Moin Leute, kann mir mal einer sagen, was hier wieder los ist ? Was analysiert die Friendica Directory nur wieder ? Oder besser nicht ?

Gestern stand das noch auf "95" ganz vorne dran.

Leider wird der Grund der Änderung unbekannt bleiben, bis git.friendi.ca/friendica/frien… umgesetzt ist.

Die Zahlen werden nicht nach Zufall generiert. Aber wenn der Grund für die Änderung nicht dokumentiert wird, ist das klarerweise suboptimal.

Ein Verbindungsproblem beim Abfragen der Instanz-Informationen (also Ping hat funktioniert und warum auch immer gab es Probleme beim Auslesen der Informationen vom Server). Vermutlich ist die Flaschenpost in einer Woche wieder am Ufer.

This is just too funny. Imagine being this mad that you got outed as needing people to boost your gaming accounts.

Plan9 revisited: A visionary OS ahead of its time.

in reply to It's FOSS

Plan9 architecture was (still is) beautiful. I played with it way back sometimes in thelate 1990s, but never got above some simple programs. Thanks for bringing this up.


Please boost: If you are in STEM (esp Botany, Germplasm Conservation, Horticulture) and can help me put together a CV and "marketing strategy" that would be attractive in the EU, NZ, etc. please give me a holler. I'm not sure what I can afford, but if you do sliding scale or are open to barter, that would be lovely.

Ideally I'm looking for something that plays to my interdisciplinary strengths, ability to knit micro with macro, and increasing #accessibility in STEM.

US to cut billions in medical research funding

could this be the ugliest article on wikipedia?

whose idea was it to use all these different font colours with drop shadows? why do so many headings have these green backgrounds that stretch across the whole page? how are graphs still broken with no fallback (even a static image) since april 2023? what's with all the gaps in the page?

Oh no. NIH is reportedly capping the "overhead" paid on research grants to 15% of direct costs, which would represent a 60-80% reduction for most grant recipients. I'd expect NSF and other funding agencies may likely follow suit.

Why is this bad? Overhead on grants is what funds most of the infrastructure - office space, administrative staff, utilities, etc - at research universities. Without it, they simply can't operate.

If you work at an r1 in the US, it's likely that at least some of them will bankrupt in the next year. New guidance issued instantly capping indirects at 15%.

Those that don't go bankrupt are going to be purged of a substantial amount of staff and faculty.

This is why people on Steam don’t want more launchers and forced sign ins. The PlayStation Network is down.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Back when I'd use a potato computer, often the presence of any launchers would be the difference between usable and unplayable. So even besides the aspect of preservation, this sight is extremely hurtful. 😔

Good old days when games came on physical media and didn't require any online services to be able to play. Especially singleplayer-only games.

I like it, but I'd split them into 3 different optional animations to be chosen.
Option 1: segment from 0-10 seconds + ending
Option 2: segment from 10-17 seconds + ending
Option 3: segment from 17 -28 seconds + ending

All three options could have the same cool ending, from the segment 28-33 seconds.

Confused between these two terms? We make it easy:

LLM are text generative AI. why talk about "both", when one is a sub category?
Article seems to be for non tech people and that it doesn't clearly state that relationship feels wrong to me.


UK demands access to Apple users' encrypted data


The UK government has demanded to be able to access encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud service. Currently only the Apple account holder can access data stored in this way - the tech giant itself cannot view it. The demand has been served by the Home Office under the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA), which compels firms to provide information to law enforcement agencies.

"Apple is likely to stop offering encrypted storage in the UK as a result of the demand."
