Do people actually like these fake personas that presenters do at keynotes?
I just want to see a human giving me information. Like a real human not have someone feigning excitement.
That doesn't mean don't do demos or things, just do it like a fucking human.
Nobody talks/works this way.

Semiannual reminder that if the holidays are reminding you that you want to help your neighbors, pick a day and put it on your calendar. My homeless friends have told me that they could eat 30 free meals on Thanksgiving if they wanted to, but mid- February or March it all dries up!

So I set out to be able to control my monitors over DDC with a keyboard shortcut.
My monitors support DDC, but *not* over DP, only HDMI.
Also, tools like brightnessctl only support displays in /sys/class/backlight (ie., laptop panels).

This may need to be a blog post, but users tend to think ingress-nginx is simple because they can go to town with annotations. In reality, the features that they want are actually really complex to expose safely. This is why the project struggled with CVEs.

I joyfully gave up my last micro USB (I spit on your grave micro USB) about a year go.
I thought I was done forever.
Good riddance to the most awful of connector.
Until today, I got a medical device that uses micro USB.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Nothing line the smell of Dijon in the morning.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Even if there was fraud, which there is little to none by all accounts, fraud for obtaining *food* is the least bad fraud on the planet... really the only thing that would make it super bad is some rich asshole stealing it.

In late 80s I was social worker in Houston working in Verification unit for food stamps. Made unannounced home visits to verify applicants were qualified &had reported all income etc. Unit was dismantled because cost more to run than were recovering. Very little fraud.So many myths/lies about SNAP
As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

Reproducible builds are a means to an end.
The end being independent verification.
The problem is, we already have tons of things that go into builds that have always been reproducible (source tars), and these aren't generally verified.
Reproducible builds don't save us. Verification does.
