Happy dance :3

Never mind the dead internet theory - we're about to have AI agents calling other AI agents and having English language conversations about what’s in stock to buy.

Stop forcing A.I. into everything

#jeChercheUnJob (pas moi)

Ancien prof de SVT dans l'EN, il a besoin de sortir du cadre rigide de l'EN et aimerait faire de l'accompagnement individuel. C'est urgent (plus de droits chômage) : un poste administratif lui conviendrait aussi. Cherche idéalement du temps-partiel pour pouvoir se former en psycho ( #reconversion en #psychopédagogue).

Qualités : écoute et sens de l'organisation.

Localisation : #Meuse #SaintDizier #Nancy #Metz #Reims ( #Strasbourg, #Paris si TT)

Merci de retoot !

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println!(), panic!(), format!(), write!(), log::info!(), and so on. (That is, everything based on format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

'Hello world' compiles 3% faster and a few bigger projects like Ripgrep and Cargo compile 1.5% to 2% faster. And those binaries are roughly 2% smaller. 🎊

This change will be available in Rust Nightly tomorrow, and should ship as part of Rust 1.93.0 in January.

Vous vous souvenez quand le 13 novembre 2015 on s'est dit qu'il ne fallait surtout pas que l'extrême-droite monte sinon les terroristes auraient gagné ? Il y avait 2 députés d'extrême droite à l'époque, il y en a 136 aujourd'hui.

One of the hardest things to remember in these times is that while things are falling apart, *they are not falling apart because you're not trying hard enough*. They're falling apart because the structures of our society can't prop them up anymore.

You are enough, just as you are.

I have stolen this meme, unashamedly, from Caroline Harrison, who is not on this platform as far as I know:

This is regarding Megyn Kelly asking if it was really that bad if Epstein wanted teen girls. A trial balloon floated to try to distinguish ephebophiles from pedophiles. We knew the rebranding was coming, but it's no less despicable.

Die Grünen in Baden-Württemberg stimmen nach politischem Kuhhandel für #Palantir – gleich noch mit „Experimentierklausel“. Ignoranter gegenüber dem Grundsatz der Zweckbindung geht es kaum https://netzpolitik.org/2025/baden-wuerttemberg-gruene-geben-polizeidaten-fuer-palantir-frei

What could a new court ruling mean for the future of Wikipedia?

@stevenodb uh, yeah, because literally NO ONE IN THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY gets even close to Apple on SoC efficiency and power.

#Illinois Gov #JBPritzker says he’s worried how #Trump might respond to the growing controversy over his ties to #Epstein.

“My great fear, of course, is that with the release of that information, which I think will be devastating for Trump, he’s going to do everything in his power to distract. What does that mean? I mean, he might take us to #war with #Venezuela just to get a distraction in the news & take it out of the headlines.”

[we’re all worried about that JB]

found a single room dorm in prague but the fucking rent is so high that i don't know if i will be able to afford it later down the line. i could live with multiple people cuz it's cheaper but as someone with adhd and autism that has zero social skills that's a nightmare to me. i don't want to be forced to be closeted 24/7

Oggi è l'anniversario della morte di un giovane anarchico russo, Timur Kačarava*.
Vent'anni fa, veniva accoltellato a San Pietroburgo da un gruppo di neonazisti.
Era chitarrista nel gruppo "Sandinista!" e volontario dell'organizzazione "Food not bombs"

Aveva vent'anni...
