Der BUND spricht von "Schneewittchen-Äpfeln" Obstbauern am Bodensee dürfen Äpfel und Birnen mit dem Pilzmittel Folpet spritzen, um Schorf zu verhindern. Das BvL hat das per Notfallzulassung genehmigt. Die zulässige Rückstandsmenge bei Äpfeln wurde um das 20fache erhöht. Die Früchte dürfen nur in Deutschland verkauft werden, EU-weit gelten niedrigere Rückstandsgrenzen. Folpet kann vermutlich Krebs erzeugen und ist sehr giftig für Wasserorganismen. deutschlandfunk.de/apfel-und-b…
I searched the web this morning for how to use Markdown in Apple Notes. The top result from Duckduckgo said all I had to do was select the text I wanted to format, then use Markdown. The rest of the article was about how to use Markdown. The instruction made no sense. I now suspect the article was AI-generated, or written by someone with a serious misunderstanding. Probably the former. For the record, Kagi never found this website at all. toolingant.com/markdown-in-app…
Just got me a #pixel3a - used, cheap and in surprisingly good condition. The updater of the stock rom tells me that the device is EOL - and indeed, according to endoflife.date/pixel it was EOLed over two years ago, despite being released only some 5/6 years ago. The kernel version starts with 4.x.
Well, tomorrow pre-build #postmarketos images should appear on postmarketos.org/install/, the next weekly should have it promoted from "testing" to "community" and the kernel is at 6.10.x.
Important for me: the front camera should already work and for the back one there are WIP patches that work, meaning this device will probably be the first Android device with both cameras being supported (and most other thing as well!).
Sure, we're still very far away from what even a super outdated Android can offer. I for one am super eager and motivated to see if we can make #linuxmobile (upstream!) a somewhat reasonably alternative though - and make #postmarketos live up to its name :)
es ist halt auch nicht hilfreich, daß bei euch niemand rechnen kann und damit unreflektiert neoliberale kacke reproduziert. heute sind 60% vom jahr vorbei, wie passt das mit einem steuersatz von angeblich 47,x% zusammen?
Meine Einschätzung: Laut jährlichem Personeneinkommen 2022 der Statistik Austria ist das Bruttojahreseinkommen Median (50%) der unselbstständig Erwerbstätigen 32.834 Euro, davon wurden 25% Steuern bezahlt, 2024-04-01. und beim 3. Quartils (75%) der unselbstständig Erwerbstätigen ist es 49.607 Euro, davon wurden 29.4% Steuern bezahlt, 2024-04-17. Bei 47.2% Steuern, 2024-06-21. statistik.at/statistiken/bevoe…
firefox is hardly a solution. It comes with all privacy switches disabled, and if you start enabling them, you end up with a pretty visible fingerprint.
Librewolf already comes with ublock origin and very resistant to fingerprinting.

Ich hatte hier vor einiger Zeit im Rahmen der letzten #TwitterExodus -Wellen auf andere Social Media Plattformen im Kontext des #Fediverse hingewiesen, u.a. auf Firefish.
Leider wurde da die Entwicklung eingestellt, aber der #Misskey -Fork #Sharkey (joinsharkey.org) ist dafür umso aktiver. (Wie alle anderen Projekte, die #ActivityPub nutzen, föderiert auch Sharkey problemlos mit #Pixelfed oder #Mastodon.)
Was ich an der Software besonders interessant finde, sind die Funktionen "Antennen" und "Kanäle".
Je heterogener das Fediverse wird, was die verwendeten Plattformen angeht, desto weniger Sorgen muss man sich um das Erreichen einer kritischen Masse machen. Die lokale Timeline mag dünn aussehen, aber die föderierten oder globalen Timelines sind dafür aktiv.
A generic Sharkey instance for anyone to use.

I scrolled through and didn't see compiled memory-safe languages mentioned. That is bordering on fraudulent. If memory safety is paramount concern, then why Rust and not Go or D?
technocratic solutions do not solve a lot of problems eg. the same people (White house, etc) nary a mention of how to provide more financial support for open source activities ... open source development is superior to commercial but the lack of financial underpinnings means it can only go so far. That seems like a much larger problem to me then choosing 'language X over language Y'.

