THIS IS A TEST!

This is a test of the polling system. Please vote, especially if you are outside of beige.party. I'm trying to prove a theory that since v4.3.4 polls with more than 4 options only record votes from the local instance. This poll is the control.

What's your favorite temper?

Edit: Adding this here for visibility. This was not a bug in the Mastodon code, but rather the result of me increasing the max poll options on the web server but not on the server running the sidekiq processes.

More details here: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i…

  • Woe (9%, 92 votes)
  • Frolic (49%, 480 votes)
  • Dread (21%, 210 votes)
  • Malice (19%, 183 votes)
965 voters. Poll end: 5 mesi fa

La derecha activa la fase final de la 'cacería' contra Pedro Sánchez: "Todo vale para acabar con este tipo"


En un artículo para enmarcar, en octubre de 2022, el veterano y queridísimo corresponsal de ElPlural.com en Andalucia, Antonio Avendaño, recordaba que "aunque pueda parecer lo contrario, Pedro Sánchez no es más odiado por las derechas de lo que lo fueron en su día Felipe González y José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero". El 'todo vale para acabar con este tipo', fue la expresión que el periodismo peliculero y la justicia justiciera, en connivencia con el dinero saqueado en Banesto, urdieron para acabar con Felipe González. Con Zapatero, a la derecha le bastó para tumbar al mejor presidente de la democracia en España con tildarle de proetarra (pese a que acabó para siempre con el terrorismo de ETA en España) y que parte de la izquierda mediática le presentase (entre ellos, rostros muy significativos de la supuesta progresía que se vendieron a la primera de cambio y sin escrúpulos a los poderes fácticos del capital), como una especie de líder "indocumentado" ante la crisis financiera que asoló a todo el mundo (obviando, por supuesto, los avances que ZP consiguió para nuestro país en políticas sociales). Con Pedro Sánchez, la "cacería" se ha recrudecido y por si no bastase la persecución a su mujer, familiares y amigos que le ha sometido la derecha política, judicial y mediática en los últimos años, 'El Mundo' ha decidido desde este domingo, como gesto inequívocamente patriótico, publicar conversaciones privadas que el presidente del Gobierno de España supuestamente mantuvo con el exsecretario de Organización del PSOE, José Luis Ábalos. Se ha activado el "todo vale para acabar con este tipo" que el PP y Vox, desesperados ante un presidente del Gobierno que ha sido capaz de superar una crisis económica, el coronavirus, una amnistía, la dana, un volcán o un apagón, no son capaces de desalojarlo democráticamente del poder. Es probable que las conversaciones que estos días desvela el diario 'El Mundo' no sean más que una filtración (lease extorsión) de José Luis Ábalos (o su entorno más cercano -es decir Koldo-), al periódico de cabecera de la derecha española. En cualquier caso, la peor hipótesis es que la UCO, es decir, la Guardia Civil, haya difundido los mensajes privados que Pedro Sánchez envió a una persona que sin duda ha defraudado a sus más allegados y que por tanto esté involucrada en esta operación del 'todo vale'. Por mucho que les duela a muchos socialistas, es probable que Ábalos se haya vendido a la derecha, que haya filtrado a 'El Mundo' sus conversaciones privadas con Pedro Sánchez y que su modo de vivir, al más puro estilo Torrente, le haya convertido, como diría Iñigo Errejón, en un tipo que disfrutaba de una vida neoliberal (sic) mientras era "el portavoz de una formación que defiende un mundo nuevo, más justo y humano". Pero de lo que no cabe ninguna duda es que esta oportunidad política, de tumbar a un Gobierno progresista (en la que el PP y la extrema derecha asuman el Gobierno del país) no la van...

in reply to 𝗖 𝗔 𝗧

comrade this is true, capitalist markets exist in China. But the extent of the reforms seem exaggerated. The second volume and fourth volume of xi jinpings 'the governance of china' explain new market normality and the push for more quality, less quantity labor.

When the state leases land to capitalists, when it owns majority share in production for nearly every industry, this is a far cry from capitalism.

Perhaps you're conflating the increased productivity under socialism with the GDP gains of a capitalist nation? Even still GDP is a different definition in socialist economies.

The stark difference can be seen during times of weal and woe as comrade xi jinping states it. Covid and the 2008 collapse were slight impacts to china, whereas it was ruination for most western capitalist nations. This is due to competent central planning and good socialist praxis, features absolutely truant from capitalism.

Please do not fall into the pit of leftist communism. Chinas central party does not retreat from marxism, Leninism, and Maoist thought.

in reply to crispy branzino ☭ (skin)

@Nimbius666
My argument is that China is more than able to transition into socialism without Chinese (capitalist) characteristics and that they should. I could understand the justification for capitalist reforms in the 80s when China was suffering economically, but that clearly isn't the case anymore.

Some of the organizing of REI members to vote with the union was done right here on Mastodon (I'm sure lots of other places too but I heard about it right here from @Eliot_L and then voted according).

The #REI #union has another action they would like us to take! They would like us to write a letter to REI's new CEO and let her know what we think about their union busting tactics. Please join me!

Did artificial intelligence just jump the shark? Maybe so, and it came from the legal world of all places, with this report of an AI-generated victim impact statement. In an apparent first, the family of an Arizona man killed in a road rage incident in 2021 used AI to bring the victim back to life to testify during the sentencing phase of his killer’s trial. The video was created by the sister and brother-in-law of the 37-year-old victim using old photos and videos, and was quite well done, despite the normal uncanny valley stuff around lip-syncing that seems to be the fatal flaw for every deep-fake video we’ve seen so far. The victim’s beard is also strangely immobile, which we found off-putting.

