Reminder that the original Metatext third party app is no longer being maintained, as its lead developer had to step back due to health issues.
However, there is a new version of Metatext run by different people called Feditext which is currently in public beta testing. You can follow the official Feditext account at:
➡️ @Feditext
If you would like to join the public beta testing, it's on Apple TestFlight. There are more instructions here:

Sutherland said the threshold for informing Canadians was deliberately set very high because of the risk that such an alert could disrupt an election.

The least competent people on earth are burning all the resources they can get their hands on to maintain the illusion that this system is not completely on fire and collapsing.
There are a narrow set of cases where LLMs do provide value, and somehow "leaders" everywhere have decided instead to invest in the use cases where they are indistinguishable from magic.
Can someone please invent a new snake oil to sell these fucking people that doesn't require the power of a small nation?
Ok, so reading people who have cats they sound like a mixture between the devil incarnate and the spirit of contradiction.
Why do people even like them?
they're small and soft and warm, they love you and need you, and it's so easy to make them happy with treats or toys. It all adds up to making them ridiculously good at lighting up our parental reward circuits. They even have voices and faces like babies.
And cats mostly warn you before biting or scratching. That's why people joke that cats insist on consent. One of my friends who does kink education says that reading cats' non-verbal signals is really good practice for doms.
I'll admit the sounds can be quite cute, both the purring and meowing thing. The hissing... not so much. :)
Good catch with the consent issue though, you're the second person on my replies that highlights that side of it and it had never come to my mind.

Philosophy and mental health are deeply interconnected. The practical wisdom derived from philosophical reflection offers valuable insights and tools for navigating life's challenges. By integrating philosophical concepts into counseling, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences, fostering greater mental well-being.

***** Controlling AI scraping *****
Cloudflare's plan to give its users ways to block and/or monetize AI scraping is interesting, but of course there are ethical and other reasons to avoid using Cloudflare, since they continue to support some of the most disreputable sites on the Net.
This does however suggest the concept of an open source mechanism to provide the same sorts of features broadly (e.g., in conjunction with Apache servers) to any sites, anywhere. This could be paired with a system to keep sites updated about discovered source IP addresses of AI scrapers that are not adhering to robots.txt directives. Sidenote: #Google announced an effort to expand robots.txt to better deal with AI scraping issues, a concept I had already earlier suggested. I signed up for this, but never heard another word about it since the earliest days.
Time to get serious about controlling AI scraping.
Hey I have been reaching out all week on support mail, however I keep getting blocked on IP address from using my paid subscription. This is basically screwing me out of work. I am NOT doint anything untowards, not generating a lot of traffic. Please make sure someone gets in touch ASAP to stop this shit.

Nutzung einer externen Tastatur mit VoiceOver am iPhone: Ein Paar Gedanken
#VoiceOver #blind #iPhone #Accessibility
Die Kombination einer Bluetooth-Tastatur mit dem iPhone und der VoiceOver-Funktion kann ein echter Gamechanger sein. Ich nutze meine nun schon seit einigen Jahren und habe eine echte Workflow-Optimierung festgestellt. Es ist eine tolle Alternative zur Braille-Bildschirmeingabe oder zum herkömmlichen Touch Typing und bringt viele Vorteile mit sich. (1/7)
Als jemand, der seit Jahren Blinde und hochgradig Sehbehinderte an Hilfstechnologien schult, sehe ich täglich, wie wichtig es ist, die richtigen Werkzeuge zu haben. Eine Bluetooth-Tastatur kann für viele eine enorme Erleichterung darstellen und den Umgang mit VoiceOver und dem iPhone viel zugänglicher machen.
Insgesamt ist Diese Option für mich ein echtes Plus. Sie verbessert nicht nur meine Effizienz, sondern macht das Arbeiten mit dem iPhone auch viel flexibler. Wenn ihr also noch keine Bluetooth-Tastatur ausprobiert habt, kann ich es nur empfehlen – es könnte eure Arbeitserfahrung enorm verbessern! (7/7)
it would be very nice for the world and industry if what the C++ committee said here was true and if they actually cared about memory safety. but with a committee that writes nonsense like this, actively denying the problem, i don't see this happening.

Bonus: I did get it to bark like an angry dog and howl at the moon, both of which it did successfully and with much vigor, so I'm happy AI knows these things now. Good job, humanity.

1/2 "Na spiatočnej ceste vlakom sedeli vedľa mňa dve dámy. Rozprávali sa o niečo hlasnejšie, ako by sa patrilo, ale práve preto viem, že jedna z nich zarába v štátnej službe 900 eur – s príplatkami, keď je dobrý mesiac (august dobrý nebol).
Úprimne netuším, ako sa z 900 eur dá s aspoň nejakou mierou dôstojnosti prežiť, o nižších sumách nehovoriac, lebo aj tie mnohí ľudia dostávajú. A majú rodiny."

J'entends souvent des automobilistes râler que les cyclistes circulent sur la chaussée et pas sur les pistes cyclables.
Voici un exemple de pourquoi :
"pourquoi ils on des 4x4 a Paris?"
"pour mieux monter sur les trottoirs"
Aussi le truc qui surprend les Français qui émigrent à Montréal c'est la vitesse à laquelle ils se prennent des tickets de stationnement...
