Waffles saw his shadow, so today's Snoozeday Tuesday will last an extra six weeks.

Ah yes, the Boy Scout Exemption
@DaveMWilburn One thing I'm curious about is how large a kickback recipients of the fund payments will have to send back to Trump. 40% seems fair, but I'm not sure what the going rate is these days.
@mattblaze @DaveMWilburn 40% is likely very low compared to what Trump will be demanding.

I love Nilsson, but didn't know this song.
Thanks Todd!
Migrating from OneNote? Joplin v3.6 makes it a lot smoother:
- .onepkg files now import on macOS and Linux
- Handwriting / ink import is significantly improved
- Large .one files with many attachments no longer fail
- Better fonts, links and PDF handling
Check what else is new in v3.6: https://joplinapp.org/news/20260505-release-3-6/
Kickstarter's apology for its hamfisted banning of more projects reflects a genuine problem of conservative fiscal censors:
> It means that at any point ... Stripe can still suspend a campaign that Kickstarter has approved. That's the reality of operating within a payment system we don't fully control.
I wish that there was a good solution to this, one which doesn't look like cryptocurrency.

It's a pretty decent and non-mealy-mouthed apology, to be fair. Quite refreshing in fact.
I am staggered by the sheer hugeness of this.
The #WelshGovernment has a policy of bilingualism. All meetings include translators, so that speakers of English or Welsh can participate equally. But every member of the Welsh Cabinet is a native speaker of #Cymraeg, so the Cabinet meetings will be held in their native lsnguage.
Imposing the #EnglishLanguage was a key component of the imperial project of Briritishness. But the tide has turned. 💚 🏴
When I do a web search, I do not want Google to go to the websites for me, pull the information, and interpret it for me. I want it to give me a list of websites that I can read and evaluate myself because AI is frequently wrong: https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/google-search-as-you-know-it-is-over/
@evacide at my work if you use Edge or Chrome, an admin policy prevents changing the search engine from Chrome. I can't really use Firefox because 1) Threatlocker prevents me from installing extensions and 2) admin policies prevent me from copying text out of Service Now and other apps.
I've been lobbying for awhile to allow us to change search engines so hopefully this gets that moving.
@paninid You know, I think I might just take them up on that offer. My school just responded to a massive scandal that required firing the coach (who lost his mind) and we responded by hiring... a 66 year old white Mormon from Utah who hasn't made his political affiliations clear but is BIG ANGRY at the music of Bruce Springsteen and Bono for "reasons."
I could maybe live with just not caring about college football too.
I like how Openvibe is just a broken mess these days.
It's too bad that LLM grifters sought to shine their reputation by calling it "AI".
It didn't shine their reputation.
It ruined the world's opinion of the fascinating & legitimate science -- and remarkably creative uses -- of actual artificial intelligence.
Hell
｢ Instead of returning a simple list of links, Google Search will drop users into AI-powered interactive experiences at times. Google is also introducing tools that can dispatch “information agents” to gather information on a user’s behalf, along with tools that let users build personalized mini apps tailored to their needs ｣

Change of plans for this week, and I apologise for moving things around. I was supposed to get back to #Fedilab mid week for the 3.40.2 release, but I will postpone it. I am very focused on #HolosSocial at the moment, and stopping now to come back a few days later would cost too much in context switching, both in time and in concentration. Fedilab 3.40.2 will follow right after the next #Holos milestone (end of the week). (1/5)
sarebbe bello se oltre a prevedere e mitigare/intercettare il comportamento stupido dell’utente (stupido?) con la soluzione tecnica si puntasse anche alla formazione.
ma la soluzione tecnica costa meno, richiede meno risorse, fa fare bella figura più alla svelta.
magari in questo caso faranno entrambi.
@pgo_lemmy "stupido" o "malevolo"! Mi spiego meglio: una soluzione professionale deve garantire che le informazioni non possano venire compromesse né per stupidità né per deliberato tradimento.
"From his #tariff jamborees to his daft warmongering, #Trump’s caprices have now thoroughly degraded daily life in these United States, bringing us high #inflation, rising gas prices, and sluggish economic growth. It further turns out that siccing a masked and armed police force on expats, foreign nationals, and immigrants demoralizes a nation and squeezes the labor supply." https://newrepublic.com/article/210588/trump-economy-bad-vibes-numbers
