Web design today.
there was a comedy gag on some tv show where a news guy is reading the headlines, but keeps getting crowded into a tinier & tinier square as they keep adding more & more captions, chyrons, stock tickers, etc etc
that's exactly what it feels like, only without the humour
With the ascension of Harris, white supremacy is going to be on overdrive for the next few months as the election creeps closer.
As someone that has been attacked by virulent bigots a time or two, here are some things I’ve learned to not be overwhelmed with their bullshit.
Don’t waste time trying to reason with people who engage in bad faith as hostile as possible. Put no energy into it. Their goal is to wear you down. Report, block, and ignore.
Lean into positive connections you’ve made on the fedi. It’s tough finding a healthy community in a place that has a very strong anti-Black streak, so when you find good people, hold onto them.
Take breaks. As many as you need. Emotionally charged moments happen as we are people, but they don’t have to define how we engage with each other. The fedi isn’t going anywhere. Take time for yourself.
Remember the fedi does not represent a definitive opinion of a significant part of the human population. It’s getting bigger, but it’s still only a percent of a percent. It’s easy to get caught up in convos with niche groups that don’t mean anything in the long run. Make sure to go touch grass regularly.
Essentially, most of us are strangers, so don’t take negative interactions personally. People who engage in toxic communication styles are saying more about themselves than you. They just want to bring you into their angst. Make a different choice.
I’ll drop more later, but these are a good start.
You are entitled to your space. Move like that. People that do not respect consent are not people that deserve the privilege of your consideration.
WOW! Something just let loose on the far side of the sun and Earth (as well as the entire solar system) are getting peppered with hard protons. Debris from the blast emerged in the form of a full halo CME. Hard protons are good at charging spacecraft bodies, fogging their cameras, and causing reboots of onboard computers. Indeed, you can see a hint of the "fog" in the movie above. Each speckle is a hard proton striking the spacecraft's digital camera. spaceweather.com has the latest on this big, BIG boom.

It's amazing to see how many buses a single subway rail line needs to be temporarily replaced for track construction.
#mbta rail replacement buses for the red line. Full buses every 2-3 minutes, bus berth full of buses. And that's only one line!
Don't underestimate the capacity of a subway train system!

Kassensturz nach dem #Urlaub, wieviel Strom haben wir verfahren, was hat es gekostet:
550kwh Strom auf ca. 3000km zu insgesamt 205€
Da ist die initiale Ladung @home mit drin (Mischpreis 18cent/kwh) sowie Monatsgebühr für #Bonnet boost und #ionity passport power.
Das macht 6,83€/100km und ca. 18,3kwh/100km. (1/x)
It's kinda funny that I don't even care anymore that "not everyone is on Mastodon". It is definitely a good thing. The same happened in the past with IRC and Telegram. You know they still exist, lots of people like me use them and I still will not use the popular ones that much or at all.
Few things I like in IRC over Matrix, or any other protocol in professional setting:
- Does not try to blend #security and #decentralization. By not having security at all is one way to implement a sound security model. This allows to design security properties both by means of infrastructure security, i.e. outside the protocol, and also by tunneling, i.e. inside the protocol (classic example is off-the record messaging). This keep the core protocol compact and sound, and easy to verify for correctness, which is by itself a strong security property.
- Has both decentralized and client/server based topology since 1988(!). It is a network of servers, which together form an IRC network.
- Protocol messages are both rigidly structured AND still human-readable (unlike JSON), and have a clean specification (RFC 1459).
- Features not in the protocol itself can be implemented efficiently with bots, given the ease parsing and producing IRC protocol messages.
- IRC network heals fast from failures and has high #availability properties, given the clean and rigid definition of what it does and what it does not do.

Kolik tak může stát výměna disku na kole u #Škoda Octavia?
Měl jsem půjčené auto na 14 dní a ten disk někde odřel. Půjčovna po mě chce Datum, Místo a Popis Děje - což já vůbec netuším a vymýšlet si samozřejmě nechci.

If we stopped versioning the Matrix spec and room versions and let each MSC evolve independently that’s basically what would happen. Each client would pick a version of a given MSC and the ecosystem would stagnate on old broken versions of everything.
The worst of Matrix thanks to the development processes of XMPP.
Better versioning is part of why Matrix clients are better, and definitely much of why people generally prefer it over XMPP. Not because the protocol is better in theory, but because the development processes ensure the system actually moves forward.
XMPP couldn’t pull this off when it had tech-giant money.
When ChatGPT summarises, it actually does nothing of the kind.
One of the use cases I thought was reasonable to expect from ChatGPT and Friends (LLMs) was summarising. It turns out I was wrong. What ChatGPT isn’t summarising at all, it only looks like it…R&A IT Strategy & Architecture

So thanks to @rmader@mastodon.social we managed to get the front camera in the Pixel 3a working with a libcamera/pipewire stack 🥳 Thanks to @flamingradian for the work on the whole port!
EDIT: The driver does not properly release the camera when closing the app, so it only works once per boot. It would be lovely if anybody with the skills would like to contribute to improve it!

Když už jsem si koupil ten notebook s AMD Ryzen 9 a AMDGPU kvůli umělé inteligenci, tak jsem si tedy nainstaloval lokální instanci #ollama s korpusem #llama3. Nevycházím z údivu.
Zkoušel jsem ho rozmluvit v češtině. Není moc ochoten a má kecy, že v tom není trénovaný, a že když odpustím, že v tom nebude dokonalý, tak česky něco řekne. Ale pak stejně odpovídá na české otázky anglicky.
Nicméně po restartu a položení první otázky v češtině odpovídá stručně česky s trochu nepřesnou volbou slov.
Ale co mě dostalo: zkusil jsem se ho zeptat na něco bez varování japonsky a on jen hodil smajlíka a pak napsal anglickou odpověď. Tak jsem mu tam hodil starořecký text, jestli pozná jazyk. Poznal jazyk, vyhodil překlad do ájiny a určil správně dílo a místo, odkud jsem citoval.
Pak mě začal provokovat, že bychom si mohli dát závody v recitaci starořecké poezie. Hodil jsem mu tam pár veršů z Homéra. Poznal Homéra a určil místo, odkud jsem citoval (chybně, ale budiž), a napsal překlad. Pro neznalce upozorňuju, že Homér psal zvláštním a podivným dialektem.
Je to lokální instalace, takže tohle všechno zvládá s databátí o velikosi 4,7 GB. Dokonalá komprese všelidského vědění!!!
