I've been using DuckDuckGo as my main search engine for a while now. Lately, DDG seems to "correct" my searches. A LOT. I don't know if it's just me or if it's a universal thing, but when I type in a search sometimes not only the results aren't what I was looking for, but I see the query itself has been changed to something I didn't actually search for. It's INCREDIBLY frustrating. I just might have to find a new search engine if this keeps up.
My search engine skills are failing me tonight. Does anybody know of a tool that will convert an HTML document into markdown? Linux obviously and CLI would be nice. I want to use it for a script.
@mike it sounds like your source HTML contains the scripts to pull the content in, rather than the content itself.
Open the page in Firefox/Chrome, hit F12 to open the devtools window, and then the inspector tab. You should be able to right-click the HTML tag there and copy it, then just paste to a new file.
This'll give you the DOM rather than the original HTML, so it'll have the loaded content in there for parsing.
@stux And I bet that not only happens with that post. It also happens with posts by AfD, Forza Italia, VOX, Chega... and by democratic parties too. So, polarization and far-right go brrr.
Is there a good resource or book for learning about some of the details of how webservers work?
For example if I want an IP address on a intranet to be a webpage that people on that intranet can go to... how would I set that up from scratch. Let's say I have a machine with a static IP on the local net... (but what I really also need to understand is how a static IP is established locally, a DNS?)
Maybe the dream book or resource doesn't exist. But I ask anyway.
They do smart things, but these are also very complicated things, partial documents, compression, multiplexing of a single connection, push notifications and so on.
It's no longer a casual thing.
But a TCP/IP server that implements HTTP/1.0 is a nice weekend project.
“…Justice Kennedy found for the crt that the failure of an objectively biased jdg to recuse him- or herself is not “harmless error” just because the biased jdg’s vote is not apparently determinative in the vote of a panel of jdgs. A biased jdg contaminates the proceeding not just by the casting &/tabulation of his or her own vote but by participating in the body’s collective deliberations & affecting, even subtly, other judges’ percep of the case.”

Good news for those of us with Irritable Bowel Disease. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long or beg our doctors to prescribe it when available
if you can't be in a coalition with people you disagree with on at least a few things, you can't build a coalition big enough to accomplish anything in the United States or defeat rising fascism.
@TonyStark the only thing I have to add (given some very good existing replies) is that this is how the other side has been successful. That's the proof. They realized that with a binary system but fragmented electorate only coalitions could win reliably over time. So the business and evangelical wings forged an alliance in the Reagan era. Bankers don't really give a shit about abortion and preachers don't care about banking regulation. But they vote for each other's issues and they win.
@TonyStark (the other thing they did was started at the bottom and built a ground game. This means both taking power in local politics and taking control of the party apparatus itself. I think leftists & progressives should follow these models too. Tired of the same old bullshit from the donkey party? Take that shit over starting at the precinct level. It'll take time but it will actually work if enough people buy in. But "I'm taking over the Democratic party from the inside" won't get you laid)
@caseyliss is this 1PW7 or 8?
I've started trying 1PW8 on macOS and don't see too many issues so far - but it is scary. I've always seen certain websites that won't autofill, and 1PW7 fairly often doesn't store the password. But I pre-save the password as I set up the account.
@MrRooni and team might want to wade through this?
@siracusa@caseyliss@ismh86 I would have switched to keychain already but I have to use a windows PC for work so need something that’s Windows compatible. If Apple includes keychain as part of their windows tools then I’ll switch.

@scudery@heldum@LivBu souvenir d'avoir bugué quand la 4 ans d'une copine parlait de vulve pépouse (la pauvre avait facilement des irritations à cet endroit, donc y'avait des rappels maternels avant la douche pour qu'elle la lave bien etc, ses parents lui ayant appris tôt à s'occuper elle même de ses parties intimes).
A la fois en mode :blobPikaFail: :wtf: et à la fois en mode "mais OUI, c'est tellement évident" (par la fille qui a capté c'était quoi tellement réellement la vulve en lisant une BD de Liv Stormquist à 30 ans passé)
Cœur et bravo sur les adultes qui apprennent tout ça aux enfants, c'est précieux
@GeorgiaSoupault@scudery@heldum@LivBu j’ai plus d’une fois du ramasser les mâchoires (tombées au sol) de copines en week-end avec nous à la campagne quand elles entendait une levantine de 3-6 ans qu’elles aidaient à prendre le bain, les rectifier d’un joyeux « ça veut rien dire [zigounette/foufoune/zézette], c’est la vulve ».
Le moment de suspens de l’adulte dont les rouages cérébraux s’arrêtent, se reconfigurent et s’engrènent à nouveau est assez fun à voir.
With the disclaimer that this is absolutely not a prediction of what the jury will do, not much in the jury instructions change what I had to say here:
Chris, you might want to read the jury instructions to see what the prosecution has to prove. I linked to them earlier. The explanation of the crimes starts at about page 20 (if I recall)
@RufusJCooter@MillardPhillmore@Teri_Kanefield
Yeah, this seems to be accurate. I've heard other legal commentators explaining that it's similar to charging a burglar with burglary if he's caught breaking into a house even though we don't know what he was planning to steal once he got in there. The burglar himself might not even know what he was planning to steal since he hasn't seen what there is to steal yet. It's still burglary even if the house is empty with nothing worth stealing.
There’s a lot of commentary about the film The Idea of You bc Anne Hathaway plays a 40 year old mom who is attractive.
I have not seen the movie, but as a mom of 2 who is also older than Anne Hathaway, the seemingly widespread surprise(?) that women of a certain age can still be engaging & lovely seems so silly.
It makes zero difference whether #Alito had “nothing to do with” flying the U.S. flag upside down or with flying the “Appeal to Heaven” flag. Both were flown at his residences. This would give any reasonable person grounds to believe he condones the sentiments and ideas those flags represent. 3/ #LawFedi
There is zero indication in #Alito ‘s letter that made any effort to engage seriously with the recusal tenet of the Code of Ethics he committed himself to. He did not put himself in the shoes of the reasonable person aware of all the circumstances. That requires articulating how the situation seems from that perspective, not just defensive and conclusively assertions. 4/ https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/samuel-alito-refuses-recuse-flags-1235029552/
@dgar In my work I've integrated ChatGPT to translate English statements into SQL to query the database, and it works really well. We never send any data to OpenAI: that would give it the chance to hallucinate incorrect answers and get the maths wrong. Instead we only send the database schema, it translates the question into a query, then we run the query locally.
And it's good. Useful. Much easier to use than teaching box office managers to write SQL.
@bencurthoys
I agree that AI has legitimate uses across a number of fields. From finding pictures that contain dogs in your photos app, to analysing the massive amounts of data from our space telescopes, to protein folding, to material science, to explaining what a piece of code does…. it’s a thing we can make computers do now, another tool in the toolbox.
Just throwing it out there now, preemptively: any suspect flags you see hanging from my house, any insurrections that I may or may not have taken part in, any World War II or civil war memorabilia that you may find prominently displayed in my house...
My wife did it! Blame her! That woman doesn't know how to act!
Maybe I try to look for the sunny side of the street too often, but this is just funny to me. Many of the January 6th Insurrectionists now have felony records, and can no longer own a firearm. THEY TOOK AWAY THEIR OWN GUNS! LOL
@ang6666@RickiTarr Right. It doesn't. And in red-states, small towns, for Jan 6 convictions, they'll look the other way. Selective enforcement is real once you get out of the big cities.
L'argument littéraire, on l'avait pas vu venir.
Bon, le pays de Balzac a maravé le pays de Shakespeare, le pays de Cervantes et le pays de Goethe mais ça c'était avant. Maintenant on s'attaque qu'aux pays qui ont des écrivains nuls
@MadameMollette On va quand même lui rappeler que même Jules Verne avait la gerbe devant la barbarie russe, et qu'il n'a écrit Michel Strogoff que parce que c'était une commande bien payée. D'ailleurs, Michel Strogoff n'est qu'un récit apocalyptique de la barbarie russe, ou le héros s'obstine dans une quête totalement inutile et trahi par les siens, dans un monde sans aucune humanité.
@dangillmor I can't say I'm happy about the word choices. True. Fox Trash Propaganda not only lies daily, it also distorts perception by disproportionate coverage of true stories of violence whenever a minority is involved and ignoring or downplaying violence by perceived privileged groups and as such pitting people against people in effort to establish minority rule by the owner class and locking in the working class in their "proper place" as the subservient wage slaves to the owner class.
@dangillmor It's a good thing at least one media company Fox with a very large audience assails that confused and corrupted judge Merchano.His court is nothing more than a side-show.
#ClimateDiary my heart goes out to everyone in Delhi, especially the workers and street vendors, children and elderly, the many without AC. Water scarcity and rationing; overflowing morgues in Rajasthan.
