@tardis I wanted to get media storage off the local disks across both instances. Its bad for the SSD, and I'd rather break Linode's, because they have millions to replace it, LOL.

That, didn't work that well, it sees it as an attachment here. You broke it! Nooo!
in reply to Мира🇧🇬🇭🇺

It plays it, but I have to open the link to play it. Like how Go to social did things before they implemented their player, which now makes it work with web clients.
in reply to Adam MacLeod

I am pretty sure, though. When gts didn't have a player, all the media attachments people posted via masto were seen as links. You should've seen the mess. Somehow, though, not a lot of attachments. LOL
in reply to Adam MacLeod

Noooo, that's pretty though. I mean, it works, but not like masto stuff works. :D

wow, I didn't know that curl can subscribe on and publish on #mqtt topics. That's awesome as I feel the mqtt client is somewhat awkward to use and a lot of mqtt browsers suck.
Thanks!

I looked at the first ten minutes of the GitHub Universe intro yday and the frequency of AI getting mentioned exhausted my ears immediately and I had to shut down the stream and go do something useful. For health reasons.
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

I'm immediately turned off by any product that hypes stupid Ai. Partially because I know there is no actual Ai involved and partially because all this Ai fluff being excessively mentioned is annoying.
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

there is a little bit of actual good stuff being announced too, but it's all being pushed to the margins.

(Best moment, in the Community Maintainers track: "...and now there is AI in pull requests." (dead silence) (from the back: "yeah we noticed.") *presenter grimaces*)



Both questions are equally valid.

fair enough.
I thought there was some kind of commentary in code with some keywords like "superseded by" or similar ones, so you could count them.

several things that are deprecated and thus have code we *could* shave off if we would bump the SONAME still share code with the new implementation as well

Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.

Hoy iba a hacer un chiste algo gilipollas con el tema de que por una vez es aquí en Galicia donde no llueve, hasta que me di cuenta de lo serio que es el asunto. Ánimo a quien le haya tocado cerca. Un abrazo.

Y aunque por aquí seguramente no haya mucho de eso, la emergencia climática se hace cada vez más evidente y su negación más absurda. Lo que nos queda por venir...

@Matthias Genau das gleiche Problem, wie seit Jahren bei Golem.de. auch bei denen steht nix vernünftiges in den Metatags eines Artikels.

Why they’re a dying company: More than a quarter of new code at Google is generated by AI / AI is hugely important to Google’s products, & it sounds like the company relies on it internally, too.

Every time I come to www.amazon.com I see the following message: "With Amazon Business, you would have saved $120.82 in the last year.

What is "Amoc" and why is it so important?
_________________________________________

The dangers of a collapse of the main Atlantic Ocean circulation, known as Amoc, have been “greatly underestimated” and would have devastating and irreversible impacts, according to an open letter released by 44 experts from 15 countries.

There are indications that Amoc has been slowing down for the last 60 or 70 years due to global heating. The most ominous sign is the cold blob over the northern Atlantic. The region is the only place in the world that has cooled in the past 20 years or so, while everywhere else on the planet has warmed – a sign of reduced heat transport into that region, exactly what climate computer models have predicted in response to Amoc slowing as a result of greenhouse gas emissions.

Another indicator is a reduction in the salt content of seawater. In the cold blob region, salinity is at its lowest level since measurements began 120 years ago. This is probably linked to Amoc slowing down and bringing less salty water and heat from the subtropics.

It is an amplifying feedback: as Amoc gets weaker, the oceans gets less salty, and as the oceans gets less salty, then Amoc gets weaker. At a certain point this becomes a vicious cycle which continues by itself until Amoc has died, even if we stop pushing the system with further emissions.

The big unknown here – the billion-dollar question – is how far away this tipping point is. It is very difficult to answer because the process is non-linear and would be triggered by subtle differences in salinity, which in turn depend on amounts of rainfall and cloud cover over the ocean as well as Greenland melting rates. These are hard to model accurately in computers so there is a big uncertainty relating to when the tipping point will be reached.

People on the EN #Wikipedia keep editing the ill-fated communist leader Musso's name to be "Munawar Musso" or "Musso Munawar". (It's currently the latter.)

In any old newspapers from the 1920s-50s he was only ever Musso. The oldest appearance I can find online of "Munawar Musso" is from the World Marxist Review in English in the 1970s. In recent English and Indonesian books (2010s-2020s) he seems to be now referred to regularly as Munawar Musso.🤔

Today is the 50th anniversary of women gaining the right to have mortgages, business loans and credit cards in their own names.

I am 47 years old. My mom did not have access to her own credit card without her husband or father's approval. People like to think that this stuff happened in the ancient past. It didn't. People you know were directly affected by anti-women systemic oppression.

Hey fediverse, I'd like to become more active in something that is more meaningful than building webshops. Since I'm quite good with #computers I'm looking for stuff that combines #computing with #sustainability or #ecology, #restoration etc.

But I don't know what's out there and am not sure what exactly to look for, so I'm hoping for some fediverse magic.

Anything you have, articles, projects, etc. Would be cool if you boosted for reach.

If you're a subscriber to the NLS BARD service and have an interest in learning more about the #Catholic Mass, the following book was recently released in audio format.

The lamb's supper: the mass as heaven on Earth
DB124296
Hahn, Scott. Reading time: 4 hours, 32 minutes.
Read by Scott Hahn.

Religion

"Bestselling author Scott Hahn sheds new light on the Mass, offering readers a deeper appreciation of the most familiar of Catholic rituals . Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "Heaven on Earth," explaining that what "we celebrate on Earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy." The Lamb's Supper reveals a long-lost secret of the Church: The early Christians' key to understanding the mysteries of the Mass was the New Testament Book of Revelation. With its bizarre imagery, its mystic visions of heaven, and its end-of-time prophecies, Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist. Beautifully written, in clear direct language, bestselling Catholic author Scott Hahn's new book will help readers see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully, enthusiastically, intelligently, and powerfully than ever before."--Amazon.com Unrated. Commercial audiobook.

I’m thrilled to see this book being made available on BARD.
It’s a great book. It will really deepen your appreciation for the Mass.



I would like help. Does anyone know R, and would they be willing to sit down with me for 30 minutes to just show me how this thing works better.

I do not understand Jupyter Lab/Notebook/Project/planet at all. I feel so much empathy for people who didn't understand OSC/OCF/OCI/OC now.



I know it’s supposed to be the time of new seasons and new comment, but I was thinking about my mom today and felt the need to retell a story lost with Twitter. This is the story of how I was nearly raised in a gas station. /1

The same spices are used in a pork stew, but nobody has the courage to call them pork spice lattes.


Quebec music store owners say new language law will hurt business
