Do my critically important, value-driven work supporting critical infrastructure and critical service delivery for which I receive an ungodly salary from a five year old laptop bogged down with bloat from IT so badly that it lags when scrolling web pages.
Do my fucking around building stupid shit nobody will ever use and playing stupid games on one of the fastest consumer-oriented desktop specs available.
I'll always find this funny.
Kyberpunková swingers party přináší čtyři delší povídky a v nich očekávatelný děj, jaký si kterýkoli čtenář série s doktorem Koskem nejspíš umí dobře představit.marek (Audiolibrix s.r.o.)
After over 20 years of only buying HP printers (because they work well in Linux) I finally got fed up by their anti-customer policies, their hard push against third parties, their heavily-overpriced, privacy violating ink cartridges and the planned obsolescence.
While not perfect, most certainly a lot better, so I ordered a Brother MFC-J5740DW. Reviews are pretty good, it does duplex, scan to cifs and works with Linux. Looking forward to it, shall write a small "review" in some days..
I have a different brother laser printer here and it generally does pretty well for a few years by now. 👍
(Like, I think the highest praise for a piece of tech you can give is: "Yeah it works, I don't think about it" :D)
@Bubu Yeah, I've read pretty good things about them, I am looking forward to it!
And it has two paper trays, that's a nice upgrade from the current one.
@Bubu
> Yeah it works, I don't think about it
Same here. Bought one of the cheaper brother laser printers (black & white only, with a flatbed scanner), and it works perfect since … years.

Harvard experts warn Diaspora Jews are suffering from ‘traumatic invalidation’ after Oct. 7
"They call it traumatic invalidation, a condition first studied a decade ago for victims of other traumas such as sexual assault who are told it's their fault or they should get over it. For Jews, the same label should apply, the authors found, because it involves what they describe as a stunning mix of silence, denial, blame, gaslighting, whataboutism, and exclusion, such as documenting many cases of Jews being told their grief does not matter because of what's happening in Gaza"

Ik zat vanochtend net een halve poging te doen om dochterlief naar Linux te helpen. Haar leptop is stuk dus dit is een mooi moment voor verandering.
Maar eigenlijk weet ik niks van Linux. Net zo min als de dochter heb ik veel zin in systeembeheren.
Ik zou wel tips willen welke tweedehands laptop geschikt zou zijn voor een verse Linux-installatie waar een eh, normaal mens ook mee kan werken.
Ik draai al jaren Ubuntu op mijn desktop, en mijn ervaring is dat de hoeveelheid systeembeheren ongeveer net zo veel is als bij Windows. Met als voordeel bij Ubuntu dat iemand het al voor je heeft uitgezocht en je een paar commando's in de commandline plakt die het in orde maken.
Grootste issue zal de software zijn -- als je Windows-only programma's gebruikt dan is het wel echt pielen geblazen. Maar Firefox (en dus ook alles wat via een browser kan) gaat prima.
Question: Are there freely available #GeoJSON files out there for the boundaries of the provinces/states of various Central European nations?
I need them individually, i.e. one for "Bavaria" one for "Tyrol", and so forth.
Canada needs a real environmentalist party not just "conservatives who recycle" with a green label.
A new version of MapComplete is out on mapcomplete.org
It has:
- a brand new theme was created by @RLin about infrastructure. If you like power lines, pipelines, street cabinets, then this map will be for you: mapcomplete.org/infrastructure
- More support for offline use (and even more is in the pipeline)
- various bugfixes
MapComplete is a platform to visualize OpenStreetMap on a specific topic and to easily contribute data back to it.mapcomplete.org

He was behind some of the band's best-known hits including Bloody Well Right and Goodbye Stranger.Ian Youngs (BBC News)
I haven't really gotten into their whole catalog, but "Breakfast in America" is one of my favorites. "Goodbye Stranger" is a 10/10 song, and "Bloody Well Right" off "Crime of the Century" is a favorite of mine as well.
I loved singing along to that one as a kid, cause singing "bloody well right" felt like cursing, but didn't get me in trouble.

The other day me and @gregkh shot down a draft proposal to add a new role in the CVE ecosystem (SADP: "supplier ADP") that would append data to CVEs with details about dependencies and how they are or are not vulnerable to each particular CVE.
Imagine the amount of dependencies that use curl or the Linux kernel etc. These sweet innocent proposal makers thought in the terms of 5-10 dependencies per CVE. Not tens or hundreds of thousands which is far from unthinkable.

For number lovers: during the past 31 days, the #IzzyOnDroid repo saw almost 800,000 APK downloads – which roughly corresponds to 18 APKs/minute, or 1 APK every 3 seconds. And that's only from our main server, not counting the mirrors (coming soon™).
Detail lovers can head over to stats.izzyondroid.org/ and dig in 😉

The other day I sent out this tweet As it took off, got an amazing attention and I received many different comments and replies, I felt a need to elaborate a little. To add some meat to this.daniel.haxx.se
I’ve gotta be real with you, @Tutanota: I love your work and your company, but you need to add Web Key Directory compatibility.
At this point, PGP/WKD support for a privacy-focused email provider has to be as fundamental as supporting TLS. Proton does not own PGP.
I simply cannot in good conscience recommend Tuta over Proton to people generally speaking, knowing that Proton users benefit from E2EE when they email me on my self-hosted email servers, as well as when they email plenty of other providers (Posteo, Mailbox.org). And that is a shame, because trust me I would love to be able to point anywhere other than Proton when I’m asked this.
Keep your superior encryption for intra-Tuta emails, absolutely. Give it a different UI indicator so people know the difference, I don’t care. At the end of the day, not at least silently supporting in the background the only decentralized email encryption method we have is antithetical to what email is all about: interoperability.
People have been asking you about PGP for 8+ years, I know Autocrypt used to be on your roadmap and now it seemingly no longer is.
There is a clear winner now, and it’s WKD.

Contact with Europeans in the 19th century first provided the Yapese at Palau with iron tools, that made the cutting and shaping of the stones much easier. Not much later, the Yapese made deals with Europeans to use their ships to transport the stones back to Yap. These arrangements enabled the manufacture of much larger and heavier rai stones, up to 4 meters in diameter, as well of a larger number of them. However, these "modern" stones were less valuable than more ancient ones.
Even stone money suffers from inflation.

So, if I write you a document before a meeting, you use AI to summarize that document, and then during that meeting you rely incorrect or partial information, not only you wasted everybody's time, but you also made it clear that you don't think I'm capable of relying information synthetically, moreover you're clearly stating that you're not intelligent enough to read a simple document.
Using AI makes you "look" fast and productive, but in reality it paints you as cheap and lazy
Also, with the most recent "optimized" models is estimated that to generate a small image (how small, who knows), it consumes an average of 0.25 kWh.
So if only one person generates 6 images it's the equivalent of keeping your electric heater running full power for 1hr.
Your silly memes built on stolen art are helping boiling the ocean.
But hey...now you can see what a gorilla wearing an iron man suite looks like, because your imagination is stunted.
Congrats, I guess
