I'm sure Apple having research showing "lol AIs don't know shit" and them dropping out of the OpenAI investment round are 100% unrelated


One thing that I was trying to describe to the 15-year-old is that, when I was in college, google worked *so well* to find basically exactly what you were searching for that there was a site called "Let Me Google That For You" where you could snarkily send someone their question back and they'd see it animate the process of typing their question into google, then get the search results and bam, there's the answer to their question

I would *never* consider doing that now because almost never is the first hit the actual thing you want (and, honestly, it's getting rarer that it's top 10)



One of the strongest arguments for right-to-repair (that no one wants to make) is that as the supply chain collapses, maintaining all the technology in our possession becomes exponentially more important. Parts must be interchangeable, accessible, and open for this to really work at all.

Hiya, another day, another #GoToSocial release candidate:

github.com/superseriousbusines…

We fixed a couple small bugs around interaction accepts and rejects :)

Please read the release notes carefully, especially if updating to this release candidate from v0.16.0 or below! There are migrations!

If you're using SQLite on OpenBSD or FreeBSD, please take the release version with moderncsqlite in the name, as described in the release notes.

Thanks for reading and helping us find bugs! We're getting there 🙂

in reply to GoToSocial

Big big thank you to folks who tested this on FreeBSD and OpenBSD and helped us to potentially track down a memory bug. Hopefully switching DB drivers for those operating systems helps :)
in reply to GoToSocial

If you are on #OpenBSD or #FreeBSD and you're still seeing issues with extravagant memory use on this release candidate, please let us know :) Initial reports seem to indicate that the issue is resolved but we'd like to know for real before we call it fixed and move on to cutting 0.17.0 proper. Thanks!



Another prediction that isn't really that hard to make: the hype around Big AI will fade (this is already happening, IMHO). This will mean that not that many Nvidia chips are needed. This will lead to what always comes at the end of a hype: patent wars. There will be claims and counterclaims on who has patented certain obscure technical stuff first. Seeing how Apple just doggedly keeps on adding more "neural" chips on their processors, I can make an educated guess on where this war will start.

Kritik an Israel - Amnesty: „Humanitäres Völkerrecht wird nicht eingehalten“

Amnesty International kritisiert eine „einseitige Parteinahme“ der Bundesregierung mit Israel und fordert auf, Waffenlieferungen zu stoppen.#GAZA #Libanon #AMNESTYINTERNATIONAL #ISRAEL



Spielplatz. Zwei große Jungs ärgern und provozieren einen kleineren Jungen. Kommt ein etwas älteres Mädchen (Geschwisterkind?) angerannt und baut sich empört vor den Großen auf.

„Lasst ihn in Ruhe!“
„Verschwinde, wir hauen keine Mädchen!“
„Aber ich haue Jungs!“

Mir erscheint es für einen kurzen Moment, als stehe die Zeit still und in der Stille vermeine ich das freudige Raunen millionenfacher Frauen aus allen Zeiten zu hören.

Die großen Jungs sind dann einfach verschwunden.



"In der aktuell erregt geführten Debatte über die gesellschaftliche Bedrohung durch Besteck redet niemand über Löffel. Es geht nur um die Messer. Da aber ist man quer durch die Parteien mit Verboten schnell bei der Hand. Kann sich jemand eine ähnliche Diskussion über die weitaus größere Gefahr auf Deutschlands Straßen vorstellen, über die Straftäter am Steuer? Sie scheint undenkbar. Und genau das ist das Problem."

Looks good! Does it support Caldav sync from an external online calendar like #nextcloud ?


I really appreciate an honest code comment 😄

Recently I asked about choosing a style sheet for developing a personal Web site that would automate the visual presentation, allowing me, as a nonvisual author, to concentrate on the markup and content.
I've started working on the site, using the "classless" version of this style sheet. github.com/picocss/pico/
I'm using the Hugo static site generator. I'll write more about it when I create a blog for longer-form posts.

Today, @james' @Podnews revealed that @AntennaPod the amazing open-source podcast player, just added transcript support! 🎉

"Version 3.5 of podcast app AntennaPod now displays Podcasting 2.0 transcripts, joining Pocket Casts and Apple Podcasts."

This is a game-changer for accessibility, SEO, discoverability, and the ability to quickly search within an episode.

Huge shout-out to the AntennaPod team, especially Tony Tam, for developing this awesome transcript feature! 🙌

in reply to cedricdes

The menu item is only shown if the podcast you are listening to supports transcripts.
in reply to AntennaPod

@projetslibres_podcast you are the ones who introduced me to Castopod but your podcast doesn't support transcripts?

If you’re looking for a #litrpg that does a good job of balancing fun slice of life with asking difficult thoughtful questions, and is actually complete, give this one a go!

You might also enjoy the prequel called the lonely dungeon. Though it’s not quite as strong; it’s mostly world building for this one.
in reply to Samuel Proulx

oh best get that then I suppose, if it sets things up. I did note there was a bit about that at the beginning.

Just heard someone say chips and fish. I've never felt so irritated, I'll fetch them some vinegar and salt. Or perhaps they want pepper and salt.

Resetting my iPhone to factory defaults has revealed some revelations. Which are the very best things to reveal.
1. The new default volume for VoiceOver in light of the new audio ducking feature is 180%. I guess that makes sense, since the old default was 80%.
2. It appears the new default gesture for Type to Siri is a four-finger flick down. I have been using a four-finger flick up and down to move between links, which I intend to continue doing because I’ll use that a lot more than I’ll type to Siri.
Similarly, I decided I don’t make too much use of the four-finger flick left and right gestures to switch apps. So now, I’ve assigned those to previous and next control. This is really nice when in Safari, because swiping up and down with four fingers moves between links, swiping left and right with four fingers moves to form controls.
I also use two-finger swipes left and right to navigate between headings. It makes my rotor much less cluttered and gives me ready access to functions I use a lot.

WestphalDenn reshared this.

in reply to Jonathan Mosen

that's a very interesting set of gestures. I use next and previous apps a lot, but also use a 2-finger set of flicks for headings.


We are off to Spain in the morning, I don't fly so it is coach, most likely crossing the Channel on one of the P&O Ferries that sacked 800 UK staff, by text all at the same time because Brexit let them do that.

Labour have taken steps to stop other companies doing the same.

But, Labour.

in reply to Merry Christmas

we couldn't afford to fly so did those trips. I used to relish the opportunity for a quiet few hours with a book and free cups of tea. I got beaten up for it at school, too. Never stopped me taking more books, though!

Lets Encrypt will disable OCSP about 6 months after Microsoft Root program allows it to (the browsers have already okayed it).

This all could be over in a year, year and a half. If you need OCSP for your business, you need to investigate alternatives NOW - which are all proprietary.

Apache ACME will handle this change just fine. Stapling will of course no longer be provided to clients.
