I've seen lots of posts recently about people feeling proud of being productive, ticking off a small thing from their list, or just generally feeling relief from doing a thing.
Go you! It must be something in the water.
It's quite lovely to hear about.
Please continue to do the things so that we can live through you a little bit.
@purplepadma same! I like hearing that other people are doing things though. It's almost like there are only so many "productivity brain cells" at one time and at the moment these other people have them. They might infect our brains on another day but today is not that day!
And Jenkins 🐇 gets so much done every single day. Destroying boxes, destroying carpets, destroying skirting boards, napping, shitting in surprising places... He's an inspiration to us all.
Ukraine’s security service is accusing the country’s anti-corruption agencies of seeking “revenge” by bringing charges against Illia Vitiuk, the former head of the agency’s cybersecurity unit.
I was today year old when I found out the existence of #MLOL (Media Library On Line) to borrow #ebooks in Italy 😏
It's tricky: you need to register to a library (not many allow you to do it online: I joined Roma and Bologna ones so far), each library has their own ebooks, usually 2 books/month limit, return after 14 days etc.... but it works and it's free 🙂

Being on vacation in rural Nova Scotia is really driving home just how poorly-optimized most modern websites are for unreliable cell connections. Hovering one one bar or occasionally dropping down from 4G? Sites that preload no static content, or take like 50 separate requests, just won't work.
Anders Holmberg vågar ställa den avgörande frågan till EU-ministern: om Israel svälter ut en befolkning - och ett växande antal experter kallar det folkmord - räcker det då med ett fruset handelsavtal, alltså litet högre tullar som åtgärd?

Cassandra Crossing 640/ Possiamo vivere con computer che sbagliano?
L’introduzione forzata di LLM in tutti i settori dell’informatica, che la finanza rende obbligatoria, ha fatto una importante vittima; la fiducia nelle risposte dei computer. Ma possiamo conviverci senza perderci in un mondo fatto di allucinazioni ed errori?
Vassego! Om man vill rösta för skogen i kyrkovalet:
"De gröna i Svenska kyrkan, Vänstern i Svenska kyrkan, Himmel och jord och Socialdemokraterna stödjer samtliga av Göran Enanders förslag som de framställs i Naturskyddsföreningens enkät. Socialdemokraterna uttrycker sig dock lite mer försiktigt och vill att procentsatserna för skydd av skog och för naturnära skogsbruk spikas i dialog med stiften."
Skogen – kyrkovalets största stridsfråga | Dagens ETC
Min erfarenhet är att de mest kompetenta i frågan är Himmel och jord. S skulle jag starkt avråda att rösta på. De har inga lokalt förankrande valprogram utan allt styrs centralt. I vårt pastorat går de till val på ex. att all verksamhet för barn och unga ska vara kostnadsfri, vilket alla grupper är överens om och införde för många år sedan. De känns lika populistiska som SD.
@karlemo jag gillar visk men de är inte alltid representerade i varje församling/pastorat. Så när jag bodde i Haninge röstade jag på S. Inte för att de var så himla bra utan för att det inte riktigt fanns något annat att rösta på som inte var höger
Jag har alltid röstat POSK men i detta val blir det nog Himmel och Jord på stiftsnivå eftersom vårt stift har så mycket skog. Tyvärr har POSK lierat sig med S gällande att införa storpastorat så det blir nog inget mer POSK för mig. Jag tror det bara är Centern och kanske Frimodig kyrka som arbetar aktivt mot detta.
Lokalt tror jag POSK är ett fungerande koncept eftersom det kan samla folk av olika slag och man kan ta reda på vad de tycker och vill verka för. Det är svårare när det blir på stift och nationell nivå. Då behöver man nästan läsa vilka motioner de skrivit och hur de röstat. Iofs är det på liknande sätt med många politiska grupper också som vänder kappan efter vinden så snabbt att de mer liknar propellrar.SD är enklare: återinför Fader Vår och förbjud muslimer i SvK. 😀

Good morning! I had a good sleep and woke up before my alarm with time to meditate before breakfast. I informed the cat that it was her birthday but she seemed indifferent. We stepped out onto the patio together in dawn light, the air was fresh and the sky was completely clear apart from one bright peach con trail.
Off to campus today on the 8am train which is allegedly on time. As I have meetings over lunch I will go to the M&S cafe for brunch (a toastie and a cold drink), which is a little treat to myself.
i know that feeling. Meggie has her gotcha day this weekend - she's been here for 7 yrs. It's hard to believe, but it's also hard to remember life without her,
I was up at 5 and had my breakfast Andra did prepare it last night Now I'm enjoying my coffee outside ☕ on the balcony watching the wildlife on the Grand Union Canal. ☀️ Day Going to collect the 📦 from H&B . Before midday
It's one of my two remaining Fridays working from home (after that I am teaching a Friday workshop at school for several weeks), so I plan to enjoy lunch with my partner (who works at home full time).
@PhilRedbeard I’ve just bought myself a hot chocolate as I’m passing time in a cafe. Sadly the hot chocolate isn’t very nice. Nowhere near as good as the ones I make at home

Honestly one thing that I'd recommend along these lines (which is somewhat covered in the post) is like, you can just read code. There's lots of code and you can often read it, with or without finding bugs.

