Gosh I feel like my english is just getting worse, I keep repeating words/phrases in following sentences without even recognising it, and generally, I feel it was better like a year before or so.
All the new Apple gear is doing quite well. Of course, the thoughts then turn to the insane amount of funds just laid out. Fortunately, the real big reason I even did this now was because I got a 10 month 0% APR balance transfer offer on a card that I did not use. So I now transfer the balance from the card I did use, to the one with the offer, and I get ten months to pay it off with no interest! Woohoo! So when I evaluated things from that perspective, I figure I can pay this huge expense off in ten months. Even though the initial moving plans are delayed until uncertainty, I'm still working on paying cleaners for this place. Fortunately, pest control is free from the building. For these things, I need to have liquid cash on hand, so I definitely appreciate the donations last month, and also this balance transfer offer that allowed me to spend free money that I don't actually have for ten months. So thanks to everything working out this way, I get to have some goodness with all the bull shit. Just wanted to clarify that I dind't not ask for donations to buy new Apple gear. Besides, I only really got $120. Doesn't quite cover it, LOL. In fact, the Apple gear wasn't even on my mind until I got the balance transfer offer. So I thank Mr. Visa for that one. And I most certainly thank my friends for the support on the bull shit side of the story, which is the damn pests. More cleaning happens Sunday, followed by more treatment. So yay or something like that. I can, however, see with clarity that this probably wasn't the best way to go about things, so if anyone who donated to the pest control assistance fund last month, and would prefer a refund, please DM me, and I'll get it done ASAP. If the donation still stands, I do much appreciate it, I thank you, and I appreciate an understanding that the Apple stuff was a totally new and different opportunity that came up.
Oh didn't even think of that, but thanks for the explanation never the less. Na I don't mind, you've deserved the donation never the less, if not for that then for the great instance administration. But it's good to know.

I knew pretty early that the EU regulation for IM interoperability is not going the way we want it to go. However the regulator is now looking at push services (FCM, APNS) and I believe we can make some real impact there. We have working solutions and our demands are significantly more actionable.
I don’t know what I was expecting but it looks more and more like the Messaging Interoperability the EU promised will be each gatekeeper essentially publishing their client to server protocol and then you can either use multi protocol messengers or t…
I was just going to say that there is a 5 year revision to DMA where messaging interop regulations can be amended but I see the public consultation recently closed: digital-markets-act.ec.europa.… However it is henceforth reviewed every three years, but it needs people with the right expertise to engage with it. Hope XMPP folks (XSF board etc) have an eye on this kind of thing!
The Commission is consulting on the first review of the DMA that is due by 3 May 2026. The Commission will conduct subsequent reviews every three years and report on the results to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and So…

Tekoälyä on povattu jo jonkin aikaa kuplaksi, mutta Nvidian marraskuussa 2025 julkistama tuorein neljännesvuoden tulos peittosi analyytikkojen odotukset.
Hei! Voisimmeko jotenkin kannustaa sinua käyttämään #NVIDIA-aihetunnistetta, kun viittaat kyseiseen yritykseen? Tiedän heidän NASDAQ-käyttäjätunnuksensa, mutta #NVDA on paljon laajemmin tunnettu valmistamamme näytönlukijan nimellä, ja #NVDA-aihetunnistetta käytetään erittäin laajalti näytönlukijoille. Se estää molempia yhteisöjämme saastuttamasta toistensa syötteitä. Jos haluat oppia lisää näytönlukijoista, verkkosivustomme on nvaccess.org/ - Kiitos!

thanks so much for the trip down memory lane tonight! I spent the last hour going through my archives, including websites I haven't updated or touched in 15 years, and now I've resurrected a little bit of stuff! public.monster/~darkuncle/
Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

