Today’s Classical Chinese translation: The Oil-Hawking Geezer.
Sir Chen Kangsu was a great shot — the best archer in the world, in fact. He was busy practicing in his own yard when some oil-hawking geezer set down his wares to take a good long stare. When he saw that eight or nine of every ten arrows struck the bullseye, the old geezer nodded slightly.
“Oh,” called Kangsu, “are you also a big archery stan? Hot stuff, don’t you think?”
“Meh,” said the hawker, “it’s just a matter of practice.”
Kangsu was insulted. “And just who are you to brush me off like that, huh, hotshot?”
“Here, lemme show you my oil.” The old man put a drinking gourd on the ground, and laid one of those coins with a threading hole in the middle over the mouth. He slowly poured a ladle of oil straight through the threading-hole without leaving the slightest trace of oil on the coin. “See? Just a matter of practice, that’s all.”
Kangsu really had to let that one slide.

Localization note: the original story takes it for granted that of course “money” has a small hole in the middle; I was very confused trying to grasp what was going on until I figured out they meant this particular type of coin.
I bet I'm the first person to ever use the words "meh", "stan" and "bro" in a Classical Chinese translation. If not: let's be friends. https://infosec.exchange/@0xabad1dea/115195918556365522

ICYMI - I commend unto you my most excellent podcast interview with break-out stand-up star Faris Hytiaa, the pride of Lethbridge, speaking about his Sudanese roots, Alberta identity, and the future of Canadian comedy. At a moment of both crisis in Sudan, and rising anti-immigrant rhetoric in Canada, this is a very timely listen. (Also includes comedy excerpts, if you need a good laugh today.) #Alberta #AlbertaUnbound #abpoli #Canada #Sudan #yyc
@stefanoStefano Marinelli Would it be ok to ask your opinion for using Samba? I don't need your help for how to do something as I already have Samba working and is reachable by various operating systems, only to get a different perspective.

@beanMr Horngus Sooo... like this? #meme
A lot of people are resistant to any kind of business uses for the #Fediverse , but consider this:
- While most of us here are rightfully scornful of #Capitalism , the notion of a "market economy" is not going to go away. There are innumerable small to midsized businesses in the world who _aren't_ like the Capitalists we know and loathe - they haven't established any monopolies, they haven't managed regulatory capture, and they are oppressed by Big Tech just as much as ordinary people are.
- For many such businesses, maybe even the majority, a #Facebook Business Page is more important than a website, and thus many such small businesses _only_ have a Facebook Business Page, since it is far easier to set up than hosting your own website on your own domain, it is easier for your customers to find you there (because #GoogleSucks ), and it is easier for you to interact with your customers as well.
I think it would be very worthwhile if the Fediverse would develop an alternative to Facebook Business Pages for such businesses.
A good example for an industry that could benefit from such "Fediverse Business Pages" would be the #TTRPG industry. While some gamers might whine that "RPG books cost too much these days!", the reality is that this is an industry that has razor-thin margins, and only the very biggest TTRPG companies have employees that number more than in the single digits. Every business decision they have to make must involve the question:
"Is this worth the effort?"
Well, if there _was_ a Fediverse Business Page system that was either easy to self-host, or easy to join on larger instances, and which had a similar design to Facebook Business Pages, then there wouldn't be much effort involved in adding the same material to the former if they already maintained the latter. And as #Meta declines, the Fediverse could gradually take its place.
What would such a Fediverse Business Page require? It would need an ActivityPub-enabled feed, of course. It would need a configurable link list that would point towards their product pages or sales platforms, as well as space for all the usual business information. And it would require a robust scheduling system with a calendar view (I used the one provided by Meta for a time, and I think it is possible to do better).
Did I miss any important features?
Oh, and the same system would work well for non-business organizations as well - whether clubs, NGOs, or even political parties!

Fucking done with appeasing cis people.
Give trans kids HRT.
We know that nearly all kids who start on puberty blockers go on to hrt (because, shockingly, kids actually have insight into themselves).
We know from the evidence it's better if kids have their puberty at the same time as their cis cohort.
So just give them the fucking hrt.
Blockers were always a compromise and if cis people can't compromise then let's do the best thing for the trans kids.

👎 External PSU and terrible Thunderbolt port placement.

I'm a bit late to the party and somehow missed this, but here's an open letter to Dutch Universities (both academic and of applied sciences) and their executive boards, to ask that they stop the uncritical adoption of AI technologies in higher education.
