@ErikUden Es steht den Abgeordneten aber frei gegen ein Gesetz zu stimmen, wenn die Dokumente dazu zu spät kommen, um sie angemessen zu lesen oder zu diskutieren.

Zu Koalitionsausschuss, Fraktionsdisziplin und Auswirkungen auf die Demokratie hat @BlumeEvolution sehr informative Beiträge geschrieben.

How the brain of a fly may help explain human behaviour.
Scientists have managed to compare the fine detail of the brains of male and female flies for the first time, identifying differences they say explain male aggression, courtship and their singing of love songs.

WE DID IT. WE WON. 💜✊

Wikimedia Foundation workers voted 158 YES to 14 NO: 91.9% of ballots cast, with 81% turnout.

We’re so proud of everyone who built this union, and this win belongs to our whole community. We could not have done it without the solidarity of Wikimedia volunteers.

This is just the beginning. We stand with our UK siblings in their recognition process now, and with future organizing efforts across WMF’s global workforce. 🌍
[union needed]

@soffronoff It happens over cellular too. No idea what the deal is (and so far, no one I’ve been able to reach at Apple does either).

@aparrish That feels EXTRAORDINARILY difficult, no? like especially, /every/ commit?

... hmm, in like a Release Notes listing, what might be some examples of "Forkability improvement: ..." the was release notes often have "Feature: ..." or "Bugfix: ..." or "Documentation: ..." ?

In case you're not familiar with this particular cartoon from Wondermark ...

@cstross @adaliabooks or, as one of my characters puts it: a modern military is a logistics company with an impressive security department.

Don't worry, you're discovering the secret of terminal emulation: nobody actually understands any of it 🤣

It's legacy hacks built on legacy hacks built on a workaround for a historical accident, with another workaround added because the first workaround became a de facto standard.

You're probably doing great. Welcome to terminal development!

The problem is that while most of the time these people fizzle out on their own, once in a blue moon they show up to try to "settle things in person" or whatever. That never works out well for them, but it's helpful for there to be a well documented record on file with campus security.

@malwaretech agreed. I crank through meetings with hundreds of companies on these points, as I hear from ciso who get a lot of bad pressure. maybe your post will do us all some good.

we have to ask why is the marketing so much more effective than the anti marketing? my presentations since 2012 warned it's becoming our industry Loch Ness, and yet here we are. the people selling Nessie don't want us to prove the lie.

should also point out generative code tools came well before the start you say. GitHub Copilot was public preview June 2021 and GPT-3 API dropped waitlist in November 2021. full year before ChatGPT. DALL-E 2, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion also were 2022. so that start date reads off by a year or more.

@fribbledom you forgot ... wrapping around images.

I found this bumblebee asleep in a freesia flower this morning. I didn't know they did that. It's gone now, so I guess it woke up and got on with its day.

How you help and protect your neighbours is how they will help and protect you. 😁

"Hand washes hand and we all rise together." :D

"Word wrapping is easy. Just count characters and split on spaces, right?"

Sure.

Until you account for Unicode grapheme clusters, terminal cell width, combining characters, ZWJ, emoji, CJK, tabs, ANSI sequences, OSC 8 hyperlinks, indentation, hard/soft breaks, unbreakable words, hyphenation, and trailing whitespace.

And then a scrollbar enters the chat.

Easy.

@dangillmor being serious though, the z fold 8 looks exactly like the leaks of the new Apple phone. And they’re supplying the panels so they know the dimensions of Apple’s . Samsung may have rushed theirs out first but it’s not much of a stretch to think they released this as a direct response to Apple.

Architecturally, the background task is an instance of Firefox running in a special background mode, not a separate tool. This allows it to leverage existing functionality in Firefox, including the existing update code, but also keep acceptable performance characteristics for a background task by controlling and limiting the parts of Firefox that are loaded.

It's on! It wasn't dead dead, just standby dead.

It's still running AOSP though, and I don't have the dongle to flash things.

But Sundog has one at the office, so I'll borrow it tomorrow.