In the video, the victim expresses forgiveness toward his killer and addresses his family members directly, talking about things like what he would have looked like if he’d gotten the chance to grow old. That seemed incredibly inflammatory to us, but according to Arizona law, victims and their families get to say pretty much whatever they want in their impact statements. While this appears to be legal, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it appealed, since the judge tacked an extra year onto the killer’s sentence over what the prosecution sought based on the power of the AI statement. If this tactic withstands the legal tests it’ll no doubt face, we could see an entire industry built around this concept.

Last week, we warned about the impending return of Kosmos 482, a Soviet probe that was supposed to go to Venus when it was launched in 1972. It never quite chooched, though, and ended up circling the Earth for the last 53 years. The satellite made its final orbit on Saturday morning, ending up in the drink in the Indian Ocean, far from land. Alas, the faint hope that it would have a soft landing thanks to the probe’s parachute having apparently been deployed at some point in the last five decades didn’t come to pass. That’s a bit of a disappointment to space fans, who’d love to get a peek inside this priceless bit of space memorabilia. Roscosmos says they monitored the descent, so presumably they know more or less where the debris rests. Whether it’s worth an expedition to retrieve it remains to be seen.

Are we really at the point where we have to worry about counterfeit thermal paste? Apparently, yes, judging by the effort Arctic Cooling is putting into authenticity verification of its MX brand pastes. To make sure you’re getting the real deal, boxes will come with seals that rival those found on over-the-counter medications and scratch-off QR codes that can be scanned and cross-referenced to an online authentication site. We suppose it makes sense; chip counterfeiting is a very real thing, after all, and it’s probably as easy to put a random glob of goo into a syringe as it is to laser new markings onto a chip package. And Arctic compound commands a pretty penny, so the incentive is obvious. But still, something about this just bothers us.

Another very cool astrophotography shot this week, this time a breathtaking collection of galaxies. Taken from the Near Infrared camera on the James Webb Space Telescope with help from the Hubble Space Telescope and the XMM-Newton X-ray space observatory, the image shows thousands of galaxies of all shapes and sizes, along with the background X-ray glow emitted by all the clouds of superheated dust and gas between them. The stars with the characteristic six-pointed diffraction spikes are all located within our galaxy, but everything else is a galaxy. The variety is fascinating, and the scale of the image is mind-boggling. It’s galactic eye candy!

And finally, if you’ve ever wondered about what happens when a nuclear reactor melts down, you’re in luck with this interesting animagraphic on the process. It’s not a detailed 3D render of any particular nuclear power plant and doesn’t have a specific meltdown event in mind, although it does mention both Chernobyl and Fukushima. Rather, it’s a general look at pressurized water reactors and what can go wrong when the cooling water stops flowing. It also touches on potentially safer designs with passive safety systems that rely on natural convection to keep cooling water circulating in the event of disaster, along with gravity-fed deluge systems to cool the containment vessel if things get out of hand. It’s a good overview of how reactors work and where they can go wrong. Enjoy.

in reply to Jyoti Mishra

The image features a character from an animated series, sitting in a yellow vehicle with a blue sky and clouds in the background. The character is bald, wearing a dark green suit with a white shirt and a dark blue tie. He has a focused expression, with one hand raised to his forehead, suggesting he is using some form of mental power, as indicated by the concentric circles emanating from his head. The character's right hand is extended forward, palm up, as if he is commanding or communicating with someone. At the bottom of the image, there is text that reads, "Wolverine, bring me a cheese pizza." The watermark "abcfamily" is visible in the bottom right corner.

"En clôturant les célébrations dédiées au 80e anniversaire de la Victoire dans la Grande Guerre patriotique, Vladimir Poutine a fait une déclaration aux représentants des médias, dans laquelle il a dressé le bilan des travaux des 7 au 10 mai. V. Poutine :


"When citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the government because they could credibly face government retribution, they no longer live in a full democracy.

By that measure, America has crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism."

So it's been almost a year now where Adobe has been training AIs on customer content as an opt out setting. Honestly for as much of a tantrum as people threw over the potential that Photoshop would be doing this, I'm baffled that I haven't heard anyone say they think it's bad that Figma does...

in reply to mcc

@mcc So I never really got the point of Figma honestly. What I’ve seen just looks like the old RAD tools from the 90’s minus the ability to end up with a functional app.

One explanation I was given was to isolate the designers from the developers, but is that really useful?

On the other hand, I’ve seen ads for AI tools that make your Figma design into a real app which… again… UGH WHY‽ we already had that!

@mcc
in reply to slembcke

We were using it as a 2D vector editor that made it easy to align things to a grid, had data synchronization/net collaboration built in, and was SVG-aware enough we could embed game-specific data into the SVG.

Then the data synchronization turned into a curse because like, all the data is on their server, all the data is theirs.

in reply to mcc

and like yeah, we had RAD tools in the 2010s, but they weren't genericized, they were all tied into specific tools and could target cocoa touch but not, like, html. Or they could target html but not cocoa
in reply to mcc

@mcc Hmm. I guess the platform problem is fair. Electron kinda sorta fills that role now for better or worse. I'm not really in that industry, so maybe there are RAD-esque tools that people use for making web-apps. Seems like everyone is mostly obsessed with the framework of the month though.
@mcc
in reply to mcc

@mcc Unsolicited advice, ignore if you already know and/or don't care: Penpot is basically a figma clone (probably not quite as good but in my tests it's been ok). It's more open and can be self hosted.
