Though China built upon a foreign base of technology, it has become the world’s leading proponent of nuclear energy. Chinese firms are well ahead of their Western peers, supported by a whole-of-government strategy that provides extensive financing and systemic coordination.

It always surprises me how clearly articles like this state their opposition to Chinese development, technology-sharing, and so on.

Nevím jak vy, ale já doufám, že tato sračka (chat control) neprojde a bude zničená v hlasování. Hlasuje se teď 19.6 ve středu. patrick-breyer.de/en/council-t…

Ano, na druhou stranu, i přes MS Teams můžu poslat zašifrovanou zprávu. Pokud obsah předem zašifruji a do chatu jen vložím výsledek. Jakákoli aplikace pak slouží v podstatě jen jako 'nosič'. Pravda, není to moc komfortní, ale funkční. Pokud tedy aplikace nebudou mít detekci obsahu a takovéto zprávy odmítnou.
Že by se vracel čas XMPP/Jabber? 🙂

This handy trick for combining a bunch of spreadsheet files from @chambln saved me some time using @libreoffice.

April 29, 2012. I decided to take a really cheap stereo mic that I had, and I placed it in the dryer, and turned it on. I edited this copy, to clean up a few things, but the main part of the file is still intact. #AudioMo #Audio

So, Malaysia is applying to be a part of BRICS! After Thailand, I guess I'm not surprised. Everyone's falling over themselves to join the bloc, and due to the insanity in the world right now it seems like the popular choice.
Whether we'll be accepted is another matter, of course.

in reply to modulux

@modulux Yeah. But I suppose one can view it as an economic cooperation rather than a political one (cross fingers), so ASEAN neutrality won't be affected. Don't know, honestly lol. But Malaysia isn't the only ASEAN country with Thailand, Vietnam applying as well.I wonder if this decision has been spurred by the recent US move to sanction Malaysia...
in reply to Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾

I don't think I'd heard about it, other than Malaysia reminding the US the Iran sanctions are not UN sanctions and don't bind them. Or was it related to Russia chips? Just did a quick search on it and those were the two things I could find.


And cool it was! :) tweesecake.social/@wmj1102/112…


#AudioMo for June 17, 2024
This was inspired by a post from @wmj1102.
On december 12, 2006, I decided to have some fun with a dryer.
This was recorded with an Edirol R1 and a pair of Linkwitz modified Panasonic WM-61 microphone capsules.

How coincidental were the sounds? :) I can totally see this as a beginning of the song!

"Think of the most vulnerable person you know, and vote in their best interests".
in reply to David Goldfield

@DavidGoldfield @JamesGleick so easy to speak for the unborn, they can't contradict your silliness.

Take care of the living first you idiot.

in reply to Joel Falcou, Ph. D

@joel_falcou @JamesGleick It's interesting that those who hold your position are the ones who have already been born who have no problem speaking for themselves. Also, the idea of pro-life Christians ignoring the needs of those who have already been born while obsessing about putting an end to abortion is a distorted, twisted stereotype. Perhaps you might seek out debates and dialogs between those in the pro-choice camp and articulate, pro-life Christians. I can point you to resources, if you have the courage to examine them. Also, unborn children are just as much alive as any other human and so your admonition to take care of the living doesn't apply. It's also interesting that while you call me an idiot I would point out that pro-life Christians don't engage with those who are pro-choice using such language and showing such hostility. And they call us judgmental? No,, I will not be intimidated by your bullying.
in reply to David Goldfield

@DavidGoldfield @JamesGleick a lot of words for saying nothing.

We know your lot, so called prolife American pseudo Christians.

You are pro forced birth. That is all.
So stop the virtue signalin, you are looking like an ass.

in reply to Joel Falcou, Ph. D

@joel_falcou@mastodon.social @JamesGleick I'm always willing to engage in discussions and debates with those who have views which differ from mine. I am not, however, willing to allow myself to be spoken to using hatred and abusive language. I have a bit too much self-respect to subject myself to such abuse. Therefore, I will have to block you.
in reply to David Goldfield

@DavidGoldfield @JamesGleick to me, women are now among the most vulnerable because we can't get basic care during pregnancy related medical emergencies. It's evidently ok with a lot of Republicans if women die rather than get medical assistance during a miscarriage.

Short answer: yes. If we start making decisions about who and who should not be born based on what we think is in that person's best interest, we go down a dangerous and slippery slope. What if someone decides that we should terminate a pregnancy because the child will be disabled? Poor? Autistic? Might be developmentally disabled? I was once told to my face by someone that she would have an abortion if she knew her child might have a certain disability. Since I'm blind, I can only say that I'm glad my mother never had such standards.

One more demo of GTK autocomplete in Workbench

I'm very happy so far with the experience, checkout the video.

I love that the same feature can be used to discover widgets, properties and write UI faster.

There are still many improvements to be made, but I think it's close to a first release.

You can try it yourself in Workbench nightly blog.sonny.re/workbench-news

Feedback very welcome

Credits to @flyingpimonster for making this possible!
