Ambassador Chas W. Freeman Jr. on Trump's Latest Projectile Vomit Speech

Chas Freeman is a writer and former Ambassador of the United States to Saudi Arabia. 

My comment:

3:43 Oman is "scrupulously neutral"? I guess if hosting bases for British special forces is considered scrupulously neutral, then you're right Ambassador, but I think you're wrong. I think the Brits are in a series of mass zoom calls with God alone knows what shadow secret offshore BS banking scam to figure a way to use the HSBC to rip off the Iranian government. The HSBC you remember doesn't know whether it is headquartered in Shanghai or Canada Street, London. This whole farce is a complete sh!t show!

It's only a temporary measure anyway. There are a half a dozen British Civil Engineering Fraudsters itching to get their hands on the fees for designing and building a canal to circumcise the Musandam Peninsula.

I finally got the bit-mapped fonts from the Hitachi "1602" display :  Here's some JavaScript: const HD44780U01ASCII=[ [],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[], [],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [4, 4, 4, 4, 0, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0, ], [10, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [10, 10, 31, 10, 31, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0, ], [4, 15, 20, 14, 5, 30, 4, 0, 0, 0, ], [24, 25, 2, 4, 8, 19, 3, 0, 0, 0, ], [12, 18, 20, 8, 21, 18, 13, 0, 0, 0, ], [12, 4, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [2, 4, 8, 8, 8, 4, 2, 0, 0, 0, ], [8, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 8, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 4, 21, 14, 21, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 4, 4, 31, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 0, 0, 0, 12, 4, 8, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 0, 0, 31, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 12, 12, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [14, 17, 19, 21, 25, 17, 14, 0, 0, 0, ], [4, 12, 4, 4, 4, 4, 14, 0, 0, 0, ], [14, 17, 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 0, 0, 0, ], [31, 2, 4, 2, 1, 17, 14, 0, 0, 0, ], [2, 6, 10, 18, 31, 2, 2, 0, 0,...

Using Pipewire to Make A Music Synthesizer

Illustration from Project Gutenberg's The Tenniel Illustrations for Carroll's Alice in Wonderland by Sir John Tenniel. Thinking about the linux desktop audio problem: I'm not the only one who finds this weird: https://t.co/b2BZMiak07 — eternal Doorman (@IanANGrant66) May 17, 2025  I noticed that if you change the volume using the Gnome volume keys it changes it in jumps. Usually you don't notice, but if you play a pure sine tone then you can easily hear the distortion. If you want to play with pipewire from C on Ubuntu 24.04 then it's really easy. The pipewire tutorials and examples can be compiled and run if you just first install the pipewire-0.3-dev package with sudo apt install libpipewire-0.3-dev But the API is sooo far away from pluggable, typed streams that I find it quite depressing. Is it because nobody understands the necessary type system . See  Programming Channel Processes and Alice's Adventures In The Wonderland Wide Web . [Update: y...
