Passage from Carl Sagan’s A demon-haunted world book.

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.

After his successful consolidation of power, the Leader prepares for show trials of those who resisted his first failed putsch.

Just venting here, but is there a sys admin, dba, SRE, developer, or IT manager out there that doesn’t loathe Oracle? They go around bullying and extorting organizations. It wastes so much time and resources.

Wow, this detail @thielman.bsky.social caught. www.forever-wars.com/exiting-luig...

Alcohol is addictive, leads to bad decisions, and impairs judgment.But Prohibition created more problems than it solved.

Same logic applies to marijuana: banning doesn’t stop use; it just pushes it into unregulated, unsafe markets.

Addiction & harm are *public health* issues, not criminal ones.

A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes

The truth is that it hurts because it's real-it hurts because it mattered

I’d pay for one of these. Maybe on a pillow.

Deno v. Oracle: Canceling the JavaScript Trademark Oracle is holding the JavaScript trademark hostage, and we’re pursuing legal means to #FreeJavaScript. Here’s a brief update.

It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle.

We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.

It's time to #FreeJavaScript.
