Demo yesterday explicitly told us to turn off GitHub CoPilot any time we're working with PHI, PII or any other kind of officially sensitive info.
My work is *entirely* data driven.
There is no robust test platform, no dummied up claim data, nothing to support us in avoiding real data for testing and development.
If I can't use it for sensitive work and all my work is sensitive, WTF am I supposed to do about being required to use it?

“Rules-based order” is such a misleading and strange phrase. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t actually involve any rules. It’s just the amoral exercise of power from the US-aligned bloc.
Fortunately, it is over now.

In questi pochi messaggini ci sono assolutamente non io che, nel pomeriggio passato, ho fatto fieramente sfoggio delle mie skill di inserire spine grosse in prese piccoline… un tipo di operazione che almeno qualche volta nella vita bisogna prendersi lo sfizio di fare (…o la necessità). Infatti, senza pensarci due volte, eccomi lì a violare le norme elettriche in pubblico (all’università!!!), collegando per ben 2 ore una spina schuko in una presa italiana, perché mi sono ahimè accorta di non avere l’adattatore nello zaino. 👻
Ovviamente non è illegale, per me o voi semplici utenti dell’impianto elettrico, fare una cosa del genere (ci manca solo che in Italia si regolamenti su come le singole persone devono o non devono usare le spine)… ma è proprio questa sensazione di legalmente non vietato che si intreccia con il moralmente discutibile (anche se non è un enorme tabù, perché alla fine non fa male a nessuno… voglio dire, ho collegato un laptop in questo modo qui, non una lavatrice scassata) che dà tutto il senso all’operazione ribellione. E quindi io non solo ne godo, ma me ne vanto; e me ne vanto doppiamente, anche scrivendolo qui per i posteri! 🥴
Scherzi a parte, per quanto è vero che in questo caso niente succede a livello elettrico, visto l’alto rischio che la spina non esca più dalla presa (che per fortuna in questo caso non si è avverato: tirando lentamente ma con forza se n’è uscita senza fare danni) ci avrei forse pensato due volte a fare questa schifezza… se solo il portatile non mi avesse teso un altro dei suoi scherzi di terribilissimo gusto. Era carico fino ad un’ora prima (in laboratorio ci sono le prese schuko, a differenza di quest’aula), ma poi qualcosa è andato storto quando l’ho chiuso e messo nello zaino (dopo aver comandato a Windows di ibernare), perché appunto, quando un’ora dopo l’ho ripreso, ho scoperto che era caldissimo e aveva perso più di metà carica della batteria… per girare da scaldino molesto. Era (inequivocabilmente, dato il tepore) fisicamente acceso, ma su uno schermo nero o grigio, senza rispondere a nessun comando. Alla faccia dell’ibernazione, oh… Windows avrà scambiato ghiaccio con fuoco e dunque gelo con caldo? Che cazzo di roba. Praticamente, metterlo a caricare senza collegamento a massa sarà stata per lui una (giusta) punizione, così impara. 🔥

HRW urges China to release 11th Panchen Lama, calls on ‘concerned parties’ to assert Tibetan rights
Human Rights Watch on Thursday urged China to free the 11th Panchen Lama, Gendun Choki Nyima, and his parents, who were removed from public view in 1995 and have remained missing ever since. As the 30th anniversary of their disappearance approaches on Saturday, human rights advocates have intensified pressure on Beijing to end decades of secrecy and take accountability for the Panchen Lama and his family.

in reply to Medea Vanamonde🏳️⚧️ ♀ • • •The image features a mandrill sitting on a rock. The mandrill has a distinctive appearance with a grayish-brown body, a prominent red nose, and a face marked with blue and white stripes. Its fur is dense and appears to be well-groomed. The mandrill is looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. The background is blurred, suggesting a natural habitat with rocky terrain. Overlaid on the image is the text "Who stole my pie?" in white, bold letters, adding a humorous context to the scene.
