@stux nooo... not the truck stop!
Because the idea that you found it weird, in a Jewish context, to speak of Israel when that's exactly what's in the shema, when it's in the architecture of every synagogue, when it's built into the Hebrew calendar, and when it's part of most holidays.
The Jews have been forced to deal with a forced exhile, but there have been over 2,000 years of "And eventually we'll return home"
And so nothing about that experience should have felt anything weird or surprising.
In better news I've finally figured out the perfect analogy for what the fediverse is in the larger social media verse.
We're the shire. We're in our nice little country village posting pictures of mushrooms, cats ,and trees. We also gossip about the people going on adventures outside the shire and complain about the evil places of the world over a pint of ale.
Bluesky is Gondor, X is Mordor and Truth Social is Barad-dûr.
Greetings fellow hobbits!
@mike Isn't Bluesky more like Rohan, paralysed with Wormtongue whispering in its ear, looking at Isenguard and shivers.
A promise not realised, a hope lost ...

I created a new Pixelfed branch for the new webUI!
It's not finished yet, but I'm confident it will be ready to merge into our main branch before the end of the month.

Few days ago Ruud showed me Harmony, a free open source Discord that federates and I decided to give it a try!
So far it seems nice! Unfort no iOS app but web app does have push

@wrenix @CoolTux dad Ding wollte ich mir auch mal ansehen. Vor allem jetzt, wo kürzlich der erste stable Release veröffentlicht wurde (?).
Auf der anderen Seite habe ich ein schlechtes Gefühl, weil es ein bisschen so liest, als könne man in einen Vendor lock-in schlittern? Und als sei Stalwart sowas wie Freeware oder könne bald Einschränkungen in der Community Version bekommen?
Ohne das jetzt geprüft zu haben. Aber sowas habe ich aktuell im Hinterkopf. :S
NVIDIA Allegedly Engineered Scarcity By Funding AI Startups To Buy Its GPUs
Following the departure of now-former NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang, a new report has emerged alleging that NVIDIA artificially inflated the ongoing GPU and memory shortage by investing in AI startups that would go on to buy NVIDIA GPUs and build data centers. The reason behind this was to maintain the perception of ongoing high demand and to move an oversupply of semiconductors from TSMC.
@nixCraft [insert "pretends to be shocked" gif here]
I *hope* my fears are overblown.
But apparently it's starting to make inroads in central places

@quincy @lechimp Whether it's overblown or not is a question of which point of view one is taking, and of course dependent on ones opinion on this kind of use of LLMs.
But if it's not overblown, then consider it an ongoing debate or a fight that is not over. If the situation is roughly that half of the members are OK with it, then it's a large fight, (I don't want to cal lit battle.) not a lost one.
I don't really want to do any of them but I also have to stay up for 5 more hours, so I guess I get to do one or all of them
I think I found a stupid way to make it work:
dotnet publish -f netstandard2.1 --configuration Release
this builds it but copies all the needed DLLs into the bin\Release\netstandard2.1\publish\ folder, so I can hopefully scoop out all the ones I need and copy them into the game's folder
Mid afternoon nap is coming back to haunt me. (ie, I am too awake for the time of day). But I did need that nap. 😬

Have heard (Brendon Buchard back in the day) & read (National Geographic also way back 2018 maybe July issue - and read a few other places as well?) about 25 minutes plus or minus 5 minues so 20 to 30 minutes is ideal. Any more and a post like this happens. Also tracks a third place kinda when I was checking the rules a library polices (not all stuff gets shipped via ILL - plus that place was remoding and not leanding) and theirs was an even 30 minutes of more recent time I saw that.

Some have reported issues with buying this training. This was due to the Microsoft outage.
Just kidding, the whole stack is self-hosted. The truth is it's totally on me for leaving one wrong box checked.
The prices are now, errm, correct too, with an early-adopter price of EUR98 for this training up until Nov 28.

It's good to see that NLnet, a prominent funder of F/LOSS development, isn't buying into generated code. Tiny glimmers of hope.
@ossington I think that many projects will come to regret it sooner or later for a variety of reasons.
The three of us who maintain Fedify (@z9mb1, @2chanhaeng, and I) have all submitted proposals to the Social Web devroom at FOSDEM 2027. I wonder how many of us will get to give a talk. I'll probably talk about implementing portable objects (FEP-ef61) in Fedify, @z9mb1 will cover how Fedify has evolved over the past year and what lies ahead, and @2chanhaeng will talk about DrFed.
@hongminhee @z9mb1 @2chanhaeng fedify is so good, thank you all so very much for making it
GitHub is telling me I pushed code 14 minutes ago when I pushed it only like a minute ago. How did they mess that one up so badly‽
