Answer: “zero trust”

Question: “how much confidence do you have in people sticking crap straight on the internet and hoping that access controls work effectively?”

I don't like that people don't mask, but I find it so disrespectful when I see pictures with unmasked people surrounding a masked person.

Like... come on.

in reply to Hubert Figuière

@hub This is someone who's "careful about Covid" (the unmasked) with someone who always posts pictures where they are masked.
in reply to Stéphanie Pageau

I know a lot of people "careful about covid" that never mask because "they have the vaccine". And then caught it more than once.

En el tema de x, bluesky y el fedi me parece interesante el concepto antropológico de cismogénesis. Se trata del mecanismo por el que una comunidad se divide, estableciendo diferencias en la conducta o el sistema de valores para constituir su identidad como distinta de otros grupos. Es algo que se ve claramente en ciertas reacciones de polarización política. El ministro de Consumo dice que hay que reducir el consumo de carne y de repente a la derecha le encanta la carne, no como un valor espontáneo sino como una forma de marcar su diferencia.

Twitter y el fedi tuvieron un proceso de cismogénesis hace mucho tiempo, mucho antes de que Musk lo comprase. La identidad del fedi se fundó sobre valores diamétricamente opuestos al Twitter de entonces: centralizado, normativo, viral y liberal. Frente a esto el fedi se constituye como una contracultura de la descentralización, las relaciones a escala humana evitando la viralidad y la influencia de los famosos, y con tintes comunistas o anarquistas.

La cismogénesis entre X y bluesky surgen de un cambio significativo en la identidad y la valencia que para muchos tenía X y la ruptura tras la compra de Musk. La huida a bluesky se plantea no como una ruptura, como el fedi, buscando una identidad distinta y, desdes sus propias coordenadas, progresista; sino como un acto de nostalgia, o recuperación de un pasado mejor. La identidad que bluesky se está creando es la de ser el Twitter de antes de Musk, como negación de X.

Por eso hay una inevitable fricción entre bluesky y el fedi: tenemos un autoconcepto distinto y un sistema de valores que surge de procesos casi opuestos. El fedi es decir, "Twitter es malo, quiero construir algo mejor, ingobernable, fuera de la lógica del mercado, y a escala humana." El bluesky es decir, "X es malo, pero el Twitter de antes era bueno. Quiero volver a lo que había, con anuncios, periodistas, famosos, políticos, y algoritmos, pero sin la deriva facha de X."

Inevitablemente estas dos posturas no concuerdan, y creo que por eso hay una fricción entre ambas comunidades, que también sufren su propia cismogénesis (por ejemplo en el modo en que en el fedi se refuerza el valor de consentimiento por opción para todo, descentralización, o ausencia de publicidad y vigilancia, como diferencia con bluesky).

Los valores que se adquieren por cismogénesis pueden no ser espontáneos, pero no son menos reales una vez que se asumen socialmente. En buena medida una comunidad tiende a converger con las historias que cuenta y se cree sobre si misma, y esto hace sugerir que, a corto plazo, el ambiente en el fedi y bluesky continuarán divergiendo.

Hoy hubo debate sobre educación integrada y me lo perdí casi todo. En fin, nada que no haya dicho en otras ocasiones. La educación integrada es un derecho, así se deduce claramente entre otros de la convención de los derechos de las personas con discapacidad, y aunque no digo que no haya casos en los que la educación específica no pueda tener su lugar, tiene que estar suficientemente justificada.

I did it, it's out!

This is a labour of love and fighting against my own self deprecation.
I've been told my whole life that I was tone deaf and a terrible singer.
I had to push myself real hard to start getting singing lessons at 39 years old, and publishing this song, knowing that it's not perfect.
I still hate the sound of my voice, and I know that I can do better, but I needed to let this go and move forward.

Mate, if *this* is something you had to push yourself to publish, I can't wait to hear what you'll put out when you've improved to a point you feel comfortable with. It's really good. Congrats, and I'm proud of you for putting in the work, effort and self-care to get to this stage.


Here's an idea for those #fedi evangelists that want more people to show up: maybe don't hate on them for being where they are now?
I see so much nastiness being flung about on my timeline about #blueSky being run by billionaire bastards/dicks/every insult in the book, that they support fascism, that they are turning a good product bad. You realize that for most people they just want a place to share cat pics and keep track of book releases, right? Like... do I need to explain that for the majority a social media is just a social media, nd they couldn't care less WHO runs it as long as the people they care about are on it? Sure, ideology is important but good god, looking from the outside in the fediverse really looks like a bunch of salty geeks arguing over semantics sometimes and that's a shame because it CAN be great. Maybe just a little more happy and a little less judgy. Can we do that?

I get it. People are angry about politics, billionaires fucking up the world, institutional racism/ablism/what have you, but I think that point has been made loud and clear and, dare I say it? Yes I do. If we keep on like this, the only difference between some convos here and on X is the topics of conversation. Instead of women's rights being derited, it's people using Windows, anyone who even dares to mention AI in a good light gets firmly put in their place and instead of teaching about alt text we jump down people's throats for not just knowing about it already. Dunno about anybody else but I wouldn't call that "social". I call that elitist bullshit that needs to stop. If we want to be welcoming to new people, that means being welcoming to these people's viewpoints, and that means we're not always going to agree with everyone and that's OK. Maybe I'm just in the wrong circles, but I keep seeing gatekeepers wondering why we're not seeing mroe new people and it honestly makes me laugh

I think a great case and point example of this is that I feel the need to write this follow-up. Yes. I realize my privilege is showing by posting this. Yes, I realize that even though I am #disabled, I'm also white, male and from a generally affluent country and therefore probably have a lot fewer reasons to be unhappy/angry/tired/out of spoons. I get all that. And I'm absolutely not trying to police anyone's tone or content, I'm expressing a viewpoint that people may or may not share, I'm putting that out there for others to interact with, and I'm not all that interested in being proven wrong/being set straight/being taught that my viewpoint is bad. It's my viewpoint, it gets to exist, if you don't like it, you don't have to agree with it, heck block or unfollow if you want, I just happen to believe there might be some truth to WHY this is why people don't actually feel all that welcome here at times. I could imagine why in any case

I have a joke about power outages but it's too dark


Trying to figure out the marketing speak of things like "WD Elements" or "WD Passport" external USB hard drives.

