Ylilauta on potkittu ulos Googlen AdSense -mainosverkosta
Tivin haastattelussa Google kertoi syyksi sen, että Ylilauta rikkoi AdSensen käyttöehtoja mm. "väkivaltaan yllyttämisen ja ihmisryhmän halventamisen" osalta.

Tapahtuu Suomessa jotain hyvääkin: Teuvo Hakkarainen ei aio jatkaa poliitikon uraa.
@thisismyglasgow I’m sure there are more exiting ways too, but let’s just get the obvious ones out of the way first. First of all, 20! is a huge number, so avoiding that should be pretty easy. For example, 20+20+20 is a valid (but trivial) answer. Almost as boring would be 60+60-60.
@freemo Chemical equilibrium constants are absolutely wild. The unit can end up with just about any number you can throw into the reaction equation.
@nebyoolae Consider switching to Lemmy.
It’s a lot like Reddit once was, but without the corporate shenanigans.

‘The AI Act's debiasing exception to the GDPR’
A new blog post by Marvin van Bekkum & me.
The AI Act includes a debiasing exception to the General Data Protection Regulation's ban on using sensitive data (special categories of data). The EU considerably improved the text of the exception, compared to the first draft by the European Commission, adding several safeguards for processing sensitive data.

Absolutely fucking wild that US folks who work in cabling (eg telecoms) use kilofeet to measure distances.
@mikhailt @box464 @fediversereport @zak But on a real computer you can use a real browser to browse the web. Why would you use an app that is limited to showing a single website? On a mobile toy OS I can totally understand it, but Windows is a real OS that actually allows you to do stuff.

#QOTO is back after a long migration in the first stage of our upgrade. Now that we are on a new home we will give it 24 horus to see if the move was bug free (As it seems to be) and then we will start upgrading versions one at a time day by day.. The upgrades are prepared and ready and should be **much** quicker.
The move took a while as we keep a backlog of every message to the start of the fediverse so our media and DB stores are quite large and it took a long time. But we are back!!!

But what happened to science fiction? Did the scifi community grow or change as a result of the Reddit blackout? I took a quick look over at Social-Rise (/r/scifi and /r/sciencefiction) and the results are startling – see for yourself:
In each of the three screenshots – the dots indicate daily post/comment activity on each subreddit. Higher dots mean higher activity, lower dots indicate lower activity.

@gerrymcgovern How about we try renewable energy plus some grid energy storage to smooth out the peaks.

To add to this, I'm also very cognizant that most people, when finding a "How to do XYZ" guide online don't want to read someone's life story and how they were inspired by a trip to Venice and then spend sixteen paragraphs and 2,000 words writing about that trip before getting to the recipe or guide...
This is why we keep our introductions short on all our How Tos - usually just some minimal background and prep before diving in. We save the longer stuff (history of the drink, where it's popular, variations, etc) for AFTER the how to steps.
I mention this, because adding the guide revisions bit adds more content before the actual step by step guide, and I'm not sure about placing it there. I might put it at the end of the guide.

From /u/Udzu on Reddit: The numbers 0-99 sorted alphabetically in English, French, Spanish and German.

(German confirmed to be a scrambling algorithm masquerading as a language.)

wikipedia has so many gems, but this has to be one of the best.
related, English is such a clusterfuck, what a crazy language
but also I'm completely obsessed with heteronyms, they're the best thing ever
