The M/V Dali cargo ship, stuck in the Patapsco River for weeks after it brought down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, has been refloated this morning, according to the US Army Corps of Engineers.

@ferricoxide @w7voa
Given that it was outgoing at the time of the accident and that it is not seaworthy in a long time, if ever -- all that cargo will surely be unloaded as soon as a suitable terminal is reached, perhaps to be reloaded onto other carriers. Right?

osma,
@osma@mas.to avatar

@ferricoxide @w7voa
absolute majority of that cargo has been sitting in containers aboard for all this time. Only the first few rows were crushed and only very few fell offboard.. As for delay, "only" somewhat longer than those caused by M/S Evergiven (on all of the ships stuck behind it), and no longer than everything else stuck in or out of Baltimore. That is, a gigantic inventory of stuff.

@SuneAuken
A 470 pound warhead is nothing against a large bridge even when configured as a bunker-busting charge. To drop the bridge, a score of 4 times heavier JDAM (Mk 84) would still be a small strike package. Few missiles carry enough boom for the job - which is precisely why Ukraine's success so far against the bridge has been via land or sea route.

🧵 I wrote ab the “is Signal secure?” manufactroversy on X. The Guardian wanted an explainer on why Elon & Jack were “concerned” about Signal. The answer, though, has nothing to do w/Signal’s product. It was part of an extended fight over whether woke NPR should be defunded & the CEO fired. Why? Because the CEO of NPR is on the board of Signal; by the Transitive Property of Bad People, Signal is thus compromised.

Weird that we can't explain a few kubic meters heavy radioactive waste from the NL each year but somehow we can justify pumping our Atmosphere full with toxics each day with our burning engines

"Oehhh all things radioactive are soo scary, we can't setup our grandkids with that" is what they say

But apparently they are totally fine with ruining the climate and expel toxic next where you breath

Until we have something better like fusion we should stick with fission also, but what do I know!🤷

has not changed its position on potential Ukrainian strikes with -supplied weapons on Russian territory, even after had launched its offensive in Oblast, spokesperson Sabrina said at a press briefing on May 16.

"We believe that the equipment, the capabilities that we are giving Ukraine, that other countries are giving to should be used to take back Ukrainian sovereign territory,"

https://kyivindependent.com/pentagon-us-arms/

osma,

Taking back Ukrainian territory begins by striking every airfield hosting russian bombers - not just Belbek. It continues by striking every piece of artillery and force concentration on russian side of frontline, whether Donbas, Crimea, Belgorod or Rostov. Striking every ammunition and weapons factory, warehouse or logistics route russians use, where ever it may be.

Blinken got the memo. Now Biden must get it, too. Scholz, as well.

Compared to the American M777, it is a significantly longer caliber (= longer range) and equipped with an auxiliary power unit enabling it to be moved on the field without a tow vehicle.

"Väärinkäyttö ei koske henkilöitä, jotka ovat kieltäneet tietojen luovuttamisen liikenteeseen liittyviin tarkoituksiin."

Tämä on yksi merkittävimmistä pielessä olevista asioista digitaalisissa viranomaispalveluissa. On vaikea pysyä perillä siitä, missä kaikissa paikoissa on tarjolla tietoa, jonka luovuttamisesta (muille kuin viranomaisille) pitää osata erikseen kieltäytyä. Näiden pitäisi toimia niin päin, että tietojen luovuttaminen on kiellettyä, jos sitä ei ole erikseen sallittu.

Logged in to Stack Overflow for the first time in 10 years to check exactly what have I left there.. Now, since the few answers I've given are CC-BY, so they must attribute them to me, if I make a GDPR data subject request for them to delete all my data, logic dictates that whatever they think about text as personal data, they must delete the answers, because they can't attribute them to me as a deleted account. Right?

Every license contains clauses stipulating the conditions under which it can be revoked. Some argue that letting an LLM "copy" content without attribution is such a violation. Some argue otherwise. Clearly we're in some kind of gray area..

A bit of weirdness I hadn't noticed before. While you can on free text now, it won't find links. Meanwhile, the Trending/Explore view has the "News" section which will only show links (along with metadata like "125 people shared", but not the toots themselves).

So Mastodon will recommend you links people talk about, but will obscure the talk itself. Do I have to explain the ways in which this can be actively harmful?

osma,
@osma@mas.to avatar

On , you still can not:

  1. See the toots which cause a link to be added to the "Trending News" list of the server. Ie, you can't tell why they're trending.
  2. Search for a URL, so you can't find who's talking about something, even if full text search is enabled.

It's been this way ever since full text was enabled last year.
