Are they really related?

Yep. Also . . . 😬

They're definitely looking for somebody new. A new somebody, or, Newsom, if you will.

I thought Joanna would be an uncontroversial choice, but it sounds like there is a growing consensus to run her second cousin Gavin instead.

Newsom promised he wouldn't run against Biden, but never said anything about replacing him if he is forced to withdraw and/or removed from office by the 25th amendment.

Listening to a bit of media today it sounds like he is now the leading choice among the talkinghead set.

I wonder what it cost in dollars (not to mention human-hours) to run that likely-about-to-be-ignored primary pretend election 👀

Redhat, however, found this solution too simple and instead devised their own scheme for assigning network interface names. It fails at solving the problem it was created to solve

I somehow first read "Redhat" as "Reddit" in this sentence, and so was briefly thinking that perhaps this bad idea originated there 😂

Otoh, the Washington Post and their "experts" didn't think any of those civil rights movement direct actions they're celebrating now were reasonable at the time either 🤡

image descriptionPhotographs of the front and back of Apple's original Mac 128k. A finger is touching the power switch on the back, and a hand is inserting a floppy disk into the front. Text below reads: Insert the Macintosh System Disk into the disk drive, metal end first, label side up. Push the disk until it clicks into place. The soft hum is your Macintosh getting information from the disk. A message appears, welcoming you to Macintosh.

An image of an icosahedron formed by three mutually perpendicular golden ratio rectangles sits in front of That Feel Guy. The caption text says "They don't know that three mutually perpendicular golden ratio rectangles, with edges connecting their corners, form a regular icosahedron."

the famous "This incident will be reported" error was briefly removed last year before being replaced with a less ominous version.

I'm disappointed in arstechnica for only supporting their provocative headline (Judge in US v. Google trial didn’t know if Firefox is a browser or search engine) with this vagueness in the article:

While Cavanaugh delivered his opening statement, Mehta even appeared briefly confused by some of the references to today's tech, unable to keep straight if Mozilla was a browser or a search engine. He also appeared unclear about how SEM works and struggled to understand the options for Microsoft to promote Bing ads outside of Google's SEM tools.

What did he actually say?!
