…Those wind turbines are marvels of engineering but – tens to hundreds of kilometres offshore – I worry about their ability to be maintained in the increasingly hostile environment we’re diligently creating: stormier seas, stormier geopolitics, depleted stocks with which to make steel and neodymium and samarium-cobalt magnets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dnB6S8Wi10.
They were built for an up slope that isn’t coming back
@urlyman there are ways and means just as rigs in the various seas are looked after. Technology is getting better including maintenance and diagnostic tools.
🌩️ Google Cloud suspended major customer Railway.com without cause, causing outage
「 it took an hour for Google’s support team to engage 」
@jbz Was it actually a suspension? This sounds more like an outage on googles end than intentionally pulling them.
In August 1979, Northampton band Bauhaus released their debut single, the 9-and-a-half-minute 'Bela Lugosi's Dead'. This tune - about the Hungarian-American actor famous for playing Dracula - is seen as a foundational track in early goth rock. Some see it as the first true goth single, with The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees yet to go full on goth at that point. According to The Guardian, this song depicting "the funeral of the Dracula star, with bats swooping and virgin brides marching past his coffin ... was so irresistibly theatrical that dozens of bands formed in its wake." #WyrdWednesday #WorldGothDay #gothic #weird #folklore #film #music #vampire #vampires #mythology #rock

the thing that gets me about it is that it’s so obviously short-sighted— these tools rely on free, high-quality information to be updated (even if they are pooling from a huge initial set, information changes over time!) and that will dry up so quickly once even the slightest incentives to continue them go away https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116605858023186072
Howdy folks - I'm linking this again, since I still need responses.
I'm doing a Masters degree in software engineering, and my final dissertation is looking at the impact of Agile methodologies on developer productivity and wellbeing. Since this is for my final paper, I need as many responses as possible.
If you're a dev - retired, hobby, or employed - or know someone who is, please consider filling this out! It should only take about 15 minutes.
As of writing, I still need 30 responses to meet the minimum participation threshold for me to be allowed to write the actual paper, so if you can fill it in or send it to someone who might, I'd really, really appreciate it!

The dirty secret of expertise is that most experts in any field would rank their own profession's average competence somewhere between alarming and indictable
Agreed when it comes to mine, anyway.

@mttaggart that's a weird way of describing @ccc Chaos Communication Congress 🤣
Katherina Reiche hat das Heizungsgesetz in „Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetz“ umbenannt, kurz: „GMG“, was interessanterweise auch für „Gaslobbyistin Mag Gestern“ stehen könnte.
I have a lot going on right now, but one of the things I have going on right now is our new release of Outlaw! (originally known as Orochi or The Serpent.)
It's up now on New Ellijay Television https://vod.newellijay.tv/videos/watch/a333301a-d4c0-4673-9f1c-17e8f015a82e
With a modern score inspired by a spaghetti westerns, and new original narration.
@ajroach42 this looks badass. I can’t wait to watch it later. And I’m glad it’s on PeerTube so that I can. Otherwise I’d miss out.

@alelab I remember I bought it many, many years ago. I paid something like 29 euro.
1. It's funny this good doggo comes back every year
2. The Chinese is "搜爆犬", which vaguely translates to "search explosive dog"
3. There REALLY needs to be an essay talking about trends in English translation in China and what things look like in 2026 as opposed to 2009

In Yesterday's IO Keynote Google declared war on the remnants of the Web.
While they packaged it as a lot of "AI" talk what their whole approach of decontextualizing information, of taking away links to sources and instead producing some LLM generated response means is that they want to establish a new abstraction layer on the web. Where Zuckerberg with his Metaverse failed Google is starting the next attack: Your website, your work no longer matters.
Well it matters as (unpaid) raw material for their synthetic text extruders but not as cultural artifact you can share with others.
This is a literal revolution but one against the participatory web, against us: The goal is to take away the web and guide people into Google's abstraction on top of it. An abstraction they control and moderate. It's about monopolizing access to information.
If you care about the web, about people's ability to participate in it as more than mere passive consumers, this needs to be taken seriously. De-Googlifying your mental apparatus becomes more urgent today. Find other search engines, don't use their browser. Or wake up in a slopified AOL kind of environment.
