Authentication is almost always the most frustrating step of interacting with a service. Matrix is no different, but Quentin is about to dramatically improve the situation.

Wer mir aufmerksam folgt, hat vielleicht schon mitbekommen, dass ich Angehörige einer Person mit #Behinderung bin. Darüber habe ich bisher nicht so viel öffentlich gesprochen, weil es ja auch eine andere Person betrifft. Daher habe ich das vage gehalten. Im Mai ist sie verstorben und nun möchte ich etwas offener darüber sprechen: Es war meine Mama und sie war seit meinem 13. Lebensjahr nach einem Unfall #querschnittsgelähmt. #rollstuhl 🧵 1/x

Blockout was one of the first games I played on the PC, a 286 back then. California Dreams didn’t make many games, and this one stood out due to its high res EGA graphics.

I'm probably going to regret this but.. why are there suddenly a bunch of people posting about Rust in Linux?
in reply to khm

[..] I am no visionary but if Linux doesn't internalize this, I'm afraid some other kernel will do to it what it did to Unix.


That.. sounds like it would have been a better goal from the start?

in reply to Dave Mac Farlane

I think people were open to iterate so that you can capitalize on existing stuff.

Asahi Linux did develop the graphics driver for Mac in Rust. A big chunk of code only exposed through the API. And this alone met resistance.



Papouščí nářek a další pravdivá vyprávění o pletichaření, inteligenci a vynalézavosti zvířat

Podcast: DOBRODRUŽSTVÍ POZNÁVÁNÍ

Autor Eugene Linden na základě řady věrohodných vyprávění a svých bohatých zkušeností analyzuje různé „nadstandardní“ typy chování zvířat. Vybírá si tak malou, ale o to zajímavější část etologie: do jaké míry jsou různá zvířata schopna vlastního přemýšlení a uvědomění si sebe sama. Všímá si rovněž těch schopností, které jsou většinou uváděny jako čistě lidské, např. smyslu pro humor, znalosti hodnoty peněz, přátelství, vděku, lásky nebo naopak vypočítavosti, pomsty, zrady či smutku. Poutavě a humorně líčené krátké příběhy ze zoologických zahrad připomínají populární knihy Geralda Durrella.

My absolute favourite thing about the Moon Code is that it includes comments like this: "TEMPORARY - I HOPE HOPE HOPE"

A little #PIpeWire tip I learned today. If you want to use OBS Studio with a Google Meet session in Firefox. Start OBS Studio first, if not Firefox will set a format for the camera that OBS Studio do not support and you get a black box in OBS Studio. The other way is fine.

Wim is working on a proper solution, adding video conversion to PipeWire, but for now the ordering do matter.

I’m sorry, but for some reason there are exactly two types of humans in industrial cybersecurity. 95% are mission driven and incredibly fun and kind. 5% are very angry and gatekeepy senior people who want to prevent anyone else from ever contributing to the field. #ICSCybersecurity
in reply to Lesley Carhart

Well, yes and no. I mean, you can see some level of gatekeeping almost everywhere, but it seems to be a little bit more prevalent phenomenon for ehm ehm niche stuff. Ever went through the forum of Linux folks? Developers? Photographers? Or even certain gamers (Hello my old WoW folks)?

In completely other news, does anyone know of a #tool that essentially consolidates/syncs meetings from multiple Google calendars, some of which are behind SSO, and putss them in one overview for me to look at? I don't even mind if it's an LLM-based tool, an alexa skill, IFTTT ... just ... I have several calendars to keep track of at the best of times and it can honestly get a little overwhelming. Bonus points if it also handles the mess that is MS Team. Oh, and #accessibility is kinda non-negotiable :)


Remember when you could just buy a newspaper for like $1 at a shop?

Imagine if you went to the newsagent and they were like “$25 please”

“Huh? That’s steep”
“Oh that gives you a month of access”
“I don’t want a month of access, i want a newspaper”
“We’ll also flyer your house every day”
“I don’t care, I just want a newspaper. Today’s newspaper”
“You also get access to our other newspapers in other towns”
“I don’t care, I want a newspaper for here, today”
“Oh it’s not just for today. It’s for a month. And three months after”
“Wait, what happens after that, is that it over?”
“LOL of course not. It’s $35 a month after that”
“What? Why?”
“Introductory offer. Also we’ll tell a bunch of other companies where you live and THEY’LL flyer you too”
“Know what, it’s fine, I don’t need a paper”
“I’ll send you a reminder in a week”
“STOP. FFS”

And they wonder why online news makes no money.