I finally started using Beyond Compare 5 at work. Oh, so much nicer to have dark mode.
I'm sure there are other features, but dark mode is a big one for me. I just have to find a good Git GUI client that does dark mode since GitExtensions (which has fantastic folder-level comparisons using Beyond Compare) betrayed me and went to blinding mode only.
In global diplomacy words can often have out-sized impact on how countries interact with each other.... so the fact that today the Tangerine Tyrant will mandate the change of title from the Department of Defence to the Department of War, may well be seen more than just a terminological shift, but an expression of Trump's view of the US' stance in the wider world.
For many critics of US expansionism this will merely confirm past behaviour, making it's intent more explicit....
I'm thinking it projects weakness and a total lack of insight. When I'm running the show, I'll name it the Department of Mercy and our adversaries will immediately capitulate.
Sunshine after the rain above The Devil’s Beeftub near Moffat in Scotland. I’ve travelled this road weekly over the last year visiting my mum since my dad passed away. I always stop for at least a few minutes as he would have done, just to enjoy the view.

Benjamin Doyle has faced some of the most concentrated hate condensed into a short period of time, egged on by pseudonymous hate groups and encouraged further by the deputy PM.

Das Video zeigt eine Szene aus einem Sporttalkshow-Programm auf dem ZDF, das um 07:26 Uhr auf dem Sender 'moma' ausgestrahlt wird. Zwei Personen sitzen auf einem modernen, L-förmigen Sofa im Studio, das mit großen Fenstern ausgestattet ist, die einen Blick auf eine Stadtlandschaft bieten. Der Hintergrund zeigt die Flaggen von Slowakei und Deutschland mit einem Ergebnis von 2:0, was auf ein Fußballspiel hinweist. Die Person auf der linken Seite trägt einen dunkelblauen Jackett, eine weiße T-Shirt und weiße Sneakers, während die Person auf der rechten Seite ein grünes Jackett, eine weiße T-Shirt und schwarze Hosen mit weißen Sneakers trägt.
Die Diskussion bezieht sich auf das Ergebnis eines Fußballspiels, bei dem das DFB-Team gegen die Slowakei verloren hat. Dies wird durch den Text auf dem Bildschirm deutlich: 'WM-Quali-Debakel: DFB-Team verliert gegen Slowakei'. Die Person auf der rechten Seite spricht und gestikuliert, während die Person auf der linken Seite aufmerksam zuhört und manchmal antwortet. Die Szene bleibt konstant, mit dem Fokus auf die Diskussion über das Fußballspiel.
Im Laufe des Videos wird die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Person auf der linken Seite gelenkt, die nun im Fokus steht und spricht. Der Hintergrund bleibt gleich, mit der Stadtlandschaft und den Flaggen im Hintergrund. Der Text auf dem Bildschirm bleibt unverändert, und die Uhrzeit '07:26' sowie der Sender 'moma' sind immer noch sichtbar. Die Person auf der linken Seite trägt weiterhin einen dunkelblauen Jackett, eine weiße T-Shirt und weiße Sneakers. Die Diskussion über das Fußballspiel bleibt das zentrale Thema des Videos.

"But as the AI revolution is starting at a time of maximum inequality, and where states are structured to reinforce that inequality, this of course will not happen. Unemployment will rise and people will be driven into desperate poverty, while all the productivity gain will be harvested by the billionaire class.
Humans are naturally cooperative creatures. The ability of people to dominate other life forms on the planet, to produce a built environment structured to their needs, to ensure food and water supply, to develop complex civilisations and produce all …
Buenas noches pues de noche aquí en El salvador, aquí les muestro y comparto algunas informaciones destacadas algo recientes de mi país. #elsalvador #ultimahora #info #viral #mastodon #fediverso #fediverse #mastonews #4Sep ⬇️ pronto nuevo episodio de #audio en mi podcast. Noctambulo escritor SV.
John Burn-Murdoch (FT) suggests that social media allows people with 'populist' views to see they are not alone & so be confident in expressing those views:
'the inexorable rise of the populists is not so much an upending of the natural democratic order as an unveiling of the electorate’s unfiltered inclinations. Free-speech absolutists would argue this is a positive development. From the perspective of economics, health & liberty more broadly defined, that is less clear'!
I don't agree with that analysis at all. (Though a lot of old school info gate-keepers insist once and again pushing for that theory of how evenly radicalizing social media is, forgetting how they have unevenly naturalized the right spectrum of radicalism giving the seal of approval that those hiding their views needed to feel safe showing them in public)
This process, which subtly shifts the Overton Window, is one of the reasons why Germany criminalised the “Auschwitzlüge” in 1994. It got (and still gets) a lot of stick for that from the free speech crowd, who argue that we shouldn’t do this because “factually incorrect statements” can be disproven in the “marketplace of ideas “. But Germany has so far been steadfast in arguing that the spreading of harmful and disprovable lies does not deserve legal protection. This is why.
but again this morning the BBC have been platforming Reform. Polinsky is pissing against the wind. This morning the BBC gave Tice the last 15 seconds uninterrupted to put his platform out to the public. It was like a party political broadcast. Yesterday they had a programme suggesting that the new counter-culture was populism and the extreme right.
It is absolutely relentless . The BBC is a sick puppy.
Il candidato di Trump al board della Fed, Stephen Miran, ieri in audizione ha detto che non si dimetterà da direttore del Council of Economic Advisers ma si metterà in aspettativa non retribuita, se l'incarico durerà effettivamente pochi mesi. Lo strisciante takeover prosegue.
