@samuel @brainblasted Left @mullvadnet for @ivpn , too. 👌 Apparently the folks behind this project are decent enough.

@gsuberland you're right - although I still wouldn't want to try with wet hands...

Everybody drop what you’re doing and get to Lidl, the Arnold Schwarzenegger limited edition drill driver is on sale.

@dirtycommo this is ancient half remembered and likely unhelpful but

ages ago when i was learning avr microcontrollers, i managed to change its "fuse bits" such that it went similarly non-responsive

i learned that this can be fixed, but only using a special "high voltage" programmer

everyone's advice to me at the time was, that's a lot of work and chips are cheap, just trash it and get another (ugh)

project went on the shelf and haven't picked it back up yet

Man, Device Hub sucks. Such a regression across the board.

MariCarmen is the most common female name for several generations of Spanish women. Our mothers and grandmothers are called MariCarmen.

That is why the eviction this week of an elderly lady with that name, coupled with decades of housing injustice, has been the last straw. And just as every time our rage boils over in Spain, it turns into hope.

This protest camp is very reminiscent of the Sol protest camp 15 years ago, which became known as 15M in Spain

Vandaag liepen we in de mars van #stopdeoorlogskoorts. Omdat we ons zorgen maken. Om de miljarden die naar defensie gaan, de ophitsing, de manier waarop kritische vragen er over gesmoord worden. En om ons te laten horen voor de natuur, leefgebied van dieren, dat wordt geofferd aan de onstilbare honger van defensie naar meer terrein. Niemand wil oorlog, behalve degenen die er aan verdienen. En die er alles aan doen om ons anders wijs te maken. #stopwodg #stopmilitarisering #vrede

For me, Godzilla is one of the most relatable characters in film

What are you waiting for? Are you waiting until I lose my mother to cancer?
We urgently need $350, but we've only raised $50. Every delay increases my family's suffering and puts my mother's life at greater risk.
Please, save my family.

Big day at the #HomeOffice today - a lot of code just got merged bringing my #Phoenix #LiveView[1] app that started back in 2018, up to 1.8.15 and 2026.

A couple of very long days and nights diffing and riffing, and a shed load of sed and perl later.

@noize Ja wat verwarrend is, want heeft niet zoveel met Marx en Lenin te maken. Propagandistische taal van Stalin waar helaas 100 jaar later nog steeds wordt ingetrapt.

@Vlekje

Self-hosting is a dreadful choice for many people, for anything that they actually care about.

Annoyingly, *not* self-hosting stuff is also not a panacea, and generally entails picking the least worst option (which can be challenging in itself), and then understanding what one *still* needs to do to mitigate the risks of that choice.

There is no single good choice and - sadly - do I see that changing any time soon.

I'd love to be wrong here.

"All environmentalists in the global North have operated from the same assumption: the more the climate crisis hits us, the more climate rational we’ll become. But the last few years have falsified that hypothesis. In fact, the more the climate catastrophe escalates, the less we want to look at it. Shit has gotten worse. But shit getting worse in a way that reminds us of all the changes we should have made over the last 30 years doesn’t make us more rational."

I've spent the afternoon writing an AI Policy for my projects. It struck me that I really hate dealing with this at all.

I hate that the shittiest people in the tech industry created something that wreaks havoc with the internet, our privacy, our shared resources, our freedom. Yet, this insufferable hype and FOMO just permeates society on a daily basis.

There are useful ways to use it, within a fairly narrow scope. But not more than I'd be perfectly happy if it just went away.

The last three months are the warmest on record globally, relative to every other June-July-August period since 1850.

Every time a coworker mentions using an LLM for work, I take the rest of the day off. Why should I do the work if they're not going to?

"Celebrem la diversitat lingüística" però només reconeixen 24 idiomes a tota la Unió Europea. 24 llengües, moltes de les quals són símbols d'opressió i assimilació. No pregunteu com és que a França es parla francès o a Espanya espanyol; no pregunteu com és que l'occità, una llengua que fou tan estesa a banda i banda dels Pirineus, ha esdevingut tan insignificant avui dia.

Celebrem la diversitat lingüística. Però només de les que ens agraden.
