@mathias @tebriel I thought #Sandstorm @sandstorm was a way to do that, though it doesn't sound lightweight.

@warrick_w come on, you guys beat a 9-player team!

Apathy is on the rise but nobody cares

as a non-american, for my first few years of internet use, i was confused about why americans were so respectful of veterinarians

@wizzwizz4 I only know of its existence via a real-world implemention #ONDC https://ondc.org

@mmu_man @pancake is it because it uses the GPU and both HaikuOS and Debian don't (want to) bend backwards to make the drivers work?

@insane posts tagged #OpenMediaVault suggest that you could just install packaged software of choice on stock #Debian instead.

Remark concerning #Azerbaijan #Airlines #Flight #8243:

We would do well to remember the names of the pilots who died.

They fought for over an hour with a mortally wounded plane to get it as good as possible to the ground.

They had now yaw, no rudder, no ailerons, no flaps, only the power level of the engine as means of control.

Air Traffic Control denied them the use of the closest airports and sent them to cross a sea.

What they have shown is courage in the face of insurmountable odds. They knew exactly what their chances were. Their airmanship was on the highest possible level.

Their names are Igor Kshnyakin and Aleksandr Kalyaninov.

To the media: please don’t give any airtime to the obviously disinformation spreading speaker of the Kremlin and report about those who saved 29 lives.

Tech already exists as the #Beckn protocol

Political will might be the problem.
@juliank @nuxi @robpike

@nuxi @robpike I’m 61, work in IT, AND feel much the same. I can still do most anything and understand what I need to function. Yes, I’m somewhat slower at it. Most of all I don’t want to spend my time constantly reeducating myself. I no longer have the patience and a lot of the changes are just for the sake of change.

@alex unrelated to governance, but is wiki-of-wiki like #FederatedWiki https://fed.wiki.org ?

I can't think of a term I hate more in tech than "sideload", what you're actually saying is "installing software" stop using this euphemism that makes it sound like you're doing something bad, that you should be stopped from doing

@ericphelps
It has very good search, so I've not needed a strategy.
@jake

@cyberlyra Thank you for reminding everybody that he's a prat with more money than he knows what to with and likes to steal other peoples credit. I'm convinced each of his companies has a small Elon containment department. A handfull of people who's whole job it is to keep him out of things and keep the damage to a minimum when he does show up. 🤪

I don't know if it's possible to get a good answer to this but: if you learned how to make websites with, like, users who can login and do things where the website stores stuff in a database, without doing it as a job, how did you do it?

I feel like in principle I know all of the basic pieces (HTTP, HTML, CSS, SQL, CORS, CSRF, various programming languages, etc), but also somehow it still feels extremely hard to me

@b0rk @janl It might help to understand that I never saw myself as a programmer. It wasn’t a career I ever expected to pursue.

@texhewson I guess the “pedagogical we” makes sense for proofs and the like, but may sound strange in other contexts…

Some years ago, I decided to simply use “I” in scholarly articles when I refer to myself. What’s the point of using “this article,” “the author,” and similar contortions instead?

I now received a review that *strongly* suggests I write “this article proposes” instead of “I propose.” But I still fail to see how this would make the article better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#AcademicChatter

@mxp yeah, I am on the I side of this fence too.We have that hilarious letter from Einstein about gravitational lensing after all.

@cinimodev aren't they giving an overlay filesystem for writable storage? Or just mount separate writable filesystems?
