Gli stessi suoni che dalle mie parti si usano per festeggiare il #capodanno, in altre parti del mondo significano morte e distruzione. Per questo motivo non mi piacciono per niente.

[Christmas Carol / Weihnachtslied] Sorry, just found this great performance of one of my favourites (a bit late, I know...)/ Habe diese sehr schöne Version eines meiner Lieblingslieder erst jetzt gefunden (etwas spät, ich weiß...) https://youtu.be/JRXhY5px9Hs

[weird programming language] I stumbled upon this weird programming language while checking how others have solved part 2 of day 10 of adventofcode.org (which I avoided before finding my solution): Uiua (https://www.uiua.org/)

[impazzimento Ryanair] Comprati 3 biglietti #ryanair, 2 con 1 bagaglio piccolo e 1 con 2 bagagli a mano e 1 bagaglio in stiva da 20 kg. Vado a fare il check-in on-line e mi ritrovo 3 biglietti uguali con bagaglio da 10 kg (e il call center chiude alle 17) 😡 A qualcuno qui è capitato?

[Frage über ein Weihnachtslied] Das ursprünglich französische Weihnachtslied dessen Refrain "Gloria in excelsis Deo" ist, kannte ich mit einer zweiten Stimme die eine Terz darunter anfängt und dann nach unten geht während die erste Stimme auf demselben Ton bleibt. Nur finde ich auf YouTube […]

Cerco un'alternativa europea a #paypal, trovo #wero, e mi arrabbio perché in Italia ancora non c'è e non se ne parla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wero_(payment) (non c'è neanche l'articolo Wikipedia in italiano)

Thanks, didn't know of its existence. Doesn't resonate with me, though. Maybe there is a correlation between that "idea" and the preferred social network.

Better late than never: two days ago I saw the Oscar winning #documentary #nootherland for the first time. If you haven't seen it yet, I strongly recommend you do. Especially now that the Israeli parliament is advancing a bill to annex the entire #westbank. The VPRO shows the full documentary […]

[Übersetzer Untersteller] "Übersetzer Untersteller" könnte mMn eine gute 🇩🇪 Übersetzung (ja ja, ich weiß...) vom 🇮🇹 Spruch "traduttore traditore" (🇬🇧: translator traitor) sein. Habe ich erfunden 😉. Ist mir jetzt wieder eingefallen, wo eine neue italienische Übersetzung von Kafkas "Die […]

Son got #steam account stolen and almost fell, together with me, for a #scam demanding ~ 400 € to reactivate it (with reassurance that the amount would be refunded...). He _thought_ he had gotten the email of the Steam customer support from a reliable source, and _thought_ that he had been […]

eccallà, età pensionabile spostata avanti di 1 mese nel 2027, di 3 mesi nel 2028. Indovinate in che anno dovrei andare in pensione io... Ma perché non sono nato in Francia?

This is important. On the one hand it means that the Russian regime is now finding it harder to recruit more cannon fodder to send to Ukraine. On the other hand it also means that Putin is still completely convinced that he can win this war, no matter how many bodies he'll have to pile up to […]

L'EBU (European Broadcasting Union) ha annullato il voto per decidere se escludere Israele dall'Eurovision Song Contest, rimandando la decisione ad un incontro a dicembre 2025 con i rappresentanti degli enti televisivi coinvolti. Se Israele (cioè il suo ente televisivo, Kan) non verrà escluso […]

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch.

Hey fedi, did anyone try out OpenCore Legacy Patcher to put new macOS versions on older macs? A friend has a 2017 MacBookAir and he asked me to swap the SSD for a larger. I noticed that the last OS on this machine (macOS 12) is now unsupported so I was looking into alternative ways of updating it.

J.D. Vance enthusiastically promoted the book, which uses genocidal language to stoke hatred toward liberals and progressives. While blaming "the left" for violence, the far-right has been publishing blueprints for dehumanization and civil war. www.thenerdreich.com/unhumans-jd-...

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

One of the side-effects of the AI bubble is that we stopped talking about alternative solutions to computing problems. Everything needs to be solved with "AI" - meaning an LLM - and nobody stops and asks if there is an alternative. This drives me mad because LLMs are not only unreliable, but […]

I recently talked with a guy who builds software for small & medium sized German insurance firms and he says almost all of their clients are working on removing US services from their tech stack due to perceiving them as highly risky.

[Kotlin coroutines] What to read for a _systematic_ treatment of #kotlin coroutines and all the machinery around them? I have the "Kotlin in Action" book (2nd ed.), from the authors of Kotlin, with examples, use cases, etc., but IMO lacking clear definitions, tables, etc., i.e., not enough […]

The most interesting video about #music I've ever seen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCsl6ZcY9ag (Don't let the title mislead you: it's about consonance as much as it's about dissonance)

„Ist das euer Ernst?“ Eine ukrainische Friedensnobelpreisträgerin muss immer wieder Menschen im Ausland davon überzeugen, dass die Ukraine Frieden will. Was @avalaina.bsky.social hier eindrucksvoll beschreibt, ist eine Tragödie und zeigt, wie schief unser Diskurs ist.

I just realized that when I look up info on the Internet for my profession as a software engineer, I now have a new fear: that what I'm reading has been concocted by some AI and has NOT been thoroughly checked by a human. In other words, I'm afraid of AI polluting the web on every level.
