@VE3RWJ Absolutely! There are cottages in the area but there is no one very close, so it’s really quiet during the day as well, other than the occasional boat on the lake.
A warning that JimmyTruth@ieji.de Jimmy@theres.life are both accounts created by Ramon Salazar, who was already blocked for nasty comments towards several trans individuals. #fediblock
"In 2023, Google operations worldwide consumed 6.4 billion gallons of water (24.2 billion liters), with 95%, 6.1 billion gallons (23.1 billion liters), used by data centers. Google reports that in 2024, the company’s data center in Council Bluffs, Iowa, consumed 1 billion gallons of water (3.8 billion liters), the most of any of its data centers."
To managers in retail that handle the receipt printing: you are all fired.
The reason? Your handling of dates. Many receipt from many billion dollar corporations use different date format on the same paper. Including the one from the south that makes no sense. (for Yoda, except)
Hyped for Thunderbird Pro? The team has shared an update on what's planned, including Thundermail e-mail address, appointment scheduling, file sharing, and maybe a bit more!
Thunderbird Pro will offer Thundermail email service, appointment scheduling, file sharing, and maybe even AI features. Email will be hosted on German servers.
This #statue in #Prague Zahradní město is called A lying figure. But somebody "extended" the art and @anna renamed it "A Hungover woman". Like she is just going to throw up anytime soon. 😂
When researchers at the University of Cambridge pitted human competitors against a leading LLM, the chatbot beat the top participants on almost every metric. It also was fired more quickly.
Zotero requires the clown so I didn't even consider.
Just to be clear I didn't say it was a good solution.
Also from the stack point of view, Base is a shit-show. It relies on some obscure Java database engine, and the file format isn't part of OpenDocument.
There is a long running task of porting it to use sqlite3 for less bloat and better portability.
The reason I used it is because decades ago I used FileMaker.
O anúncio foi feito pelo presidente executivo da Unbabel, Vasco Pedro, em entrevista ao Eco. O CEO garante que a “vasta maioria” dos trabalhadores irá manter-se na empresa. O valor da transação não foi revelado
Este parece que alegadamente se destaca. Alegadamente porque as pessoas que conheço que trabalharam com ele, quando me contaram historias, foram alegadamente pessoas.
Just a reminder: you shouldn't be angry or annoyed at the sites adding age verification. Be annoyed at the governments forcing it. Like the UK, with the atrocious and overreaching Online Safety Act.
Want to learn something about #water and #climate change? A simple approximation is that for every degree C of warming, the atmosphere holds 7% more water. That's one factor behind the growing number of extreme flooding events. And climate scientists have been predicting these impacts for literally a half century or more. The Trump administration's efforts to hide these kinds of basic scientific truths are just fossil-fuel industry propaganda.

Content warning boost: mention of Islamophobia and genocide in Palestine

it's absolutely absurd how some people just don't fucking care that the US is supporting people literally BURNING ALIVE and children starving so much to the point they look like Auschwitz survivors.
I'm a little concerned AI chatbots are melting peoples' brains. This is the second time this month I've gotten an email from an otherwise intelligent seeming person who is convinced that there is a persona -- a being -- that exists and persists in the AI chat world, that has persistence of memory, and is somewhat elusive unless you know the magic conjuring spell. Sigh.
What's the best modern Python library for generating a valid HTML5 document programmatically from scratch, with proper document structure and a consistent approach to escaping? lxml? BeautifulSoup4? Something else?
Wow! The new dedicated server is finally online, mostly... Apparently, even after nine days, they still need to do an additional maintenance to add 32 gigs more RAM? I'm really not all that impressed with some aspects of this operation, but the network, oh my word, the network, I am absolutely blown away by! More concrete results to come, but in the meantime, let's just say I can move between 650 and 850 megabytes per second in both directions to and from this box and my place! Hot damn! Woohoo! Ultimately, once they get this thing all kitted out as per order, and so long as everything remains stable, I think I will quickly learn to let bygones be bygones, and quickly grow to love this thing!
@jfayre I don't recommend any of their shared storage offerings, when it comes to HDD storage. Their NVMe stuff performs acceptably though. But the ultimate is of course a dedicated server with no noisy neighbours, well, aside from the network, as that's a shared resource, but so far, that doesn't seem to be a problem, LOL.
OVH aren't so bad neither, although depending on what you're hosting, it might be advantageous to be under a fully Canadian host. Worth a look at any rate.
I'm in need for some advise / help with CSS in one of my open-source game projects. My Hitster game implementation is supposed to work for sighted people and visually impaired people alike, but i'm blind and trying to fiddle my way around CSS makes my brain hurt and takes ages to still achieve nothing. If you feel like investing a few minutes into a hobby project that already brings alot of joy to many people and want to help improve accessibility for sighted people, please get in touch.

In this clip, i install some APH programs from my childhood! Mathflash, and Talking typer! I had some technical issues, making this take longer than expected! I only used the trial versions, as i don't have a key, however, that dosn't detract from the fun anyways! First, i look at Mathflash. I suck at math, so i got that over with as quickly as possible, inorder to not imbarrass myself. The second program in the cue was my favorite APH program, Talking Typer! The vertual nightmare of almost every child that used it! I think i can say i have more respect for it than i had 7 years ago! I played some hurry scurry, and failed misserably, yet seemed to have a good time reguardless of that. I also discovered that the go, application, and tools menus work in the trial version on older versions of Windows, compared to my experience on Windows 11, when i left it unregistered. None of the menus showed, leaving me to believe that they updated the program for modern windows at some point. It turns out, they did back in 2020, and they did post about that on there official youtube channel. You can find it hear.
Anyways, hope you enjoy! I am getting the netbook today, so, i think i am done with the VM stuff for a while. Givin that the netbook is a lot more interesting than just messing with a VM. It's real hardware, and i am so excited!

Genuinely not interested at all in whether LLMs make you more productive or not. The energy and water they are wasting is immoral and I’ve no interest in being party to it.
This isn’t tabs vs spaces, it’s threatening the planet my kids have to live on.
Apparently, the SpeechFX website is back. Not sure if it is the same company, or if someone else bought the domain. To me, the writing style screams Chat GPT. For anyone interested in taking a look at this, the URL is speechfxinc.com.
Welcome to the age of "Privacy Washing": Big techs like Google and Microsoft now appear privacy-focused, but this is a facade. What is "Privacy Washing", and why is it happening? We explain below.
