I don’t know the answer to your question, but it’s interesting that when I walk through Union Station during rush-hour, I’m off and wearing an AirPod in one ear. It will almost always start cutting in out. Just due to congestion of Bluetooth I’m fairly sure.
Release 25.10 is here! The Eloquence IBMTTS Community Dictionaries just hit a new milestone with nearly 1,500 new and updated entries, and a major overhaul which resulted in the removal of 94 duplicates. Entry stats: • Abbreviations: 84. • Special words/main: 1215. • Roots: 62011. Check it out: github.com/eigencrow/IBMTTSDic…
Looking reasonably likely that #SOURCE magazine issue 3 will be out tomorrow! 27 pages of supercool #opensource tutorials relating to opensource hardware! I'm off for a lie down now after laying all those pages out!
I know some folx are surprised to see David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) publicly sharing statements that mirror the rhetoric of white nationalism. I am not. The writing has been on the wall for years.
This is what Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America by Ijeoma Oluo laid out so clearly: the myth of white male supremacy ensures that unremarkable white men can position themselves as thought leaders, innovators, or even DEI champions, while...
This is how I know them: If it's a cheap undershirt, it's a wife beater (also known as an "A-Shirt"). If it's a shirt you're meant to wear it's a tank top.
Had a classmate who went to Walmart and asked an old lady working there "where are the wife beaters at?" and she replied "in jail I hope!". Still makes me laugh RT: flipboard.com/users/cbcnews/st…
We held another #Fedora Installfest at the local university in #Brno today. In recent years, we have been dealing with fewer and fewer #Linux problems and more and more #Windows problems. Today, it was all "Fedora works fine for me, but I also have Windows in dual boot and VS Code there gives me an error when I try to compile."
Morello is a modified quad-core Neoverse N1 with CHERI support. The UK Government funded a lot of the development and there are a few tens of them left over that don't yet have homes.
They look like real computers (ATX case, HDMI out). The under my desk runs CheriBSD (FreeBSD fork), KDE with its Wayland compositor and a bunch of userspace apps, with everything including the GPU drivers memory safe. It can also run AArch64 binaries, but that's less fun.
If you're doing interesting research that would benefit from CHERI or if you are looking to evaluate building products on CHERI systems, reach out to the CHERI Alliance.
CHERI RISC-V (the 'Y' base) is near to standardisation, so there should be RISC-V CHERI application cores available fairly soon, but the Neoverse N1 is a fairly advanced microarchitecture (designed for server chips) and it will probably take a while for RISC-V chips to equal it in performance. It was a fairly rushed conversion to CHERI, so has a few significant performance artefacts that won't be there in a production chip, but this is still probably the best opportunity to get a desktop CHERI system for at least the next year or two.
🌟 BIG NEWS!! The CHERI Alliance now distributes Arm Morello boards 🌟

The CHERI Alliance is thrilled to announce that, following the end of the Digital Security by Design (DSbD) program, we hav…
I was hoping I wouldn't have to send this, but after seeing a certain troll impersonate a friend here on Mastodon last night, I wanted to let everyone know that in case you receive things supposedly from me on another account, it's obviously fake. I'm most definitely NOT moving to another instance anytime soon.
Join us for the Matrix Conference this October. The four day conference will take place in Strasbourg, France. Talks will be streamed live and virtual attendees will be able to ask speakers questions.
@debacle you definitely should, past releases tend to hammer the matrix servers with a lot of useless requests. I had fucked up but fixed it! :grimacing:
#LambdaMOO (...guess it'll wait until *after* I announce that I discover some outstandingly stupid mistake, so... time to get this out of the way: )
I have now dropped LambdaMOO 1.9.0alpha
Should I make it to an actual ready-for-prime-time release, this will be the first since 1.8.1, roughly 25 years ago.
I'm looking for anyone *already* running a MOO instance of some sort (*) who needs a path forward (I figure for each of the 3 or 4 I know about there should be others I don't, which should add up to at least several) to kick tires and try it on on your own platform and maybe others that I can't do myself.
(*) and perhaps other folks who build unix software for fun, who are bored today
A deep, well-researched & cited piece from @sundress detailing systemic failures down the web stack (standards bodies, browsers vendors, etc) which marginalize #accessibility and its voices — but with proposed solutions.

It’s cool to do non-violence if that’s your jam and non-violent resistance is definitely one tool in the toolkit but having people willing and able to do violence against an oppressor has been a pretty big part of the success of every “non-violent” movement in history.
Elites downplay the effectiveness of violent resistance throughout history because they know violence is actually effective as a form of resistance.
When I was a child and learning about the Suffragettes in secondary school, their use of violence was touched upon but it was drummed into us that their use of violence was actually very bad and the important thing was their peaceful protesting.
The flotilla is on the High Seas and not in Israel’s 12 mile territorial sea. Israel has no jurisdiction.
An attack by a state military warship on a vessel on the High Seas is an attack on the flag state of the vessel attacked.
The possession of vessels and the abduction of crews at sea can be pursued as a crime in domestic jurisdictions and is not just a crime under international law.

