For a marketing company that doubles as a tech company, Apple's latest iPad Pro is incredibly tone-deaf. https://www.computerworld.com/article/2099740/apples-worst-ad-ever.html by @sjvn

#Apple's horrid iPad Pro ad gives you every reason-not--to buy one, or anything else from the company.

BASIC turns 60: Why simplicity was this programming language's blessing and its curse https://zdnet.com/article/basic-turns-60-why-simplicity-was-this-programming-languages-blessing-and-its-curse/ by @sjvn

If you're younger, odds are you've never used BASIC, but if it weren't for that language, neither Apple nor Microsoft would be where they are today.

The Osborne 1 was my first "portable" computer. If I'd tried swinging it like this, my arm would have come off in five minutes. It weighed almost 25 pounds.

Regardless of what happens with Hashicorp, IBM, and Terraform,
OpenTofu 1.7 is good for both Infrastructure as Code and, with new end-to-end encryption, DevSecOps as well.

Knowing that the next release is a major point release makes upgrading to this one a little less sweet, no?: GIMP 2.10.38: The Last Stable Update before the 3.0 Release https://linuxiac.com/gimp-2-10-38-image-manipulation-program/

A 3yo thread I'm reposting from Xitter:

On #YomHaShoah I think about the Jews of Švihov, whose torn Torah my shul was gifted with. We say Kaddish for them even though, for many of them, their first or full names are lost and we only have a last name or, at worst, birth year.

Only their Torah survived, and that was defaced. The shul is currently working to have it restored. But even when we first received it, almost 2 years ago, we gave it pride of place.

With the Torah comes a mandate to continue to remember the Jews who once revered & taught from it. Who were killed while their scrolls were warehoused by Nazis.

And also to continue to teach the world what hate can do & why people of love & solidarity must ALWAYS intervene.

I've been crying through this whole thread. Our Torah represents a whole village killed, whole families. Some of them were only small children.

This is why my shul takes its anti-racism and anti-hate work so seriously.

I watched a bunch of "Super 70mm Panavision 50s-Style" AI-generated highly stylized movie trailers of films like Dune, Star Wars, LOTR etc. The first four or so were mesmerizing. Then it felt like I had eaten a bag of Cheetos and I got a little nauseous & I never need to see them again.

I get so, so tired of how some people have a knee-jerk reaction about how the big #cloud companies "steal" #opensource software. No, no, they don't. They often help build it.
