Dude. We have all seen your bookcases, this is a healthy hobby.

Debunked: The PSNI was not involved with breaking up fuel protests in Cork, Galway or Dublin Similar claims appeared during the 2024 protests in Newtownmountkennedy

Fair play to @thejournal.ie who time and time again debunk Irish far-right fake news and disinformation. Just like this latest one right here. It shows how stupid the Irish far-right are when they fell for this.

I am so happy for you both! Fantastic news!

google has decided that the gmail.com account I have had for two decades does not exist.

I'm logged into it. I can send mail.

Sending mail to that account results in "This account does not exist."

Just me, or are others seeing weirdness?

We have started posting flyers for our meetings to help get the word out:
www.nycbug.org/media/2026-0...
If you know of any CS Departments who would like to know about this and future meetings, please let me know. Please excuse my complete lack of design skills.

progress on my slides for the NYCBUG talk next Wednesday.

Yes, an April Fools' talk. On #openzfs, sort of. #sysadmin

Yes, this is stupid. Even the bidders know it.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
