Did you know that MATA built one of the Metacities on top of the ruins of fairly important ruins of an ancient city?

Growing up in the 80s and 90s due mostly to ominous news stories I remember as a kid being very sad that all of my friends with divorced parents would have to live lives of crime and be criminals, or otherwise bad people.
This, of course, didn't happen. And the "divorce epidemic" ended, now people get married later, get married less often, but are more likely to stay together.
The horde of "latch key kids" failed to ruin society and no one ever talks about it.
Greta Thunberg joined our United for Climate Justice coalition today and our blockade of a busy Brussels' street.
This disruption of traffic and of business as usual is nothing in comparison to what the climate catastrophe will wreak.
We need urgent action now, but we're still rushing headlong into a terrifying future, all for the sake of greed and growth.

I'm looking for a student for an M.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Calgary. *This is a fully funded position.*
The project: building tools to help understand how "retro" video games were made under amazingly constrained circumstances. While it's a CS position, this is interdisciplinary work done in collaboration with archaeologists and others.
Needs: strong coding skills, good writing abilities. Ideally: low-level, reverse engineering, or compiler experience.
Hm, pred 8 rokmi mi aj "iba" jeden terabit stál za napísané blogu:

Together with other organisations we are currently blocking the Rogier metro station in Brussels as part of the ongoing #StopFossilSubsidies action.
€400 billion in subsidies was given to the fossil industry in the EU last year, which is about €1000 per EU citizen. (1/3)

Vivaldi seems to be mentioned a lot, so that's going to be the first browser I look into. What else are people here using (and happy with😉)?
There was a story that went around this week about movie studios' woes with "superfans."
A "superfan" is somebody who has attached their whole personality to hating an intellectual property they loved in their youth.

BTW, I have never heard no. People mostly even give me the email (not asking for it) as they want that picture as well.
2 Monate Fahrverbot und 150 Tagessätze für den Todesfahrer von Andreas Mandalka. Das erscheint manchen wenig, die Geldstrafe ist aber fast ein halbes Jahreseinkommen. Nichts kann ein Menschenleben aufwiegen.

Listening to true crime cases from the 80s that "D&D Satanism scare" was some wild shit.
Was everywhere, propagated by sheriffs, detectives, unquestioning media, & the in-person equivalent of your out there Facebook relative.
Normies been fucked up about a lot of things for a long time.
Endlessly kvetching about masks is one way to do it, another way to do it is to make the NAIAD explain why so many youngsters are displaying brain changes consistent with the onset of Alzheimer's Disease.
To be clear, I'm talking about stuff like this:

Intersecting with this:
If you are like me, you often need to type or copy and paste things over and over again. For example, I have a couple Zoom meetings I host. Even though I email the Zoom info to people, there is always somebody who calls me or emails me and asks for the Zoom info again. This used to be annoying, until I found out about the text substitution feature of Microsoft Word and Outlook. Note, I do not know if this feature works in the new version of Outlook. I have only tried this in Outlook Classic. The way this works is that whatever text you need to put in a Outlook email or Word document often, you create what Word or Outlook calls a building block with the text. As an example, I created a building block with my personal zoom room and called it pz. To do this, I did the following:
- I started a new email in Outlook.
- I copied the Zoom info from Zoom into the email.
- I selected all of the text containing the Zoom info.
- I pressed Alt F3.
- A box came up asking me for the name of the building block. I typed pz. You can type whatever word or phrase you want.
- I pressed Enter.
Now, whenever I need to put this info into an email, I type pz followed by F3. Just like that, my Zoom info is in the body of the email.

📢 *AI-generated podcasts aren't here to replace human creativity* 🎙️—they're enhancing accessibility, especially for people like me who learn best by listening. As a blind student, tools like NotebookLM turning PDFs into podcasts help me absorb material more effectively. 🎧 It’s about *learning in a way that works for you*, not replacing the personal touch of traditional podcasts. 🧠💡

Mandated wiretap interfaces and cryptographic backdoors are *expensive*, both in terms of money and, more importantly, exposure to risk. Worse, those burdens are borne inequitably.
Overall, almost no one is the subject of a lawful wiretap, even in places where wiretapping is an important investigative tool. Most people aren't suspects. But these mandates degrade security (and impose other costs) for *everyone*, the vast majority of whom will never be wiretapped.
Qué terible brutalidad, y qué sentimiento pone esta chica... bueno, ya abuela supongo. Hasta se le quiebra la voz cuando lo cuenta.
Mozilla's CEO doubles down on them being an advertising company now.
tl;dr: "LOL get fucked"
They've decided who their customers are, and it's not you, it's people who build and invest in surveillance advertising networks. But in a "respectful" way....
