A victory for privacy and encryption advocates! 🎉

The European Court of Human Rights confirms:

"...Weakening of encryption can lead to general and indiscriminate surveillance of the communications of all users and violates the human right to privacy."

Yeah, knowing I have Chronic Kidney Disease - because damage from the two stones to the kidneys is permanent is bad, but knowing my creatine levels are at a not as dire situation is good.

in reply to Brodie Robertson

that’s actually a really cool trick — the many with-usages (like locks!) are a huge boon to understandable code.

And while it took me 25 lines of code to implement this with with wisp ( hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/wisp/browse/… ) it’s only Python where that’s the default way to do things.

(there is no superfluous with in the previous paragraph ☺)

Being able to add stuff like this to the language cleanly is why I started to move my personal projects from #Python to #Guile #Scheme in 2013, though.

About a year ago Australian radio station ABC Classic FM played this song and asked their audience: is this a hit or a miss? I was in my car screaming, "It's a hit!" When they played it again a day or two ago, I was awash in tears. It is soooo beautiful.

In 1998 at the Grammy awards Luciano Pavarotti was meant to sing Nessun Dorma. He called the organisers forty minutes before he had to be on stage, saying that he was too ill to perform. Someone came up with the idea to ask Aretha Franklin if she could substitute for Pavarotti. She said, "Yes". This is the result.

I didn't even know he was still active. After his hits, 'Claire' and 'Alone Again (Naturally)' in the U.S. ... that was it.
in reply to Muse

Catchy tune and definitely more cheerful than Alone Again, Naturally.

no. Because we believe that at the moment it's a dramatically overrated technology producing few useful outcome and tons and tons of bullshit. Not to mention the environmental fuckup.
Please keep on building stable and efficient software without wasting your time with hyped marketing crap.

He’s here! The prototype, anyway. He’s big, squishy, and friend-shaped. We’ll try to make him as affordable as possible. You’ll have to wait a couple more months to get one, but we might open pre-orders relatively soon.

any chance of producing these fist sized? Something maybe the size of a baseball or softball would be easier to hand out at conventions, ship, and sit on a desk or shelf.

First attempt with two continuous tunsgten lights. I've used the second to accentuate the hair with a pink gel, but in hindsight, maybe should've used it for fill to reduce the contrast on the shadows.

IPD stands for Idea Petri Dish.

So, I don't think biomedical researchers realize how much is at stake with the upcoming election. Take a look at some snippets from Project2025, the blueprint for the next Trump Administration and then be afraid. Then get organized. The plan is to end biomedical research as we know it. Ignoring it and putting our heads in the sand is not an option.

Much more interesting than all those boring superficial demonstrations on perfect fresh installs that are already out there on video.

Have you found the "Desktop Indicator" applet yet? Its a good but simple replacement for the KDE virtual desktop display.


Such great news!

A Rare Gray Whale, Believed Extinct is Spotted

In an “incredibly rare event,” scientists have spotted a gray whale off the coast of Massachusetts, diving and resurfacing in the waters around Nantucket. The sighting left the team astonished: The species has been presumed extinct in the Atlantic Ocean for more than 200 years.

in reply to Muse

Ohhh.. this might be an adolescence whale, exploring, and then he or she got separated from its pod, and then lost. I'm sorry the whale is far, far away from its safe home and family. They have underwater sound communication. The whale is no doubt sending out signals of its location.....but will those signals be heard at such a great distance? The family pod knows this whale is missing - but will their sound signals be heard? The distance between them is vast.
