@jsoriano oh I'm definitely not blaming people for finding alternatives, I just think that people aren't considering their alternatives carefully enough-- which to be fair, is hard, because there aren't a lot of good ones. This is exactly why I'm funding Servo
@jsoriano but, I also ironically kind of get where Mozilla comes from.
If you want to do proper opensource AI with datasets that aren't made of plagiarism and code from questionable sources, there's basically nothing there.
Guess who IS working on that though? Mozilla.
So as much as I REALLY REALLY wish they'd stop putting it in their browser, I don't hate that they're working on AI in itself, because the way they did that wasn't bad so far, AFAIK.
@modulux @jsoriano @stepheneb I don't think you'd find it less useful if it was opt-in, or an optional Mozilla-built extension. The bundling of other AI stuff and the fact that it's opt-out doesn't become less problematic because local translation is useful to some people.
From sanctions to subpoenas, the political reach of the United States extends deep into the infrastructure of Amazon, Microsoft, and other tech giants.
@mariuxdeangelo hm. Some of them... the bridge make them come and go a little odd on both sides. Right now the Matrix channel says 149 people and the IRC channel 216!
Anyone who does not understand this at this point does not want to understand it on purpose and is a genocide denier. (And thus complicit in genocide as genocide denial is the last and final stage of genocide.)

#BREAKING 🚨!! A #drone just hit the #sumud #flotilla boat #gretathunberg and #novaramedia #journalist Kieran Andrieu are staying on. This happened in #Tunis, as the flotilla was moored.
Hamas isn't committing crimes against humanity?! For reeeeal? October the 7th is one of the most hideous crimes seen in the whole history. Terror attacks on civilians, killing, raping, stealing people, devastating peaceful kibutzim (villages) in Israel — that's not a crime for you? Then I don't know what is. #Israel
@gme I don't know what this word means (catastrophe, I guess, or something in the lines), but the state of Israel was officially recognized by UN and the whole world. Most attacks on Israel throughout all these years targeted especially civilians, and this particular conflict started from October the 7th, when 1200 people were killed with absolutely no reason.
Palestinian land was given to Zionists by the UK in 1947.
Land the UK didn't own and had no right to give away.
Why didn't the UK give the Zionists the Isle of Man or the Isle of Wight? Or land in Wales or Scotland?
Oh yeah, because the people there would have been pissed.
How would you feel if the US came in and gave your town away and kicked you, your family, your friends, and everyone else that lived there out so Israelis could live there?
@gme Even though I wouldn't come (after 80 years) and kill, rape and take people hostages, it's absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. If they reckon such a huge injustice was committed, they must go civilized and diplomatic ways. And by "they" I mean official people in power elect by democratic elections, and not a terrorist organization like hamas.
@gme Ooh, and you say hamas isn't ethnically cleansing Israeli people. But it is, or rather, it would if it had enough power. The disgusting "From the river…" slogan means just it: killing all Jews between Jordan and the sea. #Israel

The world clock in Google's current clock application centers the HH:MM:SS clock with a fixed padding on the left and right side.
However, it is not using a monospace font.
Meaning that the digits jump around left and right (and also extend/shrink to the top and bottom) every second, most noticeably when the second goes x0 → x1 → x2.
I am at the same time very and not at all surprised that this made it to prod.
For the past few months I have been visiting daily the home pages of Wikipedia's English and Italian (my native language) editions. Since featured articles and highlights change every day these pages are incredible resources for discovering facts, stories, places, and connections on all sorts of topics.
libcurl has done internet transfers specified as URLs for a long time, but the URLs you'd tell libcurl to use would always just get parsed and used internally.

Наука — это «задача сильного звена»: даже если мы произведём в миллион раз больше посредственных исследований, окажемся там же, где и сейчас. Если нам нужно больше действительно сильных работ, чем же наполнять "мешок" LLM? Можно забивать его статьями, но часть из них — сфабрикованы, часть — просто ошибочны, и все они содержат неявные допущения, которые могут оказаться ложными. К тому же часто не хватает ключевой информации — нет данных, недостаточно подробно описаны методы.
Предприниматель Маркус Страссер, пытавшийся сделать компанию из серии «положим все статьи в "мешок" → ??? → профит», в итоге отказался от затеи, заявив, что «почти ничего из того, что действительно делает науку наукой, не опубликовано в виде текста в интернете».
Даже лучший "мешок" в мире бесполезен, если в него не положить правильные вещи.
Или: Claude, пойдёшь со мной на выпускной?Слушайте, я не знаю, уничтожит ли нас когда-нибудь искусственный интеллект, сделает ли он нас всех богатыми или что-то...
«Мешок слов» — не супруг, не наставник, не босс и не раб. Это инструмент. Его предназначение — снимать с нас рутину и усиливать наши способности. Его социальный статус — отсутствует; бессмысленно спрашивать, «лучше» ли он нас. Настоящий вопрос такой: становимся ли мы лучше, когда им пользуемся?

