@hipsterelectron ok, the first rule is to never apologize to the french language. It doesn't deserve it and it has trouble telling appart fear and apologies.
And I wanted to make sure I read the post correctly 😊 I understand a je ne sais quoi as both a quantity so smoll, it's mostly for look
@gkrnours "je ne sais quoi" as imported into english (as i understand it) is intended to refer to something that cannot be defined, and is somewhat ethereal in a way. it is often used in a joking manner, as here, and the use of french is intended to accentuate that, as it evokes the idea of the user aspiring to say something that is intentionally not understood by the audience, particularly if the audience is """lower class""" (it is much like latin in this way)

MAGA-Förderer, Trump-Berater und Mitgründer von #Palantir – Springer ehrt Peter Thiel mit Axel-Springer-Award 2026 https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/springer-konzern-ehrt-peter-thiel-mit-axel-springer-award-2026-a-4074675d-9a14-42fa-841d-1a53ee351b86
Da fällt mir nichts mehr zu ein. Ich frage mich schon mein Leben lang, warum ein Konzern der seit jeher auf Recht und Gesetz sch... und für den der Begriff "Volksverhetzung" wohl erfunden wurde, noch existieren darf.
RealDoll the sex doll parent company bought by the roving husk of a cryptocurrency/metaverse capital demon pivots to selling hyper-realistic silicoid AI teaching robots to public schools on the Seneca Nation reservation, causing the state to spend $60k per doll they don't have to perform generational damage to already marginalized kids. That's a real consequence of the kind of world all the AI ghouls with a kind face are running cover for.

…I really dislike “AI-enhanced” photography. It makes it harder and harder for me to trust any photo, even those taken by people I know on their personal devices.

We are getting more and more questions about using Vivaldi inside larger organizations.
There is an understanding that relying on Big Tech is a bad idea and Vivaldi has a lot of unique features, but also avoids adding certain functionality that is unwanted both by users and organizations. There is no AI built into Vivaldi, no profiling of users and no Crypto currencies.
We are adding functionality for managed deployment and updates, as well as policy management.
If you are interested, contact us on the address below.

@jon so the idea is that I tell my it manager to write an email to that email address? Do you want to know their requirements or do you just want their email address so you can send back some information?

…Flying is in my view another one of these *going the wrong way as fast as we can* things. It’s much more visible because it’s a consumerist action.
But what really oils the wheels of our insanity is shipping. Just *astonishingly* unsustainable.

My family's survival is my absolute priority. My mother and my four siblings—ensuring they are safe, have food, and a roof over their heads—matters more to me than my own life. they are still living under the shadow of airstrikes, constant displacement, and fear. Their safety is everything.
@imyke the stuff Claude is useful for sometimes..
I never remember the name Bellroy when thinking about bags. But I remember who talked about it.
Claude was also very clear that you did not switch entirely away from Peak Design for all items.

This must be the funniest moment in Trump's presidency yet:
To construct an argument that Trump should control US elections at the federal level, Trump releases new, declassified information about election interference… which reveals Russia interfered to get him elected in 2020 — what Trump has denied for years.
Whoooops.

At an EU enlargement meeting, Hungary blocked the opening of negotiation clusters #2 and #3 for Ukraine. Most EU members rejected Hungary's proposal to only advance Moldova's cluster #3, stalling the processes for both nations.
