Extremely disappointed and saddened by the revelations about Cesar Chavez.
I met him as a young child; he visited the NYC church my parents were active in, and we helped host a dinner for him. Somewhere I still have my "boycott grapes" UFW button. Their struggle played a formative role in my understanding of justice and social responsibility.
It would be convenient to simply hail Chavez as an uncomplicated hero. But the truth matters, and we honor justice only by letting it be told.

@mattblaze I never met him, but way back when, he was one of my idols. I'm gratified, at least, that the UFW is currently pausing any celebrations, though the NY Times did note that they never took earlier allegations seriously enough to do anything.

@SteveBellovin Yes, doing the right thing late is better than not at all, but not as good as doing it at the time.

@mattblaze I've become resigned to the fact that many, if not most men, were creeps back then. Especially men in positions of power. Even those who did grand and admirable things.
MeToo was decades late, though it's encouraging that it happened at all.
To me the important thing is that we recognize and acknowledge the creepy side of the creeps, even those who seemed admirable in other ways, and use that to help fight creepery now.

@mattblaze it is always hard when those we idolize let us down. It is a good reminder that we are all human, flaws and all.
For all the good that someone does, there could be aspects of their nature that we do not agree with. For the most part, no one person is all good or all bad.
That does not lesson the disappointment when flaws are revealed and understanding of a persons changes.
People are complex.

@mattblaze I think it's likely that there will be similarly unpleasant revelations about MLK next year when the FBI surveillance transcripts are fully unsealed (based on evidence that he was an accessory to rape).

Via Postumia
La via Postumia era una via consolare romana ultimata nel 148 a.C. per volontà del console Postumio Albino nei territori della Gallia Cisalpina, coincidente con l'odierna Pianura Padana, per scopi prevalentemente militari e in seguito anche commerciali. Congiungeva per via di terra Genova ad Aquileia...

@aeva Huh, it must default to a really low version, which is why so many extensions say they're unsupported. Thanks so much! I'll go try it right away.
...
Yes, all extensions except ARB_vertex_program are now supported!

Portable CRT TV Becomes Retro Cyberdeck
These days, it’s pretty easy to slap together a single-board computer and a cheap LCD screen to whip up a cool cyberdeck fast. But what if you wanna go more retro? [Manu] found a portable TV straight out of the original Blade Runner film, and decided this would be the perfect base for a cyberdeck rocking a whole-ass CRT screen.
The build started with a Panasonic TR-545 television. Back in the day, it took many large batteries to power this thing up—no surprise given how power hungry CRTs are. This gave [Manu] a neat opportunity to sneak all the new cyberdeck hardware into the original battery tray, including a new lithium-ion battery pack that is much more compact than the original. A Raspberry Pi 5 is running the show, computer-wise, and it’s hooked up to an HDMI RF modulator that allows the video output signal to be hooked up to the TV’s original antenna input. It’s not the cleanest way to go, but it allowed [Manu] to make the mod entirely reversible. All the new hardware slots neatly into the repurposed battery tray, and can be removed quite easily without damage to this vintage specimen. Even the keyboard fits nicely into the setup, as [Manu] was able to find a suitable 60% layout foldable unit right off the shelf.
Check out the slide deck for more details on the build, but be warned—it’s a 241 MB PDF. Bonus points if you calculate what that would cost to store on a hard drive in 1979 when the Panasonic TR-545 was on the market. We’ve seen a similar build before, too, with a classic black & white Magnavox unit. If you like squinting at a tiny blurry screen, a CRT cyberdeck is absolutely the way to go. Just be warned that the other screenwriters at your local coffee shop will be more interested in your hardware than whatever you’re actually working on. Good luck with your next pitch all the same. Video after the break.

@landelare Can't blame OpenGL in this case. @aeva pointed out I missed an initialization function, in GTK not OpenGL, so it would have failed even if I used DirectX. Looks like the problem is me not reading the documentation correctly.

Software is so gigantic now, I feel like I'm back on dialup. Containers and npm are trying my patience.
