Der Windows 10 Support nähert sich dem Ende. Zeit für den Umstieg auf Windows 11 oder doch der perfekte Moment, um der Abhängigkeit von Microsoft zu entkommen? Es gibt viele Alternativen – Linux, Open-Source-Tools, Datenschutz und Freiheit warten. Was denkst du: Upgrade oder Ausstieg?
A very long shot once again on the #Fediverse and #Mastodon but I keep trying because I desperately wish that one day it'll give me better answers to niche questions than Tiktok and Google.
Calling all #Sudanese. What's your recipe for fit-fit? I received a container of it, made by a bunch of dudes from #Sudan (They know my cousin, I swear they're not just randos), and I refuse to believe that they have the best recipe. Google gives me Ethiopian recipes, which are vastly different from what I had tonight. I found one recipe that I don't really trust.
So, do you eat it raw?
Do you include lungs and livers? What about kidneys?
How much peanut butter do you add?
There's an underwhelming number of sources for sudanese recipes online, I guess for very understandable reasons, but dang, I have a feeling those guys can't really cook and I must know how their elders made it.
Something I've learned from this impressively international conference:
1. It's hard to explain to people from Europe how sparsely populated Saskatchewan is (yes the space debris fell ~50km from my house, but the number of houses I pass on the way is equivalent to a few city blocks)
2. It's hard to explain to people from Africa how cold Saskatchewan is (yes, our first frost was Sept 9, and our last frost was June 25ish, yes you really can still grow food there, yes it kind of sucks sometimes.)
Even though I know #HTML inside out and use it virtually every day, I'm still reading #HTMLForPeople by @bw because it's a prime example of how a good guide should be written.
1. The book is simple and easy to follow, with relevant points explained well enough even for non-coders to understand.
2. Images are clearly described for #blind readers through the use of #AltText.
3. The website is easy to navigate with a #ScreenReader.
4. There are no annoying pop-ups or ads on the website.
5. The book is entirely free of charge.

Apple macOS 15 Sequoia is officially UNIX. If anyone cares...
But what does that mean?Liam Proven (The Register)
Výpusť bazénu. Trubka velikosti 50. Se zakončením šroubovice 1" na hadici. Ať se může bazén vypustit po celé zahradě, né jen na jedno místo.
Jenže závity zrezlé. Dolů to nejde. A celá koncovka na trubku v místním dealerství není. Mají max. velikost 40.
A i kdyby, stejně nemají kombinaci závitů, abych se dostal na požadovaný rozměr na konci.
To bude ještě sranda, abych nemusel používat ponorné čerpadlo na vypuštění 😁
Fliegerbombe in der #schanze
#Evakuierung !
Betroffen ist der zentrale Bereich der #Sternschanze rund um den SBahnhof in einem Umkreis von 300 Metern.
Na Prost Malzeit. An nem Samstag Abend.. das kann ja was werden.

"A decade ago, Germany’s renewable energy transition was seen as a model for the rest of the world. Today much of the working class has turned against all things green. What happened?"
Excellent piece by Sean Sweeney in Jacobin
Just a thought: abundant cheap and clean energy is necessary. "Public ownership" in itself won't solve that basic physical reality. As long as Germany doesn't build plenty of new nuclear power plants, it will remain to deindustrialise for the same reasons the article already explains very well.

Another one of those "I didn't leave the left, the left left me" screeds by the deposed minister who I used to work for😐 so much for self reflection and "sensitivity training" with interfaith groups she promised.

A question for selfhosters: What do you consider the best option for a self hosted cloud drive?
I've deployed owncloud some time ago. But I don't know whether it is currently the best choice or not. Nextcloud? Any other?
I don't know what's more astonishing: the new typesetting language José Reyes explains here, or the depth and quality of the explanation.

