Regarding the non-action from governments, I'm often reminded of Jean-Claude Juncker's quote "We all know what to do, but we don’t know how to get re-elected once we have done it". He wasn't talking about climate change, but the point stands. I fear that many European politicians do believe in climate change, but are consciously not doing the right thing. https://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/publications/pages/publication12586_en.pdf
do I know anyone who has used the RSSI of nearby BTLE or WiFi APs as an ad-hoc positioning system? i.e. your device knows where N different beacons are in space, and figures out roughly where it is by extrapolating from their RSSIs.
would love to chat about it and get some idea of how good the reliability and spatial resolution is, especially in crowds.
(should go without saying, but I'm asking for the purposes of interactive art and not creepy surveillance)
i have a tattoo on my leg
of trees that no longer exist
i guess we should count ourselves lucky
that we moved away when we did
another heatwave forecast
the ground is like cement
but lest you start to think, fear not!
the paper has assured us
that flights still take off and land
as flames approach the runway
the world is on fire
in every possible way
but lest you want to fight, fear not!
there’s bound to be something on telly
the foreign holiday is booked
and we can all look away
until
we can’t.
Well it's almost a week since #emfcamp, and Tony has finally crunched the numbers for the juicy #Overbrewed statistics! We had:
- 115 teams play
- 4127 coffees served
- £40,701 of in-game tips made for Tony
- Latest game played: 02:30am - 03:00am
Destruction stats:
- 3 rubber gloves
- 1 udder pressure pump
- 1 chair
- 1 TV (oops)
Now that we're home and have mostly cleaned up the #emfspacedust from everything, we're looking for more places to run Overbrewed in future! If you have any suggestions -- events, festivals, company events, private hire -- please do get in touch, as we'd love to bring it to more people!
But it's not all quantitive: Here's a few of the most life-changingly inspirational quotes from our quotes board:
- "High-quality udder design"
- "This is the last time I'm running something on Salesforce!"
- "GRAB the CRAB"
- "I'll just do this forever and that'll be my world"
💬 Ist das diese europäische Souveränität von der immer die Rede ist?
And finally: welcome to self-promotion corner!
We're hoping to do much more immersive games / escape rooms / _STUFF_ in the next year. **Much** more.

I'm planning to make a video about it soon but in my journey of replacing my #mac with my #linux desktop as my sole workstation, I started using FadeIn. It's not open source but it's an industry supported screenwriting app that runs natively on Linux. Though when installing via distrobox on #Bazzite it doesn't have an icon that sits nicely on the dash. So I made one! Available on #github
"Islamism needs the AfD, and the AfD needs Islamism. Both agree that women, queer people, and others are simply less valuable. Both gratefully accept that their members are radicalized by the other."
@afelia is absolutely right. replace AfD with Reform UK/MAGA etc. and it's the same.
both must be equally called out in strongest possible terms.

A newbie question about French law
Or multiple questions. Does it mean I now have to check age of people who read my blog if their IP is within France range? Or if their language is French in user agent string? Or law demands browsers to send special digitally signed header of I am adult or I am minor kind? Does it apply to requests coming from Fediverse in behalf of accounts belonging to people this law applies to? Generally speaking, to what extent the age verification law like French one applicable to France?unrelated but since I have to travel to Altrincham, it actually got me into appreciating Bee Network. not just bus/tram fee caps, but singular payment system as well
some would think public transport ticket caps are insignificant in terms of savings – boy, you're wrong. it helps a lot more than you think
I lived in Oxford where it wasn't like this, and I had to wait for bus from specific company bc my day ticket wasn't valid on others

i am indifferent to whezher my ears are in your caption
It's funny how in my lifetime I've gone from:
“you need to memorise everything and use offline sources if you want to navigate the world,"
to:
“just bring your magic phone thingy and it will have all the answers for you,"
back to:
“you need to memorise everything and use offline sources if you want to navigate the world"
again.
It is both hilarious and inevitable that the AI bros are kicking off about the #Codeberg membership voting by supermajority against #LLM contributions and vibe coding.
The social context of the modern "AI" movement is based around a fascist idea that "might means right", and that we plebs can't stand up to the force of the TESCREAL billionaire class. And some people really get on board with that, perhaps thinking that they can curry favour with the billionaires who don't even know they exist. So even as small and insignificant a resistance as a tiny German non-profit saying "no" is unconscionable to them.
This is why my inbox has been filled with screeds and rants and bad-faith arguments for the last few days and I've been laughing at them and deleting them.
UPD: 20 euros was added to cover for Ko-Fi fees, sorry about that.
Not a post I wanted to do, but I am still not getting my disability benefits. I have completely run out of my funds, so in addition to finding money to eat, I need to also complete the PC build, to keep searching for work since my laptop is dying.
Since I would need to cover for monthly expenses plus find cheap RAM somehow in this day and age. I would appreciate any help, even 1 dollar.

Thank you
Debian discussion to ban LLM, https://www.debian.org/vote/2026/vote_002.
Undeniable arguments, with sources!
> It is our belief that widespread LLM usage comes from the "move fast, and break things" attitude that, while common in many parts of this industry, is contrary to what makes Debian Debian, and is inappropriate for Debian contributors. (1/3)
Have a waterful day!

LOS BOSQUES NO NECESITAN SER LIMPIADOS.
Los bosques llevan existiendo desde hace más de 350 millones de años, y en aquella época no había allí paisanines que se pusieran a limpiar el bosque para que estuviera bien.
