He also congratulated Trump on his inauguration, urging him to promote a just society free of hatred and exclusion.

Wishful thinking.

I’ll also bet Catholics were more likely to support Trump in the first place.

You should consider increasing your pipe wire buffer size or time quantum.

You can use pw-top to see if you’re falling behind processing frames perhaps because you’re not able to meet the configured latency requirements, causing silence to come out when you’ve got too many requests.

I will say there’s a lot of Bluetooth stack under your audio stack, so there’s a whole myriad of possibilities here.

What version of Mint? Do you know what sound system you’re using? Pulse or the new pipewire (depends mostly on Mint version).

Absolutely fucking disgusting. Those who made this possible should undergo the same procedure without their consent.

I mean, they have already won. We're installing an obvious criminal as our executive leader. The highest court in the nation is a sham. What's left?

Is there an equivalent of solar panels for radio waves? (infosec.pub)
 

If I had a strong source of radio-frequency photons, can these be converted to electricity like a solar panel does for light?

Google Messages takes a step towards secure messaging across apps and platforms (APK teardown) (www.androidauthority.com)
 

Bullet points taken from article:

  • The latest Google Messages beta supports MLS encryption, RCS’s next step toward E2EE interoperability across apps and platforms.
  • We managed to enable MLS for one-on-one RCS conversations in Google Messages, but we haven’t been able to enable it for RCS group chats yet.
  • This indicates that MLS encryption support could be on the horizon for Google Messages.

Note that Google Messages already does end to end encryption, but there are many cases where this feature doesn't work (such as when communicating with an iPhone).

App downloads decline 2.3% in 2024, but consumer spending grows to $127B | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)
 

Though spending was up, there was another worrying sign about the overall health of the app ecosystem. This year, global app downloads were down by 2.3%, compared with 2023, reaching nearly 110 billion. This downward trend was seen across both app stores, the data indicates.

EU regulation has led to Apple being forced to open up iOS in ways that many never expected, but it’s not done just yet. In an effort to ensure “effective interoperability” with other platforms, the EU wants Apple to make native features of iOS being compatible with Android, including the likes of AirDrop and more.

Google puts a (new) date on Maps Timeline's shutdown (www.androidpolice.com)
 

Bullet points taken from article:

  • Google is shutting down the Google Maps Timeline feature on June 9, 2025.
  • Personal Maps timelines will be saved on individual devices instead of the cloud beginning on that date.
  • Users should begin the migration to on-device Timeline data before June or risk losing all of their past Maps data.

I'm pleased that this potentially sensitive information is moving on-device instead of on Google servers.

At Least They Pay Well (infosec.pub)
 

Another shameless theft of title and meme, unknown source. To add a personal touch: my bro just started a job with an insurance company where they talked him up about all the cutting edge work they're doing in AI, ML and statistical analysis. Yeah, it's just a bunch of Python scripts calling out to web services. They should have just said they're looking for a (possibly backend) developer.
