"France is currently glowing red with heat. Not metaphorically. Literally. Land surface temperatures in parts of the country have been recorded at levels more commonly associated with the Sahara Desert.

France. The country of vineyards, alpine villages, stone farmhouses, rivers, forests and temperate European summers. Looking like the Sahara. That should stop us in our tracks.

The real story isn’t that France is having a heatwave. It’s that climate change is making places behave like somewhere else. Places are beginning to lose the climate that shaped their buildings, their farms, their infrastructure, their ecosystems, their communities, cultures and expectations of normal life.

France isn’t built for the Sahara. Its schools, homes, hospitals, railways, power stations and aged-care facilities weren’t designed for repeated extreme heat. Its rivers weren’t meant to run so hot that nuclear power stations have to reduce output because cooling water is too warm. Its classrooms weren’t meant to become dangerous places for children to sit exams."

Following recent news, we have cancelled Mullvad's sponsorship of EMF 2026.

Ireland is a wholly owned lapdog of Big Tech -- taking advantage of a cynical system that enriches one tiny nation at the expense of everyone else, especially in the US and the EU. It's pure corruption. Why do the many, many losers in this arrangement let it go on? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jun/30/ireland-big-tech-lapdog-eu-presidency-digital-sovereignty

@matdevdug One should also be careful with wired stuff during these crazy times: https://mjtsai.com/blog/2024/06/03/lightning-headphones-that-require-bluetooth/

It's ridiculous that Windows these days silently fails if it can't find a DLL. Instead of a friendly error message saying "Hey idiot, you don't have VCRUNTIME666 installed!", I have to break out Procmon or dive into Registry to see what's going on.

I guess this has something to do with all the "Download missing DLL here" malware nests, good that we granted Google monopoly in search so they can handle such ugly cases...

@aristot73 hot take: marketing is at the heart of infosec problems.

Google is apparently testing a new reCAPTCHA method that prompts you to turn on your device's camera to prove you are human by scanning your hands.

I assume this will eventually be mandatory, just like the current reCAPTCHA.

@jonny @aburka "nothing can be trusted to do anything because it never throws (so that the tests pass)" OMG yes, this is literal damned asbestos as code and it's EVERYWHERE!

It's the second time I wasted way too many hours figuring out that kdnet debugging doesn't work across #Proxmox VMs because...

...fuck knows why. When I do the same stuff with a new VM it just works.

Anyway, useful resources:

Did you wake up today thinking "gosh, I wonder what's the difference between semantic and syntactic entailment?" If yes, I have great news!

This is the latest in my series of articles meant to explain the foundations of math in an accessible way. My inspiration is looking at Wikipedia and then trying the opposite.
