Out of an abundance of caution my Department of Public Safety is recommending that people do not attend any political rallies today in Minnesota until the suspect is apprehended.

SOUTH LOOP ICE Mass Arrests Spark Chaos In South Loop As Activists Fight To Disrupt Operation At least 10 people were arrested at check-ins under an ICE monitoring program for immigrants, and an alderman said he was thrown to the ground by agents while protesting the arrests. By Francia Garcia Hernandez and Sebastián Hidalgo 17 hours ago

Reports of the arrests, which quickly spread on social media, prompted activists and alderpeople to arrive on scene at the office building at 2245 S. Michigan Ave. to resist and document the arrests. A chaotic scene unfolded, and Ald. Anthony Quezada (35th) later said ICE agents pushed him to the ground as the tense scene unfolded. Quezada told Block Club at least 10 people were detained by immigration agents Wednesday, with the alderman citing community organizers. Quezada said one advocate told him people received text messages informing them to come to the building for "surprise check-ins" as part of the federal Intensive Supervision Appearance Program.

Tensions escalated outside the office building as agents led detainees out to vans. Most agents wore face coverings and some carried long guns. They were seen pushing back some of the alderpeople and residents who assembled to protest, and Quezada later said he was aggressively pushed to the ground by agents. A child could also be heard asking if his mother was among those being led to the vans as he frantically searched for her.

Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday.

They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for “surprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials.

THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

Data star is great. It’s really what htmx tried to do but I think didnt get right. The use of SSE is the correct solution. I made a turn based rpg with data star and go. Really fun exercise.

I switched to Linux for my daily driver on jan 1st from mac. I've absolutely loved my Linux journey so far. I will say though, I really miss my mac's battery life. I really do lol

I’ve gone back to stackoverflow recent and realized how much more time effective it is for docs and debugging. Like the answer that the models are using is likely from stackoverflow. Just go to stackoverflow so you know its going to work.

I’ll be the boomer and say it: this will age like milk. LLMs are a race to the bottom on our collective knowledge bank as a species.

It’s like people have had this spell cast on them where they suddenly forgot that google has existed for 2 decades. All of a sudden people are talking like they’re back in 1998 with “the world at their finger tips! Any answer is just a click away! Welcome to the World Wide Web!”

Wittgenstein mentioned :D

Fedora > Ubuntu for dev work

Simply because the package registry for dev tools is up-to-date

Thats fair. It probably reached a critical threshold in the last 5ish years.

Still miss my youtube inbox being empty c:

It has been like this since we switched to engagement driven algos and switched away from a chronological feed as the default.

I miss the days of seeing every new post from my friends and people i follow in 30-45min and the feed saying “no new posts!”

Devs and their fascination with a tilted plus sign

If this story didn't have today's date, I would've thought it was a Depression-era headline.

Think im dealing with a @bsky.app SDK bug.

Sometimes richtext.detectFacets() appends 2 extra characters behind a hashtag and sometimes it doesnt… its leading to a really annoying facet positioning bug for me.

Lmao. I can't stop laughing at this stupid meme.. just sharing for lulz

Them: “no ‘war plans’ were discussed”

The chat:

Anyone know how to render a hyperlink as a word instead of the full URL with the BlueSky TypeScript API?

The URL facet is getting detected in my richtext but I cant seem to display the link as a single word instead of the entire URL.

I really wish @bsky.app would improve their golang quick start docs. Not sure why golang is completely missing from the quick start section, while a third party python library is included.

Im stuck building a bluesky bot mvp in typescript and pulling my hair out at ts being ts lol.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

If backend devs think sql is some esoteric art, wait until they see a typical react build chain lol.

Does asdf not cover this?
