  1. RE my last post, does anyone out there use Slashdot? I used to read it regularly but then some mods with agendas kept modding my comments down so they wouldn't get read. Haven't been back in years.

  2. #BMW Blasts Its Cars' Internal Screens With Aggressive #Advertizing - #Slashdot

    Is BMW so eager to suicide itself?
    I will **NEVER** buy a car with advertizing. Or with the technocontrol imposed by UE. I'd rather go outside the EU and buy a car in a country without their crazy rules.

  3. [Перевод] Вот бы вернуть те старые неказистые форумы

    Не так давно число моих подписчиков в Bluesky перевалило за 20 000, о чём я даже не стал говорить. Естественно, я обратил на это внимание, но потом подумал, а в чём смысл? Далее будет пройдена очередная отметка, на которую я смогу указать, испытывая смешанные чувства. Фишка современных соцсетей в том, что они буквально засасывают тебя каким-то интересными событиями, но к концу дня это ведёт к чувству опустошённости. Возможно, именно поэтому, когда я наткнулся на топик с вопросом: «Какая твоя любимая соцсеть?», то ответил не Twitter, Bluesky и даже не Tumblr. Для меня это был форум новостных дизайнеров из середины 2000-х, который назывался Visual Editors. Честно говоря, работал он хреново. Там была удобная функция чата, которой часто пользовались дизайнеры, ожидавшие поздними вечерами корректуры своих страниц. Но сам форум постоянно и без предупреждения падал. Зато в плане коммьюнити он был выдающимся. Почему современные социальные сети не вызывают таких приятных чувств? Как вы уже поняли, сегодня я буду говорить о судьбе веб-форумов.

  4. "Possible applications range from the encryption of sensitive communications and digital identities to public randomness services for lotteries and blockchain applications."

    you know you've done some world changing shit when you can tout uses for two things people love: gambling

  5. Just polled my software team: without googling or asking, have you heard of #copyfail ? if so, do you know what it is sufficiently to explain it to a colleague?

    Not a single hand. We make embedded #linux devices. ( yes, ours are affected.)

    Call me old fashioned, but when I was a #developer I _kept tabs on shit_. First coffee every morning was pouring over #slashdot and #thedailywtf and a dozen tech specific #blogs and #newsgroups and #channels. Whats new, or blowing up?

  6. @fosstodon #Slashdot has their Mastodon account there.

    Are they sleeping?

  7. "Cal.com Is Going Closed Source Because of AI" #Slashdot

    "I make the code proprietary for AI" what a pathetic excuse.
    Have they read the #agpl?
    Do they know that they are not at all obliged to give the code to pigs and dogs, without asking anyone for anything?
    They could easily put the code in a repo 'watched by human personnel'.

  8. Stopping visiting #CondéNast sites has not been easy. #Slashdot and #ArsTechnica have been two of my most visited sites forever!

    But after learning of their treatment of their union workers, I can't in good conscience give them my attention.

  9. "#ReactOS Celebrates 30 Years - #Slashdot"
    "Gandalf, I was there 3000 years ago" i.e. tell me I'm old without telling me I'm old 😅

  10. "Nearly 5 Million Accounts Removed Under #Australia's New #SocialMedia #Ban" - #Slashdot
    Is this right? I don't think so. This don't make young people to grow as responsible adults, it is only a show of power of the government that treats its citizens as a stupid mass to be controlled.

  11. Im Geiste der aktuellen Bestrebungen, sich von ausbeuterischen Großkonzernen frei zu machen (#DID, #DUD), möchte ich auf meinen Artikel hinweisen, wo ich erkläre, weshalb man bei der Auswahl, wo man sich im Internet einbringt, genauer hinschauen soll.

    Don't Contribute Anything Relevant in #WebForums Like #Reddit, #HackerNews, #Slashdot, #StackOverflow, ...
    karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid- (habe ich auch damals am #37C3 mal vorgetragen)

    Der Aspekt, der damals noch keine Rolle gespielt hat war, dass die #KI die Beitragsautor:innen ausbeutet, um beispielsweise damit Profit zu machen.

    insofern: überlegt euch, auf welchen Plattformen ihr euer Wissen teilt. Ein eigener #Blog mit RSS/Atom-Feeds wird zusehends spannender.

  12. @CGM Thinking back, there were so many wonderful things in these languages, even languages that for one reason or another essentially went away. My best friend is a #Perl expert (which I used at #Slashdot). I love that Perl has regular expressions built-in to the language; but I don’t want to write Perl anymore. I loved the way #Oberon2 connected functions to types.

  13. 🚨🚀 BREAKING: #Websites beg #digital #hordes to play nice, only to be stomped by the mighty #Slashdot stampede. 😂📉 Meanwhile, 'respect our #robot policy' is the new 'please don't feed the trolls.' 🙄🤖

  14. Evidence from the #OneLaptopPerChild Program in Rural #Peru - #Slashdot
    "Following students over time, we find no significant effects on primary and secondary completion, academic performance in secondary school, or university enrollment. Survey data indicate that **computer access** significantly improved students' computer skills but **not their cognitive skills**"
