Comme je me rends compte que peu de gens connaissent autour de moi, je me permets de présenter Anna's Archive (même si on est sur mastodon et que vous êtes des nerds).

C'est un agrégateur de "bibliothèques clandestines" qui permet l'accès à de millions de livres au format numérique, notamment de la littérature scientifique.

C'est probablement un des projets culturels les plus importants de l'humanité pour l'accès aux livres, à égalité avec la bibliothèque publique.

Tricky onderwerp idd. Aan de ene kant heb je de wapenlobby die het laaghangend fruit en de bergen met geld al kunnen ruiken, en politici die liefst een autoritaire veiligheidsstaat willen uitbouwen "voor ons aller bestwil".

En dan heb je een nieuwe wereldorde, waarin niet alleen een veel grotere oorlogsdreiging is, maar tevens ook de grote wereldmacht waarvan we ons zo afhankelijk hebben gemaakt naar het fascisme afglijdt en de EU tot haar enige tegenstander heeft verklaard in haar Nationale Veiligheidsbeleid. Ik kan me voorstellen dat je dan in het geheim een transitie wil maken om die afhankelijkheden te verkleinen, zonder slapende honden wakker te maken.

I ended up going with #Pachli - https://pachli.app/

No grouped notifications, and the colour scheme isn't quite to my taste - but I can swipe between columns, scrolling is pretty smooth, it supports quote-posts, and registers as a share target on Android.

Might send a few PRs if I can remember how to write Java 😆

@null I guess it’s both side overall. Suica is also stored-value card, so can process faster?

But then maybe they reduce the range for CC to prevent conflict? 🤔

This 2020 paper is a good and reasonably up to date history of Emacs Lisp.

Il y a quand meme des évolutions stylistique intéressantes chez les étudiants comme ce

I don’t know if any SuperGold card holders follow me but this discount is even better at Noel Leeming (where I used to work). There it is cost + 10%, which can be huge, particularly on accessories and small appliances, the latter of which sometimes have 50% markup in the retail price!

@oleksii I sometimes get asked why not Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, etc. My answer: that's why.

If you were to ask me, I'd much rather prefer source only on the server and bash for everything 😂

It's not about the tech itself, but rather how you build, document and manage it. It's best to focus on the tools you're most experienced with.

In solidarity with #AutisticiInventati.

Please join us in signing the open letter and send it to your representatives: inventati.org/campaign/open_...

A/I's mission has always been clear, and for more than twenty years it has inspired generations of hackers and activists in Italy and around the world: "Socializzare saperi senza fondare poteri." Sharing knowledge without establishing power.

That is what the US is attacking, and that is what is at stake today.

The premise of these sanctions, that whoever provides communications infrastructure answers for whatever anyone does with it, would criminalise and shut down most Big Tech platforms tomorrow if applied equally.

Instead it is aimed at grassroots services who refuse to surveil their users.

We condemn these sanctions, and we stand firmly with solidarity tech like A/I. Antifascism and anticapitalism are not terrorism.

It says it all about the ethical values of the combatants in the Ukraine war that Ukraine is striking oil refineries while Russia is attacking libraries and publishers.

@tante I understand but it was meant as an honest concern though, triggered by the reactions to this post https://mastodon.social/@Meyerweb/117193874445529637 that you boosted.

The reason I mentioned you is because you are the most vocal in my timeline against AI, and I appreciate most of your posts. My apologies for the passive-aggresive tone, it was unintentional.

My honest question: aren't you worried the critics will loose credibility by claiming that AI still can't code?

@mgrinder @simoncozens Well, he was indeed a kindly old CS professor. I saw him once giving a talk about “the birth of the giant component” — intriguing start, but then it went *way* over my head. His demeanor was kind, graceful, unpretentious. A comparison with Richard Stallman, who also once gave a talk at my university, is left as an exercise for the reader.

@bebna I don't have 800 friends to test it with.
It worked well with 10 people. But I don't think I've been in any group chat that large before.

The EU 🇪🇺 spends ~€264 billion a year on IT, mostly proprietary, cementing exactly the vendor lock-in and dependencies.

Its Tech Sovereignty Package positions #FreeSoftware a "first" principle for the upcoming Cloud and AI Development Act #CADA. Now it needs to be binding, not just a suggestion.

"Redirecting even half of the money spent on proprietary lock-in to Free Software would boost European tech sovereignty"