“I did not communicate with the driver prior to his arrival. Once he arrived...He said, 'Is that a dog?' I said, 'Yes, he is a service dog.' He said, 'Sorry, no.' I said, 'It is a task-trained service dog accompanying me for a disability. You actually cannot legally refuse to offer service based on my dog - it is against the law.' He said, 'I don't care.' I said, 'You don't care about breaking the law?' He drove off." – Guide Dog User from California, March 2024

AAA gaming comes to Apple M1 thanks to the latest Asahi Linux build — Control, Cyberpunk 2077, and The Witcher 3 are playable with respectable frame rates
Asahi Linux is now the first and only distro capable of running x86 Windows games on Apple Silicon devices through a Linux OS.

"The search for AI is the search for a better slave."

Tech bros watch Blade Runner, and immediately set about trying to become the next Dr. Eldon Tyrell.
Here in one paper is the probable reason why Apple abruptly pulled out of OpenAI's current funding round a week ago, after previously being expected to buy at least a billion bucks of equity.
(AI is peripheral to Apple's business model and not tarnishing their brand in the long term is more important than jumping on a passing fad.)

> I want [this] from my digital assistant
is 1000% valuable product-direction research data
Current systems are basically outsourcing to call-center style labeling factories — with a bit of ML laundering in between — & this fully pre-dates the LLM boom (Facebook M,? & when Siri was new)
Recent LLM innovation has let them do more of the ML laundering and time shifting by throwing compute at it
But they're still mostly emulating what a call-center drone can do
That "emulate form without doing actual reasoning" is so effective at charming the executive class into throwing money at it…
…is kinda damning of the executive class' own "genius" intellectual self-regard
They themselves have used prose-based discriminative pattern-matching (& privilege) to get where they are, not actual reasoning
"That guy fast-talks like he knows what he's talking about, put him in charge of a division" is no way to run a system of {governance}

Poseck erfüllt die Voraussetzungen für eine Duldung schon gar nicht. Ich denke, es ist an der Zeit, ihn an einer Autobahnraste seinem Schicksal zu überantworten.
The #LinuxDays have roughly a thousand attendees and during the conference there were 14 posts with the conference hashtag on Mastodon and 8 on Twitter.
Feedback submitted to Caltrain:
"Hi there, I just tried to get on train 424, which stopped at San Antonio around 6:35 pm. I was on the station rushing to the blue zone at the opposite end of the platform. It was very difficult to go over the bumpy stamped concrete. No conductor came out to meet me, and the train left without me. I'm quite surprised by this, as the conductors are usually very attentive. If I had been able to walk, I would have been able get on the train, but this time, I felt excluded based on my wheelchair. Is there anything you can do to make this better?"
I have been accepted into the Flight Simulator 2024 technical alpha, and I've also just learned that there is no NDA, beyond the fact that this is an experimental build and things may break--I've had one CTD so far.
Narrator is a lot better with the UI and they got rid of the querky navigation that came with a mouse pointer interface; I think it has this with Narrator disabled however.
One little tidbit of information interested me. The settings menu is divided into categories. General, controls, accessibility, and each of these has subcategories. Narration has one, but here's the thing. It says 'Narration and audio cues'. Right now, it only has the narration settings we previously had and the ability to make all audio mono for hard of hearing users. I plan on doing a quick look video over the weekend demonstrating the QoL improvements to narrator, differences to free flight screen and an overview of how settings work. I think they may have cut the AI copilot out of FS24, which if so is a bad move for those with severe physical disabilities such as CP.
Just casually opened the door of my #FS2024 Cessna walking around, describing the scenery around me with Jaws picture smart on this early Saturday morning. :)
The image shows a landscape at dusk or dawn, with a dark foreground and silhouetted trees against a gradually lightening sky. The horizon has a gentle
glow, suggesting the sun is either rising or setting. Sparse lights are visible in the distance, possibly from buildings or vehicles, adding a subtle touch
to the tranquil scene. The atmosphere feels calm and serene.
@modulux Yeah, he did.
I was totally with him on dynamic typing when I went through my Lua phase in the mid to late 2000s; that happened to correspond with discovering his writing for the first time.
