Right now there is a briefing going on for journalists about what will be in tomorrow's EU ticketing #PassengerPackage, but the person who has written most about this - me - is not allowed to listen as I am not an accredited media 🎉
I am open to receiving leaks! 😀
New from 404 Media: spoke to four people who attended a trade show where senior ICE officials spoke about how much Palantir is supercharging their arrests. List of 20 million people on ICE agents phones now; increased chance of successful arrest from 28 to 80% https://www.404media.co/ice-agents-have-list-of-20-million-people-on-their-iphones-thanks-to-palantir/
🎮 Els videojocs s’han vist com un problema: addiccions, violència, aïllament… Però, i si el debat està mal enfocat?
Les evidències mostren que els videojocs no són “bons” o “dolents”: el repte no és evitar-los, sinó acompanyar:
🎯 Ben utilitzats, poden potenciar habilitats com la resolució de problemes, la creativitat o el treball en equip.
⚠️ Però sense acompanyament, poden generar usos problemàtics.

"Liberal" is really just a synonym for fascist, because all states will always end up in the same place.
"Oh but we have to have a state because otherwise someone will make one!"
Ok, fascist.
To stay connected and be visible in #student life we are (still) on #instagram.
But the longer we stay, the harder it becomes to defend that choice.
It clashes with what we stand for as a #library: trustworthy information, #OpenScience, #DigitalAutonomy & student wellbeing.
We want to explore alternatives and open up the conversation about what responsible (online) #communication with students could and should look like.
Read our story and share your thoughts:

@Bibliothecaris There are more #sustainable ecosystems than what the #TechBros have far more control of. Look toward #recruiting #talent in climates that are gauged to survive #ClimateCrisis, like the #GlobalSouth.
@tehdeminz I have English relatives that are all like "Yorkshire and Portsmouth are TOUGH!"
It's cute.
Looking at temperature departures over the last 6 months... note some of the hotspot regions, including of course the Arctic, but also central Asia and western North America.

@fuzzyleapfrog hoch die statusgruppen übergreifende solidarität!
I'm taking a new approach for the Pixelfed redesign.
Basically, it's not feasible to replace the whole frontend without spending weeks or months redesigning every component and page and not breaking things.
So I've come up with a plan to gradually phase out bootstrap usage with tailwind and the vue composition API, ensuring the new UI doesn't break things until we have refactored everything, and can update vue and replace webpack with vite.
It may seem slow at first, but it will be worth it!
@dansup
Will you release some bug fixes before the big bang aka redesign?
I guess a lot of people are more waiting for the bugfixes than the redesign...
Thx a lot 🥰
"ooooh we're gonna put DRM into git" bro i screamed at the google AND microsoft talks at packagingcon 2023 both of whom could not explain to packaging nerds why they need their product. "we're doing DRM for agents" is this the new "uber for fish"
Trillions of lines of code run the world's businesses today.
ok so fun fact every time anyone gives you a loc count of their monorepo it's because nobody ever buries the dead they just let it rot
@quixoticgeek Or if they mean 'achey muscles and feeling kind of physically tired for no clear reason' *just fucking say that*! If it's supposed to be read as 'coughing, difficulty breathing and severe congestion' say so.
Like... maybe it's my neurospiciness and my tendency to take things literally that's the problem, but so often the way symptoms are described really doesn't help a lot. 'Flu-like symptoms'? That's so vague it's unhelpful. Influenza has lots of symptoms.
Redditors have caught Google secretly updating its Chrome terms of service to remove a line that guaranteed that local AI models won't send data to Google servers.
That's now gone, meaning your local AI sends data to Google, so it's not that local.

Folks who know I love reading tend to tell me how many #books they read last year. But that’s not what I’m particularly interested in.
I want to know what you learned through those stories. How they shaped your perspective. What they taught you about our world. Perhaps what you discovered about yourself. ✨
To me, that’s what’s most beautiful about a good book. 📚

If you visit the campuses of many universities in the USA, you will find that much of their campus computing is concentrated in basements. This is because those specialized spaces to support computer infrastructure were built during the 1960s—a time of civil unrest in the USA, particularly on college campuses. It was felt that the large mainframe computers of the day would be targets of anti-corporate sabotage. Basement bunkers were more defensible and generally didn’t have handy windows for tossing firebombs through.
This is a post about AI data centers.
@EUCommission Yes absolutely, but not with age verification please.
Hold providers like Meta and Alphabet to account.
@onepict @EUCommission Yes, I agree. Please hold the actual service providers and big tech firms accountable that make lots of money off the citizens!
I need a non-technical guide for installing and using #Linux in Spanish for my mother-in-law. Anyone know a good one?
And we really need to do something about "flu like symptoms". Have you ever looked up the list of diseases that have "flu like symptoms" at one stage or another it covers diseases ranging from a common cold upto COVID, ebola, hantaviruses, and all sorts of other nasty shit. It's an entirely unhelpful term. The unspecific nature of the term, coupled with how much "the flu" is misused, literally kills people. Before the next pandemic. We need to fix the way we talk about illnesses.
3/3
