Today's word of the day in #Mikmaq

Jipugtug (ji·buk·tuk)

Jipugtug is the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia.



"On October 15, 2025, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”) announced a £14 million fine against Capita for failing to ensure the security of personal data relating to a significant personal data breach. The fine was split between Capita plc (£8 million) and Capita Pension Solutions Limited (£6 million) (together, “Capita”). " >natlawreview.com/article/uk-ic…


Good article on #aphantasia.

Like many described in the story, I have never been able to 'picture' anything in my brain. Anything. I always thought when people told me they were imagining a scene or seeing something, that they were being allegorical.

I therefore have no experience of what it's like to think any differently. This is the brain that I've always had. There are no pictures in it.

in reply to Adrianna Tan

The article describes the experience of a person with hyperphantasia: "Then the cat died, and after his death she saw him everywhere—on the sofa, on the floor, on her bed, wherever he had been in life. She saw him so clearly that it was as though he were actually there in front of her. Her grief was made so much worse by this relentless haunting that she began to feel as if she would not be able to cope."

Holy shit. If I had that I would not be able to do anything. I would still be crying about Cookie. Instead, I only think of her when I see a thing that reminds me of her. A photo, an item, something in real life.

in reply to Adrianna Tan

I wonder how aphantasia impacts the way that I write.

For me, writing is the primary and most precise way in which I can express myself.

When I write, I don't imagine any visuals. I don't have a picture of what I am trying to write. Instead, I have.. chunks of text, that I.. perceive, feel, hear? It blows my mind (with no images, haha) that everyone's brain is so, so different.

Back when I lived with roommates one of them would always laugh at how visually oriented I am, vs. how focused on sound the other person, who was a musician, was 😄

We'd be describing the same thing, but from entirely different angles.

in reply to Adrianna Tan

If I want to, I can imagine something so vividly and realistically that it might as well be real if I manage to not get distracted by my physical life. Not exactly touch and not exactly smell, but so close that I might as well be touching or smelling it, and full vision sort of overlaid on top of the black space above my eyes. 😄

It's weird and cool and is very convenient every time I get stuck with nothing to do or nothing to take my attention, or need to figure out a complex material problem like sewing and how fabric will behave, or what a thing looks like... But also deeply inconvenient if I'm imagining something horrible, or reading about something horrible that happened to someone else. Books are a TRIP when reading!

in reply to Sindarina, Edge Case Detective

@sindarina Honestly it's a fucking miracle I ever get anything done, with how loud and busy my brain is always being, constantly something going on. 😆

Sleeping like:

😴: rest now
🧠 : multi-part dream with complex world-building, where you're a video game character inside a simulation that accidentally created life because techno-magic, but everyone thinks you're not real, but you are, and you need to somehow get out of the computer to get more updates and just because, and your best friend is a hyper-intelligent squid with access to a terminal, and this is tragic because its very old now
😐: thanks

in reply to Sini Tuulia

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

“The detection order will not be part of the EU presidency’s new compromise proposal. It will remain voluntary for tech giants to search for child sexual abuse material.”

Danish Minister of Justice, Peter Hummelgaard, confirms today that Denmark is backing down and dropping mandatory scanning.

Thank you all for raising your voices!

in reply to Helma

@helma @dasmatus For starters this is surely against the GDPR:

"It will remain voluntary for tech giants to search for child sexual abuse material.”

It should be mandatory in the EU/EEA that tech giants *are banned* from searching through your files stored on any devices you own AND banned from searching through any data synced from your device to their cloud UNLESS you agree to opt-in to such searches.

Phew, glad that they backed down. Sure, it may pop up again and big corpos can scan stuff. But I'm really glad that mandatory scanning won't be enforced.

I say that, for now, let's celebrate!

Hätte gerne Buchempfehlungen, gern ohne Mord und Totschlag und ohne Psychothriller. Fantasy ist auch nicht mein Genre. Ich liebe gute Geschichten gut erzählt.
in reply to KaFinkbeiner

Es muss ja wirklich nicht immer Genreliteratur (Horror, Krimi, Science Fiction etc) sein.

Die meisten meiner Lieblingsbücher sind aber schon etwas älter:

Gabriel García Márquez:

- 100 Jahre Einsamkeit
- Liebe in den Zeiten der Cholera

Herbert Rosendorfer:

- Das Messingherz
- Die goldenen Heiligen

Heinrich Mann:

- Der Untertan

Osvaldo Soriano

- Traurig, einsam und endgültig

Wenn du da keine Inspiration findest, frag noch mal. Ich kenne noch mehr.

"The enemy is changing tactics, using urban cover and avoiding direct clashes. Ukraine is countering with elite assault units, drones, and tight coordination. Progress continues in the Dobropillia direction." —Syrskyi
Of course the soldiers are upset, but blaming Syrskyi isn't the way. When the enemy is numerically superior, you may have to retreat. Otherwise you risk the lives of your soldiers holding untenable positions. Syrskyi's top priority is preserving soldiers' lives.


1. On October 23, Trump pardoned CZ, the founder of Bianance. CZ had pled guilty to willfully violating anti-money laundering laws. His conduct, according ot the DOJ "allowed money to flow to terrorists, cybercriminals, and child abusers.”

A week later, Trump is getting his payback.

Question, if you were including something like this 👇in a report or paper, would you label it as e.g. "Table 1" or "Figure 1"?

Or something else?

(assuming whatever software you're using lets you pick either)

#DataViz #RStats

in reply to Nicola Rennie

Intuitively the left one a table, the right one possibly a figure. But then CMS suggests a figure. However, if I use block elements for the bars, like
5 █████
9 █████████
or something like that, would it then qualify as a table? It's alphanumeric in some sense...

I haven't named them but they definitely each have unique personalities 🥰
Pic 1, was yellow, "probably" a boy, this one seems shy ... always last in line, following others
Pic 2, was brown with tan/yellow spots, definitely a girl, she's sweet and seems to have separation anxiety, she's frequently touching her siblings and mother (comfort, affection, reassurance)
Pic 3, DEFINITELY a boy, was a yellow baby, trouble with a capital 'T' ... alpha personality, always wandering off too far and has several times "gone missing" for the better part of a day ...

The complainant is said to be affiliated with the Bajrang […]
