Popredná ruská ekonómka Valentina Bondarenková zomrela po páde z okna

Ruské úrady údajne nenašli žiadne dôkazy o násilnom zápase alebo kriminálnom motíve. l.rockosbasilisk.com/5ajXm

Varovanie MZV všetkým občanom SR pri cestách do Ruskej Federácie - pobyt v blízkosti okien sa z bezpečnostných dôvodov vôbec neodporúča...

Back home from the Berlin mini GUADEC; it was good to see everyone after a year, and I’m looking forward to next year in Italy!

Of course, while I got back home, my luggage didn't. Luckily, it was just dirty laundry from a week in Berlin…


I still don't understand why the company that claims to be all about amazing user experience doesn't prevent autoplaying videos in the only browser they allow? I mean you control it all you can also control that.

Звонит неизвестный номер
Я игнорю
Неизвестный номер перезванивает
Ну раз перезванивает, значит очень надо
— Алло?

This is pure cartel behavior: Reddit and Google have cut a deal that will freeze out all other search engines from indexing Reddit, where volunteers do essentially all the work.

This should not be legal.

It is VITAL to replace Reddit, and it will take a global village to do it. If we don't, the cartel wins.

And Google should be broken up by Congress, if the antitrust people won't try.

Today I worked out that the UK would nearly fit 1:1 scale on a sheet of A-39 paper.

That's using the A paper scale, where A0 is 1m^2 and each number down the scale doubles in area, keeping a 1:sqrt(2) aspect ratio.

That's A minus 39. I make a sheet of that 741.455km x 1048.576 km

Switzerland now requires all government software to be open source
zdnet.com/article/switzerland-…
The United States remains reluctant to work with open source, but European countries are bolder.
in reply to kim_harding ✅

No, Switzerland does not.

The law that they just passed requires software developed by or specifically for the government to be open but it contains a loophole allowing the use of proprietary software and it contains no incentive to avoid proprietary software.

When we adopted a similar policy at NASA in the 80s the loophole meant that there was no change in the amount of proprietary software we used. I expect the same in Switzerland.

As we see the broligarchs stepping back trying to distance themselves from the nazis they thought were about to take power, remember:

They have been the enemy all along, and they will seek to realign with and coopt whoever they see as their best chance at self-preservation.

Whatever happens, they need to be hounded and purged from power. Or they'll just keep doing the same thing. We need to leverage their flirting with nazis to make it politically viable for a Harris admin to defang them.



Где это видано, чтобы нажать рандомную клавишу, которая даже не является командой, и приложение зависло на 5 секунд?!!
Всё больше убеждаюсь, что десктопный софт на питоне - хреновая идея.
Особенно когда этот софт пишет почти ещё школьник / школьница / оно / нон-байнари / кто он там сегодня, надо на его сайт зайти почитать.

В общем, надо подтягивать шарпы, да садиться писать свой клиент для Мастодона.

in reply to Zvonimir Stanecic

@asael
Не ну лицензия там написана вроде неплохо на мой непрофессиональный взгляд.
Но вот этот подход, типа "вы обязательно создавайте аккаунт на моём сайте, чтобы использовать приложение, а то я могу когда-нибудь передумать и сделать софт внезапно платным..." Это конечно зашквар.
Но будем честными, у твискейка возможностей даже в плане только мастодона больше, чем у twblue.
Выбор языка постов, нормальный редактор, в котором по ентеру делается новая строка, а не отправляется пост, чуть более адекватная скорость получения новых записей после старта приложения.
Ну и плюс у твискейка есть поддержка других соцмедиа. Свой homeassistant я сюда не подключу конечно, но вот поддержка гитхаба конечно забавна.
А на макоси только с его помощью можно пользоваться телеграмом, ибо других доступных клиентов под яблочко нету.
in reply to Cyrmax

Именно, я про этот зашквар в лицензии. Но так не делается. Извините, это с юридического аспекта небезопасная ситуация. По-русски это вроде как называем диким западом, насколько меня памят не изменяет.


Von der Staatsanwaltschaft Potsdam wird gegen einen Ortsbeirat der Brandenburger 💩fD ermittelt.

Grund: eine mögliche Gewaltandrohung in Bezug auf Wirtschaftsminister Habeck.
Der Mann soll gedroht haben, auf Habeck zu schießen.

