The video features a dark-colored horse standing in a stable, positioned behind a metal fence. The horse's head is slightly raised, and it appears to be looking towards the camera. The stable has a metal roof and is filled with hay on the ground. Throughout the video, text overlays appear on the screen, reading: "Should I skip classes to read yuri?" and "The yuriful horse of utmost wisdom and intelligence." These texts suggest a humorous context, implying that the horse is pondering a complex decision. A hand is seen petting the horse's nose, adding a gentle and affectionate touch to the scene. The horse remains mostly still, occasionally moving its head slightly, and the stable's interior remains consistent throughout the video.

In the last week I found around 11 articles in Irish media with non-trivial mentions of #trans topics.

- 1 on healthcare
- 1 from a parent
- 1 on politics
- 3 on UK Supreme Court ruling and/or sport
- 1 on universities
- 1 on ex-TV writer
- 3 on US politics

Mein VNB ist im Eigentum der Kommune und war in den 35 Jahren seines Bestehens nicht in der Lage, den Netzbetrieb in geordnete Bahnen zu führen. Jetzt läuft es absehbar wegen Unfähigkeit auf eine tatsächliche Privatisierung hinaus.

Monopole? Wir haben 5 ÜNB und über 800 VNB in D.

@abulling

Die Neuordnung der Netzentgelte ist lange im Gespräch und ist m.E. aus Aufmerksamkeitsgründen im Spiegelartikel einseitig PV-lastig dargestellt.

Ohne flächendeckende Viertelstundenleistungen durch iMSys kann ich mir nur eine Verschiebung der Netzkosten zu höheren Anschlussfixkosten vorstellen. Das hat vordergründig nichts mit PV zu tun, reduziert aber die Ersparnis durch PV-Eigenverbrauch.

BREAKING: Polish Prime Minister Tusk announced full certainty that the massive fire at Marywilska 44, a major wholesale center in Warsaw, was arson ordered by Russian intelligence. The attack was coordinated by someone in Russia; some suspects are in custody, others identified. A clear case of hybrid warfare.

Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and Defence Affairs, Simon Harris, yesterday called on the European Union to review the EU partnership agreement with Israel over human rights violations in Gaza.

Posting on X, Harris pointed to the agreement’s human rights clause, which requires EU-Israel relations to be grounded in respect for international law.

"Today, when commentators draw parallels between the rhetoric, tactics and ideology of the populist right in Western democracies, and the language and tactics used in 1930s Germany, they are often vilified. ‘This is no more than hyperbole’; ‘there is no comparison between the appalling outcomes seen in Europe in the 30s and 40s and the words and actions of far right politicians today’; ‘it could never happen in a modern democracy’.

This conveniently forgets that similar complacency underpinned the policy of appeasement in the 1930s."

PS: Betteridge's law of headlines does not apply.

”When those who vilify asylum seekers, immigrants, and other races, roll out that xenophobic trope that ‘this isn’t what my parents/grandparents fought and died for in the War’”

”The reality of WWII is that this is exactly what our parents and grandparents were fighting for, the war against fascism was entirely about the preservation of real liberalism with all its freedoms – freedom of speech; individual and human rights; free and open markets; the rule of law”

Appell von Papst Leo XIV.: "Nein sagen zum Krieg der Wörter und Bilder"

Liebe Tagesschau, Diesen Appell bitte ernst nehmen! Dazu gehört dann eben auch, Vertreter*innen einer gesichert rechtsextremen Partei NICHT ständig das Mikro unter die Nase zu halten und sie ihre Hassparolen und Lügen ungefiltert in die Welt posaunen zu lassen.

We have a CI job to spot unwanted utf8 letters in #curl PRs as we have noticed that GitHub will gladly show the for example (identical) Cyrillic version of a letter next to the Latin version in a diff and it is yes, entirely impossible for a human to spot the diff. I mean the diff is shown, but the significance of it is not.

Changing just a single letter like that in a URL hostname opens up for a world of grief.




As far as its funders are concerned, the purpose of AI is literally and explicitly to oppress labour. If you find LLMs useful for something and ignore that bit, you’re whitewashing and you know it.

Heating engineer on a car free island? No problem, with a cargobike

On the car-free island of Baltrum, craftsmen face unique challenges that require meticulous preparation. With numerous holiday homes, unconventional house numbering, and the absence of cars, every repair job becomes a logistical puzzle. However, the use of cargo bikes plays a pivotal role in making their work feasible. Hanko Darmstädter, a skilled heating engineer, exemplifies the adaptability required…

As some of you know my current fixed term contract as a research software engineer at the University of #Glasgow is coming to an end. So, I am looking for a new job either in or out of academia where I would get to do more programming than admin.

I have written open source geospatial software in academia and industry for the last 30 years. I'm good at debugging, teaching, mentoring but not meetings.
