For obvious reasons, this fellow is known as a thick-legged hoverfly (Syritta pipiens; Gemeine Keulenschwebfliege or Kleine Mistbiene in 🇩🇪).

Apparently one of the most common members of the Syrphidae family, originally from Europe but now found across Eurasia & North America).

And yet it's the first time I've knowingly seen & photographed one 🤷‍♂️

20 years ago today, Death Cab for Cutie released ‘Plans’. Their major-label debut reached the Billboard Top 5, went Platinum, and gave us classics like “Soul Meets Body,” “Crooked Teeth,” and “I Will Follow You into the Dark.”


Europe is the world's fastest warming continent.

The framing that global heating was a problem for the global south for equatorial regions was the conceit of impunity of the developed world, the global financial and industrial core

Full accord with your points re. climate catastrophe & Imperialist impunity.
That said, my understanding is that Europe is likely to suffer uninhabitable cooling when the AMOC breaks down.
Yes, I did not say 'if.' (Tipping points & feedback loops, ya know...)

If we have learned anything about climatological models is, they are too conservative to accurately track the actual response.

They can only report on data they have observed and analyzed but the chief characteristic of a complex system like the planet's climate is a transition state transition chaotic. It is extremely difficult to predict.

The easy analogy is a speaker feedback from a microphone. That explosive squawk is the nature of the feedback

Stella continues to heal.

From the injuries, it seems she landed on her left side - both left legs give her trouble, and that’s the side with the broken tooth.

She felt better enough this morning that she climbed the single stair up onto the entryway floor.

If the choice is between Hitlerian AI and accurate AI, Trump is between a rock and a hard place. An AI like Grok that says—“I am MechaHitler!”—might expose his ideology a little too bracingly.

But an accurate AI will contradict his lies. trib.al/W3rCs0O

As a #blind #hacker I often get the question of how to break into the #cybersecurity field when #accessibility is a concern. What courses, platforms and tools would work best?
One consequence of this is the IC_Null channel on #Twitch where I look into various aspects of this in live streams through the lens of a #screenReader user.
What I haven't done yet, is an outright head-to-head between the various answers you usually get to this question: #hackTheBox, #tryHackMe, #picoCTF, #parrotCTFS, #letsDefend , etc.
In tonight's stream that is a question we'll start responding to. This is useful for people who develop for the #web, are active in the #ctf organizing space or just work in #tech in general. In two hours, I shall be dissecting a few of these platforms from an accessibility perspective and point out the failings, as well as things that are actually really good!
Would love to have you join, over at twitch.tv/ic_null and/or youtube.com/@viewpointUnseen #selfPromo #stream

Why China has a tech manufacturing advantage over the U.S.


While Americans lament their crumbling infrastructure, China is rapidly expanding high-speed rail, subway systems, and airports across the country. Chinese tech products, from autonomous vehicles to drones to addiction-inducing algorithms, have won over global consumers and put companies such as BYD, DJI, and TikTok in pole position.

China’s prowess in engineering and manufacturing is now at the center of the U.S.–China rivalry in artificial intelligence. Despite Washington’s efforts to block China from advancing in AI, the country has continued to make progress in developing chips and training state-of-the-art large language models.

Dan Wang moved to Canada at age seven from Yunnan in southwestern China. A former tech analyst at Gavekal Dragonomics, his stints in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai allowed him to closely observe China’s trajectory. In his new book, Breakneck: China’s Quest to Engineer the Future, Wang compares the country’s “engineering” state, which favors large-scale manufacturing, with America’s “lawyerly” society, which he believes hinders new construction and development.

So I can see a users posts with replies (e.g. cosocial.ca/@maj/with_replies ) is there an option for seeing *just* posts from the user _without_ boosts? I.e. just the things they have written?

I imagine a workaround where you tag your own things and then have a pinned post linking to that (like I do with cosocial.ca/@maj/tagged/work)

Other countries protect workers from job loss.

In the U.S. – not so much. Add #AI into the mix and America’s “exceptionalism” could mean deeper job insecurity.

About a year ago, I had some notions about creating some folklore-themed PeerTube videos, but the longer I pondered this, the more I hesitated. The effort would be massive, with the biggest being doing the captions manually because automated captions would not work for my thick German accent. And posting videos without captions would go against the Accessibility standards of the Fediverse.

Maybe I will make an attempt at a future date, but for now, I am shelving them. I should concentrate on finally getting my third book out, anyway.

Ρεε, τώρα με το ήμαρτον τι θυμήθηκα..

Έει στριμώξει το πλήθος σε μια αλάνα τη Μαρία τη Μαγδαληνή, έτοιμοι να την λιθοβολίσουν.
Μπαίνει ο Χριστός μπροστά, υψώνει τα χέρια και τους λέει: Ο αναμάρτητος πρώτος τον λίθον βαλέτω.

Παγώνει λιγάκι το πλήθος, αφήνουν τις πέτρες να πέσουν από τα χέρια και είναι έτοιμοι να φύγουν.

Ξαφνικά, μια γριούλα με μαντήλα κλπ, σκύβει, πάιρνει ένα κοτρώνι και το αμολάει.

Γυρνάει ο Τζίζας και της λέει: Καλά ρε μάνα, δε σου έχω πει να μην κάνεις μαλακίες;

Tofik Dibi is zojuist officieel door de leden gekozen als lijsttrekker van #BIJ1.

In zijn toespraak noemde hij het kapitalistisch-kolonialisme een systeem van de dood, en het verzet tegen dat systeem een levenskracht.

Als partij zal BIJ1 een speer moeten scherpen door samen te werken, en die speer moeten richten op het hart van het systeem dat onderdrukt, verwoest, uitsluit en moordt.

Does anyone know if you have to listen to a song all the way through for the artist to get credit on streaming services (specifically Tidal)?

I really have got everything I'm going to get out of this very long song, and there are still three minutes to go, but I don't want to be that guy...

@sindarina I'm too soft 😂 I let it run to the end, didn't want to deny them that fraction of a penny 😕

Unless a tune is just plain annoying, I always let it tick over to the next track before stopping.

I've been listening to some Meren Norris today, she has quite a voice! But... I used to be a punk, damnit.
