@django if there is I think @parismarx might know - he did a podcast series called Days Vampires about the physical and social impact of datacenters for AI and similar

Nothing to make you marvel at the wonders of technology like a massive cookie consent dialog ON THE TELLY 🤡💩

@meraord korsnäbb kanske?

@grimalkina absolutely agree. Long form is long form, in natural language or something compilable. Also arguable that the significant literature of the latter half of C20 was written in COBOL and of C21 to date is in Python :-)

@1br0wn Been saying this for years, nice to see people with more knowledge and skill than me make the argument as well.

“First, we discuss the human rights framework underlying the right to vote… Here, our conclusion is that transparency in elections is a prerequisite to trust in the outcome of elections, and as such it is a core requirement of the right to vote. Then we focus on how Electronic Voting Machines compare to a paper-based election process when it comes to transparency; we conclude there that EVMs have a fundamental problem satisfying this requirement.” https://www.ivir.nl/new-report-the-right-to-trust-your-vote-cybersecurity-human-rights-and-electronic-voting/

I have another friend who literally educates your best and brightest in a public school, and she probably has to leave because her school totally bungled her H-1B renewal and green card in an almost comedic fashion.

I know people from ‘good countries’ (the ones you say you want more immigrants from! Not brown or black people!) with advanced degrees who have gone through so much shit you can’t even imagine. Life-changing, overnight hair-greying degrees of experiences with the immigration system

@0xabad1dea There's a sheep pen in central Lausanne which I used to pass by when going into town (and a couple of much larger ones right by the two universities).

I'm against Rust and memory safety in general because it makes bugs in video games boring. Oh you crashed and I can just reopen the game right where I stopped? Snoooooore.

I want my Mario to turn pink and die and corrupt my save file, is that too much to ask?

How are we even going to get inspiration for shitty creepypastas. Have you even thought of that?

include schematics of the PCB so you can model how different components may or may not be affected by the corrosion

@mshelton no, lose 5 billion dollars. It's 5 billion in _losses_, not 5 billion in _costs_

Intressant läsning i Polistidningen angående polisens navigationsstöd Titan:
"Vad gäller navigation på cykelbanor så omfattas inte dessa av navigationsstödet eftersom det finns för många oförutsägbara hinder som till exempel betongsuggor."
"...för många oförutsägbara hinder..."

@Aleums @zorotl also not even acknowledging the existence of folk traditions at all???

@skinnylatte mm, having migrated in the second easiest possible way (postdoc not within EU but from EU to Switzerland) I absolutely appreciate what you write there.

@Aleums what the fuck is ol' Michel even talking about there?

@skinnylatte n.b. this is doubly true for.the imperial core.

@skinnylatte No nations, no borders, refugees and migrants both should be welcomed with open arms everywhere they go.

@dixon I've never worked at CF specifically, but when I was in infosec 2001-2014 the industry was hit or miss on it. Earlier the tendency to rush was present, but either it wasn't as strong yet or else I wasn't as attuned to it yet.

The part of IBM I was in (ISS/X-Force, 2006-9 and 12-14) honestly was pretty okay on this particular point. And when I took a step away from corporate and worked at Emory University Libraries 2006-9 it felt pretty balanced. I wonder if any of those are still things.

🦝 "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE STRIPEYSOCKED ROMHACKERS" I squeal as the December water finally whispers its first gentle kiss beneath me and my balls shoot out of my ears
