In his Truth Social website President Donald Trump described the Smithsonian as "OUT OF CONTROL" and said museums across the United States are "WOKE."

Convicted felon says museums are woke and out of control.

In a statement sent to Newsweek the Smithsonian said: "The Smithsonian's work is grounded in a deep commitment to scholarly excellence, rigorous research, and the accurate, factual presentation of history.

The world's largest museum, education and research complex says they are grounded in accurate presentation of history.

It's pretty clear that the US government is targeting the Smithsonian and other historical archives to rewrite history.

Considering the other articles linked which talk about the removal of trump's impeachments and other pressures on historical facts and accuracy, I'd be worried about the following quote:

"It's not about whitewashing it's about full context, so while slavery is obviously a horrible aspect of our nation's history you can't really talk about slavery honestly unless you also talk about hope and progress and I think we need to be focusing on the progress that we've made then and we need to stop focusing so much on the lack of progress.

So, yeh the Nazis killed a bunch of people. But they also developed the Volkswagen, Porsche and Hugo Boss. And we have all come to appreciate fancy cars and fly shirts. So, let's not focus on what the Nazis did, but instead let's concentrate on the hope that cars bring!

And even if you argue that "things are better now". Sure, somewhat. But, imo, it's not really something to celebrate. Black people can vote, but shitty racist people in power still suppress the fuck out of them.

Germany recognises it's history. It teaches it in school, it's made memorials & museums of historically abhorrent places, and it's outlawed everything related.

US still celebrates Thanksgiving.

So yeh, here is the directive:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-restores-truth-and-sanity-to-american-history/

to work to eliminate improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology from the Smithsonian and its museums, education and research centers, and the National Zoo.

So, eliminate some history.
But - depending on how carefully that scalpel is wielded - it could cut away the bad parts and leave the "good" parts. Cherry picking, if you will.
Leaves a generally positive vibe of slavery.
Divisive and anti-american to whip/hang/rape slaves. So, leave that part out.
But provide the American dream for a slave by impregnating them and giving them a less crowded room and easier slave labour, or elevating them to a house position, or whatever... THATS the American dream!
Slaves that behaved were treated well.
But, just leave out the thousands of slaves that were beaten for sensless reasons because they were considered barbaric and sub-human.
Just... Ignore the fact that they were kidnapped from their home, transported for weeks in horrendous conditions, then auctioned off to rich white men.

Yeh, 30ms is still inside the haas delay.
If you are a professional listener (sound engineer, musician, dancer) then you can probably perceive it (in a similar way that eyes theoretically only need 25fps, but 60/120/144 is noticeably better).

In 30ms, sound can travel 10 meters.
So, if you've ever had a conversation with someone across a classroom, you've had a conversation with 30ms latency.

For data, 30ms is 8100 km for electricity over copper, or 6000km for light over fibre.

Meaning 30ms over fibre (considering no transmission delays) would be roughly the direct distance between US and UK.

So yeh, 30ms is nothing

The bad news is you have Towerful Inclusion Syndrome, where you try to add to an excellent joke but end up making it not funny by beating a dead horse and over explaining things and failing to feel included in the social occasion

Anything can become memetic if not properly secured, contained and protected

So instead of just saying "thank you" I now have to say "think long and hard about how much this means to me"?

Ah, the classic "scientists dicover cure ^in vitro^"

That's kinda how aws got companies into cloud storage.
A truck that would duplicate a companies disks, then drive to a data center and make the data available on s3 or whatever.
Retired now, tho.

It's also easier to share vulnerability fixes between different projects.

"Y" was using a similar memory management as "T", T was hacked due to whatever, people that use Y and T report to Y that a similar vulnerability might be exploitable

Edit:
In closed source, this might happen if both projects are under the same company.
But users will never have the ability to tell Y that T was hacked in a way that might affect Y

Xz is such a great example of how open source is more resilient, and how much "core open source" project need a foundation supporting them

Buying a french person a bottle of sparkling white would probably kill them

Yeh, good.
Hopefully they will realise what a farce OSA is as well, considering the skyrocketing VPN usage!

He will get his caddy to drop a ball into the hole, and call it a hole-in-one
