Ukraine's Massive Drone Attack Was Powered by Open Source Software

Ukraine used ArduPilot to help it wipe out Russian targets. It wasn’t the first time and it won’t be the last.

The note to make on this post is the domain. Fly is an hosting company so if “AI lets us go faster” and “AI makes bad code but we’re slowing down to make it usable” (paraphrased) is their self-contradictory policy, that puts a question mark on hosting with them

fly.io/blog/youre-all-nuts/

Also, going “many of you will lose your jobs but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make” is almost admirable as a douchebag move, but it’s also the norm in tech. There is no class solidarity to speak of in tech.

Also, I don't think all automation is equally bad. I've spent most of my career working on assistive technology for blind people. It's true that before personal computers, OCR, and ebooks, some people could get paid to read text aloud or transcribe it to Braille. But, on the whole, I think it's a good thing that those jobs are obsolete, because probably most blind people didn't have access to readers or transcribers. I guess it's possible my reasoning is self-serving though.

How many gigabytes are in a terabyte? 🧐 Whether you're managing email storage or upgrading your device, understanding digital storage is essential.

In our latest blog post we make understanding storage easy 👉 tuta.com/blog/how-many-gigabyt…

Storage Memory: How many gigabytes are in a terabyte? 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 kilobyte (KB) = 1,000 bytes, 1 megabyte (MB) = 1,000 kilobytes (KB), 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1,000 megabytes (MB), 1 terabyte (TB) = 1,000 gigabytes (GB). Using the decimal system.

How many gigabytes are in a terabyte? Easy guide to storage capacity. | Tuta

TB, GB, MB, KB or Terabytes, Gigabytes, Megabytes, Kilobytes... they all sound similar and are often confused.

Yesterday the "Reflection" project started officially as part of the new @PrototypeFund round! 🌟🌈

The team consists of @p2panda and people from the GNOME gang around @tbernard and @jsparber.

We gonna release "Reflection" (formerly Aardvark) - a GTK-based, collaborative, local-first text editor! Aaaand:

All of this is part of a larger effort to explore p2p code, UX patterns, reusable UI components, debugging tools, organize events and document our learnings.

Good morning, Great People of #AudioMO.

I did promise you poetry so, for my day 3, have a reading. I'm not a big fan of my own voice, so sorry about that. But it's one of my favourites.
Again, not a studio quality recording or anything: just me and a headset and a Braille printout (can you call Braille a printout?) in my home office.

It's June, so I've got my Javastation off the shelf for the first time in a couple of decades. This is a Javastation Krups, with 100MHz sparc, sold as a diskless workstation. I never realised it had a PPP ROM boot in! Anyway, I should get on and set up networking and a boot server.
(Note: the plastic on the clips on the doors is fragile, 2 just pinged off on me)

A screenshot of the 'JavaOS PPP dialer' - it's got a Motif style widgetry, a Sun purpley theme, a Java logo in the corner and some options and progress bar.
The side of a JavaStation Krups, it's shape is ...odd. Quite smooth, ovalish in cross section, on the side is a Java logo, and there's another on the top, It's mostly grey with two wings at the back in Purple and some cooling vents inbetween.
The back of a Sun Javastation Krups with it's doors open, showing the audio jacks, Mini DINs for power, mouse and keyboard, LAN and VGA.
A screenshot, showing a Java logo in the corner, 'JavaStation' in big at the top and an icon that looks like a SIMM, probably indicating ROM boot.

Dneska jsem se dozvěděl, že na #Multisport kartu můžete mít každý den 2 jízdy po 60 minutách na #Rekola a ani vám to nevezme denní vstup do fitka/sauny/...
To je moc pěkné!

Quick suggestion. Could you kindly add a dropdown next to the [New Message] button, and when clicking the down arrow, it shows a new [Plain-text Message] menu entry?

This provides a visual hint which could really improve its accessibility. I really doubt if there is anybody can know there is a plain-text compose mode by shift+click the [+ New Message] button without consulting documentation.

Over $90,000 worth of RTX 5090 GPUs have been replaced in-box by crossbody backpacks at just one Silicon Valley Micro Center

Micro Center says it could be an issue at source in China, which means there could be far more than 32 cases of missing GPUs.
