NIS2 is not regulation, it's a directive. That means NIS2 alone is not a thing for businesses, it's a thing for the governments - as each member state has to transpone the directive into a nation state legislation. E. g. I don't care the NIS2 alone, however I am looking for the novelisation of the Slovak Cybersecurity law.

This long intro brings me to conclusion I can't imagine any EU directive to be mandatory (for adoption) by default to Switzerland.




Today is a special day for the @libreoffice community.

14 years ago, we decided to take a bold step and create LibreOffice, the best open source office suite.

Since then, we've managed to take LibreOffice to the top of the open source community and release 29 versions with incredible features and match our interoperability in the market.

Congratulations to the LibreOffice Community of developers, marketers, documenters, advocates, managers and, above all, our loyal users.

I'm staying in Sunnyvale and it looks like I might have tomorrow evening free. If anyone in the bay area would be interested in catching up, let me know.


No, takže v našem okrese zvítězil kandidát hnutí ANO. Hnus.

Q: if you are currently a full-time software developer, have any specific results from software engineering research in the last 20 years changed how you analyze requirements, design or write code, deploy it, monitor it, organize teams, or track work? Please note: I'm not asking about indirect improvements (e.g., better static code analysis => better linting tools) or about impact of research in other fields (e.g., ML coding assistants). Thanks in advance for on-topic replies.

The complaint against LAPD for raiding a medical imaging place bc they thought it was a grow op, getting their rifle stuck to the MRI, and quenching the magnet is jaw dropping even for regular cop incompetence

Could the teenage engineering people please jump the shark somehow so I can somehow stop coveting anything rolling past that's even vaguely adjacent to their staked-out esthetic.

The cryptocurrency "industry" is spending tens of millions to remove Ohio's Democratic senator. If this tips the balance in the Senate, the damage this will cause to our nation will be incalculable.

Crypto is a home for some of the worst slimeballs in the world. Now its key backers are working to make things much, much worse -- all for greed and screw everyone else.

They are loathsome. And unaccountable.

Today's rendition of the game "is this AI hype from 2024 or 1974"?

"In three to eight years we will have a machine with the general intelligence of an average human being. I mean a machine that will be able to read Shakespeare, grease a car, play office politics tell a joke, have a fight. At that point the machine will begin to educate itself with fantastic speed. In a few months it will be at genius level and a few months after its powers will be incalculable."

Minsky ~1970.

Ok, this is pretty cool. I have had my BT speak since mid july, but I never really tried the pandora player until today. Its not bad at all. Simple player. As far as I can tell, it does not have a thumb up/thumb function, but truly, it does not matter to me. My days of creating pandora stations have long passed. Now, its purely for that trip down memory lane. I like it. @BlazieTech


My sister brought me some chocolate cake for my birthday today it was yummy!

in reply to Matt Campbell

@matt Yeah, I sort of feel this way about what I did with Pinafore. It was almost an experiment in making the most hyper-optimized SPA I could, a scorched-earth approach to perf optimizations. But it was also a one-man show, and bound to a particular framework, so it wasn't necessarily going to be maintainable long-term. I'm curious how Semaphore/Enafore have held up since then.

At the end of the day, perf is just one virtue among others, and has to be weighed accordingly.

in reply to Nolan Lawson

Well I'm still happily using Semaphore, but don't know what I might be missing compared to other clients.


THe Discord quick switcher makes absolutely no sense to me.

I don't know how one could design an algorithm that always produces the wrong result, but Discord has clearly managed to do so.



So, one of the common scam texts we seem to get here is something about a USPS package that can't be delivered due to incorrect address information or something of the sort. The freaking weird thing is, these scammers can't even be bothered to obtain a U.S. voip number for outbound texting, which results in texts coming from random country codes, E.G. +63, talking about this. Given USPS is a service run by the U.S. government and is only national, this is such a trivial red flag that I wonder why they even bother. Pretending to be UPS makes more sense at least, as that one's international. But even so, numbers in the same country of origin as your recipient, guys! It likely isn't *that* hard!
in reply to x0

This might be intentional, just as bad grammar in Nigerian Prince scams is.

If you're the kind of person to notice this, you're unlikely to go through the whole process and gets scammed. Hence, it is not worth wasting any effort on you, and it's better to eliminate you from the scam prospect pipeline as soon as possible.

I wish there was a way to make Xcode / VoiceOver stop saying the word “new line” at the end of each new line. It’s confusing, disorienting and unnecessarily verbose. I was hoping I could get VoiceOver “ignore” this in the “punctuation” section, but I can’t figure out if there is a way to do that.

You have to make a punctuation scheme based on some, and then add the punctuation you actually need


I am considering creating a small, professional Web site to document my research, accessibility-related work, and other interests. I can write HTML; I have a Web server configured, and I can maintain files under Git revision control.
What I now want is a set of predefined style sheets that will take care of the visual layout, conforming to all of the applicable accessibility guidance (font selection, layout for mobile and desktop environments, reflow, etc.). The plan would be to write correct HTML, and for the presentation to be handled automatically - in the first instance, for static content.
What are others using and recommending nowadays? There are various CSS collections on GitHub, for example.

Thanks everyone for bringing me back to the way of truth, I mean, structured properties in logs. It's not only optimal, but easy and beautiful also (yes, one more praising post to #CSharp).

I haven't kept up on your journey (I've seen several of the posts, though). If nobody has linked you yet, this blog post by Ben Foster (not sure if he's on the Fediverse) was a huge help for me when I started with Serilog: benfoster.io/blog/serilog-best…


Clothing sizes are like the metric vs. imperial discussion, but there's like 6 commonly used systems, also the definition of all units depend on what product you're using and what brand you're buying from.

“Oh yeah, this Ikea table is supposed to be one metre wide but actually the Ikea brand uses a rather small centimetre so it's like 92 SI centimetres.”

They have played us for absolute fools