A large part of this is that online micropayments are hard, mostly due to fraud and maybe a bit of KYC/AML.
in reply to Mikołaj Hołysz

@miki I would be fine having an account and then paying a couple of bucks if I read the paper *that day*. Then at the end of the month if I’ve read the paper ten times, bill me that.

I don’t want another subscription that takes money for a thing I don’t use. I’m sick of those.

Wenn ich in abendlicher Runde öfter Mal erzähle, dass ich in meinem Erwachsenenleben schon gut zwei Dutzend Male Ziel einer Personenkontrolle durch die Polizei gewesen bin - davon so ca. 50/50 im Auto und zu Fuß - ist das Erstaunen immer groß:

Der Typ der eben noch sauer war, dass wir 7 Minuten zu spät zum Essen gekommen sind und dann eine Stunde darüber erzählt wie geil "Alfredissimo" immer war, wird regelmäßig von der Polizei rausgezogen, wieso das denn?

Und ich bin tatsächlich auch selber Schuld:

Einmal ist es der schwarze Regenschirm auf der Rückbank, der eine Waffe hätte sein können.
Bei Regen und Wind bemühe ich mich nach erfolgter Gefährderansprache mir gegenüber diesbezüglich stets, selbigen Schirm in wenig agressiver Art und Weise zu halten.

Meine schwarze Sporttasche von American Apparel - auf jeden Fall unangefochtene Nummer Eins der Gründe mich anzuhalten - hab ich irgendwann gegen ein helleres Modell getauscht, war es mir doch irgendwann unangenehm dass die Cops so oft in meine verschwitzten Klamotten greifen mussten.

Wenn die Cops aus lauter Not dann eine seit Jahr und Tag besprühte Wand zum Anlass nahmen, meine Einkäufe zu durchwühlen war das ja noch irgendwie lustig.

Als ich nach unserem Umzug auf's Dorf in meiner eigenen Einfahrt für einen Einbrecher gehalten und komplett auseinandergenommen wurde, weil der Horizont der Beamten nicht ausreichte sich vorzustellen, dass so Jemand wie ich zwischen Rentnern und scheiss Schottergärten Wohneigentum erwirbt, blieb dann doch irgendwie der Wille sowas in witzige Partygeschichten zu verpacken auf der Strecke.
Das war die klare Ansage: Du kannst machen was Du willst, DU wirst hier nie dazugehören.

Und nun sitze ich hier und habe Angst, dass ich bei so einer Gelegenheit das nächste Mal vielleicht einfach abgeknallt werde, weil das gerade die Stimmung in Deutschland ist.

When worrying about the harms from deploying AI, it’s issues like this that have caused and will cause the most harm. Not the AI suddenly turning into the machines from the Matrix and enslaving humanity.

The system that was meant to analyze income and health information to automatically determine eligibility for benefits simply didn’t work and often failed to load the correct data to analyze. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Aww this read made me sad but I do like his ending. I hope it comes to pass as he imagines it but time will tell I suppose. I'd miss #KYW if it went but as I say that I feel hypocritical because I spend more time listening to radio from the UK than my local area so there we are.

in reply to Robin Frost

@robini71 I just found out about WCBS this morning and I was shocked. With the plethora of news channels and apps, maybe an all-news radio station doesn't have the relevance that it once did?
in reply to David Goldfield

Perhaps, but when there is a major disaster or a power outage suddenly they’re importance is underscore once again
in reply to Robin Frost

@robini71 Oh, absolutely. When the power goes out and if the Internet becomes unavailable, radio is surely the best resource.
in reply to David Goldfield

I dunno. Those American news stations are quite superficial. They seem usually to operate on a 20 minute clock. I can see AI making this format much easier to produce. The algorithm can pick the stories, parse them for good broadcasting copy, and put them in a queue to be read by AI using good news voices that have been licensed. You would have live talent on a retainer for big stories that require intensive coverage.
