Today in #Luxembourg, a union of municipal employees comes out against free public services.
At least, that is what their fancy headline says, they seem in fact to be complaining that municipalities' budgets are not sufficient to finance free public services. Which is a totally different thing.
Still, they use the rhetoric of "nothing free is actually free". Do these municipal employees not understand what public services are?

Zeit Online lässt Artikel von einem „experimentellen Tool“ zusammenfassen und warnt davor, dass die Inhalte „unvollständig, veraltet oder sogar falsch sein“ können. Ist das noch etwas Anderes als journalistische Selbstaufgabe? (Screenshot als Gesamtkunstwerk)
„KI-Systeme wie das Modell Whisper von OpenAI können Halluzinationen verursachen, indem sie falsche Informationen generieren.“ Ich wünschte, ich würde diesen unsinnigen Satz nur halluzinieren.
Der Presserat hat bereits klargestellt, dass Redaktionen auch für KI-generierte Inhalte verantwortlich sind. Der Disclaimer von Zeit Online lässt annehmen, dass die Zusammenfassungen des „Tools“ nicht geprüft werden. Für mich ein Verstoß gegen den Pressekodex, genauer gesagt gegen die journalistische Sorgfaltspflicht. presserat.de/presse-nachrichte…
Journalistische Selbstaufgabe. Den merk Ich mir! Mit der „dead internet theory” werden die sozialen Netzwerke so sozial, dass sie bald ohne Menschen funktionieren ;)
@ErikUden v.A. ist doch absolut sinnlos. Der Text wird einmal für jeden Artikel generiert und dann gespeichert, alles andere wäre ja wirklich sinnbefreit.
Aber wenn dem so ist, ist es doch kein Problem da mal drüber zu lesen und dann hat man halt eine Zusammenfassung, fertig?
I went to the USPS early yesterday morning to use the self-service kiosk, but the printer was out of order.
I went back today, with a literal wagon full of boxes. Let everyone else go ahead of me. Settled in, and printed a ton of shipping labels.
Then some little old lady asked for help. Got her settled into the best box, and someone else asked for help. Then people started asking me where their packages were and when stuff would arrive.

A protein called YTHDF2 activates genes that provide a stable energy source for cancer cell growth and spread.
It also helps cancer cells hide from the immune system by reducing antigen biomarkers that would otherwise signal the immune system to attack.
researchers developed a drug compound called CCI-38 that specifically targets and inhibits this protein. The treatment is expected to increase the chances of successful treatment and long-term survival.

Several countries around the world banned Fox News because they saw it as propaganda for white supremacy and right-wing extremism. It’s about time we give Fox News the same treatment.
Corporations do not have a right to exist and fiduciary duty is a myth they purposefully spread to justify being shitheads. Businesses have no rights that are not granted by the people. They exist at our whim alone.

Nicolas #Sarkozy, avocat inscrit au barreau de Paris, définitivement condamné après avoir tenté de corrompre un magistrat. Le bâtonnier Pierre Hoffman, si prompt à dégainer lorsque cela sert certains intérêts, demandera-t-il immédiatement sa #radiation, comme il n'a pas hésité à le faire contre certains confrères, coupables d'exister et d'exercer leur profession avec rigueur et dignité, mais rendus fautifs d'user d'enveloppes noires et autres billevesées ? Comment l'ordre des avocats explique-t-il qu'au cours de ces très longues années, aucune procédure disciplinaire n'ait jamais été enclenchée contre un confrère contre lequel les condamnations se multipliaient, alors qu'il n'a pas hésité à en piétiner d'autres, dans les procédures que l'on sait ?
Good afternoon everyone. There has been a lot of confusion about "subscriptions" to FA. I hope this doesn't add to the confusion, but I have to say that we are committed to being a not-for-profit, voluntarily funded site. We need about another $110 per month in pledges and then we can exist forever, but if we cannot reach this extremely modest goal by January 20th, then we have no choice but to close down the site. Subscriptions are gratefully accepted at givesendgo.com/FreeAtlantis. Thank You!

