Congratulations to our member Natalie for winning our LibreOffice Impress Template-a-Thon! Thank you to @dff for helping organize the Document Freedom Day events across the globe, and thank you @libreoffice for providing OSC with prize material! The swag was more than worth the international-shipping wait. 🤩

Natalie has chosen only to display the back of the sweater on social media, but we can assure you that the front is just as fire. 😎

Surely nothing will go wrong with this... nothing dystopian or privacy harming about this at all.

Hold on. Here's a new internet-draft that is supposed to *supersede* the pending not yet published HTTP cookie spec update, the 6265bis document.

I have not yet quite figured out the differences. The trend of "programmatic" descriptions of syntax continues in here, and it makes me sad.

#Synology upcoming Plus Series #NAS #storage #systems will restrict full functionality to users who install the company's self-branded hard drives. While third-party drives will still work for basic storage, critical features including drive health monitoring, volume-wide deduplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic firmware updates will be disabled tomshardware.com/pc-components…

Aleca reshared this.

So, yet again my small high street cookshop in a rural English town has paid more tax than Starbucks entire UK operation.

Cynically, Starbucks is more than profitable enough to pay £40m of royalties to its US parent company, thereby incuring a loss of £35m.

Global revenue for 2024 was $36billion.

As a Green Party district councillor it makes my blood boil.

New from 404 Media: we've obtained a leak from inside Palantir describing Palantir's plan to help ICE find people to deport. Includes peoples' location. Palantir is expecting a backlash, preparing comments for employees to tell their family. Says ICE "mature partner"

No jo, někdy se to tak povede. Děkuji 👍👍
Fakt to bylo super světlo, vstával jsem přes pátou a chtěl jet úplně jinam, ale pak viděl tu mlhu v ďolíku a šel se tam podívat. Kůň už byl jen bonus 😃
To tam na mě ještě hulákal majitel koně.

Wow, yet another amazing book by Emma Donoghue, this time set on the express train in the 1896 France. I always wait until the author's note section, because with Emma you always learn something new connected with the plot and the heroes in it. Anyway, read for yourself! :)

At this current stage, this literally is just the code for the mastodon client.

Hey @chikim and anyone else interested in LLM'ing. My co-worker has written this little fun CLI game where you can try to accurately, or inaccurately, predict Gemma3's predictions from a pool of tokens. You give it a phrase, or pick a default one, and then pick from a multi-choice answer the best possible outcome to continue the sentence.

Can you believe it? I have 14 voices now on Jammable. jammable.com/@TomiG
The lowest-paid account gives you 30 credits.
Mac OS Fred, Quiplash Schmitty, DecTalk 4.3 Paul, Keynote Gold, Speak & Spell, Mac Alex, Eloquence Reed, Apple Echo II synthesizer, Orpheus TTS (US english, speech only), Amstrad Speech Synthesizer, Centigram TrueVoice TTS, Soft Voice TTS , Monologue TTS, Votrax_SSI263_v2. Whew. As always another shoutout to @rommix0 for helping source some of the more recent voice data for these older speech synthesizers in particular.
Think only the Quiplash voice would be questionable there as it is a person's voice, but then there's this weird gray area with gaming-specific voices, and someone may genuinely use it to say, create a modded Jackbox party pack for their community, rather than to blackmail the people behind those voices. But you never know, so that could get taken down if I'm asked, or find out that voice usage spikes quickly for the wrong reason.
