Da gerade viel über den Lobbyverband „Die Familienunternehmer“ geschrieben wird. Und da auch vieles durcheinander geht… Nein, diese Organisation vertritt nicht „die Interessen von 180.000 Familienunternehmen“. Tatsächlich gibt es 6500 Mitglieder, darunter BMW & Merck.
![Mitglieder und ヘ Organisationsstruktur Laut eigenen Angaben hat die Organisation der deutschen „Familienunternehmen" rund 6500 Mitglieder, 16 und vertritt somit rund 0,2 Prozent der rund drei Millionen Familienunternehmen in Deutschland. 131 Die Organisation nimmt für sich in Anspruch 180.000 Unternehmen „alle[r] Branchen und Unternehmensgrößen" zu repräsentieren. 2](https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/115/603/984/772/347/705/original/497feab87761ae38.png)

The YouTuber F4mi recently made a great video about why modern user interfaces in games have gotten so bland in recent generations, and went into great detail about the market and management forces which restrict creativity in the UX space.
I chimed in in the comments about more of the technical reasons why flat vector art has become the norm in games. F4mi liked the input, but a whole bunch of randos hopped on to say shit like “IDK I think you’re all just dumb and lazy. Just make better menus”
Evolution doesn’t look how it’s depicted in pop culture. We often picture the famous “March of Progress” illustration where a series of apes stand in line leading to a modern human.
But evolution is not linear. It branches and branches. Divides in some places and recombines in others. #science

"Trump’s job approval in Fox News polling, the most widely seen of all their polls, has gone from 52%-46% in January to 41%-58% last week. This is a 23 point drop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Suddenly, media outlets seem to have figured out that President Donald Trump is really, really unpopular. There’s been a palpable shift in the discourse: The New York Times reports that Republicans are quietly looking beyond Trump, suggesting he’s losing his grip on the party."

They said it couldn't be done!* But it's getting close! Search match styling will change, and there is no GUI for this yet. But we now have an end-to-end connection between the renderer, input stack, and search internals.

I Just Want to Go Back Home | MyNotes
A single thought that deafened the noise of a new city and a new life. This is the story of a paralyzing fear, of porticoes that felt like cages, and the silent nod that changed everything. It's about finding your way back home, even when you're far away from it.

I don't remember many details; I had lost my family in an accident less than a year before, and my brother, who always told me how to get around, wasn't there to help me. I walked around the block of the Rectorate twice until I found the place to submit my registration and documents :) I went through the procedure mechanically, choosing 5 courses: physics, calculus, chemistry, language, and the optional course was Fortran. I left relieved and in a hurry: I want to go back home.

A Trojan using GitHub Discussions as its command and control protocol is ridiculous and kinda hilarious tbqh
Kinda surprised it took this long - but… stop keeping credentials unencrypted in your home directory and also building tools that default to it please 🙃
Every OS has a keychain at this point… use them and yell if you can’t 🙃

🤘 New episode of Changelog News!
Cedric Chin says comparisons of our current AI *maybe-bubble* to the dot-com bubble and the 2008 GFC are limiting, Matthew Prince does a post-mortem on last week's Cloudflare outage, "hl" is a fast / powerful log viewer for humans, Enthusiast Guy's Continuum 93 is a fantasy computer emulator, and a list of things that aren't doing the thing.
AI has been infiltrating knitting and crochet spaces, filling them with useless patterns. Here's why that's happening and what can be done about it.

Others have drawn parallels between AI and photography: the invention of photography decimated the market for portrait painters but didn’t eliminate painting as a craft, pastime, or vocation.
Photography was invented 200 years ago.
The majority of paintings we all know were painted *after that*.
People ask me why, in an AI era, I devote my time to tools for crafting a site by hand.
People will still make sites by hand.
All the best tools for making sites by hand *have yet to be invented*.
I need to do a poll where I'm in agreement with the majority next.
so, okay, we've been making mistakes in production with DNS since we were 16, right? we can tell you some stories!
none of them end in someone telling us "don't worry, nobody else understands the changes they make when they do this either".
hearing this from someone well-regarded in our field would have been actively detrimental to getting us to where we are today.
because we guarantee you that for every do-ho-ho bumbling mediocre guy who goes "lol, nobody understands $thing" there is at least one person who does, cleaning up after the messes that this type of fucking guy leaves behind.
This is sick. #Ubuntu running on a #Blackberry Passport.

Our latest EuroBSDCon trip report from Leah Budzicka highlights continued interest in FreeBSD among newer and younger developers. Leah discovered the Foundation’s travel grant opportunity on Mastodon, attended the conference through Foundation support, and shared their experience with the broader community.

If you’re new to FreeBSD, we welcome you to explore the Project. What questions do you have about getting involved?
Some helpful advice for all you software devs:
- You cannot solve social problems with code
- You cannot improve a system until you understand why it works the way it does
- You cannot produce tools for someone else without understanding how they work and what they are trying to accomplish

Tomorrow is the day in my election security course where we dissect election denial BS, always a fun class. I'm grateful to the "election truth" conspiracy people for keeping the 2020 dream alive in 2024, and giving us a steady stream of new (actually recycled) material. The pillow guy gets old after a while.
yeah its almost like AI detectors are a scam
I hate when websites aren't specific about their password requirements.
The site said I needed to use at least 1 letter and 1 number. So I used a cuneiform 3 (𒐮), but it kept complaining that I hadn't used a number!
Frankly, I was adding way more entropy than a Western Arabic Numeral 3 would have.
