One of the selling points of Google’s flagship generative AI models, Gemini 1.5 Pro and 1.5 Flash, is the amount of data they can supposedly process and analyze. But new research suggests that the models aren’t, in fact, very good at those things. “While models like Gemini 1.5 Pro can technically process long contexts, we have seen many cases indicating that the models don’t actually ‘understand’ the content,” Marzena Karpinska, a postdoc at UMass Amherst.

Hey folks, we're going to be at @allsystemsgo in Berlin later this year. @cas and @craftyguy will be talking about how #postmarketOS has evolved over the last few years, our experiences with #systemd, and our plans for an #immutable postmarketOS that doesn't restrict user freedom.
If you're into low level Linux userspace and middleware definitely come along :D
I've spoken about ossification many times and how that for example have prevented TFO (TCP Fast Open) to get deployed widely.

Etsy is about to ban the sale of most sex toys and sexual content (ANY depictions of genitalia and sex acts). Effective July 29th.
Non-penetrable and non-insertable toys and kink gear will still be allowed (for example: restraints, clamps, harnesses).
Nudity for models will be banned, including "genitalia, anuses, gluteal clefts [a.k.a. buttcracks] and female nipples/areolas."
(A LOT to unpack here...)
There will also be a ban on any "sexual references to familial relationships" in articles up for sale, such as "daddy's slut" or "choke me, mommy".

Do/Have you used a CD/DVD/Bluray in a while?
What about burning a disk?
I'm surveying modern day awareness/usage of optical media, mostly to confirm some demographic theories, so if you know what a CD/DVD is, please help me (and maybe others) out by answering some ~10 questions here:

A lot of #Emacs #accessibility tips, from the view of Speechd-el, which is a more traditional screen reader, as opposed to Emacspeak's more all-in-one package.

If you like to suggest some topics, please feel free to point them out.
My ideas are: copying and pasting, reading to the end of a line, looking for context sensitive help, using #emacs customize buffers, speechd-el review commands, adjusting speech properties at runtime. These are new to me as a novice emacs user.

Digitalizace stavebního řízení.
V pondělí 1. 7. nastanou po 35 letech velké změny ve stavebním právu. Pojďme si to projít.
Pro stavebníka to nově bude extra jednoduché. Namísto desítek formulářů projde jedním interaktivním formulářem na webu kam se přihlásí Identitou občana. Přehledně uvidí, která připomínková místa se mají vyjádřit a také jak se vyjádřila. (1/5)
Docker is used as a substitute of build system and solid deployment practices.
This is why everything turns to shit.

Seit gestern sind in Deutschland Blinker an Fahrrädern endlich erlaubt (StVZO-Änderung). Das kann vor allem für Fahrer*innen von Lastenrädern, Gespannen und Velomobilen sowie bei Dunkelheit interessant sein. 🚲
Ist zwar nur eine Kleinigkeit, aber ich finde es schön dass die #Ampelregierung solche offenbar überholten Regelungen anpasst. Und das sogar ohne öffentlichen Aufschrei und FDP-Blockade 😉 😇

New packs:

As #Pride month comes to a close, this is your reminder that we still exist the rest of the year and we really need allies to keep showing up for us.
March, vote, write to your representatives, sign petitions, donate to charities, buy from #LGBTQIA+ business owners, learn, and fly your rainbow flags year round.

@DrHyde Terminals are actually surprisingly backwards in terms of accessibility. Where modern GUI environments have a way to indicate such semantic information to a screen reader, terminals don't really. If the spinner contains a progress indication (like percent done), I would at least put that at the beginning of the line to make it slightly more readable. Otherwise, there's nothing you can really do.
We need something like the ARIA specification, but for terminals.
Es gibt starke Hinweise darauf, dass das Bildungsministerium uns Kommunikation zur #Fördermittelaffäre verschwiegen hat. Wir haben sie angefordert. Jetzt wird sie offenbar gelöscht!
Wir haben Eilantrag beim Verwaltungsgericht eingereicht, um die Löschung aufzuhalten.
