@rmondello for me, loading the shortcut failed repeatedly until I turned on my VPN and pretended I was in USA 😀

SS: This is not limited to MR papers - it is starting to become a widespread problem with open-access datasets. We need to shift from article count to research quality. Papers can be produced in 20 min - they lose their meaning. We need to shift away from counting paper metrics.

I'm sure other scifi shows have used Sonex Contour panels, too, but these are the two that I'm most familiar with

Why does our industry keep looking at things, claiming it's doing them, and doing the exact opposite of what the original idea was? A few examples:

Alan Kay (who coined the term) defined the key idea of object orientation as late bounding, so we ended up with a load of things that use rigid nominal type systems to tightly couple components, marketed as 'object oriented'.

The Agile Manifesto's core idea was 'people over process'. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen places claim they're using 'the agile methodology' because they have sprints, standups, and other processes taken from Agile.

The Zero Trust paper said, at its core, 'assume endpoints are compromised, design your systems so that an endpoint compromise doesn't automatically give control over everything', yet almost everything I've seen branding itself as Zero Trust has been of the form 'run some over-privileged thing on the endpoints to increase their attack surface, then if that thing reports that the endpoint isn't compromised allow it to do a load of things it shouldn't be allowed to do'.

The May Day parade was great and these photos are so, so, so very South Minneapolis I just can’t even tell you.

If you want to know where that MSP resistance came from, what soil it grew in and how it bloomed, you can get a lot of your answer by looking at each of these photos — the art, and the faces.

hey girl can i manage your package

è normale che l'Unione Europea sanzioni giornalisti come #HuseyinDogru, accusandoli di fare propaganda a un regime autocratico, con l'obiettivo di allinearli "agli obiettivi della politica estera e di sicurezza comune dell?UE"? E' questo il giornalismo libero?

@ParadeGrotesque @argv_minus_one we've also got First Contact Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Contact_Day

A Canadian who received a notice from Google saying U.S. Homeland Security was seeking information about his account alleges it's in retaliation for publishing anti-ICE posts online earlier this year.

This is the latest example of DHS allegedly seeking information about protesters, critics, and online posters.

Too bad, that #ghosttty will not be in #Debian any time soon, so neither will #ghostel 😞

Reason: We don't have #zig, and it doesn't look promising to me.

I'll stay with #eat and #vterm 🤷

I've spent years warning that the COVID "Lab Leak" idea had moved from "valid hypothesis" to "dangerous conspiracy theory." Last week, the Trump administration violently arrested a retired 78-year old scientist bc of his refusal to lie about COVID's natural origins https://skepchick.org/2026/05/trump-just-arrested-a-scientist-over-the-lab-leak/
