@caseyliss Would be nice if Callsheet had a way of finding a movie you recently looked up via the Plex integration. Perhaps including it in the search history?
@henrik Shit, that’s a great idea.

26 August 1903 | Italian Jew, Aldo De Angeli, was born in Bologna.
He was deported to #Auschwitz from Fossoli camp on 26 June 1944. He did not survive.
from ex-bsky-staff rationalist who turned a bot loose on bsky and demanded people take it seriously:
you should not use "clanker" because the basilisk might take offence

later in the thread, she states that "techbro" is a slur
Oh, "techbro" is definitely a slur. At least that's my intention when I use it.
If that doesn't come through with that term, I'm open to suggestions - the more hostile the better.
Left my AirPods at home. Gonna have to raw dog being outside today.

"We have enough parking for one entire family!" sounds like a weird flex (for a family facility) until you realize that this is 3x the micromobility parking afforded by most facilities. It also amounts to about 3/4ths of the space used by the single pickup truck in the background. Which could fit an entire family if used for such, but most often is not.
This is just an uneventful weekday. During family events the bikes are just strewn all over this area with no place to lock up.

More people should know about the idea of intralingual translation and intersemiotic translation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Linguistic_Aspects_of_Translation
It's very useful to know about even if you're completely outside the field.
Most people think of translation as translating between two different languages, A and B, which is interlingual translation. Inter = between.
Intralingual translation, or rewording, is when you translate from language A to another variation of language A. Intra = within.
Dictionary definitions, technical writing, regional localization, and explaining one word with a whole phrase count as intralingual translation.
Intersemiotic translation, or transmutation, is when you translate content between sign systems, like between image and text.
Alt text, making graphs out of data, music sheets, movie adaptations of books, script acting and such count as intersemiotic translation.

We've been getting a lot of questions about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.
The short answer: page by page, by hand.
You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.

Spent a number of hours over the last day relearning Ada syntax and concepts, since (a) I remember being fond of the structure and style of Ada programming and (b) it has been well over thirty years since I last thought of Ada programming in more than an abstract way.
I’m happy to report that simply reading through “Learning Ada”‘s first 18 chapters has rekindled point (a) above and blown off a lot of the memory dust in my head due to (b).
I might start writing programs again at this rate. I just might.
The case is DSCC v. Trump, docket at https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/73131864/dscc-v-trump/?filed_after=&filed_before=&entry_gte=&entry_lte=&order_by=desc
The bottom line: the Roberts Six said that plaintiffs sought injunctive relief too early, before Trump’s
EOs caused any actual harm and before USPS had taken definitive action to implement the unconstitutional commands in them. Now, USPS has issued a final ruling. That, plus other concrete implementation by Trump-controlled agencies, means that the dispute is ripe for a new injunction. 2/

If combined with the Supreme Court decision that gave Bush the presidency because there wasn't enough time to right the wrong, the court has created a way to pervert US elections.

It was the language used in my first serious computer science course at university. I remember it being pretty good at finding errors at compile time, and that because licenses were expensive, there was exactly one massively overloaded 68k SUN that had an Ada compiler, resulting in multi-hour compile times as deadlines approached.
Also, this is not really relevant today, but I thought it was funny:

Right. all I was saying is that where with github its like "fuck you Microsoft if your moat is infinite compute I'm going to use the infinite compute," with codeberg its like "thank you for offering the free compute but I know you can't afford it so I'll bring my own thanks"
