FediNuke/tier0.csv transparency update:
I override-added an instance to FediNuke using my documented override process.
feministwiki.org (subdomain “fedi.”): I blocked this on envs back in June proactively after it was automatically queued for manual review. The decision was easy, given the blatant transmisia on their root domain.
Since then, additional receipts have cropped up and they’ve been blocked by enough bias sources for me to do the override process. I added it to my shared lists, inc. FediNuke. Receipts on my receipt archive.
Severity is on par with the likes of spinster.xyz.

"On behalf of the WordPress security team, ..." and then many mentions of "fixing a security issue" without specifying what it is. (The patch is, presumably, public since the plugin is OSS and PHP?)

I don't have an opinion on the broader Wordpress situation, but seeing a security exception used to wield power in a broader controversy is extremely worrying.
Open source communities trust security teams with exceptional powers, and weakening that trust damages everyone.
Finding fulfillment and satisfaction in life is a very difficult task.
Ableism and individualism make it far, far more difficult than it should be, by leading us into a false understanding of how life even works.
But there is a way out.
Come spend a little time with me and explore the Priceless Gift of Weakness:
@Michael Vogel @Friendica Support Absprachegemäß mit Michael auf XMPP habe ich das Native Teilen (das seit einigen Wochen nicht mehr funktioniert) auf Spiegeln als meine eigenen Beiträge umgestellt. Der aktuelle Blogeintrag mit dieser Einstellung wurde in den letzten 30 Minuten nicht mit meiner oldie-Instanz föderiert.
Wo ist er geblieben?
Belated #AndroidAppRain report for apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid yesterday (I was AFK the entire day) with 9 updated and 2 added apps:

A jak jste sobotu strávili vy?
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.
HTML for People
HTML isn't only for people working in the tech field. It's for everyone. Learn how to make a website from scratch in this beginner friendly web book.htmlforpeople.com

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

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.

I don't know what's more astonishing: the new typesetting language José Reyes explains here, or the depth and quality of the explanation.

"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.
@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.
Hiya, another day, another #GoToSocial release candidate:
