Love fast trains. 290 kmph (Eurostar). But this is the private train company. I would prefer take a public train that goes at only 🙃 200 kmph (ICNG 🇳🇱) but is 6x cheaper and does not need prior reservations.

I'm really really really not interested in computers getting more powerful.
I am super interested in them being more repairable and modifiable, drawing less power, lasting and being supported for way longer etc. That stuff still gets me excited

@Shrigglepuss Longer battery lives and more being more sturdy is something that is easily understood by everyone.

Are there any statistics about what #WordPress is used for these days? Is it still blogging?

@pfefferle Wouldn't it be amazing if Wordpress became a first class fediverse instance?

@ironicbadger Is it appropriate for parents of 10 year olds?

I don't have a lot to say about this -- our newsroom is independent of the company's business dealings as it's always been. We'll figure out some disclosure language and do a disclosure when it's appropriate, we are pretty good at those ;)

@reckless1280 Verge stories were always available on web. I am assuming that they are already part of any LLMs's training data.

Still undecided about renewing my Ivory subscription for another year. Haven’t used it nearly enough to warrant a renewal, but also that Phanpy and Elk have been getting increasingly delightful to use. Oh, and Threads…

@preshit I feel bad about dropping support for indie apps. :-( However I also didn’t renew my Ivory subscription. I hadn’t used it in a while and one of the features that I am looking for is how threads are rendered in the timeline and treatment of quoted posts. I want the posts and replies to be shown together so that it is simpler to follow the conversation

TIL "middle class energy". Example:
Chunky Pandey is so down to earth, he has total "middle class energy". (learned this from an actual Instagram caption)

Indians have really milked this identity of being middle class.

@adnan@1210.nl avatar

@madhu_shrieks what is “middle class”? I bet it is the (false) belief that they are neither privileged (“upper class”) nor receiving “handouts” (“lower class”) from the govt. So, according to them, life is a struggle and they have no one looking out for them.

Basically fake victimhood.

Over on Threads, they have started complaining about how the algorithm censors (political) speech.

🙄🙄🙄

What did they expect - that Meta will not have its own profit motives as first priority?

Why was this never mentioned in school?

@adnan@1210.nl avatar

@jetton Speaking of school - my son is taught how to use Google in his primary school. Now these schools will have to undo all that training! The damage to Google brand is immense. Even if they turn this back, we can’t rely on the current management to be good custodians of the brand.

The deed is done. Debian is installed. Windows is gone for good.

30 years of Microsoft OS experience down the drain, because they can't not be capitalist dicks.

What a waste. 🙁

@aral @DaveMasonDotMe I don’t blame them. But I am hoping that if Microsoft makes NPUs standard in laptops, we will Linux supporting this hardware too. Linux for Qualcomm snapdragon elite blah blah ARM chips.

Taylor Swift Eras Tour Raises COVID Fears.

"Reports of COVID clusters are circulating after Swift's Paris shows."

"data suggested that hospital visits between May 6-12 rose 20% among those under 15-years-old, and 28% for those 15 and over."

The agency's data suggested that hospital visits between May 6-12 rose 20 percent among those under 15-years-old, and 28 percent for those 15 and over. Meanwhile, scientists have warned of a "summer wave" of infections in the U.S. from a highly transmissible set of omicron subvariants. What We Know Some people on social media who said they had attended the concert have urged fellow attendees to test for COVID-19. One user who attended the Era's Tour in Paris, posted her positive COVID-19 test on TikTok, writing, "Check if you don't have Covid even tho you don't have any symptoms! A lot of us are sick right now." Another concertgoer posted on X, formerly Twitter: "back from the Taylor Swift concert with a scratchy throat, runny nose... If the government had maintained health measures, I would not be in this sad state." France lifted most of its COVID-19 restrictions in March 2022 and since February 2023 there is no requirement to self-isolate if you test positive. Wearing a mask in a public place is recommended, but not mandatory. Views "We know that the most risky places for Covid-19 transmission are poorly ventilated, crowded, indoor places," Christina Pagel, a professor at University College London who focuses on research in health policy, told Newsweek. "We also know that singing or shouting is more risky as more virus is emitted with each breath. Thus big concerts, particularly in older venues with poorer ventilation, represent a higher risk for catching something."

@mastodonmigration People who speak loudly spread the virus further than those who speak softly. 😀
