In #Denemarken heeft een man bij het aanleggen van een terras in zijn tuin de grootste bekende #zilverschat uit de #Vikingtijd ontdekt. De schat bestaat uit 700 voorwerpen en fragmenten uit de 10e eeuw, en omvat #zilverstaven, armbanden, 47 complete munten en muntfragmenten, een kleine hamer van de god Thor, en diverse geslepen zilveren voorwerpen uit een aardewerken pot. De schat weegt bijna 18,5 kilogram. (Foto’s: © North Jutland Museums / Nordjyske Museer)

@thomasfuchs xAI must hurt lol
I need more LLMisms to use in actual focused idea-dense writing.
* em dashes
* three of things
* it's not X, it's Y
what others?
these are normal basic rhetoric tricks that the chatbot has overlearnt and applies to zero-content writing. but i feel like being annoying.
@davidgerard mixed metaphors
Functional PCB art from the 60s. It's likely a 3 decade count from 0 to 999. I assume it was for lab equipment but I'm not sure. I only know it's made in France, likely by someone who worked at Intertechnique.
Apologies for the hasty pictures, there will be better ones once the board is installed in a museum (spoiler alert?).
The privesc path used by FalconFlank is a known issue. The exploited scheduled task and DLLs have been around for a minute.
What's that again about search order not being a security issue?
This is from May 2025.
@mttaggart unquoted service paths, DLL hijacking, lib hijacking, scheduled talk hijacking, AV/EDR exclusion abuse. This is Just the stuff I’ve personally done off the top of my head by taking advantage of search orders. I’m sure there’s more.

Once popular for attacking AI, ASCII smuggling is embraced by spammers
A once-overlooked block of unicode that's invisible to humans is gaining ever wider use.

This guy in SF makes some of the best baklava I've had anywhere in the world (incl in Turkey, Syria, Lebanon..)
Here he's being interviewed about how he does what he does, and how it's hard doing something so labor-intensive in a city flush with AI money
Everything he does (from the flour he uses to the types of pistachios) is extremely obsessive, every time I have some I am very thankful to people like him.

@siracusa Did you not consider the 3rd party SSD upgrade option this time? I think you discussed it when they first hit the market in 2024 or so. The aftermarket 8TB SSD is like $1k.
@jankais3r I will definitely consider it, but it takes a while before third-party upgrades appear for new models, and I had to order now.
(Also, I don’t relish the idea of prying the Mac Studio open. It’s no Mac Pro when it comes to gaining access without removing glue and seals.)
Here's a useful tool for that. You can select different rule sets, but mostly the default works well.
@aerofreak @Enea90 using sentence case is actually a deliberate choice on my part.
I am fully aware that there are many title case titles on YouTube, but news channels like CNN use sentence case, and I agree with that choice. To me, it feels more like a news headline, so it seems more like a news paper article.
Also, since I always have an all caps title on the thumbnail, it works well with the sentence case contrast on the text title — it looks more like a subtitle to the all caps title.

@iain oh, people have. for decades. mostly women and queer folk.
people who speak out are seen as ruining "the fun"
if they hit a nerve, they can expect to be harassed and exposed to violence for years, if not decades
they can expect that their "peers" in the tech industry will belittle them and talk about them behind their backs, and refuse to involve them in projects
they can expect to be blackballed and lose their tech careers
please ask me how I know
Terwijl de redactie van Apache volop bezig is met de voorbereiding voor de overstap van Google Workspace naar Nextcloud, mocht onze redacteur Jan Walraven in de podcast Tijdstof meer vertellen over onze plannen en over de moeilijke beslissingen en vraagstukken die daarbij komen kijken.

Pues a nivel visual es muy bonito, a nivel performance me sigue haciendo falta XMonad. Creería que lo mas parecido a BSPWM es River, al menos el River-classic:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/River-classic
Se configura con el lenguaje que mas te guste, al estilo BSPWM.
Hyprland en sus últimas versiones se configura con LUA, lo cual yo prefiero en lugar de los ficheros de configuración.
I am shopping around for attorneys to sue a couple businesses over their use of AI and automated voice customer service.
Due to my Parkinson's Plus, MSA, I have speech issues and over this past month, at multiple businesses, I haven't been able to get past their AI customer service loop to speak to a human because the AI can't understand me.
I even made an #ADA request for a human worker to the AI prompt.
I am going to sue to try to force their AI to understand an ADA prompt, or offer one, to bypass the AI/voice only customer support and directly connect to a human. #AI
One issue is, I talk slow and deliberate because I have to get the words out and some phrases are slower than others and AI customer support is too impatient to wait and moves on mid-sentence, not understanding my request
@paul Best of luck, and ye gads, keep this thread pinned/share it with them for evidence! Even for people without speech challenges, AI transcription/interpretation over telephony/VOIP is an absolute mess. My phone notifies me of messages by transcribing them for me and they're usually incomprehensible. And it's endangering lives in clinical care contexts. This is bigger than just you. In Ontario, I'd consider it grounds for at a bare minimum a Human Rights Tribunal filing.
Hey!
Do you have any recs you'd like to make for bandcamp friday?
I have a small amount of budget set aside for buying music.
I'd like the bulk of it to go to an artist.
If you have a Faircamp or Bandcamp recommendation you'd like to make, I'd like to hear it.
I like blues, garage rock, 60s psych, and sci-fi shit.
I'll buy the first few I enjoy, and I'll boost things.
I'm more interested in #faircamp recs than #bancamp recs, because a faircamp rec is always going to support an artist directly and a bandcamp rec is only going to support an artist directly today, but I'll take either.
@ajroach42 You've seen my thread, but highly recommend
Anyway solution for 1Password problem is straightforward
- Patch ChiPass (no-AI fork of KeePassXC) to support VaultWarden syncing protocol
- Develop a socioeconomic system capable of supporting a team of 3-5 people to do ongoing security response, UI design and multiplatform mobile app development without ruining literally everything in a quest for ever-expanding growth and illusory short-term efficiencies
- Apply said functioning socioeconomic system to ChiPass
