"Kansas Republicans are trying to take away currently valid driver’s licenses from transgender people in the state if they have corrected the gender marker on them in a new bill that has also been expanded – under a sneaky maneuver that allows changes to a bill without a public hearing – to be one of the 'most extreme' bathroom bills in the nation…"

I really enjoyed this conversation with Bacon Paul of the #surgeXT team. Surge gave me a free, accessible, clear path to start playing around with a #synth about five years ago, and now I've fallen deeply in love with many of them! :) Congrats to the team on releasing Short Circuit XT, a sampler with tons of possibilities!

I love Surge and the whole team behind it. I have them to thank for not letting me fail one of my Synth Programing classes in college lol. They made sound design actually fun for me and not a headache, and I can't wait to start playing around with Shortcircuit which is something I've been hoping to try for a very, very long time. Also feels really good to know we have access to one of the best software synths ever, free or paid.

Ukrainian FPVs just destroyed Russian system that could unleash fire wave high as nine-story building (VIDEO)

Russia’s “machine of death” was designed to leave no survivors. Ukrainian drones had other plans.

The strike was unprecedented: for the first time in history, the Russian system was hit directly on Russian territory, in Belgorod Oblast.

💣 Q-Day: Why Current Cryptography Is Not Ready for a Quantum Adversary

The evolution of quantum computing poses a direct threat to the cryptographic algorithms most widely used today. Schemes such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman, which form the backbone of modern communications security, were not designed to withstand adversaries equipped with sufficiently advanced quantum capabilities. To address this scenario, two distinct approaches are em…

IMHO (In My Humble Opinion): It shouldn't be "Getting of US-Tech", it should be "Getting of proprietary tech".

Open Source and Free software, open standards, supported by local experts that are part of the global community — that's the way to #DigitalSovereignty. Many have already chosen that path, so the current push is more of an accelerator, a catalyst, not a radical change. The difference between Revolution and Evolution is just one single letter :)

this is modern life, where you have to wrestle with everything that's yours to keep it doing what you want, not what someone else wants. Add to that list I don't want to be forced to update if I don't want to. I don't want to claw through obscure webpages and advice that I barely understand to turn off the features you're forcing on me that I never asked for. It's all so tiring!

"Does #Kent have to take all the under-18s that cross the channel and put them up at their own cost - yes, " said Mr #Farage

in fact ....

Kent County Council (#KCC) receives extra funding from the central government for housing and caring for under-18 unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASCs). This includes specific grants to cover the cost of reception centres and care services, with recent, targeted injections of around £9.8 million to increase capacity.

I think it's very telling that of the top three reasons given by users of A.I. for why they use A.I. to make art — it's faster, it's cheaper, and it lets me do alone what used to require a team of people — literally none of them have anything to do with actually making better art. And that's coming straight from the people who actually use it.

So far, the pitch for A.I. generative art appears to be, "Use our product! You can make cheap shitty knockoffs in half the time with more loneliness!"

FIFA President Infantino has supported Russia’s return to international football. Ukrainian FM Andrii Sybiha responded that 679 Ukrainian children will never play football because Russia killed them.

Russia was banned after its invasion, but reintegration efforts are underway.

Ukrainian political commentator Borislav Bereza urged UAF President & FIFA Council member Andrii Shevchenko to bring wounded athletes and families of killed footballers to FIFA, warning that passivity is unacceptable.

The great lawyer, Tim Crosland, was one of those 6. He explains that the DPP did not present to him what aspect of the law he had broken, and therefore, the trial under article 6 of the Human Rights Act was not a fair trial.

hmm, maybe the SAPI engine needs some love too now. Not sure. that might happen this evening for me. I bet people might still use it, and as much as I can't release with the GPLV2 and GPLV3 clash, it's good to keep it current in case my dream of a neural-network powered G2P layer comes true.

So geht's:

Erst den Aufreger platziert, an dem sich alle abgearbeitet haben.

Dann, 1 Woche später, dieselbe Aussage erneut platziert und nochmal in die Medien gebracht.

Diesmal mit einem Spin: schade, dass nicht alle gleich kapiert haben, dass ich eigentlich recht hatte.

Kurz erwähnen, dass die Wortwahl kritisiert wurde (also: nicht der Inhalt?). Dazu frische kritische Stimmen einzuholen: lohnt in der Regel nicht.

Das letzte Wort behalten.

Spiegel 🤝 Union

Screenshot zeigt einen Teaser von Spiegel-Online. Awet hat die Worte "hält aber an der Forderung fest." hervorgehoben. Der ganze Text lautet: Antrag für CDU-Parteitag: Wirtschaftsflügel-Vorsitzende Connemann bedauert Lifestyle-Formulierung »Kein Rechtsanspruch auf Lifestyle-Teilzeit«: Mit dieser Überschrift eines Antrags hat der Wirtschaftsflügel der Union für breite Empörung gesorgt. Die Vorsitzende räumt Versäumnisse ein, hält aber an der Forderung fest.