So if someone does say a one time donation that is not a monthly subscription, but covers say a year or two of expenses for one persons that’s not sufficient? You prefer actual monthly subscriptions?
The question of "is HTML a programming language" is never about definitions.
It's about excluding a group of laborers from receiving equal compensation to others, as well as a means to justify not teaching engineers how to center web content without several frameworks.
omg yeah, i feel like that question often gets brought up just to put someone else down, it usually doesn't actually matter whether it's a programming language
@nflux Hard agree. This argument goes alllllll the way back to the 90s when "RTFM" was a common response to legit tech questions, and when newbie was a hard insult. It was condescending then and it's condescending now. If someone's got to operate from a position of superiority by enforcing inferiority in some arbitrary system, their ego is running their identity, and they'd be more free if they'd unpack that. And less of a jerk.
...and to be honnest with the growing complexity of HTML & CSS, we're fast approaching the point where it will be Turing-complete without needing to throw JavaScript in the mix...
I couldn't care less if HTML is or isn't a "programming language"...
What I do know is that developers who write HTML are programmers, and their skills and efforts are extremely valuable. They deserve to be appropriately compensated and respected for their knowledge and work.
This recent talk from Felienne Hermans (“A Case for Feminism in Programming Language Design”) points in a similar direction: a hard-to-learn language is “more like programming” just because it is… harder to learn (than spreadsheets for example).
It's a programming language because it lets people tell the computer to do cool stuff. In this case, show all kinds of things on screen. That's not much, you say? So what. It's fun. Meaningful. Often even useful.
So, you can't use HTML to perform computation. Big deal. It's been a long time since computers were all, or even mainly, about computation. Deal with it.
it also leads to just bad web design, since many webapps, including much of the fediverse, are created by people with only a superficial knowledge of HTML ( not to mention XML generally ) and so they write terribley bloated html and used javascript unnecessarily
that's one way to see it. but web developer and trucker were the two number one jobs in the US, and nothing drives wages down like too many applicants.
HTML/CSS is definitely a programming language though.
i think a good counter-example to html/css being "just markup" is all the cool stuff people on cohost came up with back when it was still around
here's a list of many of them, there's a lot of really cool stuff there (it's all inline-only css and html): cohost.org/YellowAfterlife/pos…
i've made a few as well - for example this is a 3d first person game with free movement and interactive elements: cohost.org/rebane2001/post/791… and this is a blackjack implementation that implements randomness, and does math and logic to figure out what the card totals are and who won the game: cohost.org/rebane2001/post/563…
i don't think you need an example like one of those to call something programming, but they are pretty effective at demonstrating being "more of a program" than most landing pages programmed with a js web framework out there
i think the argument is dumb anyways because it's usually not brought up to help someone, but to instead make them seem inferior for not using "a real programming language" or to just be annoying about it
I've had a collection of CSS crime post links salvaged from my likes and perhaps you might like these too! There are a hundred or so links here.

Speaker Johnson's 1,547-page spending monstrosity has a little gift to Pelosi's Partisan J6 Committee.
Buried way down in section 605 is a passage that would shield House members from independent investigators. "MOTIONS TO QUASH OR MODIFY—Upon a motion made promptly by a House office or provider for a House office, a court of competent jurisdiction shall quash or modify any legal process directed to the provider for a House office if compliance with the legal process would require the disclosure of House data of the House office."
What does this mean in plain English?
If someone (like a House office or a service provider working for a House office) believes a legal request for information (such as a subpoena) would force them to disclose sensitive House data, they can quickly file a motion with a court to stop or change the request.
The court must agree to block or change the request if it would result in the disclosure of the House’s sensitive data.
In essence, this ensures House offices' data remains protected, and provides a way to challenge legal requests for that data.
This could be used to shield J6 committee members accused of deleting records and may be criminally prosecuted under the Trump administration. #cr @kylenabeckerminds.com/newsfeed/17161974207…

some reply-guys who want to prove you wrong will still reply without making an attempt. instead, they'll tell you to explain your reasoning in more detail, and that's it. they don't present any actual counterarguments, they just kind of demand that you explain yourself in greater depth.
and it's always for the same reason. they want to prove you wrong—but they can't. there's no angle, because you're actually making perfect sense. so they need you to talk a lot more, and then maybe you'll eventually give them something by accident that they can attack.
and if you do, then they'll argue against that thing and act like your whole point is false, even if that point is absolutely inconsequential in reality.
out of all the kinds of reply-guys, I think these ones are among the most embarrassing.
(and the second most embarrassing type are those that only activate against posters who mention reply-guys; I always get a little surge after making a toot like the above.)
It reminds me of the "Press" action in the Ace Attorney series. Which is to say "I have no actual idea of what you're wrong about but I've decided you're wrong so please keep talking until I can point something out"
It's weird to think of seeing interactions with others as being adversarial like that. Going into a conversation with the preconceived notion that there's a hidden flaw you should exploit.
Unsurprisingly, the post I made about how Mastodon's reply culture is unique among the social media sites that I post to got a bunch of "Are you sure about that?" replies. I am sure about it. That's why I wrote it.
Luv2b inundated with reply guys telling me how to do my job and explaining my own social media experience to me! Extra points if they're talking about things that I am expert in and they are not, including being a woman on the internet who talks about tech issues with a large number of followers on a social media platform.

when I explain to SWEs various release engineering best practices, there are always one or two who interpret my statements, which are not hypotheses, as if I was presenting a challenge for them to come up with a solution that successfully violates best practices. Or, they react by questioning them and asking for proofs.
I am sure the same is true in the infosec space.
I am also sure that Mastodon has a higher proportion of these individuals than does most social media.

Las lechuzas son blancas para que se las vea menos. Ha salido un artículo al que yo he contribuido, una colaboración entre especialistas en biología, radiometría y astronomía que propone que el blanco de las lechuzas sirve para que sus presas las vean peor. El cielo nocturno iluminado por la Luna adquiere brillo. Una lechuza se vería como un perfil negro contra ese fondo. Pero el tono blanco refleja la cantidad de luz (procedente del paisaje) suficiente como para que la rapaz se confunda con el fondo. El blanco de la lechuza, por llamativo que parezca, es en realidad un medio de camuflaje que se une a su vuelo silencioso para que sus presas no las descubran hasta que ya sea demasiado tarde.
