Morning all, well, we were meant to be having a choir performance today, but it hasn't happened. We got an urgent message on our phones saying the mini bus that was meant to be taking us had been hit by a lorry, forcing it off the road for the forseeable future. Luckily, nobody was hurt and we were all safely at home. The situation could have been so much different. We could have been on that bus and had injuries or possible fatalities. So so grateful to be where I am.

glad nobody was hurt. Traffic accidents are so often life-changing and not in a good way!

This rainy dreary weather makes it so hard to get up and moving in the morning.

@mcourcel @cachondo Well give them the commonality of both the name and the structure, maybe higher than we might at first think. Hahaha!

@GamingWithEars @mcourcel @cachondo It's a different spelling, Sean Randall's name is spelled properly, the other one is decidedly not. Also I'm having a lot of fun imagining Sean Randall going from posh welsh to summerset.

@GamingWithEars @mcourcel just to throw confusion into the mix, before I married mrs randall, she was a Preece. But not the same Preece as Shaun.

Not to brag, but I was spewing out hilariously incorrect information before huge tech companies decided to create AI chatbots and ruin the internet.

@KhalidFusion Absolutely. To reach our goal of bringing privacy respecting solutions to the masses, we have to meet people where they are. That means not only developing apps for Android and iOS, but also free desktop clients for Windows, Mac, and Linux. 💪

Weil es immer so grausame Statistiken gibt wie "alle 2 Tage stirbt ein:e ..., wegen [unnatürliche Todesursache]", fragte ich mich gerade, wie das mit Verkehrstoten aussieht. Der ADAC liefert:

2023 gab es in D…

***2839***

… #Verkehrstote.

Mal aufn Taschenrechner schauen...

* knapp 8 Tote pro Tag
* also alle 3 - 4 Tage z.B. eine Schulklasse (Menge)
* knapp 55 Menschen / Woche

Nur in D. Guten Tag.

🗣Julián Assange: “Me declaré culpable de haber hecho periodismo”

En su primera declaración pública tras salir de la cárcel, el fundador de WikiLeaks reivindica su contribución y señala que no se ha hecho justicia.

Si te encuentras en una situación de insolvencia y no tienes bienes suficientes para hacer frente a las deudas, existe una solución pensada para personas en tu misma situación: el concurso sin masa. Este proceso te permite enfrentarte a la insolvencia de una forma más ágil y, en muchos casos, puede ayudarte a comenzar de nuevo gracias a la Ley de Segunda Oportunidad

El Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE) ya tiene colgadas en su canal las charlas y posterior mesa redonda de la jornada "A natureza do espazo-tempo". Las charlas son cortas y didácticas; y la mesa redonda muy chula (cómo mola Gastón Giribet)

Muy recomendable.

Today I learned that Apple Air Pods Pro in noise cancelling mode perfectly cancels the clicking of a geiger counter. You would not know it was making a sound. I hope that this is not relevant to /your/ day.

¿Os acordáis de aquel taxi que me dejó tirado con Yuco (mi perro guía) por Abril, y al que le puse una denuncia en el IMET (Instituto metropolitano del taxi)? Pues hoy me ha llegado la resolución. Para sorpresa de nadie, la queja ha sido archivada con una advertencia al taxista. Imagino que será algo como: Oye, Antonio, que si vuelve a pasar esto te damos unos azotes, ¿eh? No seas gamberro.

Pues eso, que parece que las denuncias tampoco valen de una mierda.

Buenos días. Sigo enfermo así que sigo en casa. Estoy mejor, eso sí. Creo que mañana estaré ya en buenas condiciones.

Any Lebanese Christian anywhere in the world has a moral duty to counter the propaganda being spread around that Israel is ‘liberating’ us. Israel is massacring our people and they must be treated like any invading army is treated anywhere in the world.

Acabo de descubrir que si bloqueas cookielaw.org, no te sale el famoso bloqueo de o aceptas cookies o pagas. No sé si será así con todas las webs, new acaba de pasar con la de Springer. Yo uso NoScript masivamente, aunque creo que hay otras soluciones.
Por cierto, si tenéis algún eliminador de elementos HTML, también suele funcionar (a veces, incluso para paywalls).

Twenty-two years ago on this day, we shipped #curl 7.10.

The first one using only the MIT license. Introduced --compressed. Certificate verification done by default. SOCKS5 support. A biggie.

Feels just like yesterday.

I really despise those days and weeks where I am just not able to finish the tune. It’s so close, but I just can’t come up with any more ideas. I tell myself: “just wait, there is another day”, but for some reason, that day does not come. It was so much easier in the days of playing in a band. So much harder to have to generate all the ideas on your own! :)

Hey @ppatel we are reading the “covenant of Water” and I can hardly find the word to express my amazement at the quality of writing, storytelling and reading (given that the author reads the book himself). I also learned quite a bit about the history of India, especially in those pre-independence days. Still 12 hours to go though! Thanks for the reco! #literature #books #fiction

Here’s a recording that I made on Friday morning of the sounds of the hurricane from my deck. I used an H1E, with two windscreens on it, as well as surrounded by a towel to prevent wind from blowing into the sides of the recorder as well. The extreme, low end was removed afterwards, so that you could actually hear something other than just the wind. dropbox.com/scl/fi/n1unh9f1e63…

Fake trailers were a problem before AI. Before, they'd be cut up from previous films in the series or other films the actors had appeared in.

Así hay montones de tráileresde películas, que o es un tráiler real pero la miniatura del video está toda fotochopeada o hecha por IA, o son falsos o fan made, de escenas de otras películas acá medio conceptual, orita me salió uno de Doom si Dwayne Johnson fuera protagonista.
(Sí salió en la de Doom de 2005 pero no era protagonista)

One caller asked for help finding her brother. Another needed info about evacuation routes. A third worried if a nearby dam was about to burst. And many callers said "I'm just so proud of my neighbors."

Yikes! That's very expensive.Your 41 dollars are more than 80Bgn xd. I could buy food for long long time with this.

Nothing makes you appreciate electricity like being without it for nearly five days. It's good to be back.

I sometimes wonder why all the FLOSS #mahjong #games on Linux are always the boring American "mahjong solitaire" version, never the traditional "street" mahjong, which is 100x more stimulating.

It would be so cool if #GNOME's #Mahjongg game (or a derivative) had a multiplayer-like mode, the one played by uncles in the streets of Hong Kong (youtube.com/watch?v=qzcmCvOM2K…), but with the computer as opponents (like in the embedded video below, or most computer chess games)…
