The mods trying to be "but its technology" here is just fucking sad.



I have now configured my mail server to provide an MTA-STS policy for inbound message encryption. I already had DANE set up, but some providers only use MTA-STS.
The only real difficulty I encountered was that my SMTP server needed to present the entire certificate chain to mail senders; otherwise, some of them (Google, at least) would fail to verify the certificate.

How do HR departments send emails about the "New Workday Absence Calendar Experience" with a straight face? I couldn't even copy/paste the phrase without questioning every life choice I've ever made.
in reply to Dave Mac Farlane

it's a case of a system that was purchased ignoring user requirements / experience.

"why did we spend money moving from the old system"

"we didn't get a free trip from the vendor and luncheons at expensive restos"

It's getting harder and harder to tell if these things are written by throwing money at a McKinsey consultant or at ChatGPT.

the threw money at the first which in turn recommended to throw some more at the second.

looks good to me. It's just that the copy is marketing-speak-garbage like it comes from any sort of bull-shit pitch.
in reply to Dave Mac Farlane

Heh, that's what effectively means. You do what you can with what you get lol
in reply to Stéphanie Pageau

I know it's a literal translation, it just feels like an anglicism but I don't speak enough french to know what would sound more natural.
in reply to Dave Mac Farlane

Efficacement is very natural in French :) I would have skipped the second "plus" though, because the sentence is already so heavy

Y'all know Jack Dorsey isn't involved with BlueSky and hasn't been for a long time right? Like that's the one bit of weird misinformation people seem to be fixated on. He left when they refused to leave the platform unmoderated. Since then, they've implemented a bunch of moderation tools, frankly tools that are better than this platform has. I say that as someone who was a mod for a large instance.
in reply to GrayGooGirl

Eugen has, and I mean this to be as insulting as it sounds, been a horrible steward of the project. There are reasons so many forks have popped up, and we have this weird split of instances that are partially compatible. So many of those projects started as pieces that could have easily been pulled into the main code base, but his refusal to consider anyone's ideas but his own made these fractures a reality.

Since I saw a report about 1984 (because of a new audio version done for motherfucking Audible!) with the same talking points, here's the usual correction:

1984 is not a book about total surveillance. It's a book about how to ensure the middle class will never stand with the lower classes against power. It's about how to destroy solidarity. In 1984 only the middle class is surveilled, the lower classes (proles) and the upper class (inner party) are not. It's a book about power and class politics that is more relevant than ever - but not "because our phones surveil us".

Seeing some of the replies thinking a title like this, in a context like this, is remotely OK, says so much about how much progress we still must make if blindness is to stop being used as a demeaning pejorative. dragonscave.space/@jscholes/11…
in reply to Matthew J

Hi. The issue is that "turning a blind eye" to something doesn't mean that you can't see something. It means that you can actually see something, a thing that's usually harmful or problematic in some way, but you're deliberately choosing to ignore it and look the other way. It's the same reason why I dislike it when people similarly use the expression "a deaf ear" to things they'd rather not have to listen to.

@DavidGoldfield @Lottie @jscholes safe to say we understand the expression. Just some of us don't get all up in arms about it. Bigger fish to fry n all that.

in reply to myrmepropagandist

I got a pretty decent maths background and I can do derivatives and integrals and things, but I don't get limits very well. I sort of get it conceptually (something gets closer and closer to x when y grows) but I don't get how you can operate on those. Like the typical f'(x)=(f(x+h)-f(x))/h when h tends to 0... How can you possibly get anything out of that... when there's a tends to above and below, it's like you can kind of use them as real quantities but they're not?

And yes, I am mildly embarrassed about admitting this.

#TIL I learned that German cities used to have a "Bettelvogt" or "Armenvogt" - a minor official whose job was it to "control the behavior" of beggars and other poor people.

They were explicitly tasked to _control_ beggars, and not help them in any way. Which just goes to show that shitty behavior towards poor people by the authorities was well-established long before the advent of #LateStageCapitalism .

INXS: Never Tear Us Apart

Prý nejslavnější hudební klip natáčený v Praze, a to ještě před pádem komunismu, v roce 1987. Prý se jim líbilo, že je to všechno "netknuté" a vypadá to středověce. Každopádně, až se nechce věřit, kolik klipů se v Praze natočilo (a na kolika z nich je hlavní nádraží).
