I dont understand others anti-triggering thing. If you have triggers, make filters. I made filters for the posts that ask for money.
I dont know your triggers. I cant remember your triggers. If I filtered for every trigger, then I would have nothing to say.
Please, if you have triggers, add a filter to your account.

Like so many other software projects the curl project has copyright mentions at the top of almost every file in the source code repository. Like Copyright (C) 1998 - 2022, Daniel Stenberg ...daniel.haxx.se
Well that’s a nice self pay-it-forward Happy New Year. Having one less thing to do at the start of the year sounds great to me.
That said, it opens up a whole game of trying to find the oldest curl version in active deployment. Finding ©️2014 in your car infotainment system is like finding the exp2014 aspirin in the office’s medical bag.
Reasons are, as so often, historical. Computer software form and best practice does in many ways originate in the US during the 1970s and 80s - right the time US copyright switched from requiring a full notice of (c) symbol, year and author to not doing so. So it comes mostly by continued practice. Mostly as US law is still case law for most parts, which means that having a classic notice may give a better standing. Then again, the year itself may only once the item gets past any of the thresholds - which are quite long by now.
So for all practical reasons, it would have been sufficient to only note the year each file was created first - removing the need for yearly updates. This gives a minimum duration of 50 (Berne) or 70 (EU/US) years after your death. That's as of now something like 2076. Sure, libcurl may be still in use by then - if we still use computers and not clay tablets again - I would think any possible dispute has been solved already :)
On a side note, the EU still recommends the use of a copyright notice: europa.eu/youreurope/business/…

The auto industry Doug "deal" Ford want to protect is the one that close factories when they see fit. Look at Stellantis closures in 2025, following Anus Tangerinus TACO.
This is not an industry.

(Doug) Ford warns Carney not to cut tariffs on Chinese EVs as PM looks to repair ties with Beijing
cbc.ca/news/politics/ford-carn…
Elbows up.
As I said the tariff is not to protect Canada. It's to protect a US industry that don't give a fuck about Canada.
Edit: Added in the headline that it is the drug dealer, not the car manufacturer.
btw I expect the PM to do absolutely nothing to open that market. NOTHING.
Also hat tip to CBC for writing headlines ambiguously. It read like it was Ford the automobile lobby while it was in fact Ford, the drug dealer.
I think this is the best one I've seen in a long time.
Automatic translation:
AGRIBUSINESS = AGRIBUSEMENT
Agribusement?!? It's not even a word lol
Tehran, Babol, Mashad, Hamadan, Kermanshah...and many more cities: There are masses on the street tonight all over #Iran. At the same time the regime has once again shut down the internet in order to prevent information to get in and out of the country. We know from previous protests that they kill the people in silence and darkness. Please be the voice of the brave Iranians- they are risking their lives for freedom.

"Haben Sie denn mal Knochenleitungskopfhörer ausprobiert?" - fremde Leute, die eine gebärdete Konversation im öffentlichen Raum mitbekommen.

It will never, ever stop annoying me that #SQL has "LEFT" and "RIGHT" joins.
These keywords' names are horribly inaccessible for those with Left–right confusion, which is A REAL THING that affects MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
Including, yes, myself.
In general, any usage of the words "left" and "right" in computers is at least a yellow flag, or even a red flag. Anywhere. User interface strings, help pages, visual design documents, programming language keywords, and so on. It's a likely #accessibility problem for people with Left–right confusion and a likely #localization problem for people who read right-left (#RTL) languages. I happen to belong to both groups.

Leider sind mir jetzt die Ideen ausgegangen die Instanz wieder flotter zu bekommen. Ich hab zwar die ein oder andere Sache gefunden, aber den Durchbruch hat es bisher nicht gebracht. Ich hab jetzt schon etwas über 3 Tage meines Urlaubs da rein investiert und möchte jetzt den Rest des Urlaubs gerne genießen. chaos.social wird also mindesten ein paar Tage weiter hin und wieder slow.social sein. Genießt die Zeit der Entschleunigung und macht am Besten was schönes ohne Social Media.

@lain @feld Every day I wake up with the fear of getting replaced by robots and then I remember that a robot cannot put tiny fibers through conduits and rack up servers half my weight.
Every day I wake up with the fear of getting replaced by AI when writing code and then I see it write code that does X and say it does Y and Z.
And that's when I say, not yet.

in reply to 404 Media • • •@Em0nM4stodon Yesterday I left the X app for Android a single star review in the Play Store which read "This app contains an AI tool that can generate child pornography."
Today I got an email from Google to say that they removed my review because it "contains obscene, profane or offensive language. Or your review appears to harass, bully or attack others."