"Nuremberg trial records made available online after painstaking 25-year project
Launch of digitisation project marks 80th anniversary of start of legal effort to bring Nazi leaders to justice
A fully digitised collection of the records of the Nuremberg trials is being launched online to mark the 80th anniversary of the start of the groundbreaking legal effort to bring Nazi leaders to justice.
Open access to every official document from the trial, held by the Harvard law school library, will be available to all researchers, whether amateur or professional, for the first time from Thursday after a 25-year endeavour by a 30-strong team of historians, metadata curators and librarians.
It began in 1998 with the removal of staples and paperclips from the delicate documents so they could be scanned."
"Search thousands of historical documents from the Nuremberg trials.
Examine trial transcripts, briefs, document books, evidence files, and other papers from the trials of military and political leaders of Nazi Germany."
Tomorrow night join @Liz, from 6 P.M. eastern (US time), for Mellow Vibes. It’s two hours of Acoustic, mellow, and unplugged music. So tune in tomorrow night, and start the weekend relaxed. HKCRadio.com
have one more because I'm nice. :) A pregnant mother who was expecting 3 kids got shot 3 times. She was fine, the kids were fine, but the doctors couldn't find the bullets. One day after a bit, one of the kids, a daughter comes up and says, "Mom, I just peed out a bullet." The next day another one comes up, another daughter and she says, "Mom you'll never guess what happened." Mom says, "You peed out a bullet?" Daughter says yes. A few days later the third kid, a son comes up to mom and is like, "I'm so embarrassed, mom. You'll never guess what happened." Mom replies, "It's okay, your sisters told me that they peed out a bullet each, is that what happened?" The son is red in the face and says, "No... I was rubbing myself and I shot the dog."
Starting from a bit of the sound check, time for two and a half hours of live music. Tonight being Bob's actual birthday, here's the music from his party!
The Roman Empire prospered due to open borders, mass immigration and diversity then fell because of huge wealth inequality and corrupt leadership. I just thought I'd mention it.
@ellyxir are you in same wifi? Second device' setup deliberately does not work via internet. If in same wifi, it might be blocking peer to peer connections. You then could export in settings-chats and media- export, transfer the file to second device' (somehow) and "I already have a profile"-"import"
So cool to see a big project like curl (big as in getting shipped with everything these days) go the proactive route of communicating technically inherent risk and security-impacting design decisions.
KNOWN RISKS: - Looking too cool while using cURL 😎 - Actually getting what you want from a webpage, with clear messages on what your computer is doing.
Maybe this one, which kind of violates the principle of least surprise (but not a security risk)
> When curl is invoked, it (unless --disable is used) checks for a default config file and uses it if found, even when --config is used. The default config file is checked for in the following places in this order:
> When there is a remote attacker already present in the server, curl cannot protect its operations against mischief.
Does that mean that if I wanted to fetch an URL from a malicious server and write the response to stdout, but the server managed to trick curl into saving it to a file with server-controlled filename, despite the commandline options, that would not be a vulnerability in curl?
When you include the curl copyright information in your tool, this will cause some of your users to write to Daniel when their Internet connection is flaky.
Heeeyyy Fedi!!! I have a question that I *know* a bunch of you are going to be able to answer.
For the past couple decades I've wanted an electric guitar, but my ex always shot it down. So, now that I've escaped that abusive relationship, and with it nearing the holidays again, I've decided I'm going to finally get one.
Last time I played guitar was in middleschool (and some bass in highschool), so I'm starting from scratch.
My constraints: - 6 string electric guitar - under $200 - used/hand me down is great - pink would be awesome - probably right-handed (because that's what I learned on)
Does anyone have a recommendation (or better yet, an old guitar near Seattle that could use the sweet, sweet love of a new owner?)
I looked at Amazon (🤢) and found something that seems like it fits my needs, but I hate supporting them, *and* I have no idea if it's garbage or not.

Really happy to see Apple now using UK audio description for shows set in the UK. Up until recently, any shows set in the UK were described by the same people who did like 99% of Apple TV Plus shows, and while those guys did an awesome job, I found it really took me out of the story to have a US Voice talent randomly popping into and otherwise completely British show lol. I'm not sure why it took them so long to do this, other services like Netflix have used UK audio description narrators for UK shows in the past, but glad to see this is finally changing.
Things like that don't matter. anything is better than no description at all, even TTS. I prefer human describers, but if I can't get a human it is what it is.
