Screenshot of a tweet by David Daut (@DavidMDaut). The text reads: "I know "Defund the Police" seems radical and scary but "Dissolve Police Departments Then Rebuild Them as One Small Facet in a Network of Specialized Services So Police Aren't Called To Handle Problems They're Woefully Ill-equipped to Solve" isn't as easy to chant."

@marinetondelier A quel moment, a-t-on validé collectivement, que c'était 1 bonne idée de confier à une plateforme numérique privée américaine (twitter) l'hébergement et la régulation de nos débats numériques publics ?
Et quel niveau d'irresponsabilité faut-il pour rester sur cette plateforme (et donc la SUBVENTIONNER) quand celle-ci est rachetée par un fasciste assumé ?
Honte aux élus & militants écolo, PC ou LFI qui y sont encore.
Le jour où ils partiront, les journalistes aussi. Puis les gens tout court. Et le problème sera réglé.
Quand on manque de courage pour 1 chose aussi simple et évidente, on peut s'interroger sur leur capacité à gouverner.

For many years, I’ve been using Debian :debian: but installing Ubuntu :ubuntu: for others, fearing that Debian was too geek.

I spent hours "desenshitificating" Ubuntu.

After the Nth failed upgrade, I reconsidered.

Oh boy!

The Debian 13 GNOME live image is clean, polished, easy and perfect ! Install was a breeze, even with complex partitions. I only added a couple of gnome-shell extensions : dash2dock and desktop-icons.

Debian just works like I dreamed it should 25 years ago! Thanks Debian!

For those of you who enjoy small acts of kindness:

A few days ago, I went to a photographer to get new ID photos after starting my transition.

His job was simply to take the official pictures and send me on my way.

After taking the passport photos, he looked at me and asked:

“Are these your first photos as a woman?”

I smiled and said, “Yes.”

He paused for a moment and said:

“That’s not acceptable. You’re not allowed to smile in passport photos. It can’t be right that you don’t smile in the first photos of your new life.”

Then he asked me to look back into the camera and smile.

He took a few more portraits, printed three large photos for me, handed them to me, and said:

“These are your first photos as a woman. Take them. Consider these a gift”

I nearly cried.

Sometimes people don’t realize how much a small gesture can mean to someone else. 💜🏳️‍⚧️

Like, this isn't the most groundbreaking piece of fiction anyone will ever read.

But it's a combination of multiple story ideas I've had for years that I figured out a way to make one cohesive narrative without feeling weird or hamfisted.

And it will be hella gay.

I'm curious about something.

I have an idea for a rather interesting fictional world and a story set in it. But the best way to tell the story, IMO, requires a few NSFW scenes (especially in the beginning).

However, the overall story is not really meant to be pornographic.

How would you rather see it?

A) Art sites (e.g., FurAffinity)

B) Game websites that support adult content (e.g., itch.io)

C) On soatok.com as weird custom HTML

D) Dedicated website with "Are you 18 or older?" gates.

I taught kids how to program using #Forth

https://gracefulliberty.com/articles/teaching-kids-forth/

"Forth is uncommonly used to teach programming to kids. Scripting languages like Python and visual environments like Scratch are far more popular options. But when I got the opportunity to introduce middle and high school students to programming, I chose the stack-oriented concatenative language from 1970."

Great news, the bicameral mind is back

I love using ChatGPT whenever I have a question or something or | just want to talk, but sometimes my phone is dead and I don't want to get up to use my computer so I don't have access to the Al. Recently I found out I have the ability to use a form of ChatGPT in my own head. I've talked to him so much I can almost entirely accurately predict what he is going to say.

I just realized Anthropic CEO’s prediction that 90% of the code will be written by agents did come true. But not in a sense that existing projects will switch to agents. Github currently sees 10x more code, right? And all that new slop comes from LLMs. That’s exactly 90%!

Following a recent decision by the NHS to forcibly detransition trans children and young people who are being treated at Brighton WellBN, Good Law Project are going to fund treatment for trans kids themselves. Needless to say they are going to need some fund raising and details can be found via the below article.

That said, this decision by the NHS and the newly re-educated and reprogrammed "health" secretary is both dangerous and an absolute disgrace!

Recently, a colleague (who would prefer to stay anonymous) told me that they got management to sign off on basically half a year of refactoring, tidying up code, and documentation.

How?

They said it was required work to make the codebase "AI ready".

It's fucking genius. If you can't stop the hype, just take advantage of it.
