As high-profile websites vanish, it’s a reminder that the web has no built-in archival layer.
But some publishers are now blocking the Wayback Machine.
What’s at stake if the web stops being archived? Our new FAQ explains: preserving the public record matters. 🌐📚 https://help.archive.org/help/faq-publishers-blocking-the-wayback-machine/
I'm looking for a hat I can wear (e.g. in car) here with the Arizona sun and I'm finding stories instead.
Like this one, the backslash in the prompt is missing and it's likely that it was due to whatever software was used was swallowing up the character—perhaps when sanitizing strings.
The default system prompt in DOS was just "C>" (letter of current drive plus a ">" character, though basically everyone changed it to include the current directory, so it would have been "C:\>" after boot.

#alttext also sucks with how Mastodon applications handle them.
I literally cannot read all the alt-text what you typed. And I cannot read it as a text block. It gets force overlaid on the video.
It also gunks up the video UI and makes it harder to use.
I cant copy-paste alt text at all, even on a desktop web browser.. Unless I go in the HTML. Fucking yuck.
Also if its non-english, I can translate the body text. Not so with alttext.
Descriptive text in the body tagged as #alttext is by far better. I can read it easier and use translation tools as needed.
Seems like you need to use a different application. On Tusky you can scroll down and hide text by pressing the bottom of the screen. You can also copy for pasting and depending on what device you're using also translate. 😊👍

Seth Rogen Says if You Use AI to Write Scripts, Then ‘You Shouldn’t Be a Writer’: ‘Go Do Something Else’
Seth Rogen told Brut at the Cannes Film Festival that if you use AI to write your stories or scripts, then you “shouldn’t be a writer.” “I don’t understand what it’s supposed to do,” Rogen said when asked about AI in filmmaking. “Every time I see a video on Instagram that’s like, ‘Hollywood is cooked,’ […]
People believe they know what #Farage stands for, but with a policy manifesto that is so light on detail, what gives them this belief?
I suspect they project what they want to happen or simply have not thought at all, or, the quasi-racist notion of expelling the brown face subsumes all other considerations
There’s a discussion I’ve listened to over the last couple of days and one of the speakers is Aditya Chakrabortty. He’s great in it.
He’s particularly good in the 11 minute segment from 50 minutes in at https://overcast.fm/+8dw-1C4BE/50:01
It’s worth listening to the trajectory he traces across the whole segment in order to contextualise what he says in the final 4 minutes of it.
The tl;dr is that Labour and Conservatives have not been listening to the places he describes but Reform have been
I remain kinda heart broken, that I don't really see FreeBSD following NetBSD's example of banning slop code from the project.
However, it's the BSD that remains the easiest to slot into my life; and at this point, it looks like slop code is going to infect the vast majority of medium and large scale FLOSS projects.
Linux distros all have it in their kernel, and it's littered in low level dependencies and programming language already. Even if individual distros ban it from their project code.
OpenBSD has some sort of quasi-ban except for those tmux commits no one likes talking about, and who knows where else.
AND it's already infected a good amount of stuff in NetBSD's pkgsrc.
SO, it's increasingly feeling like it's going to litter your computer no matter what you do.
SO im trying to make some sort of peace with, using software tainted by it. WHILE still avoiding using LLMs directly.

Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia.
This year #IDAHOBIT explores the themes of democracy and the role LGBTQIA+ people and their rights play in signalling true democracy.
Here in the UK, we're seeing the safety of LGBTQ+ people decline rapidly. Data published earlier this week by ILGA-Europe now places the UK as 22nd in Europe for LGBTQ+ protections. In 2015, the UK led in these rankings.
We have to do more.
I will never understand why Israelis accept the violent Netanyahu regime.
Video from a protest in Jerusalem where a young woman is arrested for "walking with handbag", and other protesters are beaten violently.
Need a split screen video of this and how the same peoples were treated in late 1930s Germany.

🆕 blog! “GDS weighs in on the NHS's decision to retreat from Open Source”
Within the UK's Civil Service you occasionally hear the expression "being invited to a meeting without biscuits". It implies a rather frosty discussion without any of the polite niceties of a normal meeting. In general though, even when people have severe …

It's just wild to see companies making the mistakes that sunk a million startups before them be kept afloat by massive collective capital investment and ideological zeal

Mitten auf der Bushaltestelle parkt ein Pkw. Dahinter ein Abschleppwagen und ein Wagen des Ordnungsamts. Was spielt sich hier ab?
I mean, it's typically not sustainable for companies that are at an early stage, massive ones with incumbent status who've already gotten themselves embedded everywhere can get away with that shite more readily

@pixelistik will ja nicht klugshycen aber an Bushaltestellen darf man, iirc, tatsächlich halten, nicht aber parken. Mit der ganzen Grauzone die dazu gehört, Ladegeschäft, an-/absetzen etc.
