Conduent's handling of its data breach has been truly shit, refusing to say how many people are affected, or how the breach occurred.
Conduent hid its breach notice with "noindex" code, so you won't see the page in search results. The breach notice doesn't even *mention* a breach!

I do love having an effective bilangue MC. I hope people watching online are learning about what it's like in a bilingual city like Montreal!
Missed opportunity when someone asks a question about age verification and says "explain it to me like I'm 5".
@cwebber@social.coop: Data centers represent a centralization of power. We should be doing the complete opposite, this is what we're working on at the Spritely Institute
@box464@mastodon.social is doing another live stream in parallel here:

最近読んだ本が生成文法の真逆っぽい雰囲気でおもしろかったです
『言語はこうして生まれる―「即興する脳」とジェスチャーゲーム―』

"People are co-participants in the distribution of messaging. Which is something the Fediverse has."
"If data isthe new oil, then data centers are the new pipelines."
"Where are the centralization points of our technology?"
"Data centers are a centralization of power."
Incredible pull quotes from 
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber.
性格がめんどくさいので多分結婚できない
生成文法の本ちょろっと読んでんだけど、なんか肌に合わないからやめるか。言語の仕組みってもっと柔軟なもんだと勝手に思ってるんだけど、読んでる本によれば言語における特定の規則が成り立つ/成り立たないが理論的に定まるっぽい言い方をしていて、それはその分野ではそうなのかもしれないけどなんか、今の俺には納得できないので、恐らくはもっと手前の段階で読むべき本があるんだろう。

It would be so hard for me to pick one Miyazaki film as my favorite. I love them all so much. But if you put a gun to my head and forced me, KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE would be a strong contender.
This seems like a good time for a reminder that when COVID hit in 2020 and everyone was living via Zoom Studio Ghibli released a bunch of images from their movies for free use as virtual meeting backgrounds, and those backgrounds are still up and free for you to use

So, do you dislike the Nazi bar newsletter site and want to know when some innocent looking link is going there? Here's some CSS for you, which you can add to an extension such as Stylus¹:
a[href*="substack.com"]::after {
content: " [SUBSTACK]";
font-weight: bolder;
}
Modifications of the text are up to you, such as inclusion of the emoji of your choice. You can also use more aggressive CSS if you want, there's probably a way to make the <a> disappear.

It’s 2026, so I am legally obligated to write a blog post about AI.
“I am a programmer. Just like I’m a father and a husband and a son and a friend. It’s not something I do, it’s something that is fundamental to the core of my being. Like overly dramatic phrasing.”
