our industry suffered a great loss when the salesdevs started calling themselves developer evangelists, because it normalized the idea that our relationship with technology must be heavily and thoughtlessly propagandized with all the zeal of a cultist
but you can still kill the evangelist in your head

TCL’s 8-inch Nxtpaper Android tablet could lure you away from the colour Kindle
“Nxtpaper isn’t a reflective display technology like E Ink which relies on little drops of ink moving around, but it does feature several upgrades over standard LCD panels. The Tab 8’s glass screen is etched with a fine pattern giving it a matte finish that reduces glare and reflections, and TCL’s latest version, Nxtpaper 4.0, is also designed to minimize the softening effect often seen on matte displays.”
Which is all good, but it still does not beat the real E Ink screen in terms of massively long battery life, and reading in the bright sunlight. So I'd say this is good compared to a standard tablet, but not for what an eReader was specifically designed for.
Given #Hegseth is so bent on cosplaying as a colonizing a**hole, friendly reminder that all this #fascism has direct ties to the genocide & stolen land of indigenous people on Turtle Island.
White #media loves to “forget” that small little fact. The U.S. (& Canadian) prisons, laws, contracts, schools, & government are built to disappear indigenous people from our land because some Europeans wanted it.
Anyways, here’s a picture of a goat in South Dakota near Wounded Knee. #Roadtrippin4Change
YouTube Music: in arrivo deejay virtuali gestiti dall'IA
YouTube Labs introdurrà una funzione denominata "Beyond the Beat" creando una esperienza simile alle radio tradizionali con deejay virtuali che faranno dei brevi commenti di intrattenimento tra una canzone e l'altra.
Il paradosso di coloro che sostengono che Charlie fosse un seminatore di odio, e che lo fanno seminando odio. Poi quando gli chiedi di citare una sola frase di istigazione all'odio, non avendo cosa dire, non possono far altro che rispondere con ancora più odio.Davvero deprimente che un uomo brillante e innocente, padre di famiglia e marito amato, sia stato ucciso per colpa di questi odiatori seriali incapaci di sostenere un dialogo civile.…
"Apple protects its customers from privacy threats, but not from Apple's own predatory, privacy-invasive, rent-extracting conduct. Apple also gets to unilaterally decide which scams are permitted on its platform and which ones are not, and they alone get to decide when to allow secret, pervasive surveillance of Apple customers.
Apple's threats are lies, but the privacy risks of interop are very real. It's entirely possible to plug something into a secure tool that renders it insecure. It's nice when companies test third party add-ons and warn their customers about defective or risky aftermarket mods, and to the extent that Apple does this, it's doing good work. But Apple has an irreconcilable conflict of interest when it comes to vetoing its customers' decisions about which non-Apple products they use. Apple has some genuinely stonking margins on its payment processing, repair, and other lines of business, and Apple's CEO has openly boasted about using deliberately engineered incompatibilities to drive people to switch to Apple products: (...) How do we get Apple to protect its customers' privacy without picking their pockets or invading their privacy? By removing the company's veto over who can make software and hardware that works with Apple's competing offerings. The ultimate decision about which products are too dangerous for Europeans to use can't be vested with Apple – instead, it should be vested with expert agencies working for democratically accountable governments."
Strudel's audio engine is SuperDough (2023) mostly by @froos, which is based on SuperDirt (2015) mostly by @julian, which is based on 'dirt' a sampler made by me and originally called 'datadirt' (2005), but very heavily based on MSG (2001) by @adeward
Some of MSG's features got lost in translation, like line hum (configurable 50Hz or 60Hz) and hiss, and a weird synth controlled by a four-character string, here's the docs for that:
>make [name] from [synthcode] speed [rate]Creates a new (or, if it already exists, modifies an existing) synth using the four-digit synthcode. The first digit defines the waveform: s for sine, t for triangle, q for square and r for random. The next three digits range from 0.0 (a) to 1.0 (z) and define, respectively, the pulse width, pulse amplitude, and waveform decay. Thus, using only four letters, any number of FM-like synthesis sounds can be generated. Here are a few examples: 'qaaa' - solid square 'qaaz' - sharp pulse (square with maximum decay) 'qmmz' - sharp pulse with 50% resonant pulse 'tilt' - triangular with sharpish edge synth 'slub' - smoothish sinusoidal waveform
Un muro di droni, dopo il muro di Berlino. Il comun denominatore è la guerra fredda, ieri come oggi, che racconta di una contrapposizione che resta aspra, coinvolgendo ancora una volta i Paesi della cintura orientale della Nato e dell’Ue.

Doing an audit of the things running is good for the mind.
I've stood up things and played with them on and off over months to years but never really "used" them if you know what I mean.
All these extra things are cognitive load in maintenance and toil, even if automated. Turning and deleting unused services is good for the soul in a way. Ha.
oh, this is a good one! I myself have also tried to evaluate more often if I really need all those self hosted services and like to think about this regurlary.
If I was a tutoring company and I wanted to convince you that I could teach your kids maths, I would probably not have an advert that said “3=2” on it!

No, it's definitely not utopian, but also talks about morality a lot, and it's just damn good sci-fi, with awesome characters, some queerness and even some polyam representation sprinkled on top.

La imagen muestra un personaje de dibujos animados con un estilo caricaturesco. Tiene un cabello negro y desordenado que se eleva en todas direcciones, lo que le da un aspecto despeinado. Lleva un vestido rosa con mangas largas y un cuello, y parece estar caminando con una expresión de preocupación o tristeza en su rostro. El personaje tiene una mirada pensativa, y hay burbujas de pensamiento que sugieren que está reflexionando. El fondo es blanco, lo que hace que el personaje sea el centro de atención. La imagen tiene un borde blanco que la delimita, lo que sugiere que podría ser un sticker o una ilustración independiente.

"At a time when the world is plunged into a deep darkness not seen in many decades – and some would say is being held captive and being destroyed by a handful of evil, cynical men – it's flabbergasting that the Catholic Church is so self-absorbed to think it has the luxury to spend even 10 minutes fighting over an internal affair such as its liturgy."
I say they should go for it and let’s see how fast Catholic membership declines when people can’t understand mass when they go to it. I’m all for any move that causes religion to shoot itself in the foot.
