I started up Zoom this morning and it gave me the message

"It looks like we are unable to connect. Please check your network connection and try again."

But my network connection was fine. The problem was at Zoom's end, or more precisely, Cloudflare's. (And it seems OK now.)

I'm beginning to be annoyed by this reflexive "please check _your_ network connection" coda in these messages. What it is, is victim blaming. And possibly gaslighting too. _Their_ network connection went wrong, and their immediate response is to tell all of us users that _we_ must have done something wrong. It makes us all do lots of pointless work checking things that don't need checking, and it probably makes half of us feel inadequate when we can't find any problem.

If you're _going_ to advise users to check their own network connection, take reasonable steps first to ensure the problem really does look like being at the local end. Try pinging a few other independently run well-known sites; try some DNS lookups; if you can't do _anything_, suggest the user checks their connection, but if the rest of that stuff works and only your own server can't be reached, maybe redirect to your application's status webpage instead?

gegen Brüssel
US-Vizepräsident JD Vance kritisierte am Donnerstagabend die Kommission. Er behauptete, es gäbe „Gerüchte”, dass sie plane, Elon Musks Social-Media-Plattform mit einer hohen Geldstrafe zu belegen.

„Die EU sollte die unterstützen, anstatt amerikanische Unternehmen wegen Unsinn anzugreifen”, schrieb Vance.

Officially unemployed now after almost 5 years at aws working completely in the open on the Rust compiler.

With rustnl.org/fund/ and rustfoundation.org/media/annou both figuring out how to ensure maintainers are paid to do reviews, refactorings and mentoring, I'm optimistic I can continue doing my work in the future.

If your company uses Rust a lot and would like to support it and talk about how that support can either indirectly or directly benefit its Rust-writing employees, I'm happy to chat to explain both funds and make the connection to the right fund for you. Or just skip directly to one of the funds if you already know ppl there!

In a world full of people who no longer trust each other, sometimes a small thing happens that just makes everything better.

A week or so ago I asked for German sci-fi books for my middle kid, who is struggling with his German grammar.

He's dyslexic and loves reading *my scifi books* in English, to the detriment of his German.

I asked on the internet, and I got a lot of fantastic advice, including from @lk108Lothar who replied and said he had a whole series, and offered to send them.

So he did, and I happily paid for the postage as soon as he said he'd sent them.

The box arrived today! I had no doubt that they would, a random person who I did not know at all, said they would do something really nice, and I was sure it would be so.

Anyway thanks @lk108Lothar for the lovely offer, and I'm sure Theo will be delighted.

Please give this post a round of boosts because a nice thing happened and we don't hear enough about that.

私もコミケとかでサークルに貼ってたポスター欲しい人がいたら売ってもいいんだけどあんまちゃんと告知しないからわりと捨ててしまうんだよね

ポスターくださいマンに何も考えず無料であげてた時もあったけどその後ヤフオクに出てたのを発見したのでもう無料では何もあげない( ´∀`)

A Mohana hunter holds a branch with a living bird tethered to the end, which he uses as a decoy to trap wild birds. The caught birds are either sold at the market or used as food for the family. The Mohana people once thrived on Lake Manchar in ’s Sindh province, but pollution and drought have caused the fragile ecosystem to collapse, along with their way of life.

Předseda Úřadu pro ochranu hospodářské soutěže Petr Mlsna změnil dvě ze šesti pokut, které jeho úřad vyměřil šesti firmám za kartelové dohody při zakázkách na železnici. Na základě podaného rozkladu Mlsna firmě AŽD Praha snížil původní sankci o víc než 34 milionů na 17,86 milionu korun. Firmě EPLcond naopak sankci zvýšil o 1,2 milionu korun na 24 milionů korun. Rozhodnutí je pravomocné, antimonopolní úřad o tom informoval v tiskové zprávě.
