I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).

@freemo You might find https://s.ai/nlws/ interesting.
@arh@smallcamp.art Yeah, this. In addition I'd expect it to offer a possibility to remember your instance in localstorage, so that you don't need to type its address each time. If/Once we get some canonical way to send people to their mastodon instance (e.g. via browser extensions once they become popular enough), I'd expect it to try using that too. @louisrcouture
http://www.twibright.com/hw.php has a very wide variety of ... projects? design documentation of stuff? recipes?
@tomek Wiesz może jak się ma do siebie całkowita liczba podróży w Polsce i Niemczech?
@moonbolt Which client(s) are you using?
@bgcarlisle Many people care about free software not (only) so that they can trust that software does what it says on the tin (in the manual), but mostly because they want to use the computer as an automatic agent of theirs, so want to be able to modify software they are using (and share those modifications, etc.).
A city builds and staffs a new jail. Before putting arrestees in it, they want to test whether everything operates well. But how do you test a jail without arrestees? You invite the public to spend a day or a few in the jail as beta testers: https://app.guestoo.de/public/event/b937d04d-7b32-4755-96a7-337f85180bec

@toroidalcore Would something prevent me from using the same address, and discriminating the method of delivery per recipient? (I'd obviously need to declare both of them as valid in SPF.)
@freemo What are the colored lines that cross the profile and are annotated with gas mixtures?
TBF, there was an additional reason to use fonts from a cdn in the past: you would benefit from them being already cached (because some other website surely fetched them) and so reduce the latency for the user. Alas, this creates a way to exchange information between different origins _and_ is a permacookie, so all caching, including fonts, is now essentially origin-isolated (I think it's not exactly per origin, but some similar concept; don't quote me on details), so this benefit is no longer there.

@emacsen I thought that standardization of components (incl. lack of DRM) is the main missing thing for right to repair. If there's a battery standard (incl. physical interface) that is generally followed, then what prevents someone from manufacturing to that standard, and people from buying those batteries and using them as replacements in their laptops?
@charlie_root@social.linux.pizza
Eh... why do we try to be magical? When you claim to depend on a package that's actually a file, Nix treats it as a build hook and tries to execute it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/b23dbb1a5dffbfa3abb47fcd0f1579ac2e6f29fc
So, adding extraneous srcs to buildInputs breaks your build instead of doing nothing.

Haven't read it yet.
@jonny And then obviously the watermarking techniques will adapt. Asking for two copies is a way to ensure that whatever we are doing still manages to scrub the watermark (they should be identical after scrubbing).
@jonny I wonder whether uploading every paper to sci-hub twice would be feasible (i.e. would we still have enough people do that). (If we did so, then it would allow sci-hub to verify with reasonable certainty that whatever watermark-removal method they would use still works.)
return of compelled work AKA slavery in the US
@Anarkat Do you know which court this is happening before or maybe have a link to the case history on the court website? I can't find the records using Google (usually searching for names of attorneys representing both sides is enough, but not here); you say it's a federal court and the article says that it's happening before an "Outagamie County judge", which seems to contradict that.
return of compelled work AKA slavery in the US
@Anarkat You can sue ~anyone and ask for ~anything, even if you haven't got a snowball's chance in hell of getting that (and people threaten to do that or do that, counting on misestimations of chances or on (possibly mistaken) caution of the other side).
Note that the (current in force) outcome here is not forcing them to work:
> Otherwise, he said, the order prohibiting them from going to work at Ascension would be final until a further ruling was made. That means the seven health care workers would not be working at either hospital on Monday.
If anything, this is a violation of some kind of free association principle, but doesn't appear to be slavery (at least much less than the prison variant of "you can work only for these organisations", because this is a temporary "you can't work for that organisation" situation).
