Putain! il pleut depuis 8 mois. Les sols n absorbent plus. Certains terrains sont inondés, beaucoup sont impraticables. On a de l oiduim, du milieu, du botrytis sur les plantes. Les jours d ensoleillement sont rares. On a eu plusieurs tempêtes.
Et on nous demande de ne pas nous plaindre parce qu en Espagne il fait 40°C. Mais vous avez pas compris que le dérèglement climatique était les extrêmes. Vous avez pas compris qu une inondation fait autant de dégâts qu une sécheresses.

@RickiTarr I ate fried silkworms when I lived in Asia, they were surprisingly pleasant, tasted like hazelnut

I also ate fried grasshoppers which taste like a McDonald’s French fry although I avoided the big spiky back legs

I drew the line at ant egg salad and scorpions roasted on sticks though

I heard many folks at PyCon — including a few very prominent ones who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty! — claiming that “black text on a white background” is uniformly and obviously the superior accessibility choice for conference presentations, for various reasons. This is, at the very least, debatable, and I think it would not be too spicy of a take to say it is straightforwardly incorrect. Some evidence follows: 🧵

@luis_in_brief @matt

"The "They'd have more time to practice the talk"" argument?

That's indeed a hot take, because the best time to practice and fix a talk is the time in public transport (trains, planes) and the evening before in the hotel, when normal work distractions are fewer.

Requiring you to pre-submit the slides will lead to talks with a worse flow, more errors and unhappy speakers.

@luis_in_brief@social.coop avatar

@mborus @matt yes, that's a very common opinion, which is one of the many reasons conference talks are very commonly terrible

So I've just been doing some tidying in the garage and I found this old . I've put it on charge, but do we think it will boot, and what OS do we think it's running?

I thiiiiink that all this email actually means is "Find My Device will now include bluetooth devices at their location last seen by an Android phone, which means that if your phone is disconnected from the Internet but Bluetooth is on then Find My Device can still find it if another Android device passes nearby (unless you disable this feature)".

But uhhhh wow Google used some pretty alarming language to describe it

sjjh,
@sjjh@hachyderm.io avatar

@mcc @Claire The HSM (Hardware Security Module) doesn't have to be a whole chip. On an Android phone it could be an isolated Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) in the processor.
Bluetooth accessories must already do some key agreement and encryption, with devices. So maybe they do have hardware security?
A small SIM card or eSIM or credit card would have an HSM right?

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@sjjh @Claire No, that makes sense. Although among the things I'm wondering are "what are the battery and manufacturing costs associated with adding this feature to earbuds?". I don't know what I'd do with that information, but I'm curious.

@forrestbrazeal 4/5 The fifth panel is titled "Amazon sponsors all OSS projects in perpetuity" and shows a person in business attire handing a bottle to a person sitting at a desk with a computer on it. The person in business attire says "You work for us now. Here's your pee bottle". The panel also includes the author's fedi handle.

@forrestbrazeal 5/5 The sixth panel is titled "Straight-up bribery" and shows a person in a spy outfit talking to a hoodie wearing person in front of a computer. The spy says "I'll give you $50k to merge my malicious PR" and the hoodie wearing person responds "Buddy, for $0 you can take over this whole cursed project."

Any tips for consoling a four year old who is suddenly very very upset about the idea of death and dying?

We're making it clear he's got a long long long time to be alive yet, as have we, while trying to be real and not tell any fairy stories - but he's very young of course and can't imagine ever being sort of "done" and really really doesn't want to ever die 😭

(Please nothing about climate change etc. in this situation - I'm well aware I've brought a child into a period of change that sucks.)

@prozacchiwawa sounds great but might be a challenge for me to understand let alone digest for a four year old 😅

The deeply serious reply-guys of Mastodon: conducting an argument (that they started, natch) with "what ifs"; and their main points of reference are "small tribes" and their assumedly deep, universal, and primitive need for "police"; and Mr. Bean. Oh also refusing to read the abolitionist links people are providing.

Don't ever change, Mastodon

@ErikUden seems like they've updated it there now, although the wording still seems somewhat pervasive? also showing Gemini's response for comparison. Gemini doesn't seem to want to answer the subject at all from either side.

I do always wonder if these kinda things aren't pre-prompted with something weird that caused the conflicting output, it's hard to tell with just the last few lines being screenshot, and it's not impossible to make them 'roleplay' all kinds of asinine things.

Pretty good summary of the drawbacks of having a single-user Mastodon instance that result from ActivityPub's architecture (and partially from Mastodon's implementation): https://mull.net/mastodon

It's nice to be in control of your account, but you need to know what you're getting yourself into.

@jglypt And tbh it worked like shit until the 4.2 update, it wasn't really possible to find what I wanted anyway, they only fixed everything there in 4.2

mackuba,
@mackuba@martianbase.net avatar

@jglypt I can't say if I recommend it or not, at least you know the possible challenges :) The Masto.host base plan looks pretty good I think, and you'll avoid having to mess with configuring and installing everything.

Whenever I hear politicians talking about trusting the British public to do the right thing come the general election, I'm reminded that every year dozens of people in this country take part in a race, which is essentially just falling down a big hill behind some cheese.

Yet more people mid-fall - one is upside down impressively
People realising they've made a mistake
Oh no. Why did I agree to do this?

Uraael,

@econads @TheBreadmonkey s'ok, my bols go hyper now and again too. Does them good.

This would definitely make voting much more fun for audiences.

Mdr quand je vois les terminales qui ont l'intégralité du contenu du frigo sur leur table pendant les épreuves, je me rappelle de mes examens à moi, demandant à ma mère "jpeux emporter des trucs à manger pour les épreuves du bac ?"
Ma mère " tiens voilà 2 goûters"
Ouais les goûters vous vous rappelez les biscuits tous secs là
Autant dire que j'emmenais rien mdr
