So, here’s a great grey owl! 🦉

My nomination for today's #SuperbOwl.
The Cosmic Owl is two galaxies that crashed into each other, creating overlapping ring-shaped splashes of stars. It measures 150,000 light years from side to side, or about 10^20 times the size of a Great Grey Owl on Earth.

Nie miałbym nic przeciwko, gdyby z Mastodona zniknęły "gwiazdki". Gdyby stał się mniej "socialmediowy" w wymiarze widocznego nabierania zasięgu.
Wiadomo, jak to wpływa na pracę mózgu - polubienia czy udostępnienia to jednak dopaminowe zastrzyki.
A gdyby tak wypruć Mastodona zostawiając wyłącznie opcję komentarzy i udostępnień, ale bez liczników? To mogłoby skłonić nas do częstszego odpisywania na posty, bo dzisiaj regularnie chwytamy się leniwego kliknięcia gwiazdki wyrażając aprobatę.
Tak sobie myślę, że brak tego przycisku jeszcze bardziej podbiłoby interakcje.

Tzw. demetrykacja istnieje jako opcja w wielu klientach Mastodona "od zawsze". Phanpy domyślnie nie pokazuje liczników (https://phanpy.social), w Pl-Fe możesz je wyłączyć. Z głowy nie pamiętam, w ilu jeszcze można zrezygnować, ale raczej co najmniej kilka apek to ma.
I fakt, to trochę inne doświadczenie sieci :)

Sad news. Dave Farber was one of a small handful of Internet pioneers who understood early on the inseparable link between technology and policy.
Dave recruited me to U. Penn. He has been an influence on almost everything I’ve worked on in my career.

Is there an article, blog or book that shows how to structure C++ projects in a functional way or rather non-OOP way? Most of the articles I've read just shows off the `<functional>` header isolated from context. That's cool and all, but if I end up with classes that just use the `functional` header, it's not really functional/non-OOP.
The reason why I'm asking is that, when I write C++, the very first instinct I have is to ask "Can this be represented as an object?" and most of the time, the answer is yes.
#cpp #cplusplus #programming #softwaredevelopment #functionalprogramming
I heard a tech exec speak last year, and I’ve been puzzling for months over how to characterize the weirdly dazed, distracted way he was clumsily conveying the world-shaking realizations he’d been having by interacting with AI chatbots.
It’s “huffing AI.”
He was huffing AI.
They're all huffing AI.
Billionaires are worried about the Greta Thunberg type of protesting, which, on the ground, is a modest movement. But it's subversive, it tries to cause crisis. it's a type of protest that topples power structures.
Notice how billionaires never seem to worry about branded activism like #NoKings. It's because those types of protests don't apply pressure to those who wield power.
It's shows up and it leaves quietly.

Traffic Violence Rapid Response @web@www.oakrapidresponse.org
On February 1st at 6:20 a driver hit and killed Billy Grant as he was standing next to his recycling cart on Claremont Ave near Hillegass in Rockridge.
Our hearts go out to Mr. Grant, whose life was cut short as he was walking through the neighborhood, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
On February 1, 2026, at approximately 1829 hours, Oakland Police officers were dispatched to the 6000 blk of Claremont Ave to investigate a report of a vehicle vs pedestrian collision. Officers arrived on scene and located a male pedestrian laying on the street with blunt force trauma injuries. OFD and medical personnel arrived on scene and provided first aid. Falck transported the pedestrian to Highland Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
It appears that the pedestrian was walking in the southbound lane of traffic in the 6000 blk of Claremont Ave, when a vehicle driving southbound Claremont Ave struck the pedestrian in the roadway, outside a crosswalk. The vehicle’s driver stayed on scene and provided a statement to law enforcement. The pedestrian is a male black in his 70s from Oakland. The identification is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. The driver of the vehicle is a female Asian in her 20s from Berkeley.
It does not appear that alcohol or drugs played a factor in this collision.
This incident is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Oakland Police Department Traffic Investigation Unit at (510) 777-8570.
Lieutenant Tim Dolan (Primary)
Traffic Investigations Unit
Oakland Police Department
We are saddened and outraged that yet another life has been tragically taken due to traffic violence. 23 people were needlessly killed on the streets of Oakland last year, with untold numbers of others whose lives have been irreparably harmed because of serious injuries due to traffic violence. And we're not off to a good start in 2026.
These injuries and deaths from traffic violence are preventable.
Members of Traffic Violence Rapid Response visited the location, found Mr Grant's cart, and spoke with several neighbors, some of whom witnessed the aftermath of the collision. Contrary to the police report, neighbors report that the scene immediately after the collision showed Mr. Grant was standing next to his cart in the parking lane, not in the vehicle travel lane. The neighbors also report a deep sense of constant threat from speeding vehicles on Claremont as they step off their front steps right into the danger of speeding vehicles.
This location is inherently dangerous. Claremont runs two lanes in each direction for over a third of a mile (2000ft) between traffic lights. Many drivers refuse to stop for people at the two marked crosswalks on Claremont and there are no other stop signs or flashing beacons for the 1/3rd of a mile between traffic lights. This collision occurred on the westbound side, which slopes downhill, and nearly every driver is exceeding the speed limit. In addition the sidewalks are very narrow, too narrow to safely use a cart, wheelchair, or stroller. Claremont is on Oakland's High-Injury Network because the street is dangerous for people navigate.
Traffic safety is public safety. We call on elected leaders, Oakland Police Department, Oakland Fire Department, and the Oakland Department of Transportation (OakDOT) to treat the traffic safety crisis like the public safety crisis it is and to accelerate efforts to make Oakland’s streets safe for everyone, whether they are traveling by car, bike, on foot, or in a mobility device.
We are a group of caring Oaklanders organizing together to put an end to traffic violence throughout Oakland.
We believe traffic violence is a systemic solvable problem. We believe we can build safe streets for everyone using internationally recognized street designs that prioritize the safety and comfort of all residents, especially our most vulnerable neighbors.
We respond to incidents of traffic violence by raising awareness about the incident, lifting the voices of the victims and the community, and demanding concrete action from those with the power to help.

I see the Social Web Foundation, one of the organisations which works on the #Fediverse 's underlying technology, ActivityPub, is chasing the slop tsunami. I started looking into who is behind those organisations and what they do but after I found ex-microsoft CEOs, web3 people and orgs set up to work on bluesky's underlying tech, I just gave up looking. I didn't want to see any more.

A Sunday of dopamine decor: I put some of the little gems I collected, stickers, prints, postcards into 2 giant frames to put in the office.
Also, I made ramen with chicken broth that simmered for hours in spices and wine.
