"Today, a decade-long (2013 - 2023) case on Meta's involvement in US mass surveillance has lead to a first direct decision. Meta must stop any further transfers of European personal data to the United States, given that Meta is subject to US surveillance laws (like FISA 702). The EDPB had largely overturned the Irish DPC's decision, insisting on a record fine and that previously transferred data must be brought back to the EU."

Facebook must stop further transfers of European personal data to the United States, given that Facebook is subject to US surveillance laws (like FISA 702 and EO 12.333).

Hoy en el BOE, tenemos algo que rara vez se ve y que está muy bien. Se trata de un acuerdo por el que se reduce la subvención concedida como incentivo regional a una empresa que incumplió, concretamente Cepsa Química SA en Andalucía, por no invertir 17 millones de euros que tenía comprometidos: boe.es/diario_boe/txt.php?id=B…

Aparte de eso, una serie de convocatorias de premios de la AEPD, locomotoras declaradas bienes de interés cultural en Cataluña, la cettrería como bien de interés cultural en Extremadura, información pública de un proyecto de restauración hidrológica forestal de las cuencas vertientes al Mar Menor, y, por último, un montonazo de sentencias del constitucional, que tendréis que mirar si queréis el detalle.

No estaba al tanto de esa faceta de los centros de educación especial, pero tiene su lógica. En todo caso la ley tenía una transitoria de diez años, nada menos, para adaptar los centros generales a la educación inclusiva. Espero que se esté en eso.

Anyway, she's 11 now. Her bedtime is later, and she knows we don't mind if she stays up reading. She still loves books, but there are lots of things – messaging with friends, Roblox, etc – competing for her attention.

At some point, though, she figured out how to check out books on Libby, and read them on her iPad. She doesn't need our help at all.

It's the weirdest thing. Someone must have installed the app, entered her library card information, and left the icon there on the home screen.

Exciting times are ahead! We're starting to see new programming languages evolve the ideas popularized by #Rust. Children of Rust, if you will.

inko-lang.org/

Inko seems to trade off a little performance to get a compiler that accepts more code as valid, but still keeping strong safety guarantees. An easier-to-write language than Rust perhaps.

I'm looking forward to seeing more languages that make coding easier while not compromising on safety and reliability. :blobcatthumbsup:

We shouldn't respect higher menu prices, IMPO. I think regardless prices should be an upfront thing, and the delivery should be higher then. If they get less orders to bad so sad, it's clearer. As it stands, research the restaurant you want to go to, and use the cheapest priced menu option without resorting to premium. I agree generally with cooking and things instead of restaurant food, but lets keep things in prospective and not respect hiding tactics. reddit.com/r/skipthedishes/com…

Proposing a 64-bit only x86 arch (tentatively x86-S) is all well and good, but wow Intel still hasn't gotten over AMD creating 64-bit x86 (AMD64/x86-64):
intel.com/content/www/us/en/de…

Since its introduction over 20 years ago, the Intel® 64 architecture became the dominant operating mode.


No, the 64-bit architecture Intel introduced was Itanium (IA-64). That was also jointly developed by HP, based on their PA-RISC arch. It crashed and burned.

This is admittedly rather minor, but it irritates me to an almost irrational degree.


Envisioning a Simplified Intel Architecture for the Future

PC computing rests heavily on Intel Architecture processors with an enormous installed base, and cloud computing is synonymous with Intel Architecture.

@Brynify I hate this article. First it says:
> Windows 11 is so broken that even Microsoft can’t fix it
Then it says:
> It's concerning, though, that there seem to be areas where Windows 11 (and Windows 10, which is also suffering from this problem) is so broken that Microsoft simply can’t fix it.
But literally the exact sentence before that one:
> Microsoft claims that it is working on a resolution, and I hope it's able to roll one out that fixes the issue without making users uninstall certain apps.
So... it's... uh... fixing it? Clickbaity piece of garbage.
Also:
> Microsoft has just made a pretty remarkable admission, essentially conceding that it doesn’t have a solution for some Windows 11 problems.
It has. Uninstall them, or wait until they're done with
> working on a resolution
Holy crap this is a terrible article.

@talon @Brynify Microsoft used to have a thing about keeping legacy code around forever or taking ages to update a thing because of fears about breaking backwards compatability. It seems like this is getting lost on some level. But it also seems like a pretty small thing to focus on to declare the OS irreparably broken. Was hoping for a bit more meat on that bone!

@objectinspace @Brynify my main problem was that the article implied that Microsoft said they can't fix the problem, when in fact what they've actually said was hey, we're fixing the problem, until then you can try uninstalling the problematic apps. This is literally just someone being mad. Maybe I'm in the wrong industry if I can get paid for publishing my not thought through rants instead of posting them here all the time. lol

The Zoom M2 MicTrak is a 199 USD microphone that records. Pop a Micro-SD card into the MicTrak, and without any bulky gadgets and cables, you've got stereo 32-bit float recording. The fact that you can record in any situation without the risk of distortion is of enormous benefit to blind people recording in the field. When the product was launched late last year, it got off to the worst possible start, with overwhelmingly negative feedback about the product being unusable due to chronic radio frequency interference.

Zoom Sound Labs recalled many of the original batch of microphones, acknowledging the problem and proclaiming it fixed. And it appears they are right. The RF problems are gone and the device seems dependable. This handy microphone is an easy-to-use, simple way to get quality recording of anything, anywhere.

In this demonstration, Richard Mosen and I will unbox the M2 MicTrak, set it up, and take you through every single menu item on the device, so blind people can build a cheat sheet to help them set it up the way they like.
One setting you'll definitely want to enable is a handy beep to let you know when the microphone is recording. pnc.st/s/the-blind-podmaker/7f…

If you are in #Liberec, #MladáBoleslav or #Semily, visit a concert of the 🎼 Podkrkonšský symfonycký orchestr. They have a tour named "Bon appetit" and it's fun.
I have visited their concert in #Turnov this Saturday and it was delicious. 👌😁

Btw I discovered there this piece of music:

We can have one of two things — but not both.

We can either have a society that tolerates millionaires and billionaires polluting the planet and destroying the biosphere. Or we can have a planet with a healthy biosphere but with fewer millionaires and no billionaires at all.

This is from a recently published peer-reviewed scientific paper titled “Millionaire Spending Incompatible with 1.5 C Ambitions”...
______________________

Much evidence suggests that the wealthiest individuals contribute disproportionately to climate change. Here we study the implications of a continued growth in the number of millionaires for emissions, and its impact on the depletion of the remaining carbon budget to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Our findings suggest that the share of millionaires in the world population will grow from 0.7% today to 3.3% in 2050, and cause accumulated emissions equivalent to 72% of the remaining carbon budget. This significantly reduces the chance of stabilizing climate change at 1.5°C.

The concentration of wealth at the top means that a significant share of the remaining carbon budget to 1.5°C is depleted by a very small share of humanity. This comparably small group is also likely to invest its wealth in ways that further increase emissions.

Continued growth in emissions at the top makes a low-carbon transition less likely, as the acceleration of energy consumption by the wealthiest is likely beyond the system's capacity to decarbonize. To this end, we question whether policy designs such as progressive taxes targeting the high emitters will be sufficient.
