While I agree, it's becoming pretty clear to me that the Dems don't have any kind of plan, and the GOP will not do anything to stop him. I hope I'm wrong, I really want this to be over quickly, but honestly I don't know how we're gonna make that happen. Please tell me I'm overreacting, I really hope I am.
One of the worst things about being a Linux user is that you have to deal with Linux users from time to time. Like the time an extension author had to quit due to being shit on by users.

I am not a contributor on Wikipedia yet, but if someone finds the time, Crimea has been removed from Ukraine's oblasts in the table here, which I find completely nuts.
Is the Kremlin actively trying to erase Ukrainian history one Wikipedia edit at a time?

As my long-running readers are probably aware, I schedule a _lot_ of posts in advance. I use @bufferapp for this, and I am largely satisfied with this, except for one thing:
They have a fixed character limit of 500 for posts, and thus I cannot make use of the full 10,000 characters of my instance.
This is bad, since most of my scheduled posts are German folk tales exceeding this character limit, and thus I am forced to use screenshots instead of plain texts - which is terrible from an #accessibility point of view (yes, there are readers that can identify the text, but I'd rather use plain text in the first place). So I am looking for alternatives. Here are my requirements:
- It must have a web interface I can use on my desktop PC - I grew up with proper screens and keyboards, and while I _can_ use a smart phone or tablet for complex stuff, I do not find the experience enjoyable. - It must have a calendar view instead of being a simple, scrollable list - I often schedule posts weeks in advance, and I want to be able to keep track of what is scheduled. - It must make full use of the character limits of each instance. - It must allow for scheduling threads - quite a few of the tales I am posting exceed the 10,000 character limit. - It must work with #Mastodon . While I am aware that other #Fediverse systems (such as #Friendica ) have scheduling options of their own, switching to an entirely different system is a drastic step that I only want to explore when all other options have been exhausted.
Trailing dots on host names in URLs is the gift that keeps on giving. Let me take you through a dwindling story of how the dot is handled differently in different places through the stack of an Internet client. The evil trailing dot.
why not resolve the host to a FQDN and then use the cleaned up name subsequently (with never a dot). Someone having example.com. vs example.com hostnames is like asking for trouble anyway. in contrary to www vs www.exaple.com when local domain is set as example.com
the dot carries a real meaning in respect to dns resolving but not in respect to TLS . My view is that a http header host: line should not carry literaly what you passed on the url but the host you end up connecting (hence the result of dns resolving). Then all the other cases fall flat
@XYenon of course you can as the Host: http header distinguishes it. But my point of view is that the http Host: header must be a fully qualified domain name and not a short name like www or anything ending with a dot. But i would have to reread the RFC to the letter. In any case i would at least call it an edge case
@XYenon this raises the question to if exaple.com and example.com. are considered the same hostname. How do browsers handle this? how about capitalization, encoding etc?
and from the non-tech side of things โ writing a URL in a blog post at the end of a sentence โ did whoever copy-and-pasted that URL include the trailing (grammatical) period?
From a DNS resolver point of view, only with trailing dot is guaranteed to work. Without a trailing dot, google.com might resolve to google.com.example.com.

Curious if you have an opinion on models and how open and reproducible they are especially their training corpus licensing situation.
There's a difference between using a commercially hosted LLM service that's not open, reproducible, and has low key shady training corpus vs something like allenai.org/olmo
Does that play a role in how you see AI contributions?
I want to remain ignorant of that and push back the responsibility to the author who submits the code to us. The onus is on them to make sure the code they contribute is legit, owned and licensed correctly for them to be allowed to contribute it as-is.
@djh I have no idea. People say AI will get better. Perhaps it will. And then I presume it might get better in all or any areas it is used. We'll just have to see what comes.
@djh How can it not happen? If someone submits code they don't own it will be reverted. If someone commits code that doesn't work correctly it will be rejected.
Public software projects have been doing this for almost 50 years; why would that change? More importantly, what could it change into?
@lyda What I'm talking about is developers using AI trained on copyrighted (or otherwise questionable) training data to help them develop or generate some code.
I understand this will most likely be hard to detect that's why my question was if we should have an opinion on this or at least set expectations accordingly in this document.
@djh @lyda that's why the phrasing: "Authors should be explicitly aware that the burden is on them to ensure no unlicensed code is submitted to the project." etc
Otherwise, head over to the orcwg.org FAQ to contribute/ask or wait for the @EUCommission to publish their guidance, which Iโll surely post about once it is published.

Nicknamed the Grand #Canyon of the Ardennes (fear not, it is much, much smaller!) the #fondrydeschiens is a natural formed sinkhole in #Nismes, #Belgium on the border with France.
It is a little marvel of #nature and well worth a detour. Late spring and summer you will find lots of orchids in the pastures nearby. The place is protected as a natural reserve.
If you decide to go there, try to avoid the weekends and holidays since it tends to get crowded.
