I feel sorry for the people who outsource their writing to “AI”. They will never discover the true value of what writing has to offer: debugging yourself, structuring your thinking, letting your messy thoughts emerge from the depths of your brain, to name a few things.

Even sadder is when people say “I am bad at writing so I use the AI”.

Practice is where the value is! No one is suddenly good at anything! Please, allow yourself to mess up, make mistakes and discover things!

Für alle die sich gerade Fragen warum die Diskussion um die gerade wieder so brennt.
Wir stehen kurz vor einer erneuten Abstimmung im Rat.
Der dänische Vorschlag ist das schlimmste von allen in einem (edri.org/our-work/denmark-coun)

Wenn dieser durchgeht kommt die nächste Phase des Gesetzgebungsprozesses der sogenannte Trilogue - hier müssen dann Kommission, Parlament und Rat einen finalen Text aushandeln.
Was wichtig ist zu verstehen:

Adding/removing "pinned statuses" to an actor

julian @julian@activitypub.space

<p>Mastodon has a concept called "pinned statuses", which is a special collection attached to a Person actor.</p> <p><a href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#featured" rel="nofollow ugc">https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#featured</a></p> <p>It wasn't readily known how this collection is updated and federated (not without code achaeology), but <a href="https://social.sitedethib.com/@Claire">@<bdi>claire@social.sitedethib.com</bdi></a> recently shared some additional info :smiley:</p> <ul> <li>The actor itself will issue an <code>Add</code> activity targeting the collection with the status in <code>object</code>.</li> <li>This activity is sent to all followers of the actor.</li></ul>

Compulsory Digital ID now is it?

I predicted a while back that this would come in the wake of the Internet "Safety" Act.

It'll eventually mean that you can't use the internet without first validating with your Digital ID, and then the Panopticon will be complete.

ID cards are bad. Very bad.

1. Once they exist it will become necessary to always carry it. If you don't you must have something to hide, etc.
2. They can't stop people working in the 'black economy' because people currently employing those working for cash don't care.
3. It is another attack on trans and NB people (very unlikely someone would be allowed to have multiple IDs)
4. Massive data loss of personal information is highly likely.
5. Who pays? Why should they?
6. Police state becomes more likely with having your ID inspected whenever a copper wants to harass someone, especially POC.
7. OTHER OPTIONS ALREADY EXIST!

ID cards are a very bad, very dangerous, very expensive, and very risky idea.

ps I'm not a 'Brit'. I'm British, or more specifically English!

아침에 퍼리 팬덤에서 70%가 넘는 사람들이 스스로를 퀴어로 정의한대서 설마 하고 찾아보다 꽤나 진심인 퍼리 팬덤 리서치를 찾게 됨

furscience.com/

성적 지향 관련 항목:

furscience.com/research-findin

해당 보고서에 따르면 2018년 퍼리 컨퍼런스 조사결과 이성애자 비율은 20%를 겨우 넘는 수치였다고...

심지어 2020년 온라인 조사에서는 무려 10%까지 그 비율이 떨어졌다고 함

진짜로 이성애자가 성소수자인 세계관 실존

Most people's reactions to Metaballs on Apple Vision Pro has been, 'omg I want to try it.'

Some have asked, 'why metaballs?'.

Well, I think retro-technologies can be super fun when brought to modern platforms.

In the 90s, Metaballs were one of the first ways to create truly organic shapes. But, being able to interact with them in real-time, in Spatial – it's amazing!

I think apps should be fun, and fun leads to creativity.

Canada Post is a service, not a consumer product. The idea that it operates at a "loss" is stupid. It's like saying schools operate at a loss; hospitals operate at a loss; roads operate at a loss; sewers operates at a loss.

We pay for public services collectively, because they are simply needed for our society for function and for everyone to have (relatively) equal access to participate in culture/society/democracy.

Stop reducing necessary services to an income statement!

A colleague did benchmarks of our new internal web app toolkit-- slogan “use the browser; it's fast” -- pitted against React. It was not a contest. It was a a rout.

So happy I got to help make that work happen in the way managers help work happen: by telling the person whose idea it was that it was a really good idea, and giving the people involved as much space as possible to do the work.

Next challenge is to find a way to let them present on it in public. This is not a company that does open source work as a habit. It's so weird to me.

Something something we're hiring
something something both web application developers AND Rust-writing service developers

US-located people only; healthcare; a project worth doing because medical records SUCK; stability because we were recently acquired but competitive compensation. Well, not competitive with the FAANGs or the bushels of money the AI companies shower on people, but you know, normally competitive if you're in the Silly Valley.

blah blah blah end paid advertisement

I really want to believe in the mobile web but since I did a hard wipe of my phone last week, my web browser has used 5.1 GB of the 8GB/mo data plan my partner and I share.

I don’t really know how to say this but I don’t leave home that often, and when I do, I’m typically listening to downloaded audiobooks or music.

I mean, ok, I forgot to reinstall an adblocker, but, and this is important: that *shouldn’t* matter. Of course, it does, and I’m now-more-than-ever taking the stance that “ad blocker”s are actually “protect me against websites doing malicious things” programs
