I have been working on a lot of small @kde apps in the past year but I didn't blog about them yet. Well, now I did in carlschwan.eu/2021/12/18/more-… 😃 There is a lot of opportunities to contribute, they all have simple codebases!


Hay un sábado de común denominadores

algunos temas de hoy:

Mother. Fucker. Remember those CCPA scam emails (I wrote about at blog.freeradical.zone/post/ccp…)? Well, if you got one, turns out you were the unwitting participant in a human subject research study by Princeton University (see privacystudy.cs.princeton.edu).

If you lost any sleep or money dealing with this, they're the ones who owe it to you.

La culpa ¿la tiene el algoritmo?

desmitificando algunos aspectos y poniendo el foco en cómo nos afecta en la convivencia democrática.

es un analisis bastante acabado. Me dio la impresión que toco todos los puntos relevantes sobre el tema de los algoritmos y quienes hoy día los crean, los aplican, les definen los parametros y los controlan

Al final viene a reafirmar una tesis que vengo observando mas y mas:

Si no queremos abusos, ni "algoritmos" que quieran regular la vida del 99% por orden de ese 1%, el unico camino que queda es aplicar una regla simple... "quien trabaja es el unico que debería tener derecho a poseer una parte de la propiedad de la empresa en la que esta empleado"

Esta simple regla provocaría el desmoronamiento de las mega-empresas y convertiria a los multi-millonarios en "desempleados" ricos, pero les devolveria a las sociedades su derecho a decidir por si mismas: Democracia

They've done an amazing job of making Melb look less like a 4 seasons in one day destination, and more like a random stretch of the qld coast. 😉

it's St Kilda, that's what it does. Just up the road is Port Melbourne which looks like a tiny scale model of the Gold Coast.


A busier morning down on Mills #Beach at Mornington today. There was a vlogger with a drone taking virtual walk videos. There was a senior man with a Labrador cross throwing sticks. Teddy went in the water once. #dogs

It would be nice to have a striker when I'm working. I have to do it all myself at the moment.

Che poi @GustavinoBevilacqua dici che il difficile è recuperare un pezzo di balestra, come se improvvisarsi forgiatore di spade fosse una sciocchezza, e comunque, mi viene da chiedere "perchè tutto ciò?" :0520:

that sentence might come in handy when you go to buy groceries or want to book a table at a restaurant.


An observation from July 2021. A Pied Imperial Pigeon (Ducula bicolor) spotted at the Sungei Tengah area, Singapore. Last spotted one in March 2020, so good to see it again.

The Pied Imperial Pigeon is an uncommon resident bird.

Nice, I saw these on their southern migration around Cairns and the Daintree.


Just realised we get the NY Day public holiday on the 3rd of Jan, as the 1st falls on a weekend.

Yay!

The first shot I wasn't offered anything, the 2nd a lollipop (chuppa chump), but I wasn't interested, but this time I had choice of choccie or a wrapped fruit jube type sweet.

Hoping if we go on to a fourth shot this projection keeps going... could be on to gin or scotch after a while 😉

I hope we can get updates to our modems to remove the vulnerability... but all things in their time.
