Good idea or bad: a small cheap device, for reclaiming spaces from invasive #surveillance tech such as #Meta's pervert glasses.
When brought close enough to said device, selected tech gets blocked or bricked making the space free once again.
I am so tired of journalists' digital Puritanism.
I know more than one smart man who lives without a newspaper.

@BjornW "a bit less user-friendly", why??
@gutenberg_org mostly due to the design. Tried it with relatives (not so digital savvy). They found Project Gutenberg's website overwhelming compared to Standard Ebooks' website.
Nonetheless the contents are awesome & you've been doing an amazing job for so many years! So please consider my remark as constructive feedback.
Help us name this little princess! 🖤 What name do you think suits her?
And while you’re here, how old was your cat when you got them?

Apparemment, pour les mascus fachos, donner un orgasme aux femmes c'est "gay". 🤷♂️
Are the straights ok ?

@sebsauvage c'est les mêmes qui pensent que c'est gay de se torcher l'arrière train ? ^^"

Do you think the appreciation of, and fascination with, ghost signs is a form of 'nagori' as explained here?
Reminds me of the artist, whose name I can't remember, who installed a frame filled with freshly cut roses — the beauty was to be found in the decay/transition, much like the turning of the leaves in autumn.
That's an interesting thought. It could be.
The examples I read were about events, passages in life, and not specific items altered through time and entropy. But if that entropy marks a feeling or a sensation for a person, then the savoring of it would be Nagori.
Again, I'm not a linguist or an authority on Japanese language. I just find it cool that a sensation many of us have experienced has been identified and named in a culture.
I forgot what I set my name to on my smartwatch until today. 🥲
@PixelProphecy Happy bday!

> My take on generative AI has pretty rapidly gone from a tentative, “it sucks and I hate it, but after the bubble pops, there might be a few very specific use cases for it, like with programming,” to a vehemently zero-tolerance stance. It’s all garbage, burn it down.
So... the major thing missing from my milter (ryoms) is bayesian filtering. I originally planned to use linfa, because it has not only a bayes model, but a vectorizer too, and I thought that'd be a great help.
Unfortunately, while I can update the training of the model, I can't update the vectorizer, not without great trouble. Great trouble that pretty much amounts to writing my own vectorizer to begin with.
And in that case, I might aswell use smartcore, because it has a more convenient API.
Al final saqué un rato y volví a reconstruir (más o menos) la historia que quería contar en el blog: El cerebro, un narrador muy hábil

#DoeiDag tip: ik hou van lezen & download regelmatig Engelstalige #PublicDomain boeken voor op mn PocketBook #ereader.
Zonder Kobo of Amazon kun je dan toch heel makkelijk gratis legaal boeken lezen.
De prettigste website voor Engelstalige boeken is @standardebooks Standard Ebooks:
Een andere die wat minder prettig werkt, maar ook Nederlandstalige #PubliekDomein
#boeken heeft is @gutenberg_org Project Gutenberg:

Jouw tips?
