Graphic of a power button icon where the top segment is replaced by a book, symbolizing education as power. The text reads “Education is Power,” with the European Commission logo visible.

💪🏼 What’s the power of a more educated society?

More democracy, equality, and opportunities.

On the International Day of Education, we reaffirm our commitment to enhancing high-quality education, training, and lifelong learning across Europe, through our initiatives like the Union of Skills.

This LLM model I was checking started mumbling and calling "mommy" in the middle of reading a technical text.

The trash bin is working overtime.

WE SAVED REBOOT YouTube video by ReBoot ReWind

Awesome video restoration project from that tricky digital transition period www.youtube.com/watch?v=L00j...

Been ignoring my plain notifications on i3. Found it was running on dunst with xwininfo + click on notify-send window. No example configs in the expected folders, so borrowed one into .config/dunst/dunstrc then killall dunst to restart it. Checked man 5 dunst. I could spend too much time on this.

I feel we'd solve a bunch of issues around the internet if everything had a "10 questions before you post" expert system form. We sacrifice a lot of self-organizing capability for the sake of immediacy.

Fields near Pokrovsk. Everything is covered with fiber optics.

This is a local thing but it made my day so I wanna share -- the politician that was in charge during the floods in Spain and was too busy socializing with a journalist on a Thursday to send alerts finally stepped down after a year of protests. The floods happened 2km from my home and killed 237.

Here’s what’s happening and why it’s such a rare opportunity 🧵

An image illustrating the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA). The background is a dark purple with a binary code pattern of '0's and '1's. In the center, nine yellow icons representing DSA themes are arranged in a circular formation, similar to the stars on the EU flag. These icons include a bell, a locked padlock, a crossed-out 'AD' symbol indicating a restriction on advertising, a magnifying glass over a document for transparency, a shielded checkmark for safety, and a crossed-out symbol likely relating to content moderation or tracking. Below this visual representation, the text in large white letters states DIGITAL SERVICES ACT, followed by a smaller line of text that reads "TikTok and Meta preliminarily found in breach of their transparency obligations." A small European Commission logo is located in the bottom right corner.

Preliminary findings:

🚫TikTok & Meta failed to grant researchers adequate access to public data.

🚫Meta failed to provide simple ways to notify illegal content and to allow users to challenge moderation decisions.

This is a duty, not a choice.

Calling an executable PHP script via Nemo actually populates the $_SERVER variable with useful info, including NEMO_SCRIPT pairs with full path of current selected files and whatnot. $argv alone doesn't have enough data.

Noticed a bunch of these ornate gold medallions slapped all over the Oval Office. We found em on Alibaba. “High-density Home Decoration Polyurethane Appliques Ornament PU Foam Veneer Accessories” from seller Guangzhou Homemax Decorative Material Limited.

I like explicit over implicit but I probably shouldn't have forgotten that 'cd' ↵ is the same as 'cd ~' ↵

Thunderbird has been a CPU hog lately for me, let's see if disabling global indexing helps. Got a few too many mails around, even with curated retention policies.

Industry standard for all-human captions was >99.9% accuracy in the 90's, specially when it was part of selling something.

New reddit comment box makes a graphql request on every single key stroke (disgusting). Let's see how much can I break by blocking it.

Jumped 30 hops to find where to add policies.json on Firefox snap only to find out it won't block secondary URL requests. Back to uBlock custom filters I guess.

380 requests to load a reddit page with uBlock on is nuts. You aren't even doing anything that important.

"New" reddit should be renamed to "old" reddit since the UI has the performance of a 2000 Geocities page full of gifs.

I run i3 usually without compositor and some UI widgets were insisting on using semi transparent shadows. This comment on Reddit still works for the Firefox UI www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS... I.e. going to about:profile, root folder, create chrome folder, add CSS in userChrome.css

Bit of regexp I wrote to make uBlock filters force new Reddit to sort (redirect, actually) by Hot instead of Best. It requires enabling user- filters in advanced dev options, which you shouldn't do if you copy random filters off the internet.

You use uBlock to block ads. I use uBlock regex to force reddit to default to Hot instead of Best. We are [^

I was today years old when I learned dragging a file from a file manager (nemo/nautilus) to a Save dialog showing that same folder selects the file that you dragged.

PHP doesn't get so much hate anymore so, hear me out: Linux but it ships with PHP instead of Bash as terminal shell. It'd be funny.

Still doing tweaks going from Ubuntu 22 to Ubuntu 24, had to add a sleep 0.2 ahead of xte 'mousedown 1' for it to trigger correctly.
