DANGER when Snow Shoveling – Signs to Watch For Research shows that the exertion of shoveling snow may lead to a heart attack or sudden cardiac arrest. The act of shoveling snow is mostly arm work, which is more taxing and demanding on the heart than leg work. If you have known or suspected heart disease or risk factors for heart disease, get someone...

There is much truth to this post about about #math textbooks.

Das hatte ich noch nie. Ein Post auf LinkedIn erreicht nur eine Person – nämlich mich selbst. Liegt es möglicherweise daran, dass ich die Abhängigkeit von US-amerikanischen sozialen #Netzwerken kritisiert und Mastodon als Alternative empfohlen habe? Werden Inhalte zurückgehalten, und wenn ja, warum? Könnte künftig sogar die US-Regierung Einfluss auf Inhalte und #Meinungsbildung nehmen? Wir brauchen in #Europa digitale #Souveränität, bevor es zu spät ist. 🇪🇺

Viele meiner Kollegen sind in der nächsten Woche in den USA.
Viele fühlen sich im Hinblick auf diese Reise sehr unwohl.
Ich habe mich schon im Sommer entschieden, nicht mitzufahren.
Meine Zufriedenheit mit dieser Entscheidung ist seither nur gestiegen.

I'm somewhat inclined to disable bridging for my own account; it feels like it's providing legitimacy to BlueSky making claims about "federation" and "decentralization".

Whereas the reality is that #BlueSky is a walled garden, #ATproto has zero independent actually deployed sites, and is headed the way of it's predecessor (including political biases in post suppression).

Paul Krugman:
"It has been clear for a long time, to anyone willing to see, that the people running the federal government — Trump, Miller, Noem, Bovino and more — are monsters. It has been equally obvious that ICE and the Border Patrol are now filled with sadistic thugs. Yet many people — almost the entire GOP, everyone serving in the Trump administration, some Democrats, a significant part of the media — were too cowardly to admit the obvious."

It looks like europeans are launching their own social media platform called W #w

The goal is obviously to counter the American's X #x from Elon Musk

I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like #canada Mark Carney might use this #eu new option.

Where do you think that leaves #mastodon ? and Canada?

I can't even get on the website. I need some sort of code.

Reminder: if you're posting about US politics (as so very many of you are right now, and for good reason!), please tag it with #⁠USPol and maybe #⁠politics. If you're posting about #⁠AlexPretti, or about #⁠Minneapolis, or whatever, please tag it appropriately.

This will help people *find* your posts, as well as filtering them! It's a win-win!

(Also, please CamelCase your tags if they're more than 1 word. It makes them way more readable.)

@amoatengJohanan Oppong Amoateng has put together an initial roadmap to get Unicorn to a stable 1.0 release. 🤩

We'd love your feedback! What would be most useful for Unicorn going forward? How can we set it up for improved support and adoption in the #Django ecosystem?

確かになぜあんなにGitHub Copilotはコードを書くのが苦手なんだろう。TypeScriptのちょっと手の込んだユーティリティ型 (10行) ぐらいはサクッと書いてくれるんだけれど、かなりコンテキストを与えても空気を読んだコードを書いてくれないし、ちゃんと指示しないと自分でLinterやFormatterすら実行しようとしない。なんというかGitHub Copilotは本当にただワンショットで「書いてみました」以上のことをしてくれないことが多いんだよな。

Looking for grassroots, local organizing efforts that are supporting the community response in #Minneapolis who have material support needs that I can amplify. Drop links here.

If you accidentally paste it somewhere noone will suspect a thing.

claude voice mode is so bad. just downright a broken mess. apparently it’s trivial to brick a conversation and then there’s no way to pick off from any point or even restart it.

Have you heard @pluralisticCory Doctorow Cory Doctorow's proposal to permit jailbreaking to improve tech in Canada?

It sounds like Canadian officials and tech industry heads are about to listen... This development is like water in the desert rn.

ActivityPub実装にせよプログラミング言語にせよ、コーディングエージェントによって新しく何かを実装するハードルは下がったとは思う。ただ、それを計画的に運用し続けて利用者を広げて価値を提供して改善して...というハードルはあんまり下がらない。むしろどうやって変化に適応しながら品質を維持するのかというソフトウェアエンジニアにとっての難題が増えたとすら思う。
