    Is there a way to get an AI to read a text in Trump's voice available?

  • "Wick started his talk by saying that it looks like everything is great with the Flatpak project, but if one looks deeper, "you will notice that it's not being actively developed anymore". There are people who maintain the code base and fix security issues, for example, but "bigger changes are not really happening anymore". He said that there are a bunch of merge requests for new features, but no one feels responsible for reviewing them, and that is kind of problematic."

  • "Researchers are reporting the results of the most sensitive and high-resolution survey to date of three molecular clouds in the Central Molecular Zone near the Milky Way's galactic center, and those three regions are absolutely paying out like slot machines, if slot machines paid out protoplanetary disks. The astronomers estimate that these molecular clouds contain about 300 protoplanetary systems that they were able to identify."

  • Noem declined to say whether she supported actually taking that step and said Trump would make any decision.

    "This is something that's not in my purview to weigh in on," she said. "This is the president's prerogative to pursue, and he has not indicated to me that he will or will not be taking that action."

    To try to get Democrats on board? Or if the Dems vote against it, to use as campaign fodder?

  • Scientists just found a way to break through climate apathy: Boiling down data into a binary — a stark this or that — can help break through apathy about climate change.

    Jump

  • The reason I think this is mildly interesting is that the article's main revelation is to just make the data a "this or that" presentation. They aren't changing the information, they're merely changing the presentation of how the data is displayed to get people to see what the scientists are seeing. It's literally a "Keep It Simple, Stupid" approach.

  • Congressional Republicans aired some of their grievances about public broadcasting to Kerger and Maher at a public hearing in March. Such complaints have been common over the years, but the broadcasters have avoided funding cuts, in large part because members of Congress don’t want to be seen as responsible if a station in their district shuts down. Who wants to be the public official who killed “Sesame Street”?

    Trump says ‘there are methods’ for seeking a third term, adding that he’s ‘not joking’ | CNN Politics

    Jump

  • That's what I thought, too, But according to that law firm's (https://cornerstonelaw.us/22nd-amendment-doesnt-say-think-says/) article,

    While the Amendment’s drafters spilled extra ink ensuring that someone who is elevated to the Presidency for more than two years of another President’s term due to that other President’s death or removal from office, it does nothing to clarify that one who is elected twice cannot rise to the Presidency again. In short, if the 22nd Amendment’s purpose was to ensure that there was a 10 year maximum on service for anyone regardless of how they became President, it could have said so.

    and with our Supreme Court in his pocket...

  • Gotta make those cuts! /s

    Cybersecurity is as important to national defense as the military is. And while they won't mess with the military, all they want to do is cut things they don't understand. They knee-jerk react to things and act as though they are making things better.
