If you're in Berlin or willing and independently able to move & work there, we just opened an incredibly important role for prioritizing public investments in critical open source infrastructure -- and for making the case for these investments to reach the scale they truly need to.
This is a key time as we are preparing for a pilot of an EU Sovereign Tech Fund.
The Analog Revolution is here.

"earn" is such a peculiar word to use here, given what the article is actually saying.
CEOs _receive_ 614 times more pay than their workers.
@jenniferplusplus that would be the perfect job to automate to lower costs
@Eldeberen @aeris @docteurslump @thias Comme vu plus loin, le STEP en Suisse c’est 1,3 GWh pour l’instant, donc que dalle, et ils se font sûrement pas tant de bif que ça du coup (un peu quand même, mais moins de 10 %, peut-être même moins de 5 %).
Après ça dit rien de leur potentiel, peut-être qu’ils vont massivement faire du STEP ? Aucune info a été donnée là-dessus (j’ai bien demandé le rapport qui présente le plan choisi et pourquoi, mais sans réponse).

How to spot a psychopath
"Mitchell built a template of 20 attributes, divided into four clusters, and 25 tactics that would identify a high-functioning persistent predatory personality type. Cluster one includes a need for control; a grandiose sense of self; pathological inner response to challenge; vengefulness; refusal to compromise. Cluster two includes being predatory or exploitative; sadistic and cruel; having a low regard for laws, agreements, social and moral codes; no boundaries in sexual relationships; unreasonable expectations of others. Cluster three relates to the truth: Dark Personalities cultivate a façade of normality; they are chameleon-like; dishonest; devious and manipulative; and unwilling to accept responsibility for the negative impacts they cause. Finally, cluster four is around the Dark Personality’s own interior life: their emotions are acted and they do not experience affinity or the joy that comes with it; they are callous and devoid of empathy; unremorseful; self-interested; and brazen"
@lauren I’m curious if Apple and Google go along with this the way they did the “Gulf of America”
@wonkothesane Given how Sundar has a hobby of kissing Trump's ass (at least), one would assume so.
Do you wanna be an alt-text rockstar? I got you.
I just published a comprehensive guide on the when, what, and how of image descriptions. There are sections for design/development practitioners and social media posters alike.
So read up, then get your alt-text on.

@markwyner Thank you for writing this. So great!
I see the curb-cut phenomenon happening with video captions. Almost everyone I know has them turned on by default for all videos that include them, and prefer videos with captions. ugh! capitalism strikes again! There are people willing to do the job and people want the job done but it doesn't happen because people can't afford to pay for it.
when you have a fixed-size message, that's a ridiculous amount of extra information that you should be using. inside each block, AES is absolutely mixing together bits appropriately. it's not terribly difficult to think of how to do that across an entire fixed-size message
this is speaking as the one person who wrote a parser compiler for undecidable grammars, entirely by accident

That parts of the internet are already busy being nasty about Dolly Parton of all people shows so starkly how much the snuffing out of any positive, kind, pro-social feeling has become a bedrock, load-bearing industry.
If they can’t totally monetize your heart, they’ll happily monetize rotting it.
Our thoughts are with the families in Nepal and Tibet, where so many people are being hit by flash floods.
The floods are attributed to a large chunk of ice snapping off a glacier in the Himalayas, adding to rising concerns over the impacts of climate change due to indications of floods, landslides, avalanches, and droughts increasing in frequency and ferocity across the region.

How did "one bad apple spoils the bunch" get changed to "just a few bad apples"? 
That little switch completely reverses the meaning of the saying/proverb/warning.
It seems awfully convenient that a proverb warning about the rotting influence of one bad apple has changed to excuse any rot as an outlier & not indicative of a systemic failure.
reading the statement from teh US treasury, it does seem that Autistici supports terrorist organizations, not just antifa
at the very least, the idea that they would not face blowback is so naive that they deserve what they get
@failedLyndonLaRouchite @cavallette what is terrorism?
[disclaimer, this is unprofessional bullshit in my head, i am not claiming anything that's not already well known]
literally every single AES block mode is vulnerable to.........recovering the keystream (it's NOT easy, but it's the major attack mode that signal uses AES-256-GCM to counteract). and recovering the keystream can decrypt the message because block mode ciphers work in blocks, and limiting the block size means each block is an independent subproblem.
and stream ciphers are (1) incompetently designed in general (2) do not mix up bits from the end of the message with the start of it.

I have no idea how I'm going to accomplish even half of the things I'm supposed to do in the next month. I feel rather paralyzed at the moment. I have so many farm things (bringing in the straw tonight, harvesting/preserving all sorts of veggies, moving the goat fence ever-faster on grass that's drying up and not growing anymore). My kids start school next week. My teaching is going to be a fucking disaster this semester. And I have to write a new research grant. Fuck.

I need the power of the #fediverse : For an upcoming presentation I am looking for examples many people will understand where the software caused consumer electronic devices not to work anymore.
E.g. company decided not to update the software which caused the device to stop, company disappeared and e.g. servers not available and therefore the device did not start anymore, etc.
Currently interested in some fresh examples I could use. Any pointers?
@kirschner my robot vacuum is basically useless because the device can't connect to the wifi and therefore app anymore because of a screwup with the firmware at the company.
crypto billionaire Justin Sun has posted an extremely long, extremely weird Twitter post detailing a previous relationship with Chinese actress Jing Tian, suggesting she reneged on a $50 million agreement to use her eggs to have a child with a surrogate (screenshots machine translated)
