I have actually been in the market for a simple environmental monitor to use around the house, so I am absolutely addlepated that IKEA will not ship this to my ZIP code for some reason

Bei der fängt wohl die Schadensbegrenzung an. Die Stellungnahme [1] wurde kräftig überarbeitet (da sind wohl die Hausanwälte aufgewacht ;) und heute morgen gab es ein erstes Gespräch zwischen Vorstand und Genossenschaftsmitglieder. Eine ausserordentliche Generalversammlung wird weiterhin diskutiert. Die Rote Hilfe hat erklärt das sie ihre Konten bei der GLS Bank gerne behalten würde.

was amazing again! Met lots of old and new friends again despite having to build slides and unfortunately missed a few people I wanted to talk to as usual. Didn’t get much sleep and looking forward to catch up on that now.

Can’t wait for next year!

I do not share Glasser’s reaction — I expected it to be at least this bad — but as a catalogue of awful things and their enablers, it’s a good contribution. More of that in the MSM please: list the wrongs, as many as possible, over and over. Don’t let the memory hole swallow them up. mastodon.world/@BrianJopek/115

No matter how low one’s expectations were for 2025, the most striking thing about the year when Donald Trump became President again is how much worse it turned out to be. - Susan B. Glasser https://apple.news/AhRs6JKreRemV3mN7Sfjt7A

I think I might be about to embark on A Project.

Until about 2015 I was diligent about maintaining a local music library (in iTunes) with playlists for each new album that I bought/downloaded, and for each gig I attended. Then Spotify kind of took over, and I just don't have that kind of historical record for the last ten years.

I have had an intense year, personally. Some really low lows but also a few very positive things that came out of that. My goal for next year is to celebrate more. Specifically, celebrate the positive things that happen to my friends, my family and myself. If you have anything to celebrate with me, let me know and let's see if we can find a moment together =)

Patrik Domke is standing in front of a window in the laboratory. This window is covered with notes. He is holding a construction with a balloon in his hand.

Electrolysis can solve one of our biggest contamination problems

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a process that can be used on site to render environmental toxins such as DDT and lindane harmless and convert them into valuable chemicals – a breakthrough for the remediation of contaminated sites and a sustainable circular economy.

PSA I guess: "No means no" applies to much more than just sex. If you ask if someone wants to do something, and they say no, then don't be pushy and say things like "oh come on, it's fun!" or repeatedly push them to do the thing. Maybe they know themselves better than you do?? If you're disappointed that they don't want to do the thing, then that's a you problem. All consent should be informed and enthusiastic regardless of the context.

A rough prototype, but it's working! `csskit@0.0.11` now has a linter language! you can define "rule sheets" with a css-like syntax, then run them against your actual stylesheets and it'll lint your css in a split second!

Run `csskit tree` to see how to select nodes.

`npm i csskit@latest` ;)

An editor window with the contents of a "Csskit Rule Sheet". The code reads: /* check.cks */ :prefixed { level: error; diagnostic: "Avoid prefixed properties"; } compound-selector:has(id) { level: error; diagnostic: "Avoid IDs in css selectors"; } style-value[name=color]:not(:computed) { level: error; diagnostic: "Don't use literals in color style values, only our design tokens"; } compound-selector:has(:nth-child(4)) { level: warning; diagnostic: "Complex selector, consider refactoring"; }A code edit with a CSS file open. The code reads: #a { color: red; -webkit-animation: spin 3s; } div.b.c.d.e { color: var(--red-500); }A terminal window. The user has run the command `csskit check check.cks style.css` and the result is the following output: × Avoid prefixed properties ╭─[test.css:3:2] 2 │ color: red; 3 │ -webkit-animation: spin 3s; · ─────────────┬───────────── · ╰── Avoid prefixed properties 4 │ } ╰──── × Avoid IDs in css selectors ╭─[test.css:1:1] 1 │ #a { · ─┬ · ╰── Avoid IDs in css selectors 2 │ color: red; ╰──── × Don't use literals in color style values, only our design tokens ╭─[test.css:2:2] 1 │ #a { 2 │ color: red; · ─────┬───── · ╰── Don't use literals in color style values, only our design tokens 3 │ -webkit-animation: spin 3s; ╰──── ⚠ Complex selector, consider refactoring ╭─[test.css:6:1] 5 │ 6 │ div.b.c.d.e { · ─────┬───── · ╰── Complex selector, consider refactoring 7 │ color: var(--red-500); ╰──── Error: 1 files failed check! A terminal window.

Ugh, what an annoying article.

• "Pioneer," starting off with colonialist analogies, no notes.
• Pretending over and over again that there's any path from LLMs to something that can meaningfully said to be "alive," when that is very much so not the case.
• Sucking the oxygen out of the room by posing pretend problems with pretend technologies and calling it "AI safety," suffocating out real ethical problems with AI.
