Il y a l'impression de s'exiler loin de l'endroit où les choses se passent, même si on est d'accord que c'est pourri (≈ quitter Paris), et d'autre part le fait de devoir réinventer sa manière de communiquer après des années à parler la langue d'Insta pour mendier des likes (≈ partir à l'étranger).

Users on the gamedev.lgbt server have put together a games bundle, launching later this month!

Why not take a look at the glossy, high-energy, 73-second trailer in the quoted toot (that I may or may not have knocked together over the course of a few hours yesterday afternoon… )

@oldsysops cool, merci :)

Masto Peeps: Whats your favorite 3D / LiDAR scanning app for iPhone? Especially for object to 3D mesh conversion and potential 3D printing. Best effort is fine - I know the phone's possibilities are probably limited.

@EUCommission Systemically deported queer people to countries that will harm them have other things to say. As do the relations of queer people who committed suicide because of your inhumane immigration policies. Most queer people globally are non white, a huge proportion of queer people in Europe are non white. And yet most images talking about them are of white people. This is pinkwashing, focus on the biggest issues facing the queer community (including your inhumane immigration policy) and come back to me.

I keep going back and forth on the arXiv thing.

Basically, the way I do things now, I can easily see myself falling foul of the rule. I don't use LLMs to write or to insert references, but I often co-author with students and I prefer to trust them.

I have read every line of every paper that has my name on it, but I haven't googled every citation to see if it exists. I haven't always read every paper I cite, if I trust that a co-author has. 1/n

@julian_kuelshammer much better, although still unclear if it's 1 or 3 since the post says both. Still problematic for junior researchers either way, still has problematic interactions with existing power imbalances, but much better.

Guilty until proven innocent:

The US will now deny entry to anyone who has a private profile on social media.

@aral
Sorry
perhaps I missed that
But I am a simple person
sometimes I miss things
I am mediocre

I am pro love, forgiveness and inclusion.

Drumtroddan Standing Stones. This old feller is the last stone standing in what was once a row of 4, possibly 5 stones, pointing towards the Galloway Hills in the east.

I joined Tinder at 14 (many years ago) because I thought older men were the business (spoiler: no) but always told them how old I was to not waste time. In retrospect amazing how many men will enthusiastically volunteer in writing to do crimes with their government name.

@sl007 Ich bin mal in einen lokalen Antikmarkt. Bekam die Empfehlung: "Wenn Ihnen der Stil gefällt, und Sie nicht nach einer Wertanlage suchen, kann ich Ihnen win paar günstige Stücke aus den 20ern und 30ern empfehlen. Die kommen ohne Herkunftsnachweis und sind deshalb nicht so teuer."

Ich hab einen Moment gebraucht, den Laden aber nie wieder betreten.
