Last version of BGP was BGP4 from 1994, the developer has abandoned this project, do not buy, thumbs down

Dat "tijd voor solidariteit"-documentje van GL-PvdA zou een stuk geloofwaardiger zijn als ze niet steeds met de staart tussen de benen weg zouden rennen bij demonstraties zodra de politie losgaat om vervolgens de schuld af te schuiven op 'relschoppers'
Happy downtime day everyone!

ableism, wojaks
if you post or boost that horrible ableist 4chan bullshit meme format where "stupid" people are depicted as being physically deformed and grotesque, you are normalizing eugenics thinking! and spreading 4chan shit around! It's gross!
@jacksonchen666 Like, the availability of the stuff I use isn't exactly perfect either, but I sure seem to be getting way less total downtime than on the centralized internet

YO I FUKKEN DID IT!
Turns out one of the am5 pin was bent, I assume some responsible for iGPU. Fixed it with a needle and now it all works!

(For those unaware, Google is currently a bit on fire and so is anything else that uses their infrastructure)
Ah, I guess it's time again for the Yearly Incident where a new generation of sysadmins and developers learns that centralizing your access management also means centralizing your points of failure
Sometimes it feels like every GDPRtoday newsletter is just like:
COUNTRY 1: The DPA imposed a massive fine on EvilCorp Inc.
COUNTRY 2: The DPA imposed a big fine on Dubious Engineering Ltd.
COUNTRY 3: The DPA fined the literal government for data mishandling
NETHERLANDS: The DPA has upheld that it's Totally Okay for companies to do this sketchy thing

I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker came out with:
“If you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this. Everyone in this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.”
Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up.
“If you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.”
Almost every hand went back down.
“As you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, you’re making them feel good, even if you don’t like asking.”
I’ve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I won’t forget that.
@nichtich @gedankenstuecke @martinvermeer Dogmatism is the remaining option when you're dealing with a billion-dollar industry hell-bent on exploiting and wrecking all of society

Okay, I feel the need to share this because people who only speak english may not realize it.
As a french speaker, I'm seeing more and more websites auto-translating their content, because I guess now there's #AI translation and people think it works?
Guess what: the translations are still shit. It was not okay to publish Google-translated websites without a native speaker checking it if you didn't want to be ridiculed, and it's still not okay now, despite all the hype.
Please don't do this.

This Pride Month why not support queer authors (and publishers) by buying the StoryBundle. 14 proudly queer ebooks at the bargain price. Details here: https://storybundle.com/pride
@whreq @pinoaffe Ah, sorry, I misparsed the question, brain was occupied with something else.
You're correct that only *functions* capture their lexical scope, but aside from data-only objects (which can be treated specially and pretty much eliminate the need for such an $env feature in the first place), pretty much the only other thing that can exist on objects is functions, and so in practice "non-data objects capturing their scope" and "functions stored on objects capturing their scope" end up being approximately the same thing, differing only in implementation details.
If you wanted to be really specific you could make it func.$env.something instead, this would still address the sort of usecase I'm thinking of
@nichtich @gedankenstuecke @martinvermeer I have exactly zero interest in AI booster hype.
There exist zero working models that solve the problems with LLMs/GenAI and there is no reason to believe this will ever change due to fundamental properties of the technology, and that is where the discussion ends for me.
