Will Tabarot still be in government?

@thisismissemEmelia 👸🏻 
@laurenshof ouch... so with a combination of these two things, what would need to change to get you psyched about participating in the standardization of all these under-standardized edges?

I genuinely don't know. Lexicons?
They provide 2 critical things. One is schemas, which actually support coordination and interoperability. The other is namespacing, which actually avoids collisions and supports efficient filtering. But linked data makes that impossible.
"The Revigator was intended to add radioactivity (radon) to drinking water. Water without radioactivity was 'devoid of its life element.'
The glazed ceramic body of the jar has a porous lining that incorporated uranium ore. Water placed inside the jar would absorb the radon released by decay of the radium in the ore.
Advertised as 'an original radium ore patented water crock,' it sold in the hundreds of thousands between 1924 and 1930."
I wrote an extension for the GH CLI to help fight spam on GitHub.
And I wrote a blogpost about that:

"Nobody saw more clearly the direction in which the Republican Party was heading than Jesse Jackson did, and nobody saw more clearly the eventual public policy failures of Democrats seeking to carve off conservative voters who already were in the process of losing their minds."

"Donald Trump is the creature at the end of that road, and Jesse Jackson, who passed away on Tuesday morning, saw that before many allegedly shrewd political minds did. Sail on, Reverend. You were ... somebody."
"His life’s work should inspire us not only to defeat the SAVE Act, confront ICE’s massive assault on civil rights, and overturn the assault on the social safety net, but to aspire to a better vision of America."

nothing, and i mean NOTHING is confidential with Microsoft or Google or anything by #techbros.
y’all seem to have forgotten EDWARD SNOWDEN and his revelations about the NSA, FISA and how Silicon Valley spies on USians for the right price.
we political bloggers at the time had on our emails disclaimers about how Google, Yahoo, Microsoft could send them to the NSA.
#AIslop is the commercialization of the #spycraft as internet services, Silicon Valley created to sell us out to the police state.

do you have a favourite man page? thinking of writing a short blog post exploring man pages and what makes a good one and I'd love some more examples
my contribution: I think it's cool that `man curl` includes an example for every single option

Nieuwe blog op ericburger.nl: "Microsoft 365 compliance: Majeure wijzigingen limieten en compliance Teams privékanalen"
👉 wijzigingen in het aanbieden en archiveren van chats uit privé-kanalen in Teams
👉 Microsoft 365-functioneel beheerders, -recordsmanagers en -adoptieconsultants moeten alert zijn en actie ondernemen.
👉 Je leest er alles over in Bericht-Id MC1134737 van het Berichtencentrum (laatst bijgewerkt 27 januari jl.) in je tenant. En in mijn blog:

One of the biggest problems with AI slop in open-source is how demoralizing it is for the actual maintainers to deal with that sh*t. Godot shows how parts of the ecosystem are on the verge of breakdown.

Their whole deal is basically “someone is gonna be the first to create God, might as well be the good guys not the bad guys.” And I think it’s reasonable to think that that’s the wrong thing to do. But my broader point is just that the industry is not homogenous on this stuff.
Like, the reason anthropic even exists is some people working at OpenAI went “hey man I think yall are going too fast and do not care about humans and their safety enough.” So they quit.
I fucking hate it when New Yorkers say shit about southern politicians. Fuck outta here! Do you want us to win or not
honestly, that is fair enough. I guess it makes sense that visibility for projects is better where there is the capacity to visit events and such.
and sorry if it sounded a bit condescending, I guess I am just a bit sad that things seem to be 'going so well' over in AT land.
the primary backend developer here is 
@gabbomangabboman the wafrn dev, I mostly dabble in frontend stuff; To my knowledge we already handle incoming Article activities but actually support a larger set of HTML tags than what is described in the relevant FEP published by the SWF. like this here red text
most importantly, thank you for reaching out.

I hate how classical music has gained the reputation of being inaccessible because of persistent elitism and gatekeeping around it. Enjoying the beauty of art doesn't require study, wealth or a suit. Don't take my word for it, try it out. Find five minutes of quiet - or a pair of headphones - close your eyes and enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiSSz0snWzA
I’m long overdue to share a reminder about omg.lol’s sponsorship program: https://home.omg.lol/info/sponsorships
We’ve had this setup in place for just over a year now, and it’s allowed us to welcome some really awesome people into our community. And we are all so much better off because of that diversity. ❤️

I don't think people here realized yet how much development has sped up in the "atmosphere*"
I fear for the future of the fediverse if we don't get our shit together in some key areas. The way the lexicon system over there allows interoperability between distinct types of data and interface is really showing now that the developer ecosystem is picking up.
*The network comprised of different stuff that uses AT Proto
@liaizonwakest ⁂ I absolutely agree. I think the client-first development environment for ATProto makes this kind of work extremely emergent.
As 
@tsyesikaTsyesìka said at FOSDEM in the Social Web Devroom, the ActivityPub social API ("C2S") is our equivalent to this programming interface. We need to get it kickstarted so we can build interesting social networking applications without having to build the server side, delivery, queuing, etc.
Claude Code を使っているといろいろガバガバすぎて、おいおい、 API_KEY がコードベースに含まれている状態でデプロイしろ、と言い始めるからたしなめないといけないし、 Antigravity で Gemini シリーズを使っていてもぐちゃぐちゃなコードを書く。実は Cursor で GPT-5.2-Codex を使っているのが効率は悪いが安全な感じはある。 Claude Code のコード変更を別の IDE で監視しておかないと危ない、というか、人間から見ると IDE の方が直感的だから、 commit のときにやっぱりコードベースを確認できないのは怖い。

i'm a linguistic prescriptivist. here is my prescription. 1. don't use capital letters unless you are inhabiting your worksona 2. if ur tired just use fewer ltrs its fine

"Two popular AES libraries, aes-js and pyaes, “helpfully” provide a default IV in their AES-CTR API" nope. nope nope nope
this isn't a "this is suboptimal" problem this is a "the encryption is completely pointless" problem
The map on the left impliedly includes Paris - Vienna. It is sadly not up-to-date, as older than the switch to the current timetable.
