🇪🇺 How many languages do you speak?
From everyday expressions to words that capture an idea or feeling in a way your own language doesn’t, languages give us different ways to understand and connect with the world.
Today, we celebrate Europe’s linguistic diversity and the 24 official languages of the EU. 🇪🇺
What’s your favourite one?
@EUCommission No teniu ni idea de què coi és la diversitat. Ni el respecte. Ni la justícia. Ni la igualtat. Ni la fraternitat.

in related news, there’s ads on my bananas now.
Of course: the more positive spin on this is that the tooling for Rust and Gleam is just *that incredible*!
I don’t doubt anyone involved with OCaml tooling isn’t working hard. Modernizing a legacy system is probably a very hard thing to do.

"Scenario 1, the dream that is possible: Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is reelected and Congress changes hands
This is the best we can hope for in our current context. A president who, despite all criticisms that can and should be leveled at him, is committed to Brazil, democracy, and people’s rights; a Congress with a significant portion of its deputies and senators committed to protecting Nature and Nature’s peoples, addressing the climate collapse, upholding the rights of humans and other species, ensuring equal access to health care, education, and other public benefits, and enforcing a vision of security that prioritizes prevention over State violence—deputies and senators committed to caring for future generations."

"Scenario 2, a nightmare: Lula is reelected, but Congress remains dominated by the forces of destruction
In this scenario, the dynamics would stay the same. Lula would have a minority in Congress and suffer one legislative defeat after another, even though matters that depend primarily on the Executive branch might be safe. Congress would be ruled by forces favorable to deforestation of the Amazon and other biomes, the predatory exploitation of Nature, the weakening of rights, the dismantling of public health and education, a vision of security based on violence against Black and poor people, and actions that produce global heating—deputies and senators more concerned with defending their own personal profit and the interests of the corporations and economic groups that finance their campaigns than supporting the common good."
ah yes, here we are. the largest companies in the world releasing a flagship product they are betting their entire competitiveness on that is built on bash scripts that have hardcoded string interpolation python scripts and in fact hardcoded string interpolated bash scripts that seems to be the machinery that manages runaway agent spawning and concurrency.
edit: this is the bring-up routine that allows the agent to persistently modify the image it runs in which is even more awesome.

The scourge of modern UI design is “Dribbble Brain.” Clarity and the psychology of human-computer interaction is being rejected in favor of things that just kinda “look cool.”
There is a whole demographic of influential people who don’t think things like visual hierarchy or predictability matter. A UI “works” as long as it’s *possible* to do the things you want. Nevermind making it easy, consistent, or communicating to the user *how* to do those things.
@rolle Mistä graafi peräisin? 🙂
@jopa Itse tehty. Minulla on kevyt botti, joka katsoo ketä tulee somessa vastaan ja laittaa numeron perään.
[offre 1 place de théâtre en ma compagnie ce samedi soir à Paris]
C'est la 1ère fois que je lance une invitation originale comme ça. Je me retrouve avec 1 place, contiguë à la mienne, ce soir 21h Théâtre des Bouffes Parisiens, Oh les beaux jours, de Samuel Beckett (avec Catherine Frot).
Personne de mes proches dispo. Alors j'ai pensé à Masto ;)
On est à h-4 mais sait-on jamais !
Si intéressé-e me contacter par MP.
@framaka
J'espère qu'il y aura un'e chanceuxse!!
"Scenario 3, a catastrophe: Flávio Bolsonaro wins and secures a majority in Congress
If this happens, we will experience something similar to the Jair Bolsonaro administration (2019-2022) but in a much worse context domestically, given the Supreme Court’s internal fragility, and, at a global level, heavily influenced by the administration of Donald Trump, who seeks to turn Latin America into his playground.
Flávio Bolsonaro has already demonstrated that if elected, he will accept Trump’s tutelage. Bolsonaro junior would consequently be in a much more favorable position than his father to finish destroying democracy.
There is only one way for Brazil to remain a democracy, however imperfect: by reelecting Lula and voting in a more progressive Congress."

@luca du hast 28,8 kWp?! Was isn das für ne Monsteranlage? O.o
Bei mir ist meine 4,7 kWp schon überdimensioniert und ich bin mit 9,6 kWh Akkukapazität 85% des Jahres komplett autark.
@spucky Dach voll. Damit stelle ich genug Energie für drei weitere Haushalte zur Verfügung.
Ich hab bei meinem Interview mit Stephanie (@ueckueck) noch einiges darüber gelernt, wie Reichweite im Fediverse funktioniert und was die Vorteile großer Server sind.
Schaut am Wochenende doch mal rein!
Tipp: Funktioniert auch gut als Audio-only-Podcast. 🎧

Hat super doll Spaß gemacht <3 Liebs auch, wie du so viele Fragen vorbereitet hast und wir uns so verquatscht haben, dass wir nur einen Bruchteil behandelt haben.
Wir sind die Sozialstaatsretter*innen! Rund 175.000 Menschen waren heute in 15 Städten auf der Straße. – Für eine Rente, die zum Leben reicht! Für gute Arbeit! Für bezahlbare Mieten und Energie! DANKE für euren Einsatz! #HartVerdient
In der aktuellen Debatte um mögliche Berliner Regierungen wären Transparenzhinweise wünschenswert, welche Politiker:innen, Expert:innen und Journalist:innen Eigeninteresse durch Verbindungen zur Immobilienwirtschaft und/oder Besitz und Vermietung von Eigentumswohnungen haben.
NEW: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards.
One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled.