Der angebliche Wortlaut: "Ich hab schon überlegt, ich hab' ja hier die Knarre, ich müsste dem Habeck mal ein Auge ausschießen".

DAS ist die Gesinnung dieser Leute. DAS ist die Art, wie sie Politik machen wollen. DAS darf nie vergessen oder übersehen werden.

in reply to Lynette

@Lynessence @Bruce_Toews It's actually not that bad. Erin hates looking at it though, because she's used to her monster Samsung Fold. Yup, it's currently my main phone.
in reply to Martin in Toronto

@Lynessence @Bruce_Toews I used my star for my main phone for a bit. I probably will again when Iget a working iMessage Android bridge.
in reply to aaron

@Lynessence @Bruce_Toews Also... I may or may not have just grabbed the last earlybird. Oops. Haha
in reply to aaron

@fireborn @Lynessence @Bruce_Toews Oh you did, did you? Lol! Yeah, I think the best thing I like about these phones is no bloatware and they've actually turned on the radio chip. Oh and you can record phone calls as well.
in reply to Martin in Toronto

@Lynessence @Bruce_Toews I don't like their app locker thing,but it's super easy to turn off and easy to root if you want to change more.
in reply to aaron

@fireborn @Bruce_Toews Once IOS 18 comes out in September, you won't need an iMessage bridge because anyone who uses ios 18 will use RCS messaging.
in reply to Lynette

I still need an iMessage bridge because carriers can just choose not to enable rcs for iPhone users.

@marcel_kolaja No my ten článek nepsali :-) Btw to, že byl Ferjenčík tak dole na kandidátce mělo své důvody. A nejen předchozí sněmovní volby.




i am awake at stupid o'clock for whatever stupid reason. so because i am, have this thought. don't yuck someone's yum. usually that means don't hate on what others think is good to eat. but today, let's make it about anything. if it makes someone happy, let them be so. just cause you dont like it, doesn't mean they havve to agree with you. good morning mastodon. :)


I was checking out this year's #StackOverflow annual developer report that few things caught my eye:

1. They have deliberately drawn the wrong conclusion about most popular operating system. They have interpreted #Linux distro as operating system, so they have separately provided numbers for Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, and etc., and have concluded that "Windows is the most popular operating system for developers, across both personal and professional use".

I wonder if it’s not strictly additive; like could one pick both WSL and Ubuntu in the survey?
in reply to Marcos Huerta

@marcoshuerta It says "What is the primary operating system in which you work?" was the question. For IDE, it specified "pick all that you've regularly used." So I suspect this question was actually single selection?

What's up with execs complaining that people are using their website at objectively low rates?

We previously discussed the CTO & CEO of Discourse ($21M raised) getting mad at 0.5 QPS, calling this "an attack", etc. : mastodon.social/@danluu/111064….

Now, the CEO of iFixit (supposedly ~$50M/yr revenue) calls 11 QPS, "abuse", saying "you're tying up our devops resources", implying it's reasonable for a $50M/yr regularly viral web property to need significant intervention if traffic increases by 11 QPS.

- Почему ты называешь её авторкой?
- Потому что она женщина
- Что-то мне подсказывает, при всём моём уважении к феминитивам, если я буду обращаться к аналитику, как к анплитичке, то она натянет мне глаз на жопу, а наши девопсы за девопсерку мою несчастную жопу натянут на второй глаз.

Going to say something a lot of people will not like:
Using AI to make music/images/writing is not creativity. It's outsourcing.
You're not being creative telling a chat bot it got it wrong and you want better for 3 hours.

reshared this

in reply to OrntLaOkro

@OrntLaOkro No. It's just spewing out data based on training data and other people's creative work. sometimes those exact works.
in reply to aaron

I know. But the creative process of humans is usually heavily influenced by other poeples work too. Most art pieces are not completely new ideas.
in reply to OrntLaOkro

@OrntLaOkro The AI isn't taking abstract ideas or inspiration, it just is taking the work. It's not actually forming an interpretation of that work or having an inspiring thought. AI, in its current form, doesn't feel strongly about a work so much that it wishes to make something based off of it.
in reply to aaron

I believe it is creativity. But if you plug a few words in and have it generated and that's it, that's not work, if you slave over it for hours, yeah, that's work. xx
