RIP Sebastião Salgado.

theguardian.com/global-develop…

A great photographer is one where even when you know how great they are and are familiar with their main body of work, one of their photos can still take your fucking breath away. This one just floored me.

A photo by Sebastião Salgado of a parade of penguins moving across the ice with one diving into the ocean. I am not doing it justice. Sorry.

‘I photographed the world’: the career of Sebastião Salgado – in pictures

The Brazilian photographer has died at 81, leaving behind a career filled with striking images taken around the world.

Announcing: justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

Has anyone who is #blind or using a #screenreader had any experience with the VR-n76 #ham#radio handheld? Is the app #accessible with #voiceover? Can you use most functions through the app (IE, it would be possible to use the radio without seeing its screen)? I'm thinking about one for a summer trip, if only I knew I could use it. www.verotelecom.com/VR-N76-Dual-Band-Handheld-Radio-p2511333.html#hamradio#a11y#amateur#amateurradio

YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users

Riiight.


YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users

Firefox users are reporting an 'artificial' load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it's part of a plan to make people who use adblockers "experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using."

American English wasn't the only option for asserting our independence in the minds of some of the Founding Fathers. They also considered making French, Greek, and other languages the "American" language.

Learn about that and much (much!) more in this week's Grammar Girl interview with Gabe Henry, author of "Enough is Enuf" about simplified spelling.

I stopped using Reddit because the company was feeding my words into a large language model, and I stopped using StackOverflow because the company was feeding my words into a large language model, and I will stop using Discord if the company starts feeding my words into a large language model

theverge.com/apps/673208/disco…

Another involves LLMs. “There’s an incredible opportunity now with large language models and their ability to summarize conversations,” he says. That could help Discord take a long conversation between multiple people — “what is essentially a really poorly structured shareable object,” he says — and boil it down to “something that could be more shareable and then potentially syndicated to the web.”

Discord might use AI to help you catch up on conversations

Discord has become the place for gaming communities on the internet. It just celebrated its 10th anniversary. But as it tries to grow, one of the big challenges it faces is that it isn’t a good replacement for forums.

At the weekend, a group of trans women protested topless at the Scottish Parliament about the recent Supreme Court ruling that the Equality Act defines women as "biological women". The police couldn't arrest them, because to arrest them for showing their breasts would be to define them as women (it's not illegal for men to be topless). And, of course, the right-wing press that reported on it censored their breasts, thereby making their point for them.
8 topless women with black masking tape over their mouths, in front of a building. A police officer is monitoring behind them. The photograph has been censored to obscure breasts and/ or nipples.

Este titular* tiene otra lectura:

Si hoy podemos seguir respirando aire, bebiendo agua y comiendo alimentos es porque países como Uruguay, Indonesia, Nicaragua mantienen una relación con el mundo mucho más responsable que todos los países ricos, y porque les robamos sus recursos naturales.

*El titular: "Si la humanidad consumiera al nivel de España, hoy se acabarían los recursos de la Tierra para todo el año."

Mujer blanca dice: La verdad, nada tiene sentido, los humanos somos un virus para el planeta. Un grupo de personas racializadas dice: eh! no nos metas en el mismo saco Texto: 80% de la biodiversidad se encuentra en territorio indigena. Los pueblos indigenas tienen un papel vital en la proteccion de sus tierras. El 28% del mundo, las zonas con mayor biodiversidad, están gestionadas principalmente por pueblos indigenas, familias minifundistas y comunidades locales. Estos bosques son cruciales para controlar las emisiones contaminantes y mantener la biodiversidad. Tenemos que dejar de usar terminos genericos como "humanos" cuando deberíamos decir "colonizadores" o "capitalistas". Ecofascismo los ecofascistas culpan a la superpoblación del colapso del medio ambiente. "Los humanos somos un virus" es un eslogan usado a menudo por ellos para atraer a la gente ignorante a su ideología. Están equivocados. El 10% más rico de la gente produce la mitad de las emisiones de carbono. Reducir la población no solucionaría el problema. Tenemos un problema con los ricos acaparando los recursos que no necesitan y los pobres resistiendo con lo poco que tienen. Los humanos somos parte de nuestros ecosistemas igual que cualquier otra criatura viviente

CycloneDX cancels their bug-bounty program blaming AI slop:

It's wild how everyone jumped on pre-alpha level of quality Ai models to deliver production level output products thinking it would work because all they care are insane profits and shareholders always jump on it with full force when profits are involved. Until shit starts crashing down and no one will have any god damn clue whats even going on in the generated bullshit code with made up comments/labels on it. I'm a script kiddo level of "coder" and I know none of this can work.
