No, no they did not. We do not need a cookie banner because […]

Wie viele Beweise braucht es noch, für das breit anerkannte Unvermögen des Kulturstaatsministers Wolfram #Weimer, der #Kultur nicht unterstützt, wie es qua Amt seine Aufgabe wäre, sondern der sie ganz bewusst politisch bekämpft?

They are already testing integrating Persona's API with hosted projects on Open Collective that are using Open Source Collective (the fiscal host). Maybe you haven't heard of Persona yet?
"All of these personal details and images can be shared with Persona’s “global network of partners,” […]
I don't know what @opencollective and @OpenSourceCollective are thinking with this move, but this situation needs to be reconsidered. This is going to have a massive blow back when the actual users of Open Collective realize what's going on.
Seemingly I managed to accidentally upgrade a PC to Windows 11 without signing in to a Microsoft account. I thought that was getting more difficult?
I would have, but nice that it didn't even ask

shout-outs to @thisismissem for working on Federated Credential Management API - and thanks to #atproto for funding her work <3
And the best thing: it will not only help bluesky and ATProto, but it will also help ActivityPub and the Fediverse!
Decentralized is the future.
thx for your work for […]
Standards work is about coming together and working on reaching a shared consensus on a thing. We don't do corporate politics, or government politics, at standards meetings nor venues.
Sure, you can disagree on things outside of the standards world, but within, the only thing that matters is […]
So there's a tiny tiny percentage of people in my mentions right now that are accusing me of horrible things because they don't like Bluesky and I've taken money from them.
For these people, I'm not saying you have to like Bluesky's moderation practices or the decision they make for their own […]
We should have a term like Dunkelflaute, but for fossil fuels. They seem to be way more unpredicatble than renewables these days
A kitten. She’s back and white and gorgeous.
Still technically #caturday, so let me introduce Freya.
You will see much of her over the next decade or so.
At 10 weeks old she has the kind of whiskers, ear hair, and wayward eyebrows I - a man in his late 40s - can only dream of.
I missed the infosec.exchange maintenance window due to spending time with my dog this morning. I’ll reschedule.
An open box containing a mechanical device with various components, including a green base, a white part, and an instruction manual titled "Star Adventurer." The box is filled with protective foam, and there are miscellaneous papers and a backpack visible on a table
A sealed box labeled "Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i Pro Pack," designed for astrophotography equipment, featuring a Wi-Fi symbol. The box has a black background with white text and an image of the gear inside.

I’m putting up my star tracker up for sale. Just because I don’t see myself using it as much as I thought I would when I bought it :(
Listed at 500$ in Craigslist, but can give it away for 450$ for anyone answering […]

A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is […]

A table laying out the impact assessment by component
Fairphone put out a document that takes a holistic look at the environmental impact of electronics. Everything detailed by component, material, process, etc. Really interesting for those looking to dig deeper […]

huh, you can _almost_ use YouTube on Servo at this point
(videos don't play, which arguably improves the experience, but you can log into a google account, browse the site, the layout is mostly functional, etc. all incredibly impressive achievements)
codeberg seems to just work
![The creator of ChatGPT is named "Altman," as in "alternative to human" and he leads OpenAI, which is completely closed.
His main opponent is the company Anthropic, meaning "human-centered" is led by "Amodei," as in "loves gods".
Then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a cmpany that says it will do no evil.
Brilliant work as always Kojima!

Mar 01 9:41 AM PST We want to provide some additional information on the power issue in a single Availability Zone in the ME-CENTRAL-1 Region. At around 4:30 AM PST, one of our Availability Zones (mec1-az2) was impacted by objects that struck the data center, creating sparks and fire.
June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a “water intrusion event”
February 2026: an Amazon data center in the Middle East is literally struck by a fucking ballistic missile in a hot war and they call it “impacted by objects”

a detail you probably didn't know: no where in any #curl documentation do we use the word "very". It is a banned word enforced by a CI check. This rule encourages us to rewrite and instead use more appropriate words. Makes us write better English.
Just in case anyone is wondering, I would still like to see the rest of the Epstein materials even though there's now a war going on. I can handle multiple things at once. Don't hold back on my account.

all of my passkeys* live in a KeePassXC database and I am _both_ safe from phishing _and_ from the services becoming unavailable because I lost a hardware token, which is why I like them

Not just from SE Asia. A refugee from the Rohingya community that fled Myanmar. In a genocide accelerated by Facebook.
