But you can explicitly try to build better psychological affordances for yourself and in doing so, create moments and places you are not in this threat state. It's possible. It's necessary. Tech rarely takes the human cost of change seriously but you can
This is not a doom & gloom moment for me. I believe strongly that folks in tech have pre-existing values and strengths that have not always been at the forefront but that are right for this moment: beliefs that anyone can succeed, that we can navigate change, that creativity can transform our lives

An agent now builds a 200.000 lines of code C compiler from scratch that can compile the Linux kernel. In two weeks. I think at this point it's hard to argue against the tremendous productivity gains that this technology has created for my industry.

🆕 pandoc 3.9 🎉🚀
• Official support for wasm (WebAssembly), allowing to run pandoc in the browser,
• the *alerts* extension is now available in the pandoc Markdown flavor,
• support for defaults files using JSON instead of YAML,
• extension of `${.}` vars in the `defaults` field, making it easier to base defaults files on other defaults,
• method to run Lua code with a modified pandoc state,
• and much more
Many thanks to all who contributed!
“pandoc for the people”, the pandoc wasm web-app, is now available at https://pandoc.org/app/
It allows to run any kind of document conversion that pandoc supports in the browser. The documents never leave the computer, thus ensuring *full privacy*.
Conversions to pdf are done via Typst.
@peterkotrckaPeter Kotrčka you’ll learn a very poshy Italian, using this
While his human was answering e-mails, Archie (Auckland, New Zealand) snuck between their feet and sunk all of his little baby needle teeth into their big toe. He has to learn how to hunt somehow.
@peterkotrckaPeter Kotrčka me too. I bought a Kobo just before Christmas and it’s still waiting to be…used

something I'm struggling to understand about browser security is why you can send cross-origin POST requests with the user's cookies with a form, but the exact same fetch() call won't include the cookies
(I mean it's clear why we would NOT want to include the cookies, but it feels weird that it's allowed in one context but not in another)
@mcc I hate it when they don't label the axis

Him: well what's your big brain idea to eliminate food assistance fraud?
Me: universal food assistance
Him:
Me: because there wouldn't be a system to cheat, everyone would just get a check
Him: and who does that benefit?
Me: family farmers and human beings who rely on food for nutrition
Him: what about rich people?
Me: what about them?
Him: you would give them food assistance too?
Me: that's what universal means
Him: you can't do that
Me: yesterday you said I couldn't tax them and now you won't let me feed them either?
Him: they can afford food
Me: then it should be fine to tax them
Him: but if you tax them they won't have as much money
Me: I'm willing to offer universal food assistance

Als Journalistin gibt mir das ein richtig gutes Gefühl, dass man die Ermordnung und Zersägung eines unserer Kollegen beauftragen und trotzdem noch vom deutschen Kanzler hofiert werden kann.
My fosdem talk is up!
I make a case for more platforms to support the ActivityPub client API, and how we should look beyond microblogging for future growth of the ‘verse
