"Do french websites use croissants instead of cookies?" Darn it, we're busted! #web #francais

I've a pet f*ing peeve. Websites that tell me that whatever+something@example.com is an invalid email address. It is *not* /end-of-rant

I'm fascinated... so many new vibe coded web sites have adopted Anthropic's color palette without even thinking about it. I hope they will grow up and find their own style some day...

”De personer du tycker är ”intressanta”, som du finansierar och privilegerat kan umgås med utan rädsla, är människor som utsätter oss andra för hat, hot och våld. Som tar våra demokratiska privilegier ifrån oss.” www.flamman.se/kara-daniel/

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@davidculley/116984144382730224 I agree that there's a lack of understanding democracy in some circles. #codeberg's members made a collective and democratic decision, and there's nothing wrong with that. What I have a harder time is the argumentation that's used, and […]

So it seems that #codeberg decided to participate in the #ai polarisation. I don't judge them for that, it's their choice, of course. But, I can see how that will cause another exodus. More network drama, more polarisation. Will the next place also be (quasi-)centralised? I prefer to self-host […]

So, it appears that crates.io has you depend on github. That's rubbish, and doesn't increase my enthusiasm for #rust.

I was at #suomiareena today, and listened to Justin Trudeau talking mainly about democracy and its values for an hour. I could have listened for longer. He's one of those that, at least in my mind, will be remembered as one of the great and good people of this era, alongside Barack Obama.

[sigh] watching someone trying to register their f-secure license key. I starts ok: https://myf-secure.com/register/<LICENSE-KEY> But then, this redirects to a completely different URL, starting with http:// Security in 2026 is found wanting...

According to https://no-color.org, setting the environment NO_COLOR means strip away the ANSI *color codes*, not *all* ANSI style codes. It seems, though, that too many confuse bold, italics and similar with color, i.e. strip away *all* ANSI style codes when NO_COLOR is set. This seems to have […]

If I say "I'll be there by nn", and you think you heard a precise time, then you didn't hear me.

On my way down to Gothemburg. See ya there! @foss_north

In Sweden, you may here people say "katten paste" (in english, that would be "the cat paste"). Seems like nonsense to the non-Swede, and yet... See, the "cut'n" in "cut'n'paste" sounds very much like the swedish word for "the cat" (you guessed it, it's "katten"!). I hope you enjoyed this […]

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/116386220551417416 Imagine having to replace a bookshelf if you want to get a new book...

Utvisningspolitiken är nu så omänsklig att den strider mot grundlagen, anser professor Ludvig Beckman som hoppar av Migrationsverkets etiska råd där han suttit sen 2019. ”Utvisningarna har löpt amok. Jag vill inte legitimera det”, säger han. www.dn.se/sverige/han-...

RE: https://mamot.fr/@ploum/116051482658014796 All of this should be self evident, but alas, it seems they need to be explained these days.

The curse of forgetting that noisy bars no longer work for me.. [sigh] It was a nice one beat and short conversation at the beginning, though...

As you figure out #FOSDEM at FOSDEM, consider how to help fellow attendees by improving https://github.com/bagder/FOSDEM

In Bruxelles, someone from Sweden needs to learn not to wear so warm clothes. I'll learn, any decade now...

I'll be at FOSDEM this weekend. On Saturday, I'll spend quite a bit of time at the OpenSSL stand. Come say hi! On Sunday, I plan to hang quite a bit in the local-first devroom (see https://openlocalfirst.org/).

Not holding policemen accountable when they kill someone has two effects: 1. Other policemen will hesitate less before killing someone. 2. Citizen will be more afraid and protest less in front of policemen. (the more the news speak about it, the more afraid they will be) 3. The few remaining […]

Between LLVM, LVM and LLM, sometimes my head's spinning... especially when tired and doing an 'apt full-upgrade', seeing that 'llvm' will be updated, and somehow wondering when the hell AI invaded my Debian laptop. #tired

Nicely written.

To everyone out there, may your midwinter holidays be beautiful, joyful, comfortable, restful and in good company. No matter what you celebrate or how you celebrate (or don't)

Fediverse heads up! Try not to put hashtags in the middle of sentences, maybe one or two hashtags, but not more than that Reasoning: Screen readers. For you, that's just a small character and some colored text, for a blind person using a screen reader, that is the word "HASHTAG" being […]

I swear, they studied how people accidentally touch their Android phones ... and put all of the Gemini buttons there.
