I don’t think there is meaning. I’ve never read Camus or Sartre and don’t really know what determinism is (quick read on Wikipedia, I think I agree with it?), but

I keep living because it makes me feel good for the most part, and because the thought of dying makes me feel bad for the most part.

It has radicalized my previously centrist brother-in-law to the left and continues to do so.

Darktable is a godsend to me for converting film negatives.But I pretty much only use image conversion, RGB curve, then fidget with the exposure and RGB sliders in negadoctor a little more then I’m done. No idea how to do anything else.

Recently found dadrock band Geese. So good. And their lead guy, Cameron Winter, also just released a stunning solo album.

I’m pretty sure they edited it when you pointed out the inaccuracy

Right. Only reason I mention it is because entwine (rightly) noted we should be accurate when critizing the administration, and then accidentally inaccurately described him as a legal immigrant. Legal or not, it was a miscarriage of justice to send this man to El Salvador.

Hey entwine, just an FYI – Kilmar Ábrego García was not a legal immigrant. He was an illegal immigrant (of course, this doesn’t mean he was charged with a crime) who was granted a protection from deportation to El Salvador by a US judge on the grounds that he would be in danger from El Salvadorean gangs. He has had a work permit since 2019.

Nevertheless, he was not granted due process and this administration is violating court orders.

dumbest timeline

It looks like funding is back on https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2025/04/16/cve-program-funding-cut-what-it-means-and-what-to-do-next/

However, in an eleventh hour turnaround, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said it had extended the contract with MITRE. “The CVE Program is invaluable to cyber community and a priority of CISA. Last night, CISA executed the option period on the contract to ensure there will be no lapse in critical CVE services,” a CISA spokesperson told me over email. "We appreciate our partners’ and stakeholders’ patience.”

“Right-wing anarchists” makes me wanna puke. I think libertarian freestaters is probably a more accurate name.
