@z3ntu Yeah, was also quite confused why I had to let my baggae go through screening when I went to Lisbon (through Spain)

hey quick question. as a civilization, do we *really* need this many similar but not quite identical connectors types??

@gagath you should! I also gave a talk at miniDC, the important part is that you have fun!

Signal Messenger is warning that Recall, the AI tool rolling out in Windows 11 that will screenshot, index, and store everything a user does every three seconds, poses a risk to its users. Effective immediately, the Windows Desktop version will by default block the ability of Windows to screenshot the app. Of course, Microsoft provides no API to disable Recall from screenshotting specific apps, so Signal is getting creative. They are invoking a digital rights management API that blocks the screenshotting of copyrighted material.

@minouette Wanted to print it out and hang up in my flat.

Help!

From a quick look around, it seems Wi-Fi 7 is still new-ish, and all laptops I could find with such a chip are a little pricey (1000+ EUR). If you know about a cheaper option (I mostly care about the Wi-Fi 7 thing) that can get delivered to France, I'd love to hear from you!

Otherwise I guess I'll investigate external adapters (USB-A/USB-C), that seem to be ~ 50-100 EUR.

Context: 6.12, , to develop/test support in the installer.

Please boost, thanks!

@minouette awesome artwork! Do you have a high-res version by chance?

For International Tea Day, my Green Tea Chemistry print. This illustrates green tea and its chemistry. There’s a tea pot, two cups of tea and a tea plant (Camellia sinensis) on a tray, and in the steam, you can see some of the organic chemicals found in green tea. Up to 27% of the composition of green tea can be a member of the flavonoids called catechins like the molecule illustrated on the right. 🧵1/n

At the base of the tray is a chromatogram to illustate the L-Theanine (largest peak) and other amino acids in the green tea.⁠

Ordered a replacement display for my broken phone, and it arrived cracked... -_-

@jmtd yeah, pulseaudio is garbage IMO. Switchted to pipewire and had 0 audio issues since then. Wondering if I still need the pulseaudio compat thing...

@grillchen @frumble lacht in hard- und softwaredesigner. Hardware resp. Elektronik wird sog. "KI" auch in 50 Jahren nicht können. Ich denke, dass es bei den reinen IT-Berufen aber durchaus (leider) Kürzungen geben wird, weil idiotische Manager glauben, dass man das auch vibecoden kann

So much casual hatred of men and masculinity on this platform. Unrelated: anybody knows where all our trans masc friends are?

I know, there is a lot of masculinity trauma out there, we do live in a patriarchy after all. But I'm trying to heal, and finding myself in a bubble that virtuously embraces its trauma is not helping towards that goal.

The counter to toxic masculinity is healthy masculinity, not toxic antimasculinity.

Handy bilingual mnemonic for tool use. 🪛🔩

"Rightie tightie, leftie loosie" in Spanish is 
"la derecha oprime, la izquierda libera." 

[image of a screw with a curved arrow pointing to the left, another identical screw image with an arrow pointing to the right] 

Meaning: 
"the right oppresses, the left liberates."