Not sure y'all, I'm slowly losing my mind over Windows. This is what I've become. The reviewer who 20 years ago was there writing about Longhorn, has lost his marbles. Yup. This is how it ends, folks. I lose my mind and sanity over Microsoft Windows, forever tortured by what I've lost since then. Lost all hope, forever wandering the hallowed halls of the world, asking, "has this build fixed Explorer yet?" And so the day of me primary-booting Linux draws nearer. I'm becoming unhinged.
As I believed myself to be insane in the membranes already, I raw dogged Linux blindfolded (apart from a tiny gap) when Win 7 lost support. So far, not looked back.
ahaha love this little dialog. Go suck it Microsoft. "Page not available dialog Page not available The page you are trying to access has no supported features and is not available." (Core isolation settings) I ripped out the entire Security center and control panel. If someone can get me the Security Center from Windows XP back onto my Windows 10, I'll reconsider it, for now all that cruft is junk to me. I don't want a hyperviser runnning just so it can isolate it into its own namespace. Nope. Not taking the performance hit of that.
Your conclusion, "The real reason not to use GenAI", seems at odds with your statement "I’m not a hater." Shouldn't your reasons for not using GenAI lead you to advocate that we don't even use it for coding, even in the areas where it'll probably work? I guess Those reasons for not using GenAI sound to me like reasons to fight the prediction and try to make it not come true.
I know things are tough for most people, so don't worry if you can't chip in right now.
A good friend of mine could use your support.
@SilverEagle has been developing free and open source software for a heck of a long time. If you've ever used Internet Radio before, there's a damn good chance you've used AzuraCast.
They have a Ko-Fi goal of $2500. If any of you can chip in even $3 to help them, it is difficult to overstate the immense burden you'll be alleviating.
A self-hosted web radio management suite, including turnkey installer tools for the full radio software stack and a modern, easy-to-use web app to manage your stations. - AzuraCast/AzuraCast
There’s a TV ad from Philadelphia* tourism where Canadian citizens who live and work there are imploring their fellow Canadians to visit the city. It is so tone deaf to the moment.
*I saw it a couple days ago and may be misremembering the city. If you can confirm which city it actually is before I take the time to look it up, feel free to dunk and boycott.
ETA: I remembered correctly! Maybe don't go to Philadelphia, fellow Canadians.
“We’re going to keep being creative about our outreach to the Canadian audience,” said Caren.
I mean, howsabout being creative about Stopping The Fascist Regime in Your Country! It's your border agency causing problems for Canadian travellers. It's your president making threatening noises about Canadian sovereignty. Sort your shit out, mates. Stop acting like Canadians just arbitrarily decided to stop visiting the States.
Visit California predicts 170,000 fewer visitors to the state this year – with Los Angeles and Yosemite national park hit hard. Will the Trump slump continue to deepen?
When his mic was silenced, Li was about to ask why the government pays $460 million to private schools, while public schools are deprived. A good question, although asking it can get you spanked. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... via @ calgaryherald #Cdnpoli #Ableg
If possible, use "direct labeling" in your data visualizations and charts. This means positioning the labels directly beside or adjacent to the data points. This is better than color coding your charts, as your information would likely be lost to someone who can’t see color.

i'm re-reading "Homage to Catalonia" and it's good, but i'm struck by how fucking condescending the British are towards the Spanish. Orwell will write stuff like "for once, the Spanish were able to organize something" buddy you're experiencing a country **in the middle of a civil war** maybe your impressions of What The Spanish Are Like are not actually universal cultural traits!
🚨 Die EU-Komission plant mit einer neuen Verordnung ein massives Überwachungsgesetz: Alle Chats sollen durchleuchtet werden. Ob mit Demos, Protestaktionen oder Anrufen an unsere Abgeordneten: Um die Möglichkeit zur privaten Kommunikation zu retten, müssen wir jetzt aktiv werden!
Die Argumente gegen Chatkontrolle: 👉 Schützt Kinder nicht 👉 Totale Überwachung 👉 Bedroht Berufsgeheimnis 👉 Missbrauchspotential 👉 Gefährdet Unschuldige
How big is a 128-bit number? Using the prefix for the largest number we have (2^100), it can hold 268435456 quettabytes. There's no set SI prefix name for the 262144 (something)bytes that it is the equivalent of. 2^110 and 2^120 have no SI prefixes.
Okay, so here are the correct answers to the embedded hacking #2 contest (click for larger pictures): The fact that you get the clues as hexadecimal uppercase ASCII was pretty quickly clear to everybody.
Coreo que acabo de mandar a Exteriores, por intentarlo que no quede:
Asunto: Protección diplomática de activistas españoles y respeto al derecho internacional.
Buenos días:
En vista del notorio incumplimiento del derecho internacional del mar en materia de paso inocente, y del derecho internacional humanitario, con menoscabo de la libertad de navegación y de los derechos y libertades de ciudadanos españoles, por parte del estado de Israel, INSTO al Ministerio de Exteriores:
A cumplir con sus obligaciones, de derecho interno e internacional, brindando protección diplomática y ejerciendo buenos oficios conducentes a la inmediata liberación de los ciudadanos españoles ilegalmente retenidos y secuestrados por Israel, velando por su integridad física y moral; llevando a cabo cuantas acciones sean necesarias para asegurar el respeto de la libertad de navegación y el fin del bloqueo ilegal de Gaza en aguas que no son de jurisdicción Israelí; así como todas cuantas acciones se deduzcan de la obligación erga omnes que atañe a todo estado parte de la convención para la prevención y la sanción del delito de genocidio; y de las obligaciones deducidas de la sentencia del TIJ que determina la ilegalidad de la ocupación de los territorios palestinos.