We have some new LibreOffice Expert magazines from @linuxmagazine to give away! We want to get them to schools, libraries and local communities, especially in remote places where internet access isn't easily available: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource
A few weeks ago, Linux New Media released an updated version of its “LibreOffice Expert” magazine, which contains tutorials, tips and tricks about the office suite.
Is it translated in French? We could make it available in the village's médiathèque for school students and citizens (including me) to consult it freely. @linuxmagazine
The EU Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse, first published in May 2022, has become the "most criticized law of all time". Here's how to stop it now!
in the 5 minutes i gave to your call i couldn't find how to help. I looked into the YouTube video (I don't like to be directed to big tech media) but that didn't look like instructions how to take action. What did I miss?
From every security hole, no matter how well meant, the criminals will profit most. What is next? Should i leave my backdoor unlocked so that the police can enter more easily when there is a burglar in my home? No, the burglars will profit most of the open door.
I have always considered myself an European but EU is becoming an instrument of mass control. Chat control now and wait for the digital euro from European central bank. And this is going to be probably extended to emails, cloud... We need to find alternatives out of US and out of EU.
Honestly, I think the importance of this is overrated. In country where I voted for EU representatives (Latvia) police can do anything they want anyway. It's not always court-admissible, but that's not really important either, because they can do anything they want with or without courts. Only laws of physics there. Besides, it's such an outdated technology.
Same procedure as last year? Same procedure as every year,. James!
In case "#chatcontrol" will, when in place, help to suppress opposition or critics in case ever forces like AfD or other anti-democratic folks come to power.
Friday's episode of the podcast I do with my wife was a really fun one. Bit of a nostalgia trip, talking about things we collected as kids like Tamagotchis, Furbies and so on. If you haven't checked us out yet, please do. Might be something you enjoy. 51 episodes in and my wife and I talk about all sorts, never political, no sponsors, no ads, hopefully very little wasted time. If you've a mind, please pass it along as well, never know who's out there, who might be looking for something brand new to listen to. onj.me/stroongecast #StroongeCast

Does curl have any measures to reduce the bus factor? Should meetups of curl maintainers even be allowed or is too much at stake if anything happens at the venue?
I get this question fairly often. How would the projects I run manage if I took off? And really, the primary project people think of then is of course curl.
Most commands have an `-O, --output` option to format the output. By default, the output is pretty formatted for humans, but you can output in JSON, XML, or other formats.
With `template` output you can use Jinja templates, either built-in ones (the ones used in the web frontend), or your own; useful to build static HTML pages/sites, or reformat the data the way you want.
@kepi @The_ERROR U mě je blbé, že musím používat jednu německou aplikaci v práci. Do ní musím zapisovat všechno a třeba do Commerzbank se bez aplikace photoTan nedostanu. Musím být rád, že mi zatím všechno funguje na GrapheneOS. Dva telefony jsem chvíli zkoušel, ale nakonec jsem raději nainstaloval na GrapheneOS Google Play.
the Hunt brothers tried to corner the silver market and managed to acquire a third of it but when they couldn't get loans anymore and the exchange halted silver futures contracts it's not like they could just sit on their silver and only sell what they needed to cover their loan repayments. They couldn't sell it fast enough obviously and they weren't going to stop mining it. So it all spiraled and crashed.
TLDR They'll mine silver faster than you can buy it, it's not that scarce
Oooooh I meant it's for trapping Mormons because they're so attracted to silver haha I see the confusion, and no it's not a common phrase or anything. I know @barrett likes silver too and he's in Mormon country. I bet he has some inside knowledge of their plans for all this silver 😂
@feld Interesting story but nothing new really in the world of money con men, I mean Wall Street. I'm missing the Morman trap reference though. What's that?
The city of Montreal has given its employees a rulebook for dealing with English-speaking citizens, with step-by-step instructions that spell out when, and how, service in English is allowed.

@feld @SlicerDicer I don't know if you've been in a grow room (doo dee do) but they're hot (and humid). If you're not in a place where it's legal to grow, IR is Often used (from the air) to find homes with Super Hot Spots.
The fun part Slicer is that it would seem they're STUPID easy to steal. (?!?)
Aside: When I was in Uni, every year they'd put sodium bulbs in the lamp posts over three or four bridges, and about two weeks after the quarter started, they would all disappear. A-MA-Zing.
On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.
Over the decades, I’ve been humbled and grateful for the love you’ve shown, not only to me, but to the ideals of Star Trek itself: diversity, unity, and the belief that together, humanity can boldly go where none have gone before. Thank you for your unwavering support and for keeping this dream alive all these years. Live long and prosper, always.

#deltachat is being used in virtually all world regions where one or more other messengers fail to work. We recently released a major milestone (V2 security hardening releases) that prepared the ground for chat profiles to have multiple #chatmail relays at once ... failure or blocking of a single relay would not disrupt chatting anymore. But multi transport also helps with the "centralization problem in decentralized systems" ... delta.chat/en/2025-06-04-surge… (Funding is looking good currently btw!)
Beginning June we witnessed a sudden surge of Delta Chat usage especially in the US and Cuba. We don’t know the social dynamics behind it but it probably helps that Delta Chat apps resiliently work...
Today we are mourning our sweetest prince Jake the Bird.
His only job in life was to be loved by everyone and his loving personality made every bird and human fall for him instantly.
In all, he gave Fiona, Freddie, Beemo, Bonnie, A. and me nearly nine years of sweet companionchirp.
All that while living with a chronic illness, that while manageable, could at times be extremely annoying. Not once did he let that impact the affection for his flock.
