We'd also like to address some privacy concerns, which you can read more about in the complete release notes https://zen-browser.app/release-notes/#1.12b.
dealing with matrix ops makes me uniquely miserable
After spendig almost three full days home, I’m now heading from Helsinki to Wroclaw via Baltics and back via Sweden, reason being Light as a Creative Tool conference.
Since normal price #TrainTravel in Eastern Europe is regurarly cheaper than #interrail, this is technically an interrail trip only during one day, when I splurge my last remaining travel day for a night train Berlin-Stockholm.
First leg: ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn. Breakfast buffet awaits.
We have finally retired the old #gnomeos installer image, and replaced it with the new live image. So now you can actually test GNOME OS before you install it. Get it at https://os.gnome.org/

@whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ DevOps is just shorthand for shipping a container image and letting the ops folks figure out how to do the unimportant things like backups, capacity planning, scaling, performance tuning, monitoring…

I know we all say this in one way or another every day we even dare peek into our public ever-churning kaleidoscope of atrocity, but every last feral fucking joy-hating death-worshipping botched abortion of a person who helped make this happen should see locusts and aphids eat everything they attempt to grow and watch sinkholes consume their homes and experience everyone who ever loved them shunning them until they cough up some unidentified alien black vomit and die dessicated and alone, leaving the world to draw a healing clean breath for their passing from it.

Relatively obscure #Python standards question:
In PEP 257¹ and PEP 258², "attribute docstrings" are defined as:
«A string literal immediately following an assignment statement»
Python's abstract syntax trees do not represent blank lines, it is as if they were deleted in the input source.
Note that PEP 258 does also explicitly mention that using blank lines to visually separate documented attributes.
Question: how many blank lines is the specification allowing between the assignment and the string literal? Is the specification talking about abstract or concrete syntax?

Japan is hoping that U.S. President Donald Trump will visit the 2025 Osaka Expo, but any trip is likely to depend on how tariff negotiations develop. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/05/03/japan/trump-expo-visit-tariff-talks/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #2025osakaexpo #us #donaldtrump #shigeruishiba #tariffs
The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion.
Within one decade of completion, it had already generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more.
If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.
If Biden, who is actually Catholic, posted a picture of himself as Pope there would be a thousand op-eds and cable news hits for months about how it was the most blasphemous thing an American president has ever done and we’d assume he had gone insane.

Hello mastodon. I could use some help. #fedihire
TL;DR: I was laid off a while ago, and the traditional "go scour job sites and apply" is currently broken. So - let's try social media. Please boost if you are willing, or pass this along if you know someone who needs what I can offer.
I'll be brief: I'm a very experienced System Reliability Engineer, with a track record of dependability and scalability. I take people's problems - stability, uptime, scale, cost, durability, speed, security and attack resistance - and fix them. I have the dubious honor of generally costing less to employ than I save my employer. If everything is perfect - you don't need me. But if you do, you may need me badly.
I'm available. Drop me a note.
I am located in Ventura, California, and strongly prefer remote work. I don't require visas or special accommodation to work in the US.

If there's any overlap at all between my followers and the kind of science fiction fan who will be attending Worldcon in Seattle (
@seattlein2025Seattle Worldcon 2025) or just follows what's going on in that scene, then I beg you, please go easy on the Worldcon organizers. There's apparently some controversy around them deciding to use ChatGPT to vet possible panelists. Their statement on that is here: https://seattlein2025.org/2025/04/30/statement-from-worldcon-chair-2/ I'm not into SF conventions, but one of my favorite SF authors posted about this. 1/?

《经济学家发现生成式 AI 没有取代工作或影响薪水》 研究发现，生成式 AI 如 ChatGPT、Claude 和 Gemini 并没有取代人类工作或者降低人类员工的薪水。这一发现质疑了构建和运营生成式 AI 的高昂资本支出。经济学家 Anders Humlum 和 Emilie Vestergaard 研究了 AI 聊天机器人对丹麦 11 个职业的影响。会计师、客户支持专家、财务顾问、人力资源、IT 支持专家、记者、法务、市场营销、办公室文员、程序员和教师等职业被认为易受 AI 影响。但研究结果显示， AI 聊天机器人对劳动力市场和薪水的影响微乎其微，没有观察到存在显著影响。科技行业一直再宣称 AI 的经济潜力，企业投入了数十亿美元建设支持 A | https://www.solidot.org/story?sid=81180

Early bits of #decentralization of #Badges look how, I created one in one instance (verifiedby.maho.dev) for 
@lqdev and it got decentralized/federated to other instance (badges.vocalcat.com)
So, badges are coming to the #fediverse.
In a technical note, I am using notes (so it gets published to mastodon), but adding the badge as "attachment" which is in the #activitypub spec. Tried document type before, but it does not render in Mastodon. I am going to work in supporting openbadges as activitypub attachments as well, so you can bring your existing openbadges to the fediverse.
I'm ranting at a "UI Expert" saying they never experienced editing settings via the menu bar in a video and I think I channeled 
@freakboy3742Russell Keith-Magee in yelling at my monitor that it was a standard interface.
It was not a _simple_ UI. But it used the old school GUI OS thing where contextual options show up in the menu because the software was literally from before context menus.
This guy pitched himself as 20 years of experience in UX.
And did not know his history.
I am very crooked today.
