That whole story about toothbrushes and the way it was regurgitated across all kinds of “news outlets” (I’m using that word sarcastically) just makes me so sad about the state of journalism.

It’s crashed to the level of click/ outrage generating content. That’s all it is now.

And actual journalists doing the actual work are squeezed out by these click bait companies flooding the zone.

Dear @EU_Commission,
Could you maybe put a clean HTML version of the NIS2 directive online, for us to easily parse and have read by a machine or process?

Because I’m sorry, but this ain’t it:

BLACK ROCK CITY, Nevada -- Burning Man has closed its entrance and exits gates and told its approximately 73,000 attendees to conserve food, fuel and water as continuing rains make driving off the Black Rock Desert near-impossible.

Is there a technical reason behind the decision to have hashtags break on hyphen [-test], but not underscore []?

My context: CVE numbers are formatted with hypens (CVE-2017-0144), not underscores.

Okay. Weirdness.

Looking up the symbol 🇮🇷 on my iPhone (quick way of knowing the country), and I get a Wikipedia reference to a Sovjet are D-30 howitzer?!

Doesn’t seem to matter which App I use.

Does the flag of Iran somehow contain something which can be interpreted as “D30?” Or is this a massive troll I don’t understand?

I checked how the emoji is created, and it is a combination of regional indicator “I” (U+1F1EE) and regional indicator “R”(U+1F1F7), so that’s my TIL covered.

avuko, to RedHat

I have no detailed opinions about what is doing, because I don’t know about the ins- and outs of their ecosystem or what may or may not be GPL etc.

But reading the whole blog post at https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hats-commitment-open-source-response-gitcentosorg-changes, it struck me that what started as:

“[…] there isn’t value in having a downstream rebuilder.”

ended with:

“Simply rebuilding code, […] represents a real threat to open source companies.”

I’m seeing a company, in this case , considering , and etc. as a “real threat” to their profits, and deciding to kill them off.

This is completely expected behaviour, because for-profits exist for one thing only: Profit.

Can we please stop believing companies when they say they are pro-FOSS (or for-people)? Those companies simply don’t exist.

For that person who thought it a good idea to send a whole bunch of your employees’ PII and tax forms over email on a Friday afternoon—to a personal email address—without thoroughly checking whether you have the correct email address: maybe wait til Monday-after-coffee?

And maybe count your blessings it went to my inbox.

RFC: does anybody know of an offline tool (so nothing cloudy please) that makes good visualisations of a ? I’m hoping for something I could feed a CSV and get a way to visualise what happened, with zoom in/out etc.

This is before I yet again start a project to later discover I’ve redone something, probably less well.

Thanks in advance!🙏🏻

A jackdaw came right up to me just now. Clearly lots of experience with people eating croissants, and the ensuing mess.

I decided to throw it a little piece, when I noticed its insane accuracy catching it. It wasn’t just a deep grasp of winds, trajectories and speeds of objects. I figure that’s a necessary skill for birds.

This little bird with its piercing sky blue eyes was extremely precise and quick in its movements and eye-beak coordination. I threw it some more, and it caught them all flawlessly.

After I stepped away, it also somehow remembered exactly where to find the other flakes I hadn’t even noticed I dropped.

continue to intrigue and amaze me.

This is (again) absolutely worth reading, even if just for this quote from the article:

By @pluralistic

“If, on the other hand, the problem is that AI systems just suck and shouldn’t be trusted to fly drones, or drive cars, or decide who gets bail, or identify online hate-speech, or determine your creditworthiness or insurability, then all those AI companies are out of business.”

The $500 billion ‘Office real estate apocalypse’: Researchers find remote work’s effect even worse than expected | Fortune https://fortune.com/2023/05/25/office-space-crash-harder-than-expected-remote-work-economy-cre-crash/

“And in their model, that equates to a $500 billion “value destruction,” nationwide.”

In case you wondered: That’s value for someone other than you and me, the office workers.

Did even a single one of all of those C-level people, their HR, sycophant managers, the newspapers, the real estate companies, brokers etc.

Did even a single one of those who insisted you and I should go back to the office, ever have the courage to tell you it was for their profits, and for their profits only?

All those times you and I ventured out, without a vaccin, with flimsy screens between desks, pretend masks, hand sterilisation dispensers, arrows taped to the ground, warning signs… all to keep us away from our colleagues but IN THE OFFICE; sick, scared and dying.

All of that just so their wealth, stuffed into office buildings, the very buildings enclosing you from all sides, literal death traps, would keep its value. Value for them. Never for us. Because they don’t care about us.
