I'm exasperated with Team Talarico on Bluesky ignoring all my requests & never including alt. text on their images or vids. It's exhausting making this request repeatedly. It'd help if a lot more folks asked, too, to compel their social media managers to NOTICE that we (voters) notice the omission.

“I erased it in 1986, metre by metre. While it was being erased, it was quiet. I took that for a good sign.”
5 nights to Halloween. From the Registry: the Tape You Must Not Play.

I don't know what I enjoy more: going through old tickets and fixing them, or closing them on the spot because they've already been fixed without noticing that the ticket existed.

I see that the London Perl Workshop organisers have published a list of talks that will presented at the workshop. There's no schedule yet, but you can start to get an idea of the talks that you'd like to see.

I'm still drinking from the firehose and catching up on all things @gnome. But I have to give heaps of praise to the creators of this Gnome 51 release video. It is flawless! Incredible production and pristine level of polish.

I love the lines in subway stations.

"I wrote a response to Adam Bonica and Jake Grumbach’s piece in The New Republic about all the problems with the [Democratic Party fundraising] system. While I don’t agree with every point, it’s a very valuable article and points toward at least two straightforward if challenging-to-implement reforms. But we also shouldn’t lose sight of what an amazing accomplishment and how incredibly needed Democratic small donor fundraising is. It is a genuinely mass-based, non-oligarch system of funding political campaigns at a time when the Supreme Court has given billionaire oligarchs free rein to buy campaigns and offices at scale."

I had a weekend with colleagues in Köln a couple of weeks ago. Just enough to get a sense of a place, not enough to really explore.
So now Köln is on my shortlist of cities to visit. If only to spend a day exploring the underground stations of the Köln Stadtbahn.

I led Israel’s oldest peace group and advised the Knesset. Netanyahu may fall on Tuesday, but the West Bank annexation policies won’t

I'm glad Apple made a high-end version of the iPad mini but I do think there's a benefit to having a small, cheap tablet option still.
I was hoping they'd do iPad mini ($299, A18) and iPad Pro mini ($699, A20 Pro + OLED)

I’ve joined #COST Action #HARPA, a European research network on #privacy in #AI systems, bringing together computer science, law, #HCI and psychology.
HARPA works in two directions: reducing the privacy risks AI creates, and using AI to build privacy tools people can understand and use.
Over four years, it will develop guidelines on usable privacy tools and explainable AI, a catalogue of privacy risk assessment methods, training materials, and an open repository.

I've dunked on this anti-Muslim bigot before, and class is in session again. Texas mandates Bible study in schools—the hell with the First Amendment. But when Muslim Americans use the same voucher program, suddenly it's Sharia law? Christian nationalists created this voucher system. Now they're fear-mongering because we're using it too. Pick up a book instead of spewing anti-Muslim hate.

I juiced enough apples from the damaged tree for one batch of cider. Still have enough to do at least one more. Not as many as last year, and smaller fruit but tasty all the same. Hopefully it ciders ok.

I cannot stand Sasha Baron Cohen, so I'm never very happy when he has a new movie or show coming out. I'll never forgive him for the sheer racism that is his Borat character and he loves taking cheap shots at the left and claiming "equal opportunity"

I've added print styles to my site 🖨️
I honestly can't remember the last time I bothered with print styles - not just for my own personal site, but any project. Probably 2008 or so.

I will add: I don’t agree with all of their conclusions or what “modernization” means in all aspects, but it was fun to see how cycling evolved in the States, specifically, and the cultural context around each shift.

I am attending an #SOA (Society of Actuaries) conference. None of the countries listed, including India, China, Mexico, Brazil, has a fertility rate above 2. And people live longer. That is concerning.
The keynote speaker says
We will have to learn to live with more risk.My personal opinion
We will have to learn to live with less.Not less risk. Less stuff.

I had photographed a quote from one of my books. I forgot which book.
CoPilot attributed it to Thomas C. Schelling. But it did not know which book and I don’t have work from Schelling. Copilot withdrew its answer. 🤨
So, since Google has already digested a lot of books, I asked their AI. Yup, it found it, including the chapter.
Okay, AI has some benefits… 🤓

I wish I hadn't let the architect specify sliding doors. The French seem to love them, and they are positively evil and should be banned. I hate them, they constantly derail or jam...

I'm impressed by what the #AI does but also WHY?!?!?
I feel like it lost completely track of the task and instead of just doing it it is now trying to write some nix code to do the task...

I’ve just remembered that I literally did a TEDx talk on this subject a couple of years ago. Perhaps it’s time to talk about something else?
