@eric Name change is no worries! 😉 Interesting/funnily enough my client yarnd _seems_ to have picked it up automatically which is nice (_I've historically always had a few bugs to iron out there 🤣_)_
Not new, but Bitreich's meme listing is fun if you don't mind scrolling
@itsericwoodward Also just a heads up, GIF(s) aren't supproted as an Avatar type on yarnd (_what runs twtxt.net_). I'd change this to something that's more supproted like PNG, JPEG, etc.
@eric I prefer to call what we've built here _really_ an "ecosystem". A network isn't really an apt description. Twtxt/Yarn is arguably IMO the purest decentralised non-social social media ecosystem I think in existence today 🤣
@xuu Your ingress is via some kind of tunnelling too right?

@eldersnake Haha, yeah well "thinking" isn't really something we even know how to define, let alone simulate 🤣
But maybe, just _maybe_ this is why they're pushing so hard to have this "Age Verification" bullshit. So they can then shut people down like me that routinely "speak up" and "against the status quo". Bend over backwards? I think not! Assholes 🤣
I _realize_ I'm a nobody, and no-one will care or listen. But to the various UK, EU and AU politicians pushing for this "Online Safety Act" bullshit.... You're all fucking utter morons! I can't wait for the backflash of what will come next. Idiots.

I intentionally use #AI tools to work...
Tuve de ir ver ao estudo propriamente dito.
Parece que a PCGuia trocou as legendas de dois dos resultados e a coisa é ainda mais incrível que antes: só 3 em cada 10 trabalhadores em Portugal é que não usam IA no seu trabalho. Volto a perguntar: será credível?

Segundo o resumo publicado na #PCGuia a um estudo da @kpmg@kpmg só 2 em cada 5 trabalhadores em Portugal não usam #IA. Será possível?

In an age of rapidly shifting digital landscapes and ever-changing social media platforms, one might wonder what remains stable in our online world. This exploration into the nature of blogs reveals a paradox: perhaps the only constant about blogging is its endless capacity for reinvention.#blogwochen2025 https://maurice-renck.de/en/blog/2025/medienwandel-das-blog-als-konstante
Da mais recente newsletter da @climaximo@climaximo :
"Nos últimos dois anos, a Equipa Legal do Climáximo tem acompanhado quase cem pessoas que realizaram ações com risco de detenção, num total de 72 ações. Destes, 8 foram arquivados, 3 foram absolvidos, e em 10 casos as ativistas foram condenadas. Temos ainda uns 20 casos no tribunal, e mais 20 casos que podem vir a ser objeto de processos-crime."
"Aqui queremos fazer uma pequena pausa para esclarecer que isto não é toda a repressão que o movimento pela justiça climática enfrenta. Isto é a parte que é visível para a equipa legal do Climáximo, e portanto exclui, por exemplo, a indemnização ao Luís Montenegro por causa do seu fato de luxo que ficou sujo numa ação da Greve Climática Estudantil.
E também não vemos como assunto separado os polícias que acompanharam os despejos em Loures nem os vários grupos neo-nazis que de repente veio a público estarem a preparar-se. Esta tendência de governo autoritário é estrutural e é uma resposta consciente por quem manda nesta sociedade, exatamente por perceberem a crise climática que têm alimentado."
"Até agora, apoiantes do Climáximo participaram em ações diretas pela justiça climática e tiveram 8 casos concluídos e 2 ainda em recurso [...] Isto por dizerem a verdade sobre a emergência climática."

What is a #GameEngine for you? Is there a gray area between game engines and graphics frameworks? You can make games with SDL, RayLib, Processing (and py5...), p5js, d3js, but would you consider them game engines?
Maybe I should ask my students to make a game engine purist-neutral-radical alignment chart ? 🤡

March 4th to September 25th, 1789 : The U.S. House of Representatives compiles a list of possible Constitutional Amendments, some of which will ultimately become the Bill of Rights. The House proposes seventeen out of the many which are offered; the Senate reduces this list to twelve. During this process Senator Tristram Dalton of Massachusetts proposes an Amendment seeking to prohibit, and provide a penalty for, any American accepting a "title of nobility" (RG 46 Records of the U.S. Senate). Although it isn't passed, this is the first time a "titles of nobility" amendment is proposed.

@prologic They would know how to do that, but the issue was anything else, like switching workspaces or opening a terminal window or any window at all. 😅
@movq No one would figure out how to :q! ? 🤣
Updating my #Processing + #Python tools table:
https://github.com/villares/Resources-for-teaching-programming/blob/main/README.md#processing--python-tools-table
After some years, things changed and my opinions changed a bit too:
- #py5 is going *super strong* and the "new snake_case names" are not an issue for me anymore. I used to worry a lot about all the Processing Python mode examples and teaching materials out there, and some of my own, with "CamelCase Processing names" I'm not worried at all about it anymore!
- For the record, Processing Python mode is just a legacy thing, no one should start anything new with it.
- The great "pure Python" (no Java required) Processing implementation project #p5py seems stalled, latest release in Dec. 2023 :((( Advancing it was always going to be an uphill battle...
- The unrelated #Brython based site p5py.com seems to be gone, so I removed it from the table.
- I added a link to my own #pyp5js hack *py5pjs/py5mode* because this is the version of *pyp5js* I'm using most nowadays.*
We did an experiment at work today: Do I even need to lock my laptop when I’m gone or is nobody able to use it anyway?
It went as expected. 🤣
@prologic I’m so tired of this. (That’s the goal. They want to wear people down.)
This whole Age Verification that's being rolled out in the UK, AU and parts of the EU is totally fucking bullshit. Death to the Online Safety Act.
@kat yeah it's pretty terrible these days. Most recent trouble I had was something as simple as installing and setting up the Tailscale client. On literally all my other devices (Linux and Android) that was a cinch, but on Windows.... ohh boy, I had to mess around with reg edits and all sorts of crap and eventually bludgeoned it into working, but it was a bloody pain.

A #musiquinta é para músicas ou bandas com nome de cidade, estado ou país.
Laibach é "the Austrian German name of the Slovenian capital Ljubljana" e também p nome da banda escolhida. Tem várias músicas com nomes de países (especialmente graças ao álbum Volk) mas escolho uma música que fala sobre um continente: Eurovision.
