A message to all sane Republicans:

He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.

He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.

He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.

He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.

He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.

He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.

His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.

He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.

He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.

It’s time to start talking.

@BenLesh Yeah, same section 114. Row R

[The Ult @the_ult_dev]

@BenLesh Whether it is 1 million or 1 billion.. Thanks for making the @angular and web space. A much better place!

After criticism in the observable standards discussions about the relevance of RxJS, I threw hours and hours and tons of tokens at researching its impact.

I’ve estimated that RxJS is used by 435M to 1.44B end users per month.

Documented methodology is in the following post.

Last night, while you were sleeping or glued to the US election results, Musk spent over six hours deleting his posts and further tightening his algorithm.

Last night, we watched as Musk systematically erased all traces of the bots and trolls he used against you.
These small details don't go unnoticed by some of us.

Perhaps they do for you, since you still consider him a genius who suffers for the poor Russians sent for money to kill Ukrainians.

The Ocean Cleanup is now $40M/year short of what’s needed to stop up to 1/3rd of all plastic flowing into the oceans by 2030.

That’s less than 1% of what America spends on Halloween decorations each year.

@ryanchenkie Thinking about upgrading my Mac Mini m2 (16gb) to a Mac Mini m5 pro (64gb).
And use it as main work machine with delegated tasks from my MacBook M3 (which is currently burning up 🥵 ) using @t3dotcodes

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Since Trump’s election:

-Musk got $680 billion richer
-Musk became the 1st trillionaire
-SpaceX got $10 billion in federal contracts
-Tesla & SpaceX paid $0 in federal income taxes

Now, Musk’s spending $442 million to keep Republicans in control of Congress.

Gee, I wonder why?

@log4j Does a proper dns (tracking) blocker like nextdns help enough against these services? (or a VPN)

Thanks for all the information

[log4j @log4j]

so i figured out why my samsung TV is so sluggish.

samsung uses your own hardware for post-processing of data including audio, screenshots, and your aid (your cross-device tracking ID) and more telemetry.

computer vision processing and models run on your TV.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. https://t.co/8AyV60gg1X

Now would be a good time to remind everyone of these Trump facts, because apparently some people still need the refresher.

Please meet the President of the United States:

Flew on Epstein’s plane at least seven times. Just friends, I guess.

Pleaded the Fifth more than 400 times in a single deposition. Nothing says “innocent” like refusing to answer a single question about your own business.

34 felony convictions. A record most people would call disqualifying. And 91 criminal charges.

Accused of sexual misconduct or assault by at least 26 women. But sure, tell me again how he’s a great guy.

6 corporate bankruptcies. The self proclaimed greatest businessman alive somehow keeps running out of money.

5 draft deferments. Funny how the toughest guy in the room never actually showed up for duty.

4 criminal indictments. Not two. Not three. Four.

2 impeachments. A club of exactly one president.

2 of his own companies convicted of criminal tax fraud. Convicted. Not accused. Convicted.

1 fake university shut down. 1 fake charity shut down.

Even his charity was a grift.

Paid 25 million dollars to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuit because scamming people who believed in you costs money eventually.

Ordered to pay 5 million dollars in the first E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, then hit with 83.3 million more in the second.

A jury said it twice so nobody could pretend it was a fluke.

Ordered to pay 2 million dollars for looting his own so called charity.

Stealing from a charity with his own name on it.

Found liable for business fraud and originally slapped with a penalty topping 450 million dollars, later thrown out on appeal while the fraud finding itself stuck to him anyway.

First president in modern history to increase the deficit every single year of a full term. Fiscal responsibility, apparently, was always just a talking point.

Kept the debt to GDP ratio above 100 percent for his entire first term.

Presided over the largest single day point drop in Dow Jones history at the time. So much for the guy who claimed to be a genius with money.

Set the record for the longest government shutdown in US history in his first term at 35 days, then couldn’t resist beating his own miserable record in his second term with a 43 day shutdown, followed by yet another shutdown just months later. Encore nobody asked for.

Added roughly 2.25 trillion dollars to the national debt in his first year back in office alone, pushing the debt past 39 trillion dollars.

Somebody remind me who the party of fiscal discipline is again.

Pushed through the largest defense budget increase since World War Two while the debt kept climbing anyway.

Purged more than 300,000 federal employees in his first year back.

Efficient, if your goal is chaos.

Pardoned nearly 1,600 January 6 Capitol rioters.

At least 40 of those pardoned rioters have already been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes since walking free. Shocking absolutely nobody.

His family’s crypto ventures, including a meme coin and World Liberty Financial, pulled in more than 1.4 billion dollars in disclosed earnings while he sat in the Oval Office.

Draining the swamp was apparently code for filling his own pockets.

Sent the National Guard into American cities at a cost of nearly 500 million taxpayer dollars in 2025 alone.

His own tariffs are projected to cost the average American household more than 2,500 dollars this year.

You’re paying for this. Not China. You.

No more foreign wars. Peace deal with Russia and Ukraine on Day One.

None of this is a conspiracy theory, a rumor, or something you saw in a group chat.

It is the actual, documented record, sitting in plain sight for anyone willing to look.

So the next time someone tells you to relax and give him a chance, ask them how many more indictments, judgments, and shutdown records he needs to rack up before that chance runs out.

And maybe see if I can 'outsource' the work on my MacBook to the new Mac Mini.
Anybody got some experience and good tips in that?

[The Ult @the_ult_dev]

Thinking about upgrading my Mac Mini M2 (16gb) to a Mac Mini M5-Pro (48gb).

What is everybody using these days for development (with a lot of agents)?
Using my MacBook M3 (24gb) a lot as well. But that thing is burning up and throttling like crazy!

[Rainer Hahnekamp @rainerhahnekamp]

@ngrx_io SignalStore will be part of this year's @ngPolandConf workshop day, including its role in agentic applications.

Curious? Join us for a free one-hour preview webinar on 3 November at 17:00 CET!

Not just PHP. Node.js has also announced security releases for October 21, with HIGH-severity vulnerabilities affecting its 26.x, 24.x and 22.x release lines.

If you run either stack in production, keep an eye on official advisories and apply patches promptly.

Security maintenance doesn't stop at your application code. Your runtime matters too.

Node.js advisory: https://t.co/rmgw4sOnqU

@SimbasJungles Really awesome. Thanks!
Definitely gonna try it and make my own customizations. 👍
