“Elon Musk lived in apartheid South Africa until he was 17. David Sacks…left aged five, and grew up in a South African diaspora family in Tennessee. Peter Thiel spent years of childhood in South Africa and Namibia, where his father was involved in uranium mining[…]. And Paul Furber, an obscure South African software developer and tech journalist living near Johannesburg, has been identified by two teams of forensic linguists as the originator of the QAnon conspiracy.”

Yet another completely packed room, for Jan Kohnert’s talk about the Matrix-based TI-Messenger advancing communication in German healthcare 👏

Gnihihi. Die Mobilapp von MS Teams ist mal wieder borken.

Microsoft ist zunehmend ein komplettes Dumpsterfire. Ja, ich weiß, ich bin genauso schockiert wie ihr...

"zunehmend"? Also ich hab das jetzt ja lange nicht benutzt, aber äh, war das nicht schon immer so?
in reply to Bubu

@Bubu for whatever value of dumpsterfire. Aber mittlerweile sind z.B. bei mir im Unternehmen selbst die Microsoft Fanboys ziemlich angepisst. Aber die Businessprozesse sind halt so tief in diese Müllhalde integriert, dass man sie auch nicht mit endlichem Aufwand wegmigrieren kann. Klassischer Vendor-Lockin

Find a sequence of 1000 positive integers in arithmetic progression whose digit sums in base 10 are equal.


Re-reading an Iain M. Banks book while travelling and, as always recently, distracted a little while reading it when coming across Ships' names by the knowledge that Elon is a fan and re-uses them at SpaceX. Like finding a little grain of sand in your food.

I was happy then, in this reading, to be reminded of a Ship's name that entirely encompasses his whole deal.

V pondelok je team-building, opekačka... nechce sa mi ale ok. Ok!?





Yet another one study showing the stereotype threat does not exist. At this point the effect should be considered invalid and should not be used as an argument in any discussion (be it online or official).

I downloaded it this morning. My only problem with Bard Express updates is that I have to change all my settings, every time! But otherwise, it's a good update.






DINUM’s Julie Ripa is giving a talk about everything Tchap, the French sovereign messenger based on @matrix and look at how PACKED the room is!

The future is now, and @matthew is giving us a glimpse at what to expect in the VERY short run.

Exciting to see MONTHS if not years of work fitting together

#matrixConf




At #matrixConf today and tomorrow.

Conference number 4 and conference day 10 this month.




So excited to be at the first ever #matrixconf by @matrix! Looking forward to learning and chatting tons about messaging interoperability, decentralization, and the future of online communication 🙌


He said it! Given the massive success #matrixConf already is, we will be back in 2025 and it will be in France!


We’re packed! Main room is full, second room is filling up quickly too!


Buenas, a todos los que seguís mi caso contra Iberia el famoso ocaso goleta contra Goliat os cuento que hemos ganado el juicio, la sentencia dice que ellos actuaron con negligencia, y nos hubiera ido mejor si ellos hubieran aparecido, pero supongo que lo calcularon para no ir o sea, una batalla más granada para los perros guías


If you're an AdGuard user and use PiccyBot, be aware that the latest update released yesterday is causing a server issue that blocks access to the UI. A fix is currently in progress, and we’ll update the community as soon as it's resolved.


Look at that massive room of 150 people overflowing so much we had to live stream the opening remarks to a second room on the venue at #matrixConf


Consistent delivery of app icon sketches on a Friday. What more could you ask for?

I'm very stupid and forgot to bring a mask with me to #matrixconf. Does anyone know where I can still buy one close to the location?
in reply to Moritz

We are giving masks at the check in booth @preya, just come and scan your ticket!


Woo, getting ready to press the big "Go Live" button for the streams, as I see a @josh getting to his stage!

The excitement is real 🤩

Follow along at 2024.matrix.org/watch/!

Hey y'all. Drunk driving is whack. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU RUN OVER LOCAL MUSICIANS WHO ARE WALKING HOME FROM THEIR BARTENDING GIG WHICH THEY HAVE TO DO BECAUSE WE DON'T VALUE WORKING MUSICIANS ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THEM IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS THEM TO FOCUS SOLELY ON THEIR MUSIC.

Anyway. Go support Luke Trimmer's Go Fund Me to help with his medical and recovery expenses.

And DON'T. FUCKING. DRINK. AND. DRIVE.

we laugh, but the UK's only had it for 7 or 8 years or so


I've been screwing around with #NotebookLM for a few days, and I've found that there are some web sources it will simply refuse to acknowledge. 2 examples of my own stuff include t2000.seediffusion.cc and cube.seedy.cc.
