So, I see Wikipedia has bowed to the slop-peddlers protection racket. "Let us violate your consent and steal from you, or else we'll DDOS your site with scrapers forever."
And now a towering human achievement is irretrievably tainted by collusion with the slopbros.
"AI" is a grift, a consent-violation machine, a protection racket all rolled into one. It destroys everything it touches.

"But they HAD to sign a deal! Otherwise the 'AI' scrapers would have just shut their site down by inflicting massive server costs!"
First, that is LITERALLY a protection racket. Second, signing a deal offers no protection; the blackmailer will simply escalate demands.

Do you know any new open source projects that deserve recognition?
Projects that are:
- Solving real world problems and driving technical innovation
- Improving science, research or medicine
- Challenging long standing platforms or paradigms
- Just super nerdy and doing something novel!
If you do, please share them and perhaps we can help them get the attention they deserve. 🧡

"an extraordinarily interesting video that touches on a load of great topics"
No, really! Someone just wrote this comment about my conversation with Marco.
This gives you an idea what it would be like to work with me. What do you think?
(Watching myself is nerve-wracking and sometimes even cringe, but I'm really quite happy with this one!)

On this day in 2001 Wikipedia was first edited. That was 25 years ago. A cause for celebration.
Have you made an edit to Wikipedia? If not, today would be a good day to do so.
I'm writing C++. I have a struct
struct ExampleStruct {
int32_t i;
bool a;
bool b;
}
I know I'm running on a modern CPU such as x86_64 or ARM64, and I know I'm using a modern compiler such as recent clang, recent gcc, or recent msvc.
The byte offsets of "a" and "b", relative to the start of ExampleStruct, are:

There is a new European Mail Transfer Agent: Remails. It's on GitHub, written in Rust, and hosted in Europe.
Read Max and Michiel's blog on how we built Remails from a single binary proof-of-concept to a highly available, scalable cloud application: https://tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/197/remails

At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors. We have chosen to not integrate AI or crypto, but instead we integrate a wealth of other features, based on the wishes of our users.
We are a European company with most of the team based in Norway and Iceland, a few around Europe and a couple in the US.
Our servers are based in Iceland.
If you want to get away from Big Tech, maybe give us a try? If you are already using Vivaldi, maybe introduce your friends?
Have a nice day!

Many health information websites leak page visit data to third parties such as #google. These websites include Canadian and provincial health portals. According to the Blacklight Privacy Inspector, only #Ontario, #BritishColumbia, and the #Canada health portal were free of 3rd-party tracking when we collected the data.

politik, forschung, "innovationen", meinung
"mit digitalen Innovationen Schritt zu halten" als Totschlagargument ist kompletter Quatsch.
Die meisten dieser "Innovationen" sind menschenverachtender Mist.
Da hinterherzuhecheln führt ins Verderben.
In sinnvollen Bereichen sind hiesige Forschungseinrichtungen keinesfalls "abgehängt".
