Il en va de sa période climato-négationniste comme du principe de précaution: l'obscurantisme de l'AFIS apparait mieux avec le recul. Ce papier sur la vaccination est proprement criminel, après 3 ans de Covid. afis.org/Le-principe-de-precau…
La récente campagne de vaccination contre la grippe A/H1N1 vient de fournir une nouvelle preuve, s’il en était besoin, du caractère inapproprié, et (...)
boh! N'aurais-je pas respecté la pouetiquette ? 😢 Cette question était sincère, je ne tiens pas particulièrement à défendre l'AFIS, je suis juste curieux parce que je ne vois pas ce qu'il y a de criminel dans ce papier spécifiquement.
@nicoco Parce qu'il reproche un excès de précaution devant le risque épidémique et que c'est avec la collaboration de ce type de conneries, répétées les premières semaines par toute la mouvance AFIS, le Point, l'Express qu'il n'y avait aucune préparation pour le Covid.
> Enfin, c’est en partie à cause d’une présentation dévoyée du principe de précaution (montée en épingle de risques vaccinatoires hypothétiques, sans peser les avantages) que nombre de gens ne se sont pas fait vacciner. > Au final, c’est l’utilité même de la vaccination qui s’est trouvée mise en cause aux yeux d’un grand nombre de concitoyens, et cette gestion désastreuse n’a pu qu’apporter de l’eau au moulin des ligues anti-vaccinales.
Le point, l'express et raoult qui racontent des conneries j'étais au courant, je vais essayer de me renseigner sur ce que Bronner (Gérald?) a dit sur le covid. Je ne suis pas de très près tous les zinzins médiatiques. Il n'en reste pas moins que « le principe de précaution » c'est tellement vague que l'on peut lui faire dire une chose et son contraire… au sein même d'un court article comme celui ci.
Sans connaître de très près l'AFIS, à ma connaissance ils défendent des positions très "zététiciennes", souvent aveugles face aux malversations de nos chères industries (très pro-nucléaire, très pro-produits phytosanitaires, etc.). Mais il me semble que l'antivaxxisme est hors de leur registre et je suis surpris de les voir associés à ça. Je ne savais pas qu'ils avaient raconté des conneries sur le réchauffement climatique, je vais chercher un peu tout ça.
Facebook/Meta laid off 11,000 people and now is doing 40 BILLION in stock buybacks. None of these companies care about cost cutting, they saw an opportunity to suppress wages without any criticism and they took it. cnbc.com/2023/02/01/facebook-p…

Can you believe we’re into our fourth week of 2023 already? This week, we’ve got more on the recently released 2022.4, our inspiring trip to Samoa, and more: NVDA 2022.4 NVDA 2022.4 has been out fo…
@DavidGoldfield Thank you! And of course, it works the other way as well - if there is a keystroke in NVDA you don't like, or a feature which doesn't have a keystroke out of the box - like screen curtain, you can add a new keystroke or change the existing one as well.
Being held hostage by the HP printer company is not new. For well over a decade, HP has engineered a chip into its laserjet cartridges, which prevent running the printer on 3rd party cartridges (until, that is, the 3rd party cartridge company has reverse engineered the chip). HP is a very customer-hostile company. Hence, my new personal printer is from Brother. theatlantic.com/technology/arc… @pluralistic @cwarzel@twitter
Remember those sky-high gas prices in 2022? How about those idiotic Biden “I did this” stickers that right-wing trolls put on every gas pump? Well, Exxon Mobil's shareholders wish to thank you.
“Exxon Mobil posted a $56 billion profit for 2022, the company said on Tuesday, taking home about $6.3 million per hour last year, and setting not only a company record but a historic high for the Western oil industry.”
I wrote a blog post about the dangers of focusing too much on hardware specs to predict performance when choosing hardware. In my experience many other factors (such as the software the hardware will run) have much more of an impact. Focusing on specs alone incentivizes bad practices like planned obsolescence and disposable hardware.

