No amount of Christianity faiths away grief. Whatever you may sincerely think in your mind, you will feel the weight of the loss

Neither do folks necessarily expects a widow or widower to be wholly consumed by grief, and maybe even after 11 days be able to normally engage with normal life, though as far as my experience has been, such a traumatic death tends to impact people longer…

However, it is difficult to imagine such a cheerful, at ease demeanor in the context of discussing the memorial, and celebrating how awesome the ‘merch’ did. But let’s go and give the benefit of the doubt and say that a person with almost a couple weeks under their belt can at least distract themselves by pretending this is just another event and distancing their mind from the reality that it has to do with the spouse’s death. Except then due to some context I don’t know she seems to be concerned about infighting, and says he’s dead now and get over it as a reason to stop whatever infighting she was concerned about.

So she wasn’t acting like someone who found enough strength and comfort in her faith to carry on in a functional capacity in spite of the trauma. She wasn’t acting like someone who was distracting herself from the situation. She was a person at ease and excited about engagement and merchandising, with perhaps a bit of impatience for people that need to be told to get over it, he’s dead.

Eh… he was a fair target for mockery and it’s not like his death changed any minds for the better… Charlie the martyr is far worse than Charlie the living douche.

It’s not a matter of illegal, it’s a matter of how much of a grift it is. Celebrating merch sales about your husband’s death is just sociopath level.

It matters in the context of this movement trying to play like they gave a shit about this man for the sake of sympathy when even his own widow clearly cared about engagement and merchandise than his actual death.

Admittedly, not that newsworthy because most of the world has stopped thinking about him, but TPUSA is still rolling and still riding that martyrdom angle.

Woo, more merch sales!

Eh, I think she’s fine on that front, whatever procedures she has had are a bit lighter.

She doesn’t have the over the top saw-face like others in the circle that have basically mutilated themselves with ill-advised procedures.

I didn’t know a single person whose faith caused them to feel like the loss of a loved one is no big deal. They may say that in their mind, but it hurts all the same

But maybe 11 days is enough to be a bit more collected in general, but the context is off-putting. Even thinking about revenue and merch sales during something akin to your spouse’s funeral seems like a sociopath. I’ve heard people who had absolutely moved on and normal day to day get choked up at a one year memorial when they were faced with discussing a close friend. To be directly talking about a memorial for your husband less than two weeks after his death without missing a beat, and sincerely at complete ease, not merely trying to put up a brave front… That’s not the reaction of someone that actually cared.

What i find funny are people building golang binaries without cgo and still wrapping them in full distro containers. Your binary uses nothing from the container and still it gets packaged that way…

Seen so many developers incur a huge headache trying to figure out overly complicated container setup when they could just run their already static binary without any drama…

Except Stephen Miller explicitly said they were doing it wrong and they were looking into why things were being done incorrectly…

It seems like they are spinning into it is being done wrong but it’s their fault, maybe up to and including Noem…

Well they already were starting to blame her and throw her under the bus…

It’s funny because that’s true that an old Linux binary is likely to have issues under Linux, but an similarly old Windows application might work better under Wine on Linux than modern Windows.

libc is actually relatively less likely, glibc is awfully conservative about changes, but there are a maze of likely service and library dependencies that were abandoned or didn’t regard backwards compatibility with the same importance.

I’m still on Windows 3.11 because I demand an edition for Workgroups and nothing else has it in the name!

Oh cool, let me install this software, what, it won’t install because it’s missing quicktime? Oh it needs directx 8 runtime? That could be a problem. Let’s advance the clock, 2004, that should be fine… What do you mean you can’t run .NET 1.1 applications and so that won’t run?

Ironically, wine is more likely to have a path to easily run those programs under Linux, but if you had a Linux binary from that era you’d likely have a hard time getting that to run, probably harder than the microsoft scenario. So old Windows software is more likely to run under Linux than old Linux software…

AI in vim is actually often convenient.

:set ai

Cool, now it will keep track of my indentation.

Now sometimes that gets in the way, and while you can:

:set noai

Usually it’s best for me to:

:set paste

And that’s my take on the utility of AI in vim. (that is what you meant right, there isn’t some other AI people are thinking of right?)

If you use it to make sure your deployment is sane and that your dev system didn’t have an invisible component that you assumed as a dependency, great. Containers are a great tool for simulating minimalist clean setups and not incurring surprise hidden dependencies.

If your application carries a whole container with it for the user to use and that’s the only way to use the software, that’s going to be annoying. ‘docker style’ for bloat, flatpak/snap depends on the app but sometimes the application functionality is broken by the container boundaries. Admittedly flatpak/snap is frequently acceptable, really depends on if the program has a lot of interoperability features that get broken in the flatpak/snap runtime model.

If your application only is deployable as a pod… I’m almost certainly going to want to avoid it if at all humanly possible. Pods as a self-hosted approach to do what you want, ok, fine and I own all that. If a third party pod is happening, I tend to see some part of it fall over it and no one can figure it out because the application is microserviced into oblivion and no human actually understands the whole flow… It’s possible also to do this with ‘traditional’ application delivery, but a pod is a very high sign that no one even bothered thinking hard about how it should come together and play nice with others.

Yeah, wifi is a crapshoot as to whether it might expect a cloud connection, so I have to research those devices carefully. I’m satisfied with my OpenGarage being on Wifi because I know it has no internet aspirations. I hope that Matter over Wifi devices are similarly local friendly, but I haven’t actually had anything to buy since that was an option.

Indeed, nice and layered.

If internet, wifi, internet, and zigbee/thread/zwave up, fully functional, can close my garage door from miles away

If internet is down, then everything still works within wifi range.

If local connectivity is down, well, all the local controls still work almost the same as a non-smart (the ‘on/off’ switches sit in the middle instead of being ‘on’ or ‘off’ since physical and logical state could otherwise disagree, but switch down to off, switch up to on still works).

It’s a bit of a curse, so often I come in and things magically start working… But that’s hardly satisfying, and the person that needs help just knows it’s going to bite them again… So I get to guess why it broke before it behaved for me and hopefully figure it out and fix it despite it currently working right now.

I have a number of colleagues in Europe that normally I occasionally see. Since ICE ramped up last year, none of them have set foot on American soil at all. No one wants to risk even legally being in this mess.

And is also, according to Trump at least, also not the acting president. The acting president according to Trump is… Trump

No, she was the second in the regime.

The Trump admin felt it was probably more effective to give the current regime a slap to let them know who is calling the shots, but otherwise leave the regime largely intact. If they can just get the same Venezuela as it already existed, just as a vassal state, mission accomplished.

Versus Machado, who was the opposition leader trying to ingratiate herself with Trump up to giving him her peace prize in hopes of having the US implement her indirect electoral victory in 2024. Trump administration has shown zero interest in making that happen.
