There's a quote on my toot, dear Lisa
After digging into a series of papers that describe basically exactly what I want in a programming language, I found out that a research group is already building a language that does like 90% of what my hypothetical dream language would be. And they’re actively developing it. And they are certainly much better at this than me.
I’m happy that a language which I actually like may be a reality soon? But I’m also feeling deflated, and I’m sure that the tyranny of small differences is going to make me annoyed with any little bike sheds which I have against their language.
I guess I’m not sure how to proceed. Maybe I’ll reach out and ask if there’s anything I can help with (though the compiler is written in a language I’m not familiar with) or maybe I can write documentation or libraries or something.
Very mixed feelings today.

I cannot contain my hype for the #EmeraldDragon English translation that was released for the #PCEngine CD.
Emerald Dragon is one of a handful of games that I resigned myself to never being able to play and experience in English. Sometimes you just need to give it a couple of decades. 😂
Here is my original copy that I mentioned previously along with the original strategy guide. Dust jacket intact!

@wlanaLana ooh, to learn only after. Seems like I missed a lot. Did enjoy the cold breeze on the beach, didn't even get a single jellyfish bite!

Die Videos vom #39c3 zu sehen ist ein bisschen wie ein Fediverse-Klassentreffen. Cory Doctorow, Arne Semsrott und Helena Steinhaus hab ich schon. Es vermittelt mir das Gefühl, mit meinem Rechtsempfinden nicht alleine zu sein.
Tut richtig gut, Menschen mit moralischem Kompass auf der Bühne schlaue Dinge sagen zu hören 😍

This year was a busy year!
This year I wrote 28 articles for Privacy Guides, created 4 designs for our new merch store, started a new project you will soon hear more about, all while still working on my own projects as well. It was a busy year, but it was a good year.
May the next one bring even more new projects and community growth!
There will be many hard battles for privacy rights to fight in 2026. But together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish ✊💛
It's public domain day!
So today and for the rest of the month, I'm going to be highlighting films and other things that have newly entered the public domain in this thread.

We will be making the full export of infobeamer.c3voc.de for #39c3 available shortly.
This will include everything (regardless of the set time limit) that was confirmed, but then never deleted.
If you submitted a slide and don't want it to be included in the export, please make sure to delete it until 2026-01-03 10:00 CET.
넥슨재팬은 상장 회사로서 ESG 관련 자율공시와 관련해 집게손가락과 관련해, 그리고 마비노기 웨카 경매장과 관련한 직권 사용자 연령 등급 변경에 대해서 주주에게 책임감 있게 답변할 의무가 있습니다.
두 문제 모두 넥슨 이사회에 설치된, 회사의 준법 의무를 감시하는 컴플라이언스 기구가 제대로 작동하지 않는 상황을 의심하게 합니다. 2023년에도, 2025년에도 제대로 작동하지 않았고, 두 문제 모두 일시적, 장기적 주주의 이익을 침해할 여지가 있습니다.

Frage an die Tech-Bubble: Am Sonntag ist der erste digitale Unabhängigkeitstag - #DID oder #DUT . Auch das Archiv Soziale Bewegungen hat sich überlegt, wo wir uns von Techgiganten lösen können. Viel bleibt nicht mehr - die gesamte Infrastruktur basiert bei uns auf Open source Lösungen. Aber einen Cloud-Service nutzen wir noch: GitHub - inzwischen in der Hand von Microsoft. Wohin sollen wir wechseln? Natürlich können wir unsere repositories lokal hosten, was keine große Mühe machen würde. Damit wären sie aber nicht mehr allgemein zugänglich - und vielleicht finden ja doch irgendwelche Menschen unseren Code nützlich. Wohin also wechseln? SourceForge? Immerhin kein Konzern, aber trotzdem in Kalifornien. Gibt es Alternativen?
Hospitals reducing services due to lack of fuel
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights has announced that several hospitals and health facilities in the enclave have been forced to reduce services or cease operations due to an Israeli blockade on fuel.
