A ver, Nacho, usemos la lógica. Sánchez y Maduro tienen problemas más importantes que perseguirte.
Pero ojo con Zapatero. Ese no tiene nada mejor que hacer que ir a por ti.

Innovation will start booming with Switzerland mandating government software to be open source.

IEEE's MAC address allocations have a weird pricing structure.

If you want to buy a 12 (aka 4096 addresses), that's $855 one time (or $0.20 per MAC address).

However you can buy 20 bits of space (1Mil addresses) for $2,030 one time !, and 24 bits (16Mil) for $3,375 one time !

I somewhat question the desire to buy 4096 MAC addresses when 1 million is only around 2x the price.

#QT dair-community.social/@timnitG… this is why I spent most of 2019 traveling the world talking about the harm inflicted in marginalized spaces when white folx refuse to acknowledge their complicity and allegiance to white supremacy and anti-Blackness

When white LGBTQ+ folx aren’t able to step outside whiteness, Black and brown folx must ignore their shared marginalized experiences in order to protect themselves from your racism and you become the “enemy”

Timnit Gebru (she/her) (@timnitGebru@dair-community.social)

Newsflash. 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ White LGBTQ+ people can be racist. Is that something we need to say? So many responses here being like, as a trans person, I got such better community on Mastodon from the beginning. Change that to "As a WHITE trans person.

FWIW your posts in recent days have raised a few peoples' consciousness, including mine. Among other things, Masto has an “invisible attacker” problem, i.e. nobody else can see the abuse that gets pushed into your face. While the people saying “it’s easy to fix, just fix it” are wrong - it’s a hard problem - that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be a priority. Thanks for raising your voice.

FYI. I saw this today when someone shared it in my Facebook feed, and it looks legitimate, as it also has a quote from OrCam. It is not entirely surprising, although I believe they were just exhibiting at the blindness conventions earlier this month. What a whirlwind the last few days have been in the blindness assistive technology world with the AppleVis closure and now this as well.

Auf der Suche nach Hörstoff hab ich bei Uve Teschner gelesen, dass er von Cory Doctorow "Red Team Blues" eingesprochen hat, um dann festzustellen, dass der Link zu Audible nicht mehr funktioniert.

Und die CD-Fassung bei Amazon nicht lieferbar ist.

Kann es vielleicht sein, dass Herr Doctorow nicht möchte, dass seine Sachen über Audible laufen?

Here is a brand new ad for friend, an "AI" hardware product.

I can't speak to the merits of the product from an ad or a teaser site.

But on scifi, I am expert. And I think it's absolutely wild they're going full Black Mirror here. It invites so many questions.

Do they MEAN to go Black Mirror? Do they KNOW they're going Black Mirror?

Is this a wink and a nod? Is this a consequence of the ~Cerebral Valley~ echo chamber? I am very, very curious!

Ugh, that brings back unpleasant memories as a third-party assistive technology developer back then (before I joined the Windows a11y team at Microsoft). The introduction of pre-Chromium Edge was disruptive for screen reader users, or perhaps more accurately, would have been if everyone hadn't just kept using their other browsers. When Edge switched to Chromium, it was a relief for me.

In mobile and on desktop, I'm mainly using mid to low end hardware, though it would be nice to see more thought given to those users not shelling out $500-$1000 on a new phone every couple years and those concerned about all the e waste needlessly generated to perform basic tasks in modern computing. If I can play 3d rendered video games from the early 2000s on the machine, I expect to be able to check a few boxes and scroll up and down in my email client without considerable lag.

For what it's worth mapcomplete.org/benches.html makes it pretty easy to add images to #OpenStreetMap objects.

I thought @MapComplete had a carousel of nearby WikiMedia images for easy crosslinking but it's not showing up for me for the themes that I thought had it.

Edit: there's a "browse and link nearby images" button much further down the form.
