@timnitGebru @xriskology I want to share it with myself and give it a read! Where can I find it?

@hby now I have to ask -- what are the most important differences between Prolog and Datalog?

I hoping my digitally savvy friends might seem some light on my conundrum. As a Dad (of five, one who is nearly a teenager), I am struggling to find a good plan for digital safety and literacy. The trouble is that the plethora of resources offering help and advice are in stark violation to principles of data protection and privacy. If a government proposed it, we would be outraged. But to protect kids, we are willing to go full Big Brother.

So, how can I make my kids digitally savvy without going Big Brother or selling them or their future to the sharks?

@some Ugh. Sounds awful.

I just read about tasty #image #compression via
https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/images-done-right-web-graphics-good-to-the-last-byte-optimization-techniques#svg-scales-very-good

take-aways (and there are many): #GIFS are BAD. #WebP are good. #ImageMagick is good. Oh yeah, and those weird conversions of images to video files on Reddit -- how that works, because #VideoCompression is good!

I was just signed up for CPAP due to "mild sleep apnea". My wife thinks that it might help with my cerebellar ataxia (CB). She is probably right. They had me sign a cooperation agreement when we picked it up, because apparently it's not uncommon for people to simply not use the CPAP once they have it.

They probably aren't all reading the app's privacy and permission agreement, but let me tell you, it was obscene. I'll paraphrase: 'we'll have your personal and health issue info because... Medical.' Now, that might be understandable; I might have to live with that (we hope...). But then, '... And we contract with an undisclosed list of affiliates and will share any of your information with any of them as they request. And that information includes anything they derive from all your Google information combined with all that juicy medical information.'

But, don't worry; they say it's all for my good. Including services they can "customize to me." I'm sure they are all perfectly benevolent. But I'm not using their app.

How does Mastodon come up with its "followers" number, being decentralized?

yay! this one showed up

do no one's qoto mastodon "home" feeds show their own posts anymore, or is it just me?

My last post doesn't show up in my "home" feed, though it is definitely ponted. Has something changed with qoto mastadon?

Today I learned about #CSS #layers. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@layer

Sort of explains why I wasn't winning the precedence war, despite gnarly `!important` rules. What do you use to keep uptodate with the latest #webdev?

and... it just hit 100%.