Are they just hard drive I can reformat as I wish or is there some trick with the garbage software they ship with it. Strangely the "PC" version is cheaper than the "Mac" version. (I don't care either way, so less money is good)

I don't want to have to go through the return hassle if I get one.

in reply to Hubert Figuière

So I have a bunch and there's all just straight up external disks.

There may be a difference in quality - speed, endurance, what have you.

It usually comes with software for backups but AFAIK there's nothing OS specific. Our designer at work used a non-Mac one for years.

in reply to alpha1beta

@alpha1beta ok, that's what I wondering. cool.

yes I expect varying level of internal hard drive "quality" I have already a bunch of LaCie and WD accumulated over the years

in reply to Hubert Figuière

Haven't had a WD fail on me yet. Got 21 spinning now, oldest from around 2018

However, rarely have I had a seagate not fail one me. Never had a LaCie - any good?

in reply to alpha1beta

@alpha1beta they are seagate drives. I might have one fail and I swapped out the drive. Some are old enough to be USB 2.0
in reply to Hubert Figuière

Oof. Sticking to WD then. I got .25PB at home at this point, all WD drives.

Funny enough, for SSDs and SD cards, its Sandisk I run from. WD Blacks have been wood, but Sandisk SD cards suck - I buy almost exclusively Samsung.

in reply to Hubert Figuière

Elements used to be the plug in 3.5" drives but now there's a portable...not sure what's the diff. My Collection is mostly Type-C Passports which come with a C-C cable and detachable C to A adapter.

At a quick glance, Passports seem to have a longer warranty and higher speed.

WD Black is basically a passport in a tough case with the old MicroB connector (I have 2 of these)

Simple answer: Get a windows Passport Type C

I really, really can’t say enough positive things about server-side Swift. I literally had no backend experience before this year, but I decided to write the entire backend for AltStore PAL in Swift and after some initial hiccups (*cough* URLSession *cough*) it’s been remarkably smooth sailing. Plus I can still use Xcode to develop everything & cross-compile for Linux!

If you’ve been wanting to experiment with server-side Swift, there’s really no better time to start swift.org/documentation/server…

Every time I have to deal with the libatspi C API, I want to bang my head repeatedly against the desk. The Python bindings around it moved from a "we're writing static bindings so might as well make them more idiomatic" to a big "let's fix the C API" layer, but nobody is fixing the C API because that would require breaking backward compatibility.

I'm not even going to touch the fact that it took more than 10 years to get the RPC interfaces to match the implementation…

These #InternationalStudents Wanted #Citizenship. #Canada Killed That Dream.

As Canada tries to staunch an overflow of temporary #immigration, tens of thousands of international students and recent grads may be forced to leave the country. Here are their stories.

macleans.ca/society/these-inte…

#CDNpoli

in reply to Ms. Que Banh

"For example, I’m developing a device for newborn care that monitors infants’ body temperature, skin colour, eye colour, weight and heart rate, among other factors, to track their health, particularly during those critical first few weeks of life. It could save lives. Think of how many other students have ideas and skills we can’t even imagine yet.

That’s why it’s so disheartening to hear some Canadians talk about international students like we’re parasites. I pay about $12,000 per semester in tuition—far more than Quebec residents do. I have a campus job as a kitchen supervisor to cover my expenses, and I live in a small two-bedroom apartment with a roommate. People like me are not responsible for Canada’s problems. But we can help solve them, contributing to the country’s cultural diversity, its economy, its innovation and its growth. And by bridging gaps between nations, we help build a more inclusive society for everyone."

Why does this silly homework system insist on having at least one question a week like this?
is there a visual thing to learn, as a teen here, that actually writing "2.146". wouldn't provide?
It bothered me as a kid myself having to 'feel' analogue clocks, but I don't see interpreting the number in this way is any different to reading it from a screen in the first place?


So, stupid question. Does anyone know where the heck the Startup folder is in Windows 10? I can't remember.

exercise
I used to think that push-ups with handles for max extension, and with a heavy backpack, were peak upper-body but renegade rows trade some chest engagement for heavy lat engagement. and oh boy do they hit hard. In fairness, I’m newer to lat workouts so they’re probably a bigger bottleneck. i do both but i’m wondering which Fedi prefers.

re: exercise

I used to do a pull-push split but now I usually do two splits. My primary split is an upper- and lower-body split. I split arm and torso/back concentration on alternate upper-body days.

on leg day, I can only do 7 or so sufficiently hard exercises with the limited equipment I have so I don’t bother splitting.

So it’s three sets of exercises. Every upper-body day mixes pulling and pushing but every muscle group only hits 100% once every 3-4 days.

re: exercise

@gekitsu The reason I do this is partly because I don’t really have equipment to do a lot of push-based exercises. Our bed isn’t heavy; if I face away from my bed when I do a push exercise with resistance bands, I tend to drag the bed. No bench makes it hard to do presses with full motion.

Trying different variations of push-ups (elbows in/out, narrow/wide) seems my best bet for pushing right now (but I’m open to ideas!)
