Reverse engineered how Thalys stores their tickets in Wallet links.

Bad thing : on literally the last evening Thalys app and website exist.

Door over "de coronaperiode" te praten wordt verder gesuggereerd dat het voorbij is. Ja, de maatregelen zijn voorbij. Totaal! Niemand heeft er blijvende schade van ondervonden.

Covid raast echter nog steeds rond, blijft muteren en maakt massa's slachtoffers. Nu vooral #LongCovid zieken, gehandicapten, arbeidsongeschikten + uitgestelde overlijdens door persistent virus.

Tenslotte vermijdt dit "Stilstaan" zorgvuldig de schuldvraag (overheid, RIVM, OMT!). Was dit te vermijden? (Ja!)

@mynameistillian Poverty is expensive. Not being able to pay off debts or see a doctor or buy better food or see a dentist and so on all adds up to even bigger problems that will cost even more to fix down the road. Shits why the essentials of healthy life (shelter, heat, food, healthcare) should all be provided by our taxes. A healthy populace ensures a healthy society.

Guess there's no such thing as "four seasons" in "temperate" areas anymore 🙃

I fucking hate capitalism and what they've done to fucking everyone on this planet holy fuck

I don't want allies.

I want accomplices.

It's almost as if Mozilla had a point with their "codecs should really be written in a memory-safe language", and Google's claim that "you should just write your C++ more carefully" was always some hot garbage that people only accepted because they were blinded by Google's carefully cultivated propaganda about how all their developers are unmitigated geniuses

Related to the latest round of everyone finding out what happens when you write image decoders in C++ now known as CVE-2023-5129: you may want to update every electron app on your machine as much as possible. Electron is built on the foundation of Google Chrome and it turns out that the webp vulnerability is also present in Electron. Annoyingly, this is going to require you to figure out which vendors have patched their apps for the vulnerability. Good luck.

You probably should update Discord immediately.

A propos of the poor being a punching bag for the political right, the criminalisation of poverty and the ugly rhetoric they embrace every time they need votes.

Know your enemy.

We can do better. We can look after each other. #Solidarity is the way.

Holy shit looks like the WGA pretty much got *everything it wanted*, including structural change.

UNIONS WORK.

We already have enough for everyone.
It's just being hoarded and wasted.

Did all the graphic designers go on strike too? #design #google #logos

For those still not getting it, this is how strongly and heavily Bard is trained to weight the associations of "Doctor" with "he" and "Nurse" with "she":

It INCORRECTLY DENIES THE GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURE OF THE SENTENCE rather than let the doctor have she/her pronouns. These are all three drafts it gave.

Fourth picture shows it has almost no problems with the same structure, using he/him pronouns, save one draft where it claims the nurse was owed.

And my run-through for singular They got a response of "It is unclear who was owed money in the sentence" until the times the nurse was owed money and it "corrected" the pronoun to "she" (see next toot).

I mean… Yikes and holy shit, y'all.

Happy 25th birthday, Google.
