Interesting footage of WTC steel workers during construction, in a climate of a slow economy and the president himself bitching about unions. The towers were built - nearly *not* built - during a period of uncertainty, and weren't a success for some years.

I don't know what is different about this year but the number of 9/11 truthers coming out of the woodwork seems much higher this anniversary. I've had a bunch of YouTube alerts on old videos I'd commented on years back where they've flocked to the comments in the last day.

Juri Vips having a pretty good weekend so far in Monterey. He's yet another driver, so it's him, Lundgaard, Illott, and Armstrong who have all had excellent success here. The pipeline is working, just not for .

just for fun i can add a bit to the xscreensaver drama: one can easily run xscreensaver and swaylock in parallel. swaylock supports transparent (alpha) backgrounds. xscreensaver could also be activated by swayidle. thus, xscreensaver doesn't need idle nor locking functionality under wayland (wlroots at least).

🚨 BREAKING: The UK government has confirmed it is rowing back on its plans to scan private messages.

They've finally back down with an announcement that Ofcom won't use powers in the spy clause contained in the Online Safety Bill until it's 'technically feasible' to do so.

They've conceded that no current technology exists that would protect privacy or avoid breaking encryption.

Survived the first hectic week of return to class with our little team. It's slowing down a bit, as it always does.