I don’t consider myself exceptional in any regard, but I stumbled upon a few cryptography vulnerabilities in Matrix’s Olm library with so little effort that it was nearly accidental. It…
Like I don't come from anywhere close to the cryptography world, but from my end in the power generation (generally controls) sector? There must be zero points of failure, period. Our code and settings have to be as perfect as possible and account for every situation we can think of. And then make sure it's resilient against stuff we can't think of, because we can't test against every possible thing.
Starting a generator when it shouldn't, shutting it down for no reason... letting a recloser close a distribution line while it's still downed... not detecting a fault in the line and tripping the instant the relay figures it out... We literally cannot let that happen. Lives are truly on the line if something goes wrong.
It's absurd. I get the vibe that crypto has to be as perfect as possible to be reliable. If one is gonna claim their thing has good E2EE, I'd expect every inch to be thoroughly tested & STILL be resilient against the unknown.
The real world will always test things you couldn't check.
Hell, controls in general will test things beyond your imagination, and half the time lives are on the line.
A job I interviewed for on-site produces nuclear fuel rods. There is a river not far away. The nearby Hanford site alone threatens to leak 80 year old nuclear waste into the soil as its tanks threaten to fail.
No operation in that geographical area can go wrong. And if something does, it has to be resolved immediately. Soil can't be contaminated. Water cannot be polluted. If these sites fail, hundreds of thousands of people near the river & downriver could be hurt. That region hosts a ton of agriculture.
As stuff in this industry becomes increasingly connected to the outside world, protecting these systems from bad actors is even more critical. We rely on proven cryptography even more than ever now.
Yes Matrix is a chat system, but that fucking attitude pisses me off so much. I would get fired for letting that kind of thing happen. Who knows what someone could do if I let this happen.
"Nobody is obligated to buy from you. Nobody has to use your service. You can go out of business tomorrow if everyone just stopped buying from you."
I cannot in good conscience trust a company, a group, a project, that openly admits to ignoring something that they knew about years ago. What else do they know is a failure point that hasn't been found, that they maybe haven't addressed in years? How can anyone trust that they have their shit together after this? WHY should ANYBODY trust their claims now?
However neat I think Matrix is, this behavior alone is enough to convince me to never trust these people with anything. I know shit about crypto but I know a lot about critical infrastructure. If my former company fucked up hard, knew about the fuck up, and didn't do anything about it for years? I'd expect potential clients to never trust us again.
I will be taking my business elsewhere. I don't know where it might go, but it certainly won't be with anything involving Matrix or the team(s) behind it.
I have worked with dozens of teams surprised to have have found themselves in the JavaScript ditch. They all feel ashamed because they've been led to believe they're the first; that the technology is working fine for other folks. It isn't.

Small update! A few days ago I posted this piece on why ordering new nuclear power right now is probably a nuts idea, but that for diversification you might ponder it. But then it turns out the way we are procuring new nuclear power is just wrong. Lots of feedback has come in, which has mostly resulted in many more links to supporting materials being added to the post: berthub.eu/articles/posts/nucl…
This is a story in three acts, where we go from “trying to procure more nuclear power plants in 2024 is nuts”, to “I could see why you’d want some nuclear”, to “but if so, not like this”.
Takže, v paralelnom vesmírne Erica Schmidta, môže za zaostávanie Googlu na poli AI rozhodnutie, že ľudia môžu pracovať z domu.
Takéto vyhlásenia sú zlé na tak veľa úrovniach, ako to je len možné a vedia ma dostať do vývrtky. Áno, než som toto napísal, musel som si napočítať do desať, opakovane, ináč by som sa znížil iba k jednoslovnému vulgarizmu.
Pracujem z domu viac než dekádu, coachoval som viacero kolegov a známych, ktorí behom toho obdobia (už aj pred pandémiou) postupne prechádzali na remote work. Sám som za tú dobu vystriedal množstvo interných pozícii smerom hore, či dokonca prešiel úžasným (externým) kariérnym skokom, takže smelo predpokladám, že som biznisu odovzdával nadpriemernú hodnotu. Taktiež môžem povedať, že som týmto veľa získal v osobnom živote - týždenne ušetrené hodiny času, môcť vidieť, v priamom prenose, svoje deti vyrastať, flexibilita na starosti denného života... Je to na nezaplatenie a je to win-win.
Iste, nie je to pre každého, iste, sú aj ľudia, ktorí budú mať tendenciu takúto príležitosť zneužívať, alebo ju iba jednoducho a ľudsky nezvládnu. Adresovať tieto nástrahy je však úlohou managementu. A kto vedie management? Leadership!
Takže, ak Eric tvrdí niečo takéto, treba pozorne počúvať. Síce to znie ako, boli sme ňuňu dobrí na ľudí, a preto zaostávame, ale v skutočnosti tým hovorí - sme naprd leadri, s mizerným managementom, ktorí nezvládli svoju základnú úlohu - efektívne riadiť ľudí.
Ono, je tu však ešte tretia, najpravdepodobnejšie (uvidíme) možnosť: nedarí sa, spálilo sa mrte prachov bez adekvátneho vysledku, treba nájsť vinníka a ideálne zmienku ako zoštíhliť firmu, teda vyhodiť pár ľudí... ale keďže sme už ňuňu dobrí, my nikoho vyhadzovať nebudeme, my iba všetkým prikážeme návrat do office a oni odídu dobrovoľne... Rád by som sa mýlil, ale za posledný rok som takýchto pribehov videl už niekoľko. Je tu však háčik - takýmto spôsobom sa firma zbaví predovšetkým tých šikovnejších, tých ktorí sú si vedomí svojich schopností aj pridanej hodnoty, bez toho aby strávili život v openspace... A viete čo - dobre im tak!
"It didn’t matter what Joe Biden did – pull the country out of a pandemic ... tame inflation, grow jobs, grow wages, enforce anti-monopoly laws, revive every single one of the so-called 'left behind' counties that voted for Trump in 2016 because of 'economic anxiety' ... The press corps decided nothing was more important than his age, and lo! 2024 became an election about vibes and vibes ended his candidacy.

Fortunately I hear that one of the big benefits of distributed version control is that it does not rely on a central server and works even when some participants are offline, therefore I’m confident that this outage will have minimal practical impact on developers’ work today.

This is my favorite coconut water product. Just coconut water and coconut flesh, frozen in a bag. The next best thing is getting a young coconut on a Thai beach.
Keeps me going, what with all the terrible coconut water products here
On an especially hot day, taking this out of the freezer = having coconut ice slushy instead of water, which is also excellent
