Rimosso il link a nitter.net e aggiornata la pagina dei frontend alternativi per via di un cease and desist, ovvero una lettera da parte di X nei confronti dello sviluppatore di Nitter che lo invitano *gentilmente* a chiudere l'istanza principale e a non sviluppare più Nitter.
In caso di aggiornamenti vi faremo sapere!

Attualmente non sembra esistere nulla di simile, forse solo https://github.com/j-fbriere/squawker per Android che però richiede un account per essere utilizzato.
Alonzo-dev news: I can now edit function bodies!
There's still some bugs & refinements to iron out here, but I think the most important thing now is to synthesize missing branches!
I needed to add a callback flagging that relayout needed doing, or the system would crash in multiple ways.
Anthropic has told its staff to work from home as security guards go on strike. I guess this is the one job they can't replace with an LLM 🤣 But the even bigger question is why are security guards going on strike and what kind of work do they do that requires 24/7 security?
[1/2] Ces derniers jours ont été très orageux dans le Languedoc. Le ciel a été capable du plus beau mais, malheureusement aussi, du plus dévastateur avec la tornade dans l'Aude à Pomas.
Voici 4 photos du Pic Saint Loup sous la foudre :
1) La première est une superposition de 5
@sergezaka Bonjour, est-ce que je peux réutiliser ces images? Si oui, comment créditer la personne qui les a faites?
They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded.

@pluralistic Still mad about the death of VHS to this day since I was 4.
Cuz I'm a software geek, I constantly get the "Oh, you must be good at math" thing.
I am *very* good at arithmetic, it's true. And I can recite my powers of 2 up to ~4 billion in less time than it will take you to finish that beer.
But whenever I do even *2d* graphics, let alone 3d, it's trig, or it's fucking matrix math, and I'm like, FUCK THIS FUCKING SHIT IT DOESN'T FUCKING MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU.
But. You know.
I just smile and nod.
I have spent *days* fixing problems that arise from the fact that the y-axis is (generally) inverted in graphics libraries.
I am not kidding. That shit confuses me so hard.
Vores datter @Ringo5749 får besøg af jazz-musikeren Johannes Fink som hun mødte i Berlin da hun boede dernede sidste år. De skal spille et par koncerter i København og de har indvilliget i at spille en koncert her hos os på Egsgyden 27, Horne Land ved Faaborg d. 18/9 kl. 20. I er meget velkomne :-). Det er gratis.
Massive Kritik am Thüringer Polizeigesetzentwurf:
Vor der morgigen Anhörung im Landtag veröffentlicht der @CCC seine gemeinsame schriftlich Stellungnahme mit dem @krautspace, @bytespeicher und @netz39. Die Kritik ist lesenswert!
my snack is borken again
hmmmm
Just saw a woman unironically wearing a sideways baseball cap
Millionen völlig Unbeteiligte sollen überwacht werden: Thüringer Polizei soll weitgehende Befugnisse für automatisierte Datenanalyse, #Verhaltensscanner und #Gesichtserkennung bekommen https://www.ccc.de/updates/2026/polizeigesetzthueringen #Palantir
@CCC Thüringen hat gerade einmal 2,1Mio Einwohner... Säuglinge/Kinder abgezogen kommt man vermutlich auf 1,8mio. Was soll da also überwacht werden... OK, die alten StasiVorderen werden es wohl wissen...
Junqueras:
“L’estelada és un símbol de llibertat i de justícia, i ningú amb valors democràtics hauria de perseguir-la ni eliminar-la. Davant d’un abús de poder, la millor resposta és la mobilització cívica i democràtica: omplim el Camp Nou aquest dijous d’estelades.”
Em sembla bé la idea però omplir el Camp Nou d’estelades no té massa mèrit perquè és la casa de l’estelada.
Seria molt millor deixar de donar suport al PSC i PSOE però clar, es perderien les menjadores.

Dutch state-owned gas transmission company Gasunie confirms that the Netherlands will not be able to meet its gas storage filling targets of 74% (EU commitment) or 80% (government goal) by October.
"But for a normal winter, it's sufficient".
Germany is also way behind, btw.

@Informassue
Je n'ai pas souhaité entrer dans les détails technique trop poussés, sinon on en finit pas et je ne serai sans pas assez pointu sur le sujet (PFS, protection quantique, etc.)
@sebsauvage Oui, je me demandais aussi si c'est vraiment important, ne serait-ce que parce que cette technologie est annoncée, mais va savoir si effectivement un tel ordinateur sera vraiment opérationnel un jour.
C'est en tout cas intéressant de voir que justement, les 2 messageries que tu mets en avant, s'en préoccupent.
