Beijing is actively cooperating with the international community. The Chinese authorities have confirmed their readiness to engage with all relevant parties to maintain the credibility of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT).

I assume this is a response to Trump’s decision to re-institute testing?

Syncthing uses a centralized discovery server to connect device IDs to IP addresses (although you can change this to point to your own discovery server, too).

I don’t know if Funkwhale has a similar option.

Reminds me of the Berkeley balcony collapse during a student party ten years ago.

Entire story content:

Sen. Mitch McConnell, 83, fell to the ground in a Capitol hallway Thursday afternoon as he made his way to Senate votes. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

New update:

McConnell, who announced in February that he would not seek reelection, fell to the floor while two volunteers from the environmental advocacy group Sunrise Movement approached the senator and asked him a question about Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions. He did not respond to the question. The senator seemed unsteady, but got up and kept walking with the help of his detail. He then waved to the two individuals who were questioning him.

First they came for the woodwinds, and I said nothing because I play in strings.

Instead of emulating Pokémon directly, hobbyists should emulate ICE emulating Pokémon.

The law makes an exception for medical masks.

The law doesn’t go into effect until January 2026, and the text of the law seems to give agencies until July 2026 to comply. That falls between the 2026 primaries and general election—presumably that will make enforcement of this law an election issue for candidates for local sheriff and state office.

Solution: convince Trump to unilaterally rename the Jordan the “Charlie Kirk Memorial River”, and then the West Bank will no longer be west of the Jordan.

We’ve already inadvertently created antibiotic-resistant bacteria—what happens when bacteria evolve resistance to AI?

Ah yes—the only known force weaker than gravity.

First I’ve heard of StopNCII… what’s to stop it from being abused to remove (say) images of police brutality or anything else states or “participating companies” don’t want to be seen?

Nah—the danger he represents is not as an individual but as an example. His fate needs to serve as a deterrent, and apparently unrelated random violence doesn’t have that effect.

But would the energy recovered from using it as fuel be more than the energy required to ship it to China?

Seems like an opportunity for a bunch of street artists to show up at court and pull an “I’m Spartacus”.

The only foreigner I’ve heard glorifying violence after Kirk’s killing is Elon Musk.
