««Hay una cosa muy evidente, y es que la evaluación de la gestión de la catástrofe generada por la DANA la hacen quienes la padecen, y estos han dictaminado que hay deficiencias graves cuando a una semana semana de la lluvia aun hay basura sin retirar que puede ser foco de infecciones, hay posiblemente cadáveres en los garajes, o hay falta de alimentos y suministros básicos que no llegan a la población más vulnerable.».

@BorrisInABox Given that Pi Coin is worth a fluctuating amount of USd, last I checked around 39/coin, I'd say it might well be. I never got into Bitcoin when I should have, stupid to do that. With this even if it went nowhere, pressing a button on a screen once every day doesn't hurt. I've amassed quite a collection doing that, as I think I've missed less than a week in all those years.

Buttons are superior to touch interfaces in almost all places.

Our previous gas stove and oven had buttons and dials and it was clear, easy & quick to operate.

Our new induction stove and oven uses touch. Everything takes easily three times as long.

Bueno gente, pues junto a mi hermana he creado una web de ayuda (principalmente, dar información y servir de punto de encuentro digital) para los damnificados por la #DANA, focalizada en #Paiporta (que es donde vive ella), pero con un enfoque que tal vez le pueda resultar útil también a gente de otras zonas afectadas. Si podéis difundir, se agradece:
paiporta.illustietor.com/

Paiporta entre todos - Plataforma autogestionada para informar sobre el estado de Paiporta tras la catástrofe de la DANA de 2024.

Desde Paiporta creamos esta plataforma para informar del estado de nuestros vecindarios, visibilizar nuestras necesidades y echarnos una mano en lo que podamos.

#Dnf this #Fanfiction. The opening chapter was enough to tell me that the Harry Potter mentioned in the summary holds very little relation to the Harry I might enjoy reading about.

After the war Harry Potter's world falls apart. Then he is offered a chance to try and make a better future for himself and his friends. Of course things are never simple.

If you are a person anywhere on the autism spectrum, you may experience "Justice Sensitivity" and if you're like me, you may find it difficult to understand how so many people don't and how this could possibly be the norm.

@tardis I haven't experienced that so much, but sometimes when I am mentally tired or sleep deprived, certainly. I suspect I'm sort of just barely on the spectrum though, and my experiences are not representative of the vast sea of possibilities with neurodivergence.

The upside, of course, is being able to focus on incredibly complex, difficult problems that scare other people away. We're wired up differently, not wrongly.

Este sábado se cumplieron 30 años del cocido en el que se plantó la idea del movimiento cultural gallego conocido como bravú.

Así que para mi #MusicMonday de este lunes haré un especial dedicado a la música con la que los gallegos crecimos en nuestra infancia y adolesciencia durante los 90.

Empezando, cómo no podía ser de otra forma, con la Oda ó futbolín de Os diplomáticos de Monte-Alto: youtu.be/G_2s-RFtEv4

zastanawiałam się, czy wrzucać dodatkowo u siebie, jako osobnego toota, skoro już krąży po sieci, temat kontrowersyjny, a ja cierpię na chroniczny niedobór doby ;)

ale w sumie mogę zapuścić linka i dodatkowo otagować:

@avolha Z czasów licealnych / pandemicznych, to Polskie szkoły były tak niedofinansowane, że w praktyce kończyły uzależnione od Discorda, bo to było jedyne darmowe i sensowne na tą skalę rozwiązanie. to był dopiero prywatnościowy problem, zwłaszcza przy domyślnych ustawieniach i udostępnianiu kadrze informacji, kto, w co i kiedy gra.

Could daylight saving time ever be permanent? Where it stands in the states
"...We've had daylight saving time for longer than eight months at a time before, and it wasn't a big hit.
From February 1942 until September 1945, the U.S. took on what became known as "War Time," when Congress voted to make daylight saving time year-round during the war in an effort to conserve fuel. " "...Sunrises that could be as late as 9:30 a.m. "

Could daylight saving time ever be permanent? Where it stands in the states

Americans really don't like changing their clocks twice a year. But should daylight saving time become permanent? Many states say yes.

The surprisingly deep reason why teens are calling everyone “chat.” "...The term, originally used in contexts like “chat, this real?” to “chat, am I cooked?” stems from the world of Twitch and Discord, as streamers ask their audience for clarification, support, and answers where viewers can communicate with the streamer through text. But now, it’s become adopted as IRL slang, used in any context, for any reason" slate.com/technology/2024/11/c…

It’s Teens’ New Favorite Word. It’s Everywhere. Maybe You Should Start Using It Too.

Teens are taking slang from the screen to the schoolyard. It’s reshaping the way that they connect with each other and the world.

I had no idea that North Carolina allows spouses to share a voting booth. Both must consent to that, but of course an abused (or otherwise scared or intimidated) spouse isn't going to complain.

As OpenAI and Meta introduce LLM-driven searchbots, I'd like to once again remind people that neither LLMs nor chatbots are good technology for information access.

A thread, with links:

Chirag Shah and I wrote about this in two academic papers:
2022: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3498366…
2024: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3649468

We also have an op-ed from Dec 2022:

All-knowing machines are a fantasy | Emily M. Bender and Chriag Shah

The idea of an all-knowing computer program comes from science fiction and should stay there. Despite the seductive fluency of ChatGPT and other language models, they remain unsuitable as sources of knowledge.
