Alles, wirklich ALLES an dieser "Debatte" zu Solingen ist furchtbar, und schlicht unerträglich und inakzeptabel. Völlig entgleist😟
Ich lese auch deshalb wenig dazu*. Was ich nirgendwo lese ist etwas zu den Opfern dieser schrecklichen Tat, die scheinen vollkommen verdrängt von diesem rassistisch durchtränkten Fokus auf Migration.
Man könnte z.b. auch mal fragen, wie man die Ursachen islamistischer Radikalisierung bekämpfen kann.
*Kann sein, dass ich daher was übersehe🤷

The #OpenStreetMap-api slightly changed yesterday-afternoon, causing many uploads made with #MapComplete to fail yesterday afternoon and night. However, there is error reporting and logging and @pietervdvn did manually run the failed changes.
If you had changes which didn't upload yesterday, check again and they might have appeared.

Both Firefox and Microsoft Edge allow you to press Control + Shift +S to save part of a web-page or the full site. as a screenshot, .png file. This is quite interesting to me. I'm not sure if the selection part is accessible via keyboard to choose part of the page, but this was a random shortcut I bumped into, one which from my testing does not appear to exist on Google Chrome, unless the shortcut key is different.
TIL conditional formatting in #LibreOffice calc goes wrong when your compare values are on another sheet and you save as xls file: the sheet reference gets dropped
Maybe it's a xls limitation, and mybe I should check the resulting xls before mailing it 🙄

NIST has been working on a "Digital Identity Guidelines" document for a while, with the second draft being prepared for its final review:

It looks like they want to include facial recognition as one of the options, but they insist that any solutions will need to take privacy into account.
I'm glad they're considering that, but I don't see any mention of relatively simple methods for fooling these systems, as discussed in this article (among others):

Hackers Fool Facial Recognition Into Thinking I’m Mark Zuckerberg
Using a new technique, researchers say they can make AI systems misidentify people by adding small bits of data to the images.Todd Feathers (VICE)

they're accepting public comments until October 7th, 2024.
I'm not American, nor do I have any particular industry experience with facial recognition other than a broad knowledge that biometric authentication is very often a terrible idea.
Perhaps someone on fedi who has a bigger stake in this wants to draft some open letter or something? I will happily add my signature to anything that raises these concerns in a well-considered manner.
I'll probably write something short if nothing substantial is organized before that deadline, but it would probably be more effective coming from a broader coalition.
Allowing police officers to submit LLM-written reports reveals a remarkable misunderstanding of what LLMs do, a profound indifference to the notion of integrity in the communications of law enforcement with the justice system, or both.
Given how readily subject to suggestion human witnesses—including police officers—are known to be, this is a disaster.
Yes, police reports aren't always the most accurate, but introducing an additional layer of non-accountability is bad.

When meta glasses work to read something, they work very very well. But, when they fail, they fail spectacularly. For some reason, I could not get them to read me something that was right in front of me, the same exact thing I'd done before with other documents I had sitting before me. And other appps did much better.
It's a reminder that this device hasn't been enhanced for blind people's specific needs. It's a device/platform that happens to have features that help.

Looking for a #gnome #linux suggestion. I'm running #debian on my laptop with Gnome. I'm looking for how to configure a Gnome hot key to do something I'm used to doing.
On a Mac or on Windows, Alt-Tab cycles through open applications. This works the same on Gnome. On both Windows and Mac there's another key combination (Ctrl-Tab on Windows, I think; Cmd-~ on Mac) that will let you cycle through windows of the currently focused application. If I have 2 or 3 terminal windows open, I can press Cmd-~ to bring different ones in focus. These keystrokes don't seem to be working in Gnome. I can't find a key sequence to switch between VSCodium windows, or terminal windows, or Firefox windows.
What's the trick?
the shortcuts are Super + Tab for switching between apps, and Super + the key above Tab, depending on your keyboard layout.

"Trudeau says Canada will slap big tariffs on Chinese EVs "
In other news Governing for the lobbies. The Govt already killed the Canadian made Zenn car a decade and a half ago.
And nothing in sight to force the lobbies to produce smaller and cheaper EV.
(putting aside that EV are not the golden hammer of climate action)
This is more complex than governing for the lobbies. This is not only to entertain the local economy (feeding the local workers rather than these at the other end of the planet), but also to prevent dependence, dumping, takeovers.
But I hope that there will be incentives for local <25k$ cars; while a good portion of people could use active or collective transportation most of the time, we do need cars, sometimes, and we'd better use energy-efficient ones that don't suffocate our closed, non-infinite atmosphere.
