  • Yeah, adding a separate microarchitecture like amd64v3 would be a separate item. They might be able to do that with amd64v3 overlay repos that only contain packages that most benefit from the newer microarchitecture.

  • "No, I'm not doing nothing I'm raising awareness!"
  • Advocating against voting for Democrats, no matter what the particular language, is advocating for actions that will increase the chances of Trump getting elected, of Republicans having majorities and of Israel's further escalation in Palestine, in addition to all the other bad things Republicans will do.

    The time to move Democrats on the issues is not now. Those times were during the primaries (in which I voted uncommitted on the presidential level and for pro-palestinian candidates on other levels) and after the election through things like lobbying.

    If there are particular third-party candidates who have any reasonable chance of winning rather than being a spoiler (I don't know of any), it's reasonable to advocate to their electorate that one vote for them instead of the Democratic candidate. However, if one supports Palestinians and opposes genocide, the best vote in the presidential election and in most national or state elections on November 5 is for the Democratic candidate. That's not a "vote blue no matter who" opinion or an "all you need to do is vote for the Dems" opinion. It's harm reduction in the short term so that we can ensure that there actually are medium and long terms for as many people as possible.

    Ann Arbor's 'Solarize' program achieves five megawatts worth of new residential installations

    This is great to see! We need more green energy all over, and rooftop solar is one of the easiest places to do it.

    I think this is a net positive, but I really wish this had more housing and less surface parking. I'd love to see the city start requiring that new developments have most of their parking underground.

    I have to say, Socotra is my favourite coffee shop in A2, and yet the Daily doesn't even mention it.

    Sale of blighted property could lead to new housing in Ann Arbor

    This is great! The site, despite being right near downtown, has been blighted and basically abandoned for over a decade.

    www.wemu.org Free Narcan kits will soon be available in Ann Arbor parking lots

    Free Naloxone, also known as Narcan, dispensary boxes will soon be appearing in some Ann Arbor parking locations. WEMU’s Kevin Meerschaert has this report.

    Free Narcan kits will soon be available in Ann Arbor parking lots

    Personally I think this is a great thing! I've been carrying narcan kits in my car and on my bike for years now. Fortunately I've never had a need to use one, but that also means I now have an expired narcan kit I need to discard.
