Y'a quelqu'un.e qui a carafé du vin, chez moi, quand j'étais pas là, j'ai jamais carafé du vin et j'ai pas cet objet. C'est forcément Ado1, y'avait que lui 😳😳😳
J'vais attendre son retour en me servant un verre 😁
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: 🧵
Very related hot take: ~ all FOSS devconf talks would be better if the speaker was actually forced to submit slides ahead of time because of a "make talks handout-centric" requirement like this. They'd have more time to practice the talk, lengthy walls of text could be relegated to the handout where they belong, links would actually be usable, and yes, a11y (not just for "traditional" a11y reasons but for non-dominant-language speakers as well).
@miriamrobern When I see a cis queer person on a dating app and they list Harry Potter was one of their top interests, they are basically telling me they don't date or have friends that are trans people...or if they do, they aren't very good to them
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
@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?
@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.
So I've just been doing some tidying in the garage and I found this old #Compaq#Netbook. I've put it on charge, but do we think it will boot, and what OS do we think it's running?
@kev@popey instead of using archive.ubuntu.com, use old-releases.ubuntu.com in your sources.list. Keep in mind that old-releases has no country code in the url.
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.
@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
@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.
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
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.
These AI SEO spam operations have used lists of common searches to ensure that their pages come up first in searches in the “long fat tail” the kind of search where it used to be about 50/50 if you’d find a page addressing your needs. But, it used to be if you found something like “The top 15 smallest ants in the world” it wouldn’t be nonsense. It’d either exist and be the work of another person who cared OR you found nothing. Not so now! I can’t possibly over-stress how bad this is! 1/

And it's even worse for asking about consumer products. Try finding the best mechanical keyboard to buy in 2024 on Google... https://youtu.be/yL1d3n-BNuE
Oh, and you just might end up poisoning your cat
@nixCraft
Makes me wonder if there's an intermediary solution.. like a secondary system that watches the whole damn thing cuts out the ads and then serves it up to you later..
