“Being photographed when in transit is something that Canadians who visit the United States will need to get used to…”

Um, no. It should always be seen as a breach of privacy. I imagine it will contribute to further reduced travel.

And the guy at the beginning of this was photographed while leaving the country?

Wir haben den Barrierefreiheits-Talk vom #39c3 auseinandergenommen, denn er war weder gut noch lehrreich.

Er enthielt Inspiration Exploitation, extrem unsaubere und fehlerhafte Ausführungen zu den WCAG, illegale und behinderten Schadende Rätschläge, und einen gänzlich fehlenden Blick für die Systematik.

Insgesamt war er leider dem CCC in keinster Weise würdig. Leider ist er innerhalb der letzten Stunden zu einem der meistgesehenen Talks zum Thema überhaupt geworden.

holy shit they might have found cure for Alzheimer's

bsky post by sailorrooscout:

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

note: the first trials were on mice, but they're promising

great, now there's /two/ numbers I have to get to 100%

Lexique pour 2026 (avec toutes mes excuses)

J’essaie de contribuer de bonne foi au débat public, au mieux de mes capacités. Mais une fois par année, je fais relâche. Voici, avec toutes mes excuses, un lexique de mauvaise foi pour régler nos comptes avec l’année 2025.

Recipe for last night's dinner included this item in the ingredient list:

28 oz can of whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand

People, I tried. I really did. I wasn't able to crush the can by hand until after I'd opened it and removed the tomatoes.

#39c3

When ChatGPT was released 3 years ago I never anticipated how it could become a source of tensions with people in my life.

So to add to its many damages, it's a source of:

- environmental catastrophe
- economic bubble
- monumental job losses with bosses leaning into AI and laying off workers
- loss of critical thinking
- destruction of higher ED methods
- further isolation with people using AI characters as "romantic partners"
- dangerous medical advice (especially with reliance on it for mental health support)

(I'm probably forgetting other important things)

AND:

source of tensions inside homes and with friends when you have a person critical of AI (🙋‍♀️​) attempting to reason with a person whose default setting is: "I'll ask ChatGPT". Pointing out flagrant mistakes by AI seems to make their heads explode and get angry at the messenger. Ouf.

Sorry for the downer but I'm sure this is a pretty common problem...

Anyway, this morning I was given hope by a toot from @jwildeboer and I should just keep focusing on that. And make sure my own child doesn't buy into the BS of AI... mastodon.social/@jwildeboer@so…

Welcome to week 1 of 2026!

What, week 1 of 2026 is in 2025? Yes: the "first week of 2026" starts on the Monday of the first week that has at least 4 days that fall in 2026, AKA the week with the first Thursday of the year.

Since years don't have an integer number of weeks, a "weekyear" has either 52 or 53 weeks - so you can say we have 'leap weeks' sometimes.

This is all laid out in ISO8601:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week…

However, the nice thing about standards is that there's so many to choose from. Yes, there are also people who count differently. The Java docs for their utility classes to count weeks cheekily claims "the common definition" is one where a week starts on Sunday (and week 1 is the first week where *any* day falls into the new year): docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase… . Do not believe their lies.

When it comes down to it, which side are you on?
