I also dislike Iran's political system, but overall the US has killed, maimed, tortured and ruined the lives of many more people then Iran's government ever could. US is currently the most evil country on this planet, and has been in the running ever since its founding.
But even then, let's suppose for a second that somehow Iran's government is more evil. So what? Bombing Tehran city center, destroying mosques and museums, causing an immense ecological disaster by blowing up oil reservoirs, and double-tapping an all-girls school with tomahawks will not help the people of Iran in any way. It made their lives measurably, verifiably worse for generations.
US has been doing the exact same shit to leftists ever since the founding of USSR, this is not new. Sadly the tea party people have nothing to worry about.
$3.68/gal is just under $1/L, or 0.85€ / L. Still insanely cheap.
Ok, so correct me if I'm wrong, but usually the reason you do this is because the cost to produce this benefit is lower than the price you usually sell it for, so you can inflate the claimed value of the benefit, both to appeal to candidates and to write it off on your taxes. But at the moment tokens are usually sold way below cost (i.e. the companies are not profitable), so why the fuck would any company do this? Are they this short on cash now?
Between this and GrapheneOS+Motorola thing, is Lenovo becoming less shit again? Awesome!
I can’t remember the site, now, but I literally couldn’t log into one this week because the email never arrived.
Well, email allows you to solve that issue by self-hosting. But what you can't solve is that if you do self-host, gmail will drop your emails to spam or just discard them completely, just because it feels like it, even if you do the whole dance with DMARC and have used the domain for a good few years. It's frustrating as shit.
Don't forget the Ukraine war and the ongoing social, health and economic consequences of the pandemic
You're about 2 weeks too late for that, US&Israel have committed multiple war crimes already.
The previous post-911 logic of "Dave slapped me because I was an asshole to everyone in the class, so now I'm going to torture and kill Rick who kinda looks like Dave to me" was not much better
Well, technically the condition was to expel the israeli and US ambassadors. This is the other way around, and AFAIK withdrawing your own ambassador is considered a less aggressive move than expelling the ambassador of the other country. And either way I strongly doubt they will do anything about their US relationship. So this seems to be just a based thing to do rather than trying to comply with iranian demands
P.S. it seems israel already withdrawn their ambassador from Spain last May, so this move now feels completely unrelated to the demands.
Yeah sure, this movie with 1.3 rating and 5 (out of 100) metascore, with only 50k ratings, is the #1 movie this week. The algorithm is really transparent and trustworthy, clearly there's no manipulation going on.

This is my daily driver at the moment - X201s modded with a 51nb motherboard with i7-10710u (a.k.a X2100). A lot of geo nerd cred to whomever can guess the location by the mountains :)

I liked posting a picture here so I think I will try to do it weekly :)
This is what the dawn of January 1st 2025 looked like for me. We've slept in my van through the night to get this view. The temperature was about -20℃ but it was worth it in the end.
The flats in the picture is the frozen Lake Paravani and the mountains are the Samsari ridge.

Since today is my first cake day, I've decided it's time to post instead of commenting. This is a picture I took last month on my phone through binoculars. Taken from Gomismta, the mountains you see are the Main Caucasian Ridge.

I have multiple contributions to FOSS projects (incl. small patches to bash and linux), and I'm a commit-access maintainer of Nixpkgs. While I do use a local LLM occasionally for boilerplate stuff, the attitude here makes me immediately distrustful of the Lutris maintainers. Going out of your way to disable the Claude Co-Authored-By on commits is counterproductive and dangerous to the project in the long run. LLMs can often confidently spit out good-looking code with subtle but critical flaws. Commits with non-trivial amounts of LLM output need way more scrutiny than human-written commits, and making it more difficult to tell the two apart is fucked up.
