Once upon a time, a blonde became so sick of hearing blonde jokes that she had her hair cut and dyed brown. A few days later, as she was out driving around the countryside, she stopped her car to let a flock of sheep pass.
Admiring the cute wooly creatures, she said to the shepherd, "If I can guess how many sheep you have, can I take one?"
The shepherd, always the gentleman, said, "Sure!" The blonde thought for a moment and, for no discernible reason, said, "352."
This being the correct number, the shepherd was, understandably, totally amazed, and exclaimed, "You're right! O.K., I'll keep to my end of the deal. Take your pick of my flock."
The blonde carefully considered the entire flock and finally picked the one that was by far cuter and more playful than any of the others.
When she was done, the shepherd turned to her and said, "O.K., now I have a proposition for you. If I can guess your true hair color, can I have my dog back?"
This week I learned there is such a thing as a lamb burger. And that one can get a hold of a few very easily in London. And I've decided I do not dislike lamb burgers, at all.
It's taken us a while, but we're finally able to continue work on documenting how to use the #WordPress block editor with a screen reader. Everything has been updated to include both Windows and Mac keystrokes, and has been tested with the latest versions of WordPress, Jaws for Windows, NVDA, and VoiceOver for the Mac, along with Firefox and Chrome.
SFTP, the SSH File Transfer Protocol, is a misleading name. It gives you the impression that it might be something like a secure version of FTP, perhaps something like FTPS but modeled over SSH instead of SSL.
@cryptomilk are there people using curl+libssh to download files to begin with? Would updating curl to use the aio api be worth the expected performance improvement?

@floyd @ant0inet it probably was! My screenshot is from LinkedIn but there are overlaps in the profiles there with the one you point to, to make me believe you are right!
｢ They were programmed in lisp the whole way down and could be run code interpreted for convenience or compiled to microcode for efficiency. You could open up system functions in the editor, modify and compile them while the machine was running. Everything worked in a single address space, programs could talk to each other in ways operating systems of today couldn’t dream of ｣

If you want to stop spending hours doom-scrolling TikTok or are tired of reading negative news on Facebook practicing digital minimalism is what you need, and you’re in the right place.
Talking about using social media through a laptop or tablet, there is a browser extension for Instagram called Antigram. chromewebstore.google.com/deta…. It could help get away from the addictive features of Instagram.
thanks so much for asking! Not sure if I have mind blowing insights and I apologize that they're a bit long. 😂 But maybe 2 of the biggest things that help me are:
1. Seeing tech as a positive thing that I'm in control of and can craft for a better life. I know this kinda goes against your post, but I don't believe in setting timers or viewing tech as toxic. Instead I try to think about each piece of my digital life and analyze the values and challenges they present and then decide what amount of space and energy I want to give them. I get to choose, they're not in control. 2. Also remembering that digital minimalism is a continuous process of refinement and exploration. I don't have to (and likely won't) have it all figured out quickly. In fact I've been working on digital minimalism for almost 10 years now and I plan to continue. I try to be thoughtful, sometimes I get overwhelmed and sometimes I need breaks, but I really value a focused and well built digital life so I keep growing and changing.

@enigma Ist schon so 'ne Sache mit dem, was man gemeint hat geschrieben zu haben – und was andere dazu denken. Hätte der @kranzkrone DEINEN Kopf auf den Schultern, hätte er es sicher genau so verstanden, wie Du es gemeint hattest – würde dafür aber seltsam aussehen. Und hättest Du Stefan's Rübe auf den Schultern, wüsstest Du, warum er das anders verstanden hat – würdest Dich aber beim Blick in den Spiegel auch erschrecken.
Gut, dass wir so verschieden sind, das gibt uns zu Denken 😉 🕊️
@kranzkrone auch nach 2 x Lesen meines eigenen Tröts kann ich gar nicht erkennen, einfachen Mitarbeiter Mitschuld zugeschrieben zu haben. Merkwürdig, aber die Reaktion hab ich schon öfter bekommen. Was sagt uns das ?😐🖖 @IzzyOnDroid

The Open Web Index goes public on June 6! For over two years OpenWebSearch.eu has worked on a federated pan-European Open Web Index to promote independent web search. In June @openwebsearcheu will make almost a petabyte (and growing) of open web data available to anyone who is interested. Join the kick-off event to learn how to access and use the Open Web index. openwebsearch.eu/june-event-an…
After 2,5 years of intensive research and programming efforts, the entire Openwebsearch.eu project team is excited to grant access to its pilot of the first-ever federated pan-European Open Web Index (OWI).
I frequently drive past this mailbox and think of @bagder and #curl. I like to imagine the owners contacting Daniel for random plumbing issues after finding the curl license in their home owners insurance policy.
Changes introduced in Beta 6: - Updates to translations - Fix for the COM registration fixing tool: don’t run when cancelling with alt+f4 - Minor fix for SAPI 4 voices - Fix for Braille display detection - Minor improvements to the user experience of Remote Access

This is very odd. I disabled all incompatible addons the other day, and got a huge bump in performance. However, I've now enabled almost all of them again, but not lost my performance, so I'm wondering if something is storing a lot of info and gradually slowing down over time, because I couldn't even tell you when things got as bad as they did

House Republicans began to mark up their monstrous spending bill this week, and it is not going well...at all. As disability advocates protesting Medicaid cuts shut down one House committee hearing, MAGA Republicans demanding even steeper cuts stormed out of another, imperiling Trump's big, not-so-beautiful bill.

Note: CDC lists many conditions that may make someone likelier to become severely ill with Covid-19, including older age, asthma, diabetes, lung disease, obesity and pregnancy.
By definition, most people are higher risk and should have access to Novavax.
The problem is that although the CDC lists many higher risk conditions, the FDA approval document is unclear about what qualifies as an underlying condition. This means many who should qualify may be wrongly turned away, and makes it less likely insurers will broadly cover Novavax.
Also, issuing vaccine access restrictions based on risk profile makes it confusing about who qualifies, and many people who would otherwise get the vaccine may not try because they think they don't qualify.
Novavax and other Covid-19 vaccines should be approved for everyone.
FDA approval of the Novavax Covid-19 vaccine approval was delayed by 6 weeks, a clear sign of political interference that does not bode well for future vaccine approvals.
This is a feature release with lots of additional polish and some new API.
Thanks to everyone who chipped in with issues and code. Special thanks to @AnonymouX47 for helping out with the grid imple...
｢ Your learning pace doesn’t have much to do with whether you’re smart or not or if you have a lot of programming experience. Instead, what matters more is your attitude toward the language.

I see people make the same mistakes over and over again when learning Rust.
