Just watched an excellent #GUADEC talk by @federicomena !

I've been looking for examples of talks that show code and which are also excellent! I think he's pulled it off brilliantly.

My learnings: I think it's just about taking a huge amount of time to carefully build your slides.

Unexpected: The source code wasn't coloured, but it didn't seem to matter too much.

If anyone has ideas on how to do talks showing code well, lmk!

New: French phone giant Bouygues confirmed a data breach affects the personal information of 6.4 million customers.

Bouygues disclosed the breach on a dedicated web page; however, the page is currently deliberately excluded from search engines using "noindex" code, making it more difficult to find.

"Facebook announced a 5% across-the-board layoff and doubled its executives' bonuses – on the same day. They fired thousands of workers and then hired a single AI researcher for $200m:
(...)
Whatever else all this is, it's a performance. It's a way of demonstrating the efficacy of the product they're hoping your boss will buy and replace you with: Remember when techies were prized beyond all measure, pampered and flattered? AI is SO GOOD at replacing workers that we are dragging these arrogant little shits out by their hoodies and firing them over Interstate 280 with a special, AI-powered trebuchet. Imagine how many of the ungrateful useless eaters who clog up your payroll *you will be able to vaporize when you buy our product!*

Which is why you should always dig closely into announcements about AI-driven tech layoffs. It's true that tech job listings are down 36% since ChatGPT's debut – but that's pretty much true of all job listings:"

Amazon's bid to overturn B.C. labour ruling granting unionization to its workers rejected

I expect Amazon to close the Delta facility. Like they closed in Quebec. It will be part of their strategy and not related to the labour relations they don't want to have.

#Apple created a 24k gold and glass statue for Donald Trump, featuring a unique piece of glass crafted by iPhone glass manufacturer Corning. Tim Cook personally presented it as a gift to Trump.
The piece is a large glass disc with the Apple logo cut into it. Trump’s name is printed on the top, while the bottom bears what appears to be Cook’s signature, along with the inscription “Made in USA” and the year 2025.

Apple made a 24k gold and glass statue for Donald Trump

Apple CEO Tim Cook gave President Donald Trump a “unique” piece of glass from iPhone glass manufacturer Corning that’s set in a 24-karat gold base.

^{Jay Peters (The Verge)}

This is a pretty gross display by Tim Cook. What even is the point of being the head of one of the most influential companies on the planet if you spend even a minute of your time having to perform displays of obeisance like this?

I mean, really -- I have a lot of problems with people amassing the kind of wealth that Cook has, but it seems even more disgusting and pointless to have that kind of resources and still suck up to Trump.

If I recall my last business ethics and compliance training at #Apple correctly there was something about corruption and not giving gifts to government officials, not even in countries where it’s „customary“ or „necessary“ to do so to do business…

Baisser les APL de 5€, c'était soit disant "indolore".

Augmenter d'environ 5 € de plus la taxe aérienne : "cela peut faire une différence".

CQFD.

Not to do one of those "Americans make everything about themselves" type comments, but bear with me for a moment here:

The "mature #democracy" is dying because it's so lazy defending something it never thought it had to defend

While the emerging democracy vibrantly defends its democracy because it's painfully aware of what it can lose and how much it suffered to get the chance to have one

Moldova Just Jailed Its Putin-Aligned Governor. Here’s What She Did

A pro-Kremlin regional leader has been jailed in Moldova, marking a major blow to Kremlin influence in the country’s autonomous south. As Chișinău deepens ties with the EU and Ukraine, Russia’s decades-long grip continues to unravel.

From the ACB mailing list:

Congress has reintroduced the Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act (TCIEA). This bill works to ensure that people with disabilities are not paid subminimum wage under an almost 100-year-old piece of legislation that allows certain businesses with a specific certificate to do so. The bill will work to eliminate such working environments and help transition people currently in such settings into a more integrated work situation. To ask your member of Congress to support the bill, go to speak4.app/lp/9801enwx/?ts=175….

curl tells the %time

The curl command line option --write-out or just -w for short, is a powerful and flexible way to extract information from transfers done with the tool. It was introduced already back in version 6.5 in the early 2000.
