the fact that Canva has given an absolute promise that the program will continue to run without any further need for online contact. Since the machine that I use for photos is going to continue running Win 10 offline, this is really good news.

The state has vowed to step in and provide food assistance for many who face a cut-off in federal SNAP aid. But there is still fear and anxiety about how to get by.