Kann es sein, dass du noch andere Repros (siehe Antwort von @SylvieLorxu ) und eine andere F-Droid-App nutzt? Dein Screenshot unterscheidet sich auch im Hinblick auf das Design der App sehr von meinem.
Siehe Bildbeschreibung. Ja, das ist Neo Store. Un ja, ich habe außer F-Droid un meinem noch Bromite und microG Repos eingebunden. Aber die Kategorie Messaging gibt es nur in meinem Repo. Die anderen beiden hätten dafür auch nichts passendes im Sortiment 😉
Habe Neo Store gerade testweise installiert. Ergebnis: Die Neo Store-App sortiert Apps anders als die Standard-F-Droid-App. SimpleX Chat ist im Neo Store in der Kategorie "Phone & SMS". In der Standard-F-Droid-App ist sie in der Kategorie "Messaging". Warum auch immer...
OK, aber jetzt schaut Deine Liste auch gut gefüllt aus. Bleibt die Frage, warum dies beim offiziellen Client anders aussieht. Gerade mal geschaut: Bei mir zeigt sie in der Kategorie "Messaging" gerade mal 14 Apps. Ah ja: Alle Apps mit AntiFeatures fehlen, obwohl laut Konfiguration alle angezeigt werden sollten. Bei einer Suche werden sie jedoch gefunden.
Würde mal sagen, das schaut nach einem Bug aus. Machst Du ein Issue auf?
@IzzyOnDroid kann es nicht sein, dass das so aussieht, wenn man als einzige weitere Paketquelle das Simplex Repo für FDroid hinzufügt? Ich habe das nämlich auch und mir bisher so erklärt.
@iak DAs würde zumindest die Kategorie erklären ("Phone & SMS" ist eine der default Kategorien – "Messenger" ist eine bei mir zusätzlich eingerichtete Kategorie.
Context: if you follow #deltachat_desktop discussions on the #deltachat forum you might already know that we're planning to move #deltachat_desktop from #electron to #tauri in the future. But porting the desktop client is a big effort (our move to #jsonrpc was one step into this direction). So I made this small sample project to check tauri out. It's a nice side effect if the emoji picker is useful by itself, maybe we could even build a community for the emoji picker.
There's nothing wrong with honest disagreements between people of good faith and I love a lively debate, but please keep all conversations respectful. Here's a quick guide to logical fallacies. It might be worth it for us all to review.
From 2023, W3C is its own legal entity (“W3C Inc”). What's new, you ask? Well, it's a big change, as until this year, W3C wasn't a thing in itself. It existed in a “hosted model”, meaning (most recently) four universities “hosted” W3C, with staff being employed by/through those universities. Three of those universities (all except MIT) are still around, now as ”partner”.
Someone asked me about de-centralized social media iOS app Damus, which uses the Nostr protocol -- and has been promoted heavily by Twitter Co-Founder Jack Dorsey.
Things I like:
1. Looks simple 2. Neat UI/UX 3. Easy to get up and running
Things I don't like:
1. The private key / public key is difficult to use 2. Interoperability with different clients is not fun 3. More crypto bullshit
I've tried other Nostr clients. It's pretty much the same thing.
Mein Artikel zum automatischen Entschlüsseln von LUKS Partitionen mittels eines TPM2 chips ist heute auch im FedoraMagazine erschienen fedoramagazine.org/automatical…
Entering the passphrase to decrypt the disk at boot can become quite tedious. On modern systems a secure hardware chip called "TPM" (Trusted Platform Module) can store a secret to automatically decrypt your LUKS partitions.

The Github Mastodon support is really neat - just add a link to your Mastodon account in Github, then add your Github account here, and it automatically verifies you.

@Friendica Support Good evening everyone. To help the mastodon users of my new instance poliversity.it (a spin off for researchers and journalists, born from my instance friendica poliverso.org) I started promoting the use of the Friendica forums, as a way to make up for the lack of topics all inside of mastodon.
I then discovered that a fediverse project already exists, managed by the "immers-space" cooperative, which aims to create real groups (a.gup.pe/) and the mechanism on which it is based it is the same as the Friendica forums (re-share messages addressed to the group address which will be [groupname] + @ a.gup.pe ) .
I confess that I don't like that immers-space centrally manages a service for the entire fediverse, while the possibility that any friendly user can autonomously manage a group/forum seems to me more adherent to the spirit of the fediverse.
However, I have found that gup groups have extremely good performance compared to Friendica, reposting received messages in real time (and on any instance!), while Friendica groups have a much higher latency.
What can be the reason? This is a question related to the higher performance of gup servers compared to those of poliverso.org, or it depends on the design of friendica compared to that of gup (here the github link github.com/immers-space/guppe )
@Signor Amministratore My experience has been somewhat different. The reliability of #guppe does not seem constant to me. Sometimes it dropped out or a post was only shared hours later. With a #Friendica #forum, on the other hand, I have observed a relatively constant latency of a few seconds to 1-2 minutes. Perhaps @Μαθθίας/ξ ✔ can contribute something more competent.
In addition, a forum also offers a relatively well-structured presentation, while guppe is just a pure distribution list.
Its a load question. When you have got a server that only does forums and nothing else, then it will be much faster than a server with a lot of users and some forums.
@Signor Amministratore My experience is the exact opposite as far as a.gup.pe/ is concerned. From my point of view it is extremely unreliable. Either posts are not shared, or if they are, they are shared very late. From my point of view, forums at Friendica are much more reliable.
Performance, accessibility, and usability are more than just inconvenient truths you can pretend don’t exist. They have a direct impact on the quality of someone’s life…
Why am I finding all the good #Christmas #music late? I love this so much that I won't give any spoilers. Let's just say this should have been playing in a certain shop around this time of year. No, it's not "Never Gonna Give you up" or any other prank of that nature, but it is pretty funny and cool. youtube.com/watch?v=pDGl2albRH…
If anyone is looking for tips about DAWs, ignore anything from homerecordingpro.com. I don't know if they've always done this, but this particular article is AI generated. It's fairly obvious on first glance to anyone involved with music or audio production IMO. I wish search engines had a report feature to blacklist websites like this from being indexed, because someone who might not know about DAWs might be fooled by this. homerecordingpro.com/how-to-us…
it seemns the #steamdeck wasn't revolutionising much of anything, the idea was tryed before, with varying success. Sure, while you could think of the gpd win and not be far from the truth, actually there was an even earlier attempt at the same thing by #samsung. Since this was launched in the xp era, of course it didn't catch well at the time, however it's still an awesome thing to think about. In short, it was a windows xp powered tablet, with a touchscreen, game controller and stuff like that, and while the specs are horible by today's standards, it was quite an achievement back then.

Didn't Netlify just have a 16% layoff just a few weeks ago? So they have the cash to buy another company? Netlify Acquires Gatsby netlify.com/press/netlify-acqu… All these companies have tons of money for C-suite bonuses, and buying new companies. Yet, they are doing layoffs saying the economy is down while paying bonuses to the top executives and getting rid of working folks. I hate this so much.
Netlify has acquired Gatsby – cloud platform, and creators of web framework Gatsby – advancing composable web architectures with increased flexibility.
