A propos of nothing in particular:
"Senators Hubert Humphrey (D-MN) and Herbert Lehman (D-NY) lamented that the act subjected deportees to the tyranny of bureaucrats and that deportations “without review, would be the beginning of a police state.”"

New from @candicequestions: The climate change-fueled torrential downpour—in what is already the state’s deadliest flood since 1921—has now put the county’s lack of sirens into the spotlight. Texas lawmakers had a chance just earlier this year to establish a statewide council to lay out a new disaster response plan including outdoor sirens, but the measure failed. texasobserver.org/texans-hang-…

The image displays a user interface of a web application, likely a community or collaborative platform. The background is dark, with a grid layout of application icons and labels. At the top left, the logo reads "YUNU HOST" with the username "baslow" and the name "Barry Solow" along with an email address "baslow[@]communitarium.org." The top right corner features a "Logout" button.
The grid contains twelve icons, each representing a different feature or service. The icons are arranged in two rows of six. The first row includes "Events and Groups," "Information Repository," "Forum," "Discuss Links," "Collaborative Workspace," and "Petitions." The second row features "Chat," "Email," "Anonymized Search," "Social," "Publishing," and "Blogs." Each icon is distinct, with unique colors and designs, such as a speedometer for "Events and Groups," a map for "Information Repository," and a magnifying glass for "Anonymized Search."
At the bottom of the interface, there are navigation options: "Edit my profile," "Documentation," "Support," and "Administration."

Soooo, here's the good News!
Nicht nur, dass die PreOrder super läuft (Danke Fediverse - das hätte auf anderen Plattformen so niemals funktioniert!), vor zwei Tagen hat mich eine Person kontaktiert und euch drei Shirts geschenkt!!!! 🥳
Also alle, die es sich nicht leisten können, weil es eh überall mehr oder weniger knapp ist oder aus sonstigen Gründen das Geld beisammen halten müssen - hier ist eure Chance auf ein Shirt!
Kommentiert gerne bis Montag 14.07. hier (oder PN, wenns anonym bleiben soll) mit der benötigten Größe und schon kanns los gehen! (sollte es mehr als drei Anfragen geben, werde ich losen: "first come - first serve" finde ich doof und unfair 😉)

Eine Frau sitzt an einem Tisch unter einem weißen Zelt, das einen Schatten spendet. Sie trägt eine weiße Jacke mit grauen Akzenten und ein blaues und weißes Blumenmuster-T-Shirt. Um ihren Hals hängt ein auffälliger, rundes Anhänger. Sie hat eine Handtasche mit einem geometrischen Muster auf ihrem Schoß. Vor ihr steht ein Glas Weißwein. Im Hintergrund ist ein Meer zu sehen, und andere Gäste sitzen an den Tischen. Die Atmosphäre wirkt entspannt und sonnig.

Das Bild zeigt eine Fußballanlage mit einem grünen Rasenfeld im Vordergrund, auf dem einige Spieler trainieren. Im Hintergrund ist ein modernes Gebäude mit der Aufschrift "VORAN FC ST. PAULI AMATEURE" zu sehen. Das Gebäude hat eine große Glasfront und ist Teil eines größeren Stadionskomplexes. Der Himmel ist blau mit einigen weißen Wolken, und im Hintergrund sind weitere Gebäude und eine Hafenlandschaft mit Kränen zu erkennen. Die gesamte Szene ist von einem klaren, sonnigen Tag geprägt.

Das Bild zeigt eine Gruppe von Menschen, die durch eine offene Tür in einen Fußballstadion blicken. Die Perspektive ist von hinten, sodass die Rücken der Personen sichtbar sind. Sie stehen auf einem roten Teppich, der den Eingang zum Stadion markiert. Im Hintergrund ist ein Fußballfeld zu sehen, das von Tribünen umgeben ist. Die Tribünen sind teilweise mit Sitzplätzen in Rot und Weiß bedeckt, und auf den Sitzplätzen sind große Herzen aus Sitzen angeordnet. Ein Slogan in großen Buchstaben auf den Sitzplätzen lautet "KEIN NEUES IST ILLEGAL". Im Hintergrund ist ein Gebäude mit einer grünen Dachlandschaft zu sehen, das sich von der Umgebung abhebt. Der Himmel ist leicht bewölkt, und die Atmosphäre wirkt ruhig und erwartungsvoll.

When Moderation Becomes Appeasement
If your chief goal is to find a middle ground with the far right on social issues, you’ll end up condoning its values—just ask Keir Starmer.Toby Buckle (The Bulwark)
Embedded USB Debug for Snapdragon
According to [Casey Connolly], Qualcomm’s release of how to interact with their embedded USB debugging (EUD) is a big deal. If you haven’t heard of it, nearly all Qualcomm SoCs made since 2018 have a built-in debugger that connects to the onboard USB port. The details vary by chip, but you write to some registers and start up the USB phy. This gives you an oddball USB interface that looks like a seven-port hub with a single device “EUD control interface.”
So what do you do with that? You send a few USB commands, and you’ll get a second device. This one connects to an SWD interface. Of course, we have plenty of tools to debug using SWD.
In particular, there’s a fork of OpenOCD that knows how to use EUD, although it required a library that wasn’t available to us mere mortals. But now it is, so smooth sailing, right?
Um, no. Unless you have a very specific build configuration, the code won’t compile. Luckily, the fixes are not that hard and are available. The OpenOCD fork is a bit out of date, too. But with perseverance, it all worked.
In addition to the SWD device, there appears to be a COM and trace peripheral available, although those may need more work to be usable. If you make progress on those, let us know.
SWD debugging can be very handy. While not everyone likes debuggers, we’ve been a fan of hardware-based debugging for a long time.

in reply to Lavarick 🇩🇪✌️🤘 • • •Das Bild zeigt eine historische Dampflokomotive mit mehreren Waggons auf einer Bahnstrecke. Die Lokomotive ist schwarz mit roten Akzenten und hat eine klassische Dampfmaschine mit einem großen Schornstein, aus dem dicker Rauch aufsteigt. Im Hintergrund ist ein hoher, runder Backofen aus rotem Backstein zu sehen, aus dem ebenfalls Rauch aufsteigt. Die Umgebung ist grün mit Bäumen und Sträuchern, die in verschiedenen Grüntönen leuchten. Auf der rechten Seite des Bildes steht eine Gruppe von Menschen, die das Schauspiel beobachtet, einige von ihnen mit Kamerahälsen. Einige Personen stehen unter einem blauen Sonnenschirm. Die Bahnstrecke ist mit Signalen und Schienen versehen, und im Hintergrund sind weitere historische Bahngleise und Gebäude zu erkennen.
