Over the weekend, a teacher friend of mine mentioned how his principal is pushing he and his fellow educators to use AI for all their curriculum development. Education, much like art, is a uniquely human endeavor and any attempt to substitute it with an LLM should be firmly rejected.
La ditta, impegnata nella ristrutturazione del celebre angolo verde, ha fatto un errore. Per il presidente USA madornale. «Ho visto lo squarcio di 22 metri e ho urlato chi è stato?»
L'assenza (inusuale) del presidente americano dalla scena pubblica solleva i primi interrogativi. E pochi giorni fa, Vance diceva: «Se gli dovesse succedere qualcosa, io sono pronto»

On a video call, 20-year-old Daniel Jackson, the self-proclaimed president of the Free Republic of Verdis, looks the part: He is sitting at a desk with the country’s flag to his right and a banner sporting the name of his country behind him
The image is split into two distinct scenes. On the left, a man with a faint smile stands outdoors, wearing a dark jacket and pants. Behind him, a large Argentinian flag, with its light blue and white horizontal stripes, unfurls in the air. The background consists of lush green undergrowth and numerous trees, some with fresh leaves.
On the right, a person's light-skinned hand holds two passports. One passport is dark blue, and the other is dark red or burgundy; both display a crest or coat of arms on their covers. The background for this scene is a field of dry, light brown grass or reeds, with sparse, mostly leafless trees in the distance.
A young man with fair skin and short, light brown hair is shown from the chest up, looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression. He wears a light blue collared shirt. Behind him is a light-colored backdrop, likely a step-and-repeat banner, featuring a repeating pattern of text and a dark, stylized winged logo. The text reads "Government of Verdisa" in English, "Vlada Verdisa" in a Latin script, and "Влада Вердиса" in Cyrillic script. A vertical strip of light blue is visible on the far left of the background.
A young man stands outdoors, holding a flag. He has light skin and short, light-colored hair, smiling faintly, and is wearing a dark jacket. He holds a flag with three horizontal stripes: light blue on top, white in the middle, and light blue on the bottom. On the white middle stripe, a complex blue emblem or crest is visible towards the left side. Behind him is a large brown wooden double door. To his right, a black metal railing and a rectangular bronze plaque are visible on a white wall.
A satellite map displays a winding stretch of the River Danube flowing from top to bottom. To the left (west) of the river is Croatia, and to the right (east) is Serbia. A distinct yellow, irregular shape is highlighted on the western bank of the Danube, identified by the label "LIBERLAND" with an arrow pointing to it. The surrounding landscape shows a mix of green forested areas and lighter cultivated fields. In the top right corner, a small inset map provides regional context, showing the border between Croatia and Serbia and marking the location of the main map.

Got some gaming in on my Pixel 10 Pro XL. The Tensor G5's performance isn't making the Snapdragon 8 Elite jealous, but it's serviceable, unlike the Pixel 9. I can actually play Geshin Impact and Wuthering Waves on moderate settings and get a decent experience. There's no chance these Geekbench GPU scores are accurate. #Googlepixel
safe to say I had a smooth experience once I got used to the OS 😀 But then again I respect that some people aren't as tech-savvy as I am (which is, mid). So I will boost this!

The tariff fight is plain insane. Tariffs are the purview of Congress. They aren't the president's YOLO. It's going to be amazing to see how SCOTUS throws out the plain language of the Constitution to take the tariff power away from Congress and grant it to Trump. They're very smart - I'm sure they can torture the hell out of both logic and history to come up with some nonsense. But their names will go down in history as shameful, and plain shit. Just stupidity and motivated reasoning.
Hey folks, please take a minute to sign the “No Contract, No Coffee! Pledge” to show Solidarity With Starbucks Workers United. Support Starbucks baristas in their fight for a union and a fair contract, and pledge not to cross the picket line by not patronizing any Starbucks store when baristas are on strike. Even you don’t patronize Starbucks for whatever reason, add your name to the pledge to show our siblings at SBWU that you have their backs.

Actualmente (Mastodon v4.4.3), la altura de la vista de anuncios es impredecible; cambia según el contenido de cada página de anuncios, haciendo que quien usa la aplicación tenga que perseguir el selector de páginas para cambiar entre anuncio y anuncio (ver GIF animado adjunto).
La altura de esta vista debería ser fija, de manera que la persona pueda mantener el cursor en el mismo lugar dentro de la pantalla para ir cambiando de página fácilmente.
Este cambio beneficiaría a personas con y sin discapacidad (me parece a mí).

