Look, far be it from me to tell the goddamn Biden Administration how to run their business. But it just seems to me that in an election year, when you're lagging in the polls, *and* the Opposition controls the Senate, you probably don't want to set up a scenario in which one of the cabinet secretaries checks in to the hospital and NOBODY TELLS ANYBODY for multiple days.

You misspelled "world-class athlete forced to work at fucking Wal-Mart because the United States practices Capitalism in its purest form."

Sitting in a Toyota dealership in semi-rural NC and so far I have heard [the original] “Ballroom Blitz,” Motley Crue’s “Girls Girls Girls,” “Blitzkrieg Bop,” and “Tom Sawyer.”Is this “Classic Rock”?

This contextless world in which Led Zep’s “Rock and Roll” segues seamlessly into the Romantics’ “What I Like About You” is truly the bright utopian future we were promised as young people.

This Rob Hordijk / Biyi Amez collab synth has gone from a rough edition of 5 to something more playable & also semi-mass-produced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLzE3cEOZPY

I just bought a Corolla Cross Hybrid and I hadn’t even read this article yet. Now that I have, I’m intrigued to learn that it’s the only small crossover in the US that achieves “on demand” all-wheel-drive with a gas/electric hybrid drivetrain in the front, plus an extra electric motor to drive the rear wheels when needed.Which seems like a no-brainer, sorta, given a certain set of design criteria. https://www.theautopian.com/i-cant-believe-the-30k-toyota-corolla-cross-hybrid-is-this-good/

@jason0x21 I’m pleased to report that apparently it is standard nowadays to do the full “We Will Rock You” —> “We Are the Champions” twofer. I was worried for a minute.

Honestly, weirdest thing about it was that the kid had one of those pull-up diapers pulled down to its knees so . . .

OK this is fascinating, especially the “replaced with such high quality forgeries that only an expert can detect them” part. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/01/books/booksupdate/rare-books-pushkin-disappearance.html?unlocked_article_code=1.pU0.H-ib.qCjP94-LMCcx&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb

It's almost frustrating that in addition to being one of the greatest natural climbers who has ever lived, it turns out that Alex Honnold is also a really good color commentator: https://www.youtube.com/live/DZ7EP7huY0E

I had an interesting conversation with some #Docker executives on Friday, in which they highlighted some changes to their terms of service / business model. TL;DR: enterprises are now expected to pay for a full Docker subscription for *any* access to any "Docker Platform" features, including Docker Hub, regardless of pull rate.So, for example, if you're a company with > 250 employees or > $10M revenue, and you have a Linux box pulling one open source image a week from Docker Hub, you must buy a Docker subscription for that box. And any others. Previously, their website verbiage was focused solely on usage of Docker Desktop by enterprises.If you are an #OpenSource maintainer and you're publishing container images on Docker Hub, they are monetizing your images, and they're doing so via a flat monthly rate regardless of consumption level. (IMHO that rate is too high, but YMMV, I guess)This is obviously their prerogative. Really my only request/suggestion to Open Source maintainers who publish container images would be to consider also publishing them on GitHub's container registry (aka GitHub Packages) or any other registry, rather than single-sourcing with Docker Hub.

@Ricardus Ooh, I wish I still had my OG, entirely rectangular 1202. I have no real use for a little mixer anymore, but I truly appreciated its boxy chonk.

I know we are all overloaded with the sheer volume of the fuckedness, but even so, I feel like I haven’t seen this story mentioned much. The $100k H1-B fee is messed up, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the other big feature of this story. https://apnews.com/article/h1b-visa-trump-immigration-8d39699d0b2de3d90936f8076357254e
