@bagder I ought to have been more precise: indeed in Firefox but also in curl

I long for a cool, clear, dark night. We really are just tiny specks of stardust hurtling around in the vastness of space. It's an extremely grounding sight. It should be required viewing.

@astromateusz
Two other possibilities are that they just suck at data viz and mix two transformations of the data (recursively on the table because any expectations of competence are undermined by the fact that LLMs certainly produced the document in some critical way), and also that the numbers are just made up (tautologically true because the api costs are made up, but you know what I mean)

I have not tried this myself, but if it actually was 10 cents per mouse move it would be too funny to be real anyway, the universe cannot tolerate a vacuum of something so funny

@tessarakt @krupo @pluralistic DATEV does the same stuff any big cooperate does. Rent instead of buy your software. Put everything in an US cloud. If you want to leave, to bad. Pay to export your data in a format no other tool can read, because they never released the specs.

@jpmens it might be possible to extract from the Firefox telemetry

@pixelfed
"Shipping" is for me something different than releasing a release with a patch.
The official release is still 0.12.9

You do so many fixes, but as long as it's not released, how should we know which commit is safe to roll out? Pixelfed.social is not showing which commit it's running, so it's hard for others to guess.

Just a more regular release with all the patches would be great.

Wie ironisch, dass Herr Siegmund in der ARD Fake News des öffentlichen Rundfunks beklagt, während seine Partei seit Jahren systematisch die Lügen der Ölkonzerne zum Klima verbreitet. Zum Nutzen Putins, zum Schaden Deutschlands 🇩🇪.

@bagder I wouldn’t mind knowing how much use it got.

@fulelo Here are four stumbling blocks set into a pavement in Magdeburg, a memorial to four members of one family, three deported and murdered, one met with an unknown fate.

Magdeburg is, of course, the capital of Saxony-Anhalt, the eastern German state which has just decided it quite likes Nazis after all. I guess the stumbling blocks just weren’t high enough.

20s: the death of personal computing

@zzt there's financial incentive to this bogus claim: declaring AGI means they're decoupled from Microsoft, essential to their pending IPO

When OpenAI says it has reached Artificial General Intelligence, […], that claim will have to be verified by an independent expert panel, Microsoft said. The revenue share agreement between the two companies will remain until that panel verifies AGI.

Oh Monday again... I designed a little magnet to keep you motivated 🦥

Have a nice day 😊

Here's an opportunity to help the next generation document queer history firsthand. Chance Earles is a Louisiana college student making a film on queer people of faith as a senior thesis. You can be sure this is the first but not the last film this creative young person will make. Their fundraising goal is only $625 short. I don't have an especially close connection to the project but Chance comes highly recommended.

Please give as you can, and boost! Thx.

Starting the day with some Arab Strap. From their latest album "Half Told Tales" the song "You You"

https://arabstrapband.bandcamp.com/track/you-you-you

"[..] I've got tears in my eyes again tonight
As the tyrannised unite and fight
There's a fiery frog in my throat now
From all that singing, bella ciao
I've got my day in court that can't be missed
'Cause the government claims I'm a terrorist
I fear for my son, I fear for my daughter
But in this world of slaughter"

I rossobruni che si offendono se li chiami rossobruni.

E, due righe sotto, giustificano la vittoria di AfD con il fatto che siccome milioni di persone trovano la scusa del loro razzismo giudicando il flusso migratorio come incontrollato (perché si sono messi lì loro a contare chi entra, chi esce, chi delinque, etc etc, carta e penna alla mano eh, non perché si affidano a strilloni di quartiere che quantomeno sono INCOMPETENTI IN MATERIA), allora vuol dire che l'immigrazione è incontrollata ed è un problema.

Non fa una grinzia.

Però ve ne dovete andare a cagare, rossobruni. Prima di subito, anche.
