Listening to a 50-year old cassette on a Walkman from 1998… and it sounds really good.

In 50 years from now, will any of current streaming services still be around?

Unsere Zivilisation steht am Abgrund und in #Österreich ist man damit beschäftigt, zu diskutieren, ob obligatorischer Lateinunterricht am Gymnasium noch zeitgemäß ist...

WaPo laid off one of the journalists who won a 2022 Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

universities in the 1980s: writing the majority of internet standard RFCs and their implementations

universities now: moving away from Microsoft cloud is really hard okay? 🥺

Mittwoch! Wir sprechen über jene Speise, die sehr langsam anfing, dann immer schneller wurde und schließlich als das ultimative Fast Food die Welt erobert hat: Sushi! 🍣

@trav_tan @cm Ich habe ebenfalls einen unbefristeten im Kleinformat und kenne etliche Papierdeckelbesitzer:innen.

@oli Hallo Oliver! 👋

Ich hoffe, du hast dich von mir nicht irgendwie verpflichtet gefühlt! 🫣

Decentralization shifts risk rather than removing it. Running your own services reduces dependency on platforms, but increases dependency on your own operational discipline. Backups, updates, monitoring, and recovery are no longer abstracted away.

What used to be handled by a provider becomes a set of explicit responsibilities. When something breaks, the cause is usually mundane. A missed update, an expired certificate, or a backup that was never tested. The tradeoff is autonomy for responsibility, and it is only obvious once you are operating the system yourself.

Research shows that different llm models come up with the same shitty stories, although very open prompts like “story about a dragon”

@PaulaToThePeople I'm testing Pachli after using Tusky for many years exclusively.

Except for the summarized boosts/favs, I think I may prefer Pachli: it seems to reliably remember the reading position which Tusky always f... up.

@macf00bar Ist bei mir kein Problem.

Die Prüfung geht auf den gesperrten Bootloader. Laut Standardanleitung GOS sperrt man den auch nach dem Flashen wieder. AFAIR kann das LineageOS nicht und da wird der Unterschied liegen.

George App (Bank) geht auch, eAusweise geht, A-Trust Signatur geht. Bislang gingen alle Apps, die ich brauchte.

@struberg Ich denke, Milizübungen sind ziemlich problematisch.

Stell' dir vor, drei deiner wichtigsten Devs/Architekten müssen einen Monat vor einer Projekt-Deadline für einen Monat weg.

Ob 5 oder 12 Monate: ein Jahr ist sowieso verloren: Matura und Studiumsanfang.

Das kann man IMO gleich am Stück machen.

This guy named Ben Palmer made an "Immigration tip line" and people call it thinking he's ICE.

He records them and shares it with the world.

What do people sound like when reporting their neighbors, coworkers, students? Are they confident they are doing a righteous good thing?

Witness the banality of evil in these sheepish suburban voices.

Probably one of the better protest signs I’ve seen lately. 😄
