Great article on the culture shock of returning to visit America after living in the Netherlands for a few years. The author after listening to her friends brag about overworking:
'“I can’t watch you live like this anymore,” I blurted out, mascara streaming down my face as they stared in shock. “This isn’t normal. None of this is normal.”'

CDC ordering researchers to retract scientific publications under review or even accepted for review but not yet published if they contain any reference to LGBTQ+ populations.
The literal Table 1 of science, for anyone who studies human beings ever, under attack.
If I were at a public agency like this (which is completely possible and I almost went that way multiple times) every single one of my public studies would be censored. Every one.

Police Use of Face Recognition Continues to Wrack Up Real-World Harms
Police have shown, time and time again, that they cannot be trusted with face recognition technology (FRT). It is too dangerous, invasive, and in the hands of law enforcement, a perpetual liability.Electronic Frontier Foundation

Disclaimer: I am not a constitutional scholar, but I still harbor a quaint belief in the rule of law and stuff.
I don't see how Musk can operate in his current role without Senate confirmation. The appointments clause requires any principal officer of the United States (who exercises "significant authority") to be confirmed first. And if locking agency heads out of their own systems isn't "significant authority", I don't know what could be.
Sigh.
Observing from the outside, it's been driving me nuts, too. The USA has constitutional law, statute law, regulations, procedures, norms against so much of what your new administration has been doing for the last two weeks.
And ... no one's doing anything about it. You may as well not have any prohibitions on any of it at all -- if you don't enforce the laws, they're not laws. If a tree falls in the forest, etc, etc.
Musk's monkeying with the money machinery is just the latest example - clearly exceeding any legal authority he might have, and ... crickets. The Democrats aren't even making a peep about most of this stuff.
Between the "stupid evil" nature of the threat and the existing systems, I thought that it would at least slow them down some, but it's like no one's even trying. I'm no longer confident that any significant remnant of the US experiment will exist in four years.

Well, the past year has shown us that the supposed "rules-based international order" is just an awful joke. Same goes for the rest.
The wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet have been undermining every democratic institution-- and our "democracy" was pretty damn flawed to begin with, established as it was by genocidal, ecocidal, white supremacist slavers.
This is finally the transition to corporate feudalism.
For a long while now, the sovereignty of nations has been largely decorative. Even the facade is crumbling now, turning ugly and slow and broken, but still lingering-- the collapsing system will trap ordinary people in a tangled and spastic mass of bureaucratic wreckage, while those with wealth and connections buy themselves tickets to the rareified heights where they can get what they want.

3 Bibliotheksaufrufe (Funktionen in Programmbibliotheken)
for reference, the english version:
3 Library calls (functions within program libraries)
it's a very literal translation and I'm pretty sure it's correct, but what the fuck
when I see Bibliothek I think of a library with books, not as in library being a collection of something... 🥴

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as an inverse USB condom for USB-C Thunderbolt? I mean a power blocker that's only letting data pass but not power? Asking for a combination of a display with always-on power delivery and a computer which is a bit too picky about that leading to black screen only.
Edit: We're defiitely searching for USB-C Thunderbolt for displays.
Boosts welcome. 
Oh, da wird's schwieriger.
Zumal Thunderbolt ja auch noch mal irgendwie Sachen über das Kabel aushandelt, wenn ich das mal richtig verstanden habe.
Schade, dass ich da dann leider nicht weiter helfen kann, aber ich booste gerne.

USAID has gone dark. This is the agency China most wanted to see shuttered because of its unmatched success in maintaining key alliances. Russia has spent billions trying to undermine USAID, especially in Africa, but none of their efforts come close to this.
If a CCP operative were planted in the government with the goal of causing maximum damage while staying under the radar, they couldn’t have done as much as what’s happening right now. There are winners right now; it's just not the US.
Pax Mitemouth, head goblin of the Wyrmhaven Deep Dungeon Comittee, said. "The heroes have reached the lowest level? Why is this a problem?"
The secretary goblin replied, "We haven't even placed a final boss there yet!"
Pax's eyes bulged. "But you've had three years to get that room ready! How are you not done yet?"
"Well," said the secretary, "we decided to place a bike shed outside the boss room, but we couldn't decide what color to paint it...."
Wenn ich das richtig weiß, wollte die Union damals das ZDF schaffen, weil die ARD ihr zu links (und zu wenig unter Kontrolle) war. Auch das hat sich wohl inzwischen gedreht.
Später wollte sie wohl aus dem gleichen Grund die Förderung der Privaten. Und auch da…
Schwer zu verdauen, aber wichtig:
Das Aschaffenburg Protokoll
Geschichte eines Scheiterns
Am 22. Januar tötet ein Geflüchteter mutmaßlich zwei Menschen. Zuvor fiel er der Polizei durch zahlreiche Vergehen auf, saß mehrmals in der Psychiatrie. 2023 sollte er abgeschoben werden. Was lief schief? Eine Rekonstruktion.

Und mit dem letzten Satz kommt einem dann diese ganze Aktion der Union und der FDP einfach nur noch widerlicher vor.
Und nur für ein politisches Manöver um Macht zu gewinnen.
