Il #GarantePrivacy garantisce troppo e viola il #GDPR
Il TAR ha stabilito che il Garante si è macchiato di inosservanza del principio di proporzionalità e trasparenza
TIL that people mix text and binary in the same file quite regularly.
@andrewnez
like uncompressed tar?
@jamesb I trust that he believes that. Which isn't quite the same thing.
@savetz @textfiles @bitsavers do you have any influence at the Internet Archive to have them reconsider this appalling misstep?

@Edent I never drank one, but it looks like that's what it tastes like.
@jtwcornell91 YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY DRINK ONE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

@djsundog I'm leaving it at the makerspace. On the shelf by the door. it's Heavy as fuck. Broke the pillar the mailbox was on, lol.
C.J. Cherryh ( and @MichaelWhelan ) DRM free bundle!
I've never been so quick about buying and downloading a bundle!
On the Fediverse I learned many of my favorite covers for many of my favorite books are from the same artist ( thank you Michael! ) and he's still doing amazing new work ( his Christmas card is a trip )
Now we can get a bunch of that in a bundle

Nothing quite like a padded envelope absolutely full of steel bars.
Nothing will make your postal worker hate you like a USPS plate rate envelope full of 1 inch square, foot long steel bars.
@malwaretech Fair enough. Your first reply said the cause doesn't matter, conclusion stands regardless. Your second says proving the cause matters. I'm only asking which one you wanted to write.
@flyingpenguin the cause doesn't matter to the argument, but you're also wrong about the cause. Two things can independently be true at the same time. Those arguments don't overlap in any way, one does not refute the other.
What library/tool are people using for code block syntax highlighting/formatting these days?
My blog has code chunks here and there in posts and my rendering is pretty crappy. I need to update my CSS first, but if there's a syntax plugin (using an HTML attribute maybe?), that would also be cool.
@brianb https://highlightjs.org/ works great with static sites too. You can also self host it

How is it possible that so many people can no longer tell these are AI-generated videos? For example, why would so many people just stand still and film - what, exactly? There is always that uncanny, adult-like behavior in children. It is creepy.
Unfortunately, we might soon see a world where we cannot tell the difference just by visual realism or quality, but the most telling signs remain: do humans really act like that? What is the point of it? Is everything way too good - or too bad - to be true? And so on.
@rolle "No clickbait. No noise. Just verified news and informed analysis." they say. 🤔
@teajaygrey glad you like it, but consider this, bsd 4.2 shipped with vi and yet we were being told how to use the one which didn't paint the terminal with your file, just the line...though clearly (and I hadn't thought about that), even editing the current line was something a real TTY can't do
- Dept CS: ved editor done by them and/or Manchester uni
- Dept AI: micro emacs ((its lispy after all))
- EE dept: something an iteration behind what came with the OS
I had been accustomed to line editors long before I encountered vi and BSDs. I can't claim to use vi still (or derivatives, e.g. vim, nvi2 [which I wish were more prevalent given my second language is Japanese]) because I prefer it so much as: it's usually there. ;)
The SysOp/admin in me tends to prefer things which are low on consuming clockcycles and memory utilization, so I never cultivated much of a taste for emacs (and variants).
Perhaps my most despised editors were on (Open)VMS where I learned, the hard way, of DCL (DEC Command Language)'s awful implicit command completion (an anti-pattern AmigaDOS also had), so when I would type: "ls" it would invoke lse (Language Sensitive Editor) which took seconds (perhaps in excess of 10) to load. My first college (carleton.edu) also defaulted to some other in-line editor for their email client, which failed to line wrap correctly. On screen: lines would wrap, yet that was an illusion, and buffers would overflow if the characters exceeded some arbitrary amount (probably 256 characters? It was decades ago and I no longer remember precisely, so much as learning that lesson, very painfully and learning to be mindful of CR/LF to make sure the buffers were written out rather than overflowing after paragraphs of text had been lost into the void).
I do not think I ever encountered em when it was in active use, and I lament that I only was able to create a MacPort for it after its author's passing. Truly tragic timing.

It tastes of bad choices and regret.

You know, honestly, more than monetary donations, if somebody worked at a company that had access to a lot of 18 terabyte and larger hard drives and could talk to us, that's where we are really suffering. The internet archive has no special priority in buying hard drives and those things are insane.
@textfiles why would anyone waste donations with your organization that has decided to actively collaborate with the destruction of digital media, the opposite of its stated mission?
It feels a little embarrassing that I could speed up URL (percent) encoding in #curl 500% with this: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/22780
@bagder
oh, so the compiler wasn't vectorizing the char-by-char loop you had, so you switched to using memcpy/memchr whole batches of non-special characters because the compiler can vectorize the inside of those?
