Israeli forces are inflicting genocide on the people of Gaza, according to a new Amnesty report.

Yet the Scottish Government continues to bankroll the arms companies who are profiting from the killing.

They must now finally do the right thing and stop funding genocide-profiteers.

@quinta I'm not convinced about the "Learning" part.

Machines don't learn shit. As they obvious don't have any kind of understanding of they're doing, or any kind of "thinking" process. They just produce statistically plausible-sounding bullshit. Which is… well, mostly (by far) still bullshit.

It's more like "Planet-burning machines for profit" rather than Machine learning or learning algos. Or anything related to "learning" or to "Intelligence".

@Shamar sì sì, problema politico immenso. Immenso.
E immensamente sottovalutato dall'opinione pubblica.
Come quello dell'infiltrazione palese, evidente, oserei dire trasparente, della lobby BigTech dentro TUTTI i partiti del Parlamento.

Ovviamente è diverso quando a infiltrare e condizionare la politica di un paese è un tuo "alleato" o un paese "non amico". Ma il problema resta comunque grave

💥 Celebrating a Decade of Devuan: The Fight for Freedom Continues! 💥

A decade ago, we embarked on an audacious journey, resolved to “not go gentle into that good night” and fiercely defend our freedom of choice. Today, the reality is stark: the Linux landscape has been increasingly commercialized, compromising its core values and spirit.

6am, I just checked my email and found this gem:

«  I remember Elena visited my school in Los Angeles over 5 years ago, and presented her documentary, The Illusionists. The viewing inspired me to take a gender studies class, and ultimately reframed how I consume media and see the beauty industry… »

No need to address me in the 3rd person dear student, I don’t have a "team". Just a person hoping to make a small difference. I’m sitting in bed with a happy tear streaming down my face 🥲

The more I read about the more I like it (I'm repeating this sentece too often, lately).

While reading about that I was exposed to a whole operating system designed for a machine.

Here some links:
- permacomputing.net/DawnOS/
- esoteric.codes/blog/a-programm
- web.archive.org/web/2020013112

The original website is down.
I was able to download a binary image from the WaybackMachine, but I can't find the source code anywhere.

I cannot even find a license, so I suppose it's neither nor .

I'd really like to know more about this and its history (boost appreciated) and I'd like to find an up-to-date address to contact the author.

PSA: It is strongly encouraged, when you have a PC laptop, to remove those Intel Inside and Windows stickers vendors stick on the palm rest. You bought it, you don't need to carry around ads for the product, and they will just get icky over time.

Carefully peel them off, starting at a corner, and use the glue residue on the sticker to remove any glue residue remaining on the palm rest by sticking a corner back down, and peeling it back off. Repeat as needed until all glue residue is gone.

Questa conversazione, partita da un problema di traduzione, mostra che il multilinguismo aiuta ad approfondire le questioni che altrimenti verrebbero viste unilateralmente [English version below].

Nell'agricoltura biologica c'è:

una parte artificiale: l'intervento umano (anche con il solfato di rameli>
una parte "biologica": la vegetazione delle piante

Nell'"organic web", come nel web conviviale, gli esseri umani, creature viventi, fanno la parte delle piante. Big Tech fa la parte dell'agricoltore interventista. Il "fediverso", riducendo al minimo la centralizzazione e la guida algoritmica, lascia fare alla natura, cioè a noi esseri umani in carne e ossa.

Essere paragonati a piante non deve offenderci: nel linguaggio della filosofia medioevale e protomoderna, "natura" (contrapposta a grazia) indicava ciò che gli esseri umani riescono a fare da sé, solo con la loro ragione. Qui al posto della grazia di Dio c'è la finta gratuità di Big Tech che si propone come Mammona: quindi a fortiori ci conviene tentare di essere "naturali" per conto nostro, nel senso dei giusnaturalisti.

Per riassumere: l'agricoltura biologica è un'agricoltura "meno interventista" che lascia più spazio alla vegetazione (per esempio non rende i contadini dipendenti da semi OGM che devono ricomprare ogni anno). L'"organic web" analogamente forma reti sociali più distribuite e amministrazioni meno "interventiste" lasciando più spazio alla nostra specifica "vegetazione".

This conversation started with a translation problem: but multilingualism added a lot a different perspectives that, perhaps, would never have been posed in a monolingual approach.

I have to say that the more I look at the @grunfink's source code, the more I like it.

Folks, please do delete your X accounts, by all means, but I’d be very surprised if that meant that your data is deleted or that Elon Musk won’t be using it to train his AI, etc.

I put in a data deletion request after deactivating my account in 2022 and set the Irish DPC on them when they didn’t. After several back and forths, with the Irish DPC being less than worthless, I gave up. Afaict, there is zero enforcement of GDPR Article 17.

What is the correct way to configure .htaccess to send all requests to a unix domain socket?

Ivtried variour enchantement with mod_proxy and mod_rewrite without success.

.htaccess only because I want it to work on shared hostings.

Also, what about NON php fcgi?
I couldn't even get it working with mod_proxy_cgi (again, .htaccess only). The receiving server is up and running, listening at the destination UDS.

Am I missing something obvious?
