It is our moral imperative to consider the "real world" and actual users when assessing the possible security impact of a reported #curl issue. If we deem that there is likely to be zero affected users, then we do more damage than good by insisting on doing the security dance for the issue.

Then we end up with a severity level that is below LOW, and then we treat it as a bug instead. For the good of mankind.

RE: social.bau-ha.us/@CCC/11589238…

How about we declare June 14 Schengen Day – a day of both celebrating the achievement that is the Schengen Agreement and of protest against border checks.

Politicians – and voters – almost exclusively hear the xenophobic ramblings of the nationalists. We need to change that!

CCC (@CCC@social.bau-ha.us)

It is important that the achievements of Schengen, of free movement in Europe without border control are emphasised. German EU law professor Werner Schroeder decided to sue Germany over illegal controls https://euobserver.com/rule-of-law/ar0dff2b9e

Viele Politiker kritisieren Elon Musk und X als Plattform für Hass, Desinformation und Radikalisierung – und äußern diese Kritik ausgerechnet dort. Damit stabilisieren sie Reichweite, Relevanz und Geschäftsmodell genau jener Plattform, die sie angeblich ablehnen. Wer X nutzt, füttert den Algorithmus mit Aufmerksamkeit. Konsequente Kritik hieße: X verlassen und Kommunikation dorthin verlagern, wo Debatten nicht durch Empörung monetarisiert werden.

Warum das Argument, man müsse in sozialen Netzwerken bleiben, um Opposition zu leisten, völliger Unsinn ist

Der Mythos der »notwendigen Opposition« auf Plattformen wie X und TikTok ist eine Illusion: Auseinandersetzungen verstärken Desinformation und fördern das Geschäftsmodell.

Wer so handelt, macht sich zum nützlichen Statisten: Man empört sich über die Folgen, aber liefert weiter den Treibstoff. Das ist keine Notwendigkeit, das ist Bequemlichkeit – und am Ende Feigheit vor dem Reichweitenverlust. Wer X als demokratiegefährdend bezeichnet, kann dort nicht gleichzeitig „weiter informieren“. Das ist Legitimation durch Mitmachen.

every time the topic of "the internet is hopelessly broken" comes up, someone has to mention Meshtastic, I'll be that person this time. I've never used it myself, and even though the way it works it provides some very unimpressive throughput only enough for text messaging, I just like the general concept of an uncontrollable peer-to-peer mesh network.

This is a longshot, but yesterday I gave a 3-hour (!?) lecture to a group of students from the Fashion Institute of Technology on the history of manga, and before I could finish answering a student's question about yuri, we ran out time and had to clear the room. So on the off chance that one of the student's might search my name and find this account, here's the full answer. #FashionInstituteOfTechnology #KyotoInternationalMangaMuseum 1/n

My next adventure is figuring out Linux, to be specific, it's gonna be Ubuntu 25, on my Medion Laptop which won't be helpful running Windows anymore since it already consumes 5/8GB Ram idling around. And I wanted to build myself an own opinion on Linux and it's accessibility for a while now. Already got the installer to talk, though I haven't installed it yet. Firstly had to figure out how to boot into that thing cuz each Laptop manufacturer has it's own magic procedure that might or might not work to get into whatever kind of boot menu they decide to add or don't.
Anyway this evening I hope I can get through the setup process. I have already spend to much time with it yesterday lol, went to bed at 1 AM on a work day.

I will say that our puppy socks has the cutest little bark ever. I’ve got a recording of it sitting in my Voice Memos. But I think he’s gonna be one of those dogs that likes to be around people. He tends to whine or follow us around the house when we’re moving around and doing other things. He just loves being around all of us. and he loves to play first thing in the morning when we all wake up.

Okay so tonight I have to brag. So with Termux, Emacs, and Emacspeak, there were 2 big problems I still had from when I got AI to rig DecTalk up. First, the tone used for "blank line" and indentation was not working. Second, after a while the Emacspeak sounds would stop working even though DecTalk still was.
So, Claude Code, Opus 4.5, fixed the tone issue, something about sox and Termux specific stuff, and made the Emacspeak sounds thing less of an issue than it was. It still happens, but on first launch without putting Termux in the background and such, it stays alive.

The coolest part, I was using Claude Code inside of Termux on the bus going out to eat. And by the time I got home, it was all fixed!

Across the U.S., people are rising up against ICE raids and state violence—and the risks are real.

Peaceful protest is a constitutional right. But this Trump regime has made clear it will not respect that right when power is challenged.

I wrote 13 Rules to Protect Yourself While Protesting to help you stay safe, protect one another, and show up with purpose and clarity as we defend our communities.

Please read & share widely. Our safety depends on each other.

You cannot just write "potato is being blocked on my laptop" as the subject of your support request, and then just leave it at that. I don't know, either. Knowing computer people though, there are probably seven different incompatible versions of potato, and "potato" could be anything from a word processor to a network diagnostic tool. You thought I was joking, huh? So did I! But googling for potato software reveals an AI tool for biologists, some kind of audio mixing tool, an instant messenger, a text annotation tool, a background transcription tool, and more. All of these programs are all called just "potato". Also, the AI answers above the search results happily tell me, with no context: "Start using potato in your project by running npm i potato. The children components of your potatoes may themselves have components and your potatoes might rapidly look like small tree-like structures of components." I'll...get right on that. Potatoes that look like trees and have children is the one thing all of my projects are missing!

This is exactly what the Germans said during world war II. If you don't believe Alligator Alcatraz, and the detention centers ICE is running in Honduras, are concentration camps, you are just like the germans who claimed they were "just following orders". Your president is actively planning an armed invasion of my country of Canada, so don't expect any simpathy from me. Let's hope there will eventually be an equivalent of Nuremberg trials, and all of you enabling the modern SS will also get the justice you deserve.

I've gone through @bce 's product purchase process, including product browsing, configuration, adding to cart, viewing cart, and checkout pages to make sure they are accessible to screen reader users. I've replaced all tables with hierarchical headings, and made sure all inputs are labelled. I'm testing with LibreWolf on Debian with Orca. If any blind users out there could test with their setups and have any feedback, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
