🐈 naming things is often called "the easiest problem in computer science" because you can just call it x or i or whatever

For reasons that I cannot disclose right now, but will soon, I recently looked into BIMI. And... I have some concerns. BIMI is a spec built on top of DKIM and DMARC, and allows companies to show a logo beside their emails in supporting frontends (like gmail). It requires purchasing a very expensive certificate, I think the justification for it is dubious, and I am not a fan. But even if we put that aside, it's also very strange on a technical level. 🧵

@hanno it's called a "verified mark certificate" because it certifies that they verified that you truly are a mark.

If only my knowledge of EU law had the desired impact this fast every time 🙂

My father wanted to pay a EDF French electricity bill from a Belgian bank account, and was told that this was not possible because the bank was outside France

I formulated a stern email to EDF for him, in French, stipulating this was not allowed as a reason within the Single European Payment Area (SEPA), and within a few hours they relented in a grovelling email!

The UK left the EU.
The French didn't leave the EU - they never joined. They joined the UE 😉

Open letter to Nature editors complaining about the lack of code availability for AF3 (Publishing code is normally a prerequisite for publishing in Nature)

Using AI to add bugs faster woo!

This misses the point that understanding and debugging are the rate limiting steps, actually writing the code often isn’t

This will write a lot of code with little understanding, which to me is a retrograde step

Old man shakes fist at cloud, I know

@graemewinter "free up coders to new heights of creativity", because if there's one thing that's really holding us back, it's a lack of creative code.

Der ICC haut Haftbefehle gegen Netanjahu und Gallant raus für diverse Kriegsverbrechen nach Artikel 7 und 8 des Rom-Statuts. Darunter auch das Aushungern der Zivilbevölkerung als Kollektivbestrafung.

Für die Hamas-Bosse hagelt es ebenfalls Haftbefehle für diverse Verbrechen und die sofortige Freilassung der Geiseln wird gefordert.

Sie erkennen das Recht Israels sich zu verteidigen ausdrücklich an, aber betonen, dass das nach internationalem Recht geschehen muss.

Like, it continues updating the terminal, but it looks as if the file scanner simply stops doing anything. No CPU usage either.

I don't think I even want to know why, but I'd be surprised if it's restic's fault. 🙄

Oxford City Council determines UK has left the Council of Europe.

Also: BBC can't be bothered to do a modicum of journalism to figure out that the council determined this.

I've flagged this (haha) with the BBC.

And as a treat, here's the Coventry Evening Telegraph reporting that the flag of the Council of Europe is flying over Coventry on the 15th of March 1956. "The flag is azure blue, with 12 stars."

Preceeding the Treaties of Rome, EC, EU, and whatnot.
