Anyway...

This was one of the "ghostly" squashes; hollowed out, a little olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper, plus a pinch of allspice inside, then roasted for 25 minutes.

The stuffing is sautéed onion, red pepper, garlic, chopped dried apricots, assorted nuts (pine, cashew, almond, lightly crushed), whatever herbs/spices are available/appeal, a chopped tomato.

There was, of course, wine (Cariñena).

There are, of course, no leftovers...

@woozle @shadowfals I saw a reply there for a sec and now I appear to be blocked. Sorry whoever I made mad enough for that. I was gonna ask if GPT2 was also unethically sourced, and then if the response was yes, then where's the cutoff?

Fwiw: I don't want killer robots, I don't want to waste water and power, and I would generally like artists and creators to be compensated for their work. But, I do like robots that can kinda hold a conversation and find zero days.

@verge turns out, it wasn’t about serving the local community at all.

🚨 #Google is collecting phone numbers /SIM from your phone by default now without asking for consent, here is how to disable it

I have a test phone with stock Android (and hence Google services) to test how the apps I develop behave there etc.

The other day I woke up with a notification in that phone, out of the blue Google was telling me they "verified my phone number" basically they stole/collected my phone number from my phone and sent it to their servers without any consent.

I know the trust bar is very low, but even then I didn't expect Google to do this.

Here is how you can disable the collecting of your phone numbers which is on by default:

Go to Settings -> Google -> All Devices -> Privacy & security -> Phone number verification. See attached screenshot.

Or even better: switch to #GrapheneOS #LineageOS or other #degoogled systems

Please boost and spread with your not-so-techie friends that might be using stock Google phones

With unwavering hope 🤍 Volunteers in Gaza run this community center for students & educators resisting scholasticide. Can’t we keep it open?

The only ask is for a 5 you click “weekly” or “monthly” on…it’s a real lifeline.

Spotted in #CambridgeMA around #MIT.

Well over half of the congressional staff to U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens quit on Sunday
in direct protest of the Democrat's endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate,
a surprise announcement designed to boost Rogers over Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed.
Stevens' former chief of staff, Justin German, spoke publicly in a statement:
"As Haley Stevens' Chief of Staff for eight years, I speak on behalf of our team in wholeheartedly supporting Abdul El-Sayed for Senate …
We are shocked and heartbroken by Congresswoman Stevens' decision to support Mike Rogers," German, said.

"As of this morning, many members of our team have resigned, including myself.
We encourage everyone to exercise their civic duty,
vote for Abdul and Democrats up and down the ballot,
and stand up for the America we all believe in."

@wildrose i think we might be about to get the year of the freebsd desktop

I discovered this new feature of @zenbrowser called Boosts yesterday that lets you easily change the colors and fonts on any website and have been rocking @phanpy in purple with a different font now for the last 24 hours. It's amazing how much small changes like this alter the way software feels to use.
