It's really annoying when the Venn-diagram of USERS and SYS-ADMINS is just circle consisting only of YOU.

Whoever wrote, reviewed, and approved this at the OpenSSF.

Consider leaving the organization. I am not joking. You have no idea what you are talking about; you know nothing about Open Source, and you seem to know nothing about Security, either.

Even less all these things combined. Just. Leave. Resign. It is ok to realize you are not the right person for that position. It happened to me before.

Have some self-respect.

#Serif pledges to keep the perpetual licensing model going into the future. Yes, these kinds of corporate posts don't actually mean anything, but I am a bit more hopeful than I was yesterday.

@hen in the latest Q&A you mention you had to sign up to a newsletter via email.
I've been using https://kill-the-newsletter.com/ which turns emails into an RSS feed. I'm sure you can figure out whether the privacy trade off is worth it for you :)

Behold Neal Agarwal's new game "Infinite Craft"

You combine materials and an LLM determines what the result will be

I stumbled upon it and soon my whole family was sending each other screenshots of what we'd created

"I somehow produced 'Shakespeare' and then had a blast combining Shakespeare with everything"

@clive some stuff's a bit weird, especially when you get "steamboat" and "steam boat" next to each other 🤨
But I did end up with "Santa-Saurus" so I'm happy 😏

@clive something like "Time Machine" + "Robot" for this general area. And then the T-100 + T-1000 for more zeroes and Terminator 2 + Terminator 3 = Terminator 5, etc.

I'm on my way to the Improv Festival in Amsterdam! I'll be live tooting my experience (of the festival, not just the journey) under the hashtag . Last year that amounted to about 2 posts in the late evenings recapping each day.
Last year's festival was my highlight of the year so I have high hopes again this year.
Sadly none of my friends from home are joining me (last year we were a group of 4), but now I'm certain I'll re-meet all the lovely people from last year there 😊

I'm currently on the first of 3 trains and expect to arrive in Amsterdam at about 18:00.
"Expect" is a big word though when travelling with the Deutsche Bahn. Weeks ago I already started receiving mails that my "journey wouldn't be possible as planned". We'll see 😅

Gendern mit Asterisk machen hier ja quasi alle schon. Trotzdem nochmal eine Studie, die 2021 in Befragungen verschiedener Gruppen dies auch als beste Lösung identifizierte.

"Die befragten [Menschen mit Behinderungen] empfinden den Asterisk in digitalen Anwendungen, barrierefreier und gebrauchstauglicher als den Doppelpunkt."

"BFIT-Bund schließt sich der Expert*innen Meinung an und empfiehlt unter der Maßgabe ihres Auftrages nach §8 BITV, das Gendern mit dem Asterisk."

Listening to |s on comes at the cost of many features that are standard in other free apps like adding custom feeds, chapters, intro skipping, custom skip intervals, different playback speeds per podcast, etc.
BUT, it also comes with the benefit of siloing users, and strengthening Spotify's monopoly on audio content. I for one can't wait until they reach phase 2&3 of EEE on podcasts, audio books and more 🤩

Having "not all disabilities are visible" posted at me wasn't enough to change my behavior.
A friend told me they are narcoleptic and I feel like a complete ass for having commented on them looking tired a couple of times in the past.
I took "not all disabilities are visible" to just mean to accept when people tell you they have a disability/illness, but it also means don't blame/shame people for their "weird" behavior/moods/habits. (And those actually should be fine even without any disability)

Ich mache mir einen gemütlichen Winter. Abends, anstatt einen Film und Chips, gibt's jetzt immer ein Buch und Glühwein. Mittags gibt's als Nachtisch eine Orange und Glühwein. Morgens trinke ich statt Kaffee einen Glühwein.

People be like: "It's so great that SERVICE now also has FUNCTION for which I previously used OTHER SERVICE. Now I only need one subscription"
And then 3 years later be like: "Woah, SERVICE has increased pricing 10-fold, is still serving ads in premium and is killing children for fun, but there's no alternatives. I remember OTHER SERVICE being great, what happened? How could SERVICE become a monopoly?"

@clive, I ran across your quote in Taylor Lorenz' book Extremely Online. Are you still captivated by your friends' sandwich choices or has the spell worn off?

... thousands of dots making a pointillis painting. This was never before possible, because in the real world, no friends would bother to call you up and detail the sandwiches she was eating." One Twitter user described the experience as" a type of E.S.P."—something that we wouldn't have known was possible, let alone desirable, before the dawn of Twitter. "It's like I can distantly read everyone's mind," the user told Thompson. "I love that. I feel like I'm getting to something raw about my friends. It's like I've got this heads-up display for them."

@clive
When I read the quote I took it very literally: Following IRL friends and reading their super-banal status updates like their sandwich choice.
I don't care for that.
But your rephrasing here is very much what I also like. Widening "friends" to mean "non-celebs" and upping the bar for content from complete banality to thoughts, cares, experiences.

bubble, help me out. I'm looking for a rules and setting light SciFi focusing on ships (mining, travel, and/or dog fights) rather than characters.
Like "Lasers and Feelings", but everyone gets their own ship.

I am specifically inspired by Fredrik Knudsen's excellent 6h documentary on EVE Online (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCSeISYcoyI) and want to do some space trading and exploit worm holes in mining operations 🚀

Tracy (u.a. Co-Autor von und vieler weiterer Abenteuer) verteidigt die Verwendung von in of Abarax mit einem weirden, an den Haaren herbei gezogenen Schreibmaschinenevolutions-Vergleich. Ich habe das Produkt mit ziemlich hohem Einsatz unterstützt, war mega gespannt und könnte grade kotzen 🤢
