Movim 0.27 Lovas is finally there! 🎉

In this #Movim #release you'll find the first exciting video-conferencing features integrated with the help of the @nlnet funding. A big thanks to them for their precious support 😊 ❤️

The call flow is now completely integrated in the main window and an important refactoring was done both in the frontend part and the #XMPP Jingle stack.

You will also find several user interfaces fixes as well as a database reorganization.

⚠️ This version is also fixing a serious security issue that could cause remote-code execution under specific circumstances. We are inviting you to update as soon as possible.

I found this podcast on the ethics of AI, including its tendencies toward greater economic and social power accumulation, to be more insightful a discussion than most.

So this was a computer designed for people who just needed something cheap to do word processing and the like. The details on the specs are rare, but apparently it has 5 megabyte of ROM, 4 megabyte of RAM, and 1 megabyte of flash storage.
Since this is the NB-80C, it's got a 10.4" 640x480 color LCD. (the NB-60 has a 9.4" 640x480 greyscale LCD)

This article doesn't have the word "commute" in it at all. Not very many of them do.

"As much as an 8 percent raise", but 8% of an 8 hour day is about 45 minutes. Which is... a 20 minute commute to and from work, which is time out of your life your employer is taking from you, unpaid, for which employer and employee both gain nothing.

And a 20 minute commute in Toronto is a _joke_, it's nothing. 40, 60, sometimes 90 are common.

I wish journalists could do math.

Imagine a job offer that read:

"As a condition of your employment, you will spend an additional 60 to 90 minutes every day in a mildly unpleasant environment accomplishing nothing. You will not be compensated for this time, nor any costs incurred during this time. Nothing that happens during this time will be valued or recognized by your employer in any way. However, should you decline these conditions or fail to complete them you will be fired."

A reasonable person might ask "what the hell".

Snáď iba preháňam, ale nemôžem si pomôcť. Vždy keď zavadím o noviny, vidím ako deň po dni prerážame nové dno (žumpy).
Dostanú ľudia už rozum? Alebo dostane vláda mrzkej lúzy 2.0 nejaký ďalší geniálny nápad... nejaký Lex "nechajte nás v tichosti kradnúť"?

Každopádne už nedokážem iba kľudne sedieť, na cenzúru sa treba pripraviť:

oh, no-no it’s not that bad!

It’s even worse!

In 1991 you could get $2 for 1₽.
In ‘92 it was just 0.8¢
By ‘97 crashed to 0.016¢

Then RUB was denominated by factor 1000 (1000₽ → 1₽) in ‘98

So now you get 16¢ for 1 new ₽, but…

by ‘99 it was already 4¢
and in ‘24 it’s back to 1¢

But now you know that it’s actually 0.0001¢.

So it’s 2$ to 0.0001¢ in just 35 years.

Yeah, you are reading this right:

RUB in ‘24 worth 2,000,000 (two million) times less than in ‘91 comparing to USD

Kinda make you think, right?

But wait!

let’s look 100 years back. It’s 1920 and exchange rate it still about 1¢ for 1₽

Catch is that along the way it was denominated 6 times, by total factor of 5 × 10¹⁵ so in just a century it’s value comparing to USD is fallen

5 000 000 000 000 000

five
quadrillion
times

1 quadrillion is 1000 trillions, so it’s 140 times bigger than US national debt.

“crashing” is just a permanent state of Russian economy

Today I learnt that the Mandarin for "comrade" under Communism (同志 tóngzhì) has been repurposed to mean "gay". Awesome work, comrades!

Each time this sign goes by in my feed, I mentally add "and Stacy's Mom"

And now I shall spend the day listening to Adam Schlesinger's considerable oeuvre. In addition to his career with Fountains of Wayne, he wrote for the Click Five and the Monkees, for Stephen Colbert and Sesame Street, for the Tony Awards and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, to say nothing of penning the title track for _That Thing You Do!_

Adam's death in April 2020 will always be the public figure Covid death that hits me hardest

@matt
I ran out of characters! I could have done another five paragraphs on his awesomeness. I hate thinking about how many songs we were cheated out of when he died. He was also reputed to be the nicest guy in the industry

His "I was just fucking around and it needs a ton of work" demo tape for _What'll It Be_ ended up being recorded and sung nearly note for note in CE-G. He was so so good.

And, sitting in the coin bucket was a single coin; a quarter dated 1983.”

Version 4 of @cinnyapp was released a month ago, and it sports a very cool notification center to keep tabs on the most important things! Lozenge covers Cinny's minimalistic approach in Matrix Live, to our greatest delight.

Data breaches have become an almost daily occurrence. Most of their contents are self-explanatory like #email addresses or #phone numbers.

Others might sound a bit odd, like hashed #passwords.
