The people who told you that "suppressing" the Hunter Biden laptop story was a national scandal are the same people who want to bury the House Ethics Committee's report about Matt Gaetz's raping and sex trafficking.


🫠 Há 10 anos, #NaData de hoje mas em 2014, o Groupon desistiu de registrar a marca Gnome para uso em um futuro sistema de terminais de ponto de venda.

Após ser contatada pelo projeto GNOME (do ambiente desktop open source) sobre a duplicidade, a empresa continuou tentando o registro, mas desistiu após o fato ser noticiado.



I want to recommend my friend for a job at the Internet Archive as a video archivist. If anyone has any tips on how I can best support their application, I would love to hear it. I think they'd be fricking awesome at it.

What To Use Instead of PGP

It's been more than five years since The PGP Problem was published, and I still hear from people who believe that using PGP (whether GnuPG or another OpenPGP implementation) is a thing they should be doing. It isn't. The part of the free and open source software community that thinks PGP is just dandy are the same kind of people that happily use…

I want this to be a shorthand, like "sealioning" or "spoons". I'm gonna try again calling the thing I want to talk about "my cymbals".

Hey, can I cymbal you with something?

I've got some cymbals I want to bang.

Omg, Jordi, can you please stop banging those cymbals? We're talking about something else here.



Doing a screenshare with someone who has so many tabs open that they can't even read tab titles and they are constantly getting lost and having to open even more tabs is excruciating for me.

Been out for a walk first time by myself. It was nerve wracking but I was determined to grasp the nettle. Was so glad to have met a lady on crutches who had broken her ankle she was flying along what are the chances?! We chatted exchanged ankle break stories she gave me some good tips and she had built up to walking three times a day with longer walks she is just brilliant. I went “around the block” not too far and sat on a bench to take in the Autumn night air.

Keep it up! :) I wish you to get well soon and walk again like you used to. Also awesome you met someone who gave you tips. I wish you all the best. :)

For about 2 years I've been cursing that one of my two monitor arms didn't rise high enough. Today I finally engaged my brain and swapped the two arms around, so the monitor is on the one with tallest reach and laptop tray is on the less capable one. Problem sorted. 🤦


Oh, look. the Mozilla Foundation is asking for community feedback about what folk want them to focus on.

Anyone have opinions?

This is for the Mozilla.org Foundation, that does outreach and education. (like the 0din project).

Data colonialism: A Microsoft AI Data Center Saps Water From A Small Mexican Town

After decades fighting against water bottling and beer companies, rural communities in Mexico are now also having to compete against Big Tech for water.

Development in the Global North has long come at the expense of the Global South as well as Black and indigenous frontline communities in places like Cancer Alley and Flint, Michigan.

Well, that is a very consequential-feeling milestone all right. We’ve purchased our one-way tickets to the US.

@JonathanMosen@caneandable.socialI hope it proceeds smoothly. In my case (moving from Australia to the US to take up a nonprofit research job offer), there was a professional relocation consultant on the US side who assisted with many logistical issues - not a privilege for me specifically, but standard practice by my US-based employer at the time. This support helped immeasurably.


Next week, I need to travel to Denmark to visit a client. Their office is in some small town, and I wanted to book accommodation nearby, but there was nothing available. The Key Account Manager told me to go ahead and book a place in Legoland.

After much grumbling, I finally managed to pick a room!

in reply to Steve

Nice did you make that? Also, what kind of genre is that supposed to be? :D
in reply to Winter blue tardis🇧🇬🇭🇺

@tardis I did with help from Suno, because I'm neither female nor have such chops to play drums. Words are my own, though, as is the arrangement. Genre is heavy/symphonic metal.
in reply to Steve

Ah, interesting. Yeah I wondered about the female haha and then I was like, okay, this looks a bit like AI. But it's pretty cool soo.
in reply to Steve

I used to be able to play drums and I still sing, but I don't play drums so I wouldn't have been a lot of help to you I guess.

Friendly reminder that if you're designing any kind of personal information form and you decide to:

1. Validate names for "bad words"
2. Put a minimum characters limit on names
3. Have two separate fields for "first" and "last" name

Then you're doing it wrong with a shitload of very western-minded assumptions that are not universal and will cause issues

by ma zaujímalo či to niekoho napadlo pred tou zmenou tr. z., pretože o tom začínam pochybovať doteraz som bol skôr na tom že im to je jedno

Niekoho to zrejme aj napadlo, ale zamer bol dostat "seba a par kamosov" co najrychlejsie mimo riziko stihania a teda reci typu "to je komplikovame" sli stranou.

Tr. z. je komplexna vec, sucast este vacsej komlexnej veci: spolunazivanie.

Tu komplexitu evidentne zohladnili, lebo ak znizovali sadzby a limity za velke lupy, tak znizili aj za male. Lebo suvisi a prilis by bilo do oci ak by male neposunuli. 1/2

in reply to Peter Hanecak

2/2 Ale kedze, ako som uz pisal, pointa je "seba a par kamosov" + "rychlo", tak evidetne neostal cas riesit to komplexnejsie a kvalitnejsie. Ergo napr. dnesny paradox, ze napr. ukradnem 699€ a pokuta je max cca 300€. Alebo ze iny trest dostanem za ukradnutych 100k€ ak su od "unie" a iny ak su "nase" (slovenske).
in reply to Peter Hanecak

@phanecak myslíš že niekoho aj napadlo že následky budú môžu byť aj napr. frustrácia (alebo apatia s demotiváciou) a z nich plynúť situácie aké máme aj dnes? Dobre, a ak aj toto niekoho napadlo tak napadlo ich aj kto to bude musieť riešiť? No ja neviem neviem teda... :kekw:
in reply to SuspiciousDuck

Urcite napadlo. A odpovede:
- frustracia, apatia, … -> (aj ich) volici -> to nejako ukecaju² => nie ich¹ je problem
- kto bude riesit -> radovi policajti -> to nejako ukecaju alebo zaonacia³ => nie je ich¹ problem

¹ #SmerHlasMafia
² Simecka, Soros, …
³ nejake jednorazove odmeny, potriasacky rukou s Kalinakom v uniforme, …

T.j. vsetko to IMHO beru ako externality, ktore budu znasat ini a teda to je obet, ktoru oni¹ radi prijmu:

Privela nahod v ich prospech IMHO nie je iba nahoda.

Ale ak precenujem ich schopnosti, tak sa kludne budem rad mylit.

in reply to Peter Hanecak

nemôžem stým súhlasiť lebo ak sa chceli očistiť mohli robiť iné zmeny ktoré by taktiež pútali pozornosť a možno by im ušetrili robotu - boli správne. Oni sú iba... a zlý. Asi by to nebolo také rýchle ale aj tak.

- X ich kamosov uz odsudili
- Y dalsich uz k tomu nema(-lo) daleko
- a uz sa OCTK blizili aj k "vyssim poschodiam"