Margaret Thatcher, PM of the UK through the 1980s, was infamous for saying that there is no such thing as society, just individuals.
Which is a bit like saying there's no such thing as a city, only individual buildings. Or, there's no such thing as the fediverse, only individual accounts.
But there's a more subtle way that neoliberals express Thatcher's disbelief in society. By arguing against the ideal of the fediverse as a common carrier, open to everyone.
Those who argue for opt-in federation between services (eg the opt-in forced on BridgyFed), rather than interop being the default. Those who argue for mass blocking of this or that service, not because of the behaviour of the people using them, but because we don't like the company that owns them. Those who believe in the fediverse as an ocean separating islands of like-minded people, instead of a way to explore and encounter people thinking thoughts we never knew were possible.
These people too are arguing against the idea of a society larger than themselves, and their in-group.
That's not to say that all Muting/ Blocking is wrong or anything silly like that. Just that they should be a last resort, considered case-by-case (collectively as well as individually), not the default. Because a connection with this larger social space, and the opportunities for learning and collaboration it brings, is the whole point of online social network tools.

Tomorrow is Ollie's birthday. I think he'll be six. OMG. Here's a photo from 2022 with his then-favorite toy before he destroyed it.
I am sure there are other dogs who love humans as much as he does, but he ranks very high. If I walked up to a total stranger and started kissing them all over the face, I'd be in BIG trouble. Ollie does it and people's self-esteem goes up 500% in seconds. He's a walking ball of love. ❤️
The deed is done. Letzter Task bei Datenbankumzug und -rekonstruktion in @darktable erledigt. Nach vielen Jahren ist #Lightroom bei mir nun Geschichte. Ich muss auf einigen Luxus verzichten, ein paar Kompromisse eingehen und musste zwei wesentliche Funktionen nachkaufen, aber das Kerngeschäft (#RAW-Entwicklung) beherrscht #darktable ganz hervorragend. Für den Übergang nahm ich mir einige Monate Zeit, noch ist der Workflow etwas zäher, aber für ein Hobby kann ich damit leben.
Kannst du deine ganzen bisherigen Fotos aus Lightroom nach @darktable importieren? Und bleiben dabei dann auch alle angewendeten Aktivitäten / Filter erhalten?
@geco_de Ja, alle Bilder werden übertragen (außer bei proprietär angereicherten DNGs) und in die DT-Library aufgenommen, inkl. Metadaten aus den Bildern oder den XMP-Sidecars, die Lightroom hoffentlich angelegt hat. Aber Bildeinstellungen und Filter werden NICHT übernommen! Ausentwickelte RAWs musst Du als hochaufgelöste JPEGs / TIFF exportieren und mitübertragen, also am besten parallel zum LR-Original wieder in den gleichen Ordner re-importieren. Sonstiges: bildung.social/@TeachrDigital/…
@Erutario@norden.social Moin, das würde ich neulich schon mal gefragt. Habe noch nichts dazu geschrieben und auch keine Infrastruktur dafür (kein Blog), aber es juckt mich tatsächlich in den Fingern (früher nebenher extrem viel geschrieben, auch Büch…
@geco_de Lohnt sich! Wobei solche Urteile gerade in dem Bereich höchst subjektiv sind. Tipp: Statt direkt die vorhandenen Bilder in die DT-Lib zu übernehmen (das braucht sehr viele Überlegungen und Vorbereitungen in LR), würde ich eher mal mit Bildbearbeitung und RAW-Workflow anfangen. Viel Einlesen, viele Videos fürs Konzept. Erst wenn Du beschlossen hast, dass Du damit leben kannst (auch mit Kompromissen und Defiziten), würde ich die Lib übertragen.
Saw this at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens today. Even amongst all the orchids it commanded attention. A sign around the corner revealed it to be a "bat flower".
Missed my alarm this morning and got to the soccer game 5 mins after it started instead of 40 mins before... But we won the first game 2-0 and my son initiated the second goal from a clearance deep in our backfield. so we are doing OK. Hanging out in a parking lot with the AC on until 2:15 or so. Its hot but not as hot as last week.
I’m kind of worried about the next few days because I think we are headed towards some gigantic West Coast heat dome most of it’s in the Oregon Washington area but yeah..
