If you feel that the green-left is too woke and progressive, but you also don't want to vote right-wing because you've got empathy and have learned at school where that went -

Please, take a sec to reflect on whom those "conservative" parties align themselves with and whom they enable. And what their themes are. And where that is going.

Are some people using their preferred pronouns really worth burning the world, Europe, and your own society down for?

Looking at the world, I'm surprised not more people are pointing out that "AI at human levels" is really putting the bar on the floor.

@larsmb I think they're tearing up the floorboards and then applying pickaxes, shovels, and excavators prior to bar installation.

@xahteiwi With sincere apologies, but my brain just went to the documentary I have seen about how they excavate 2+ subbasements in posh London neighborhoods to install pools and bars (because they don't have space/permits above ground), and then bury the excavator as well ...

This video still triggers honest to God PTSD in me 10 years later.

This is the permanent fate of a subject matter expert and a general audience in charge.

Alright, time to mask up more or start violently coughing, totally ruins your fitness otherwise.

... I'm talking about running, this time. Turns out even very small insects can be rather bad for your breathing.

Excuse me while I try to stop hacking and crying.

Is there any way to see what language a certain post is set to on #Mastodon?
The top-level HTML's "lang" attribute seems to be "en" always even for one I posted as "de" myself, and there's no flag or anything?
It seems to be completely absent even in the page's source. :-/

When sales says "Availability, Consistency, and Performance are of equal utmost priority" ... and you're like "but they really can't be"

Why are so many people responsible for IT who don't just understand the specific trade-offs but also the idea that not everything is possible?

The personal and work profiles on Android work so well what even I, as the owner of the device with it in my hand, can't manually share a screenshot of a "work" app to the other profile.
I use it to separate two identities and am the "admin" for both.

I hate how we're being held hostage by our devices.

PSA: auch wenn Miteigentümerinnen eine betrügerische "Impfkristall" Anlage gegen Kalkablagerungen installieren lassen wollen und das physikalisch-chemische Verständnis von Homöopathinnen und Heilpraktiker*innen haben und Erklärungen mit "wir sind ja alle keine Experten, wir sollten es probieren" abtun ist die Verwendung der Worte Betrug, Quacksalberei und Unsinn nur begrenzt dem Frieden auf der ETV zuträglich und ich sollte wirklich nie in die Politik.

@larsmb Das kannte ich noch nicht, mein Bruder wohnte einige Zeit zur Miete wo das feuchte Mauerwerk mit Aquapol "bekämpft" wurde. Gleiche Liga. Bitte nicht auf nüchternen Magen nachlesen, das ist massiver Schwurbel aus einer Epoche lange vor dem ewigen September.

@maz Ugh. Die schreiben zu ihrer "Technologie" sogar (immerhin?) ganz offen, dass es keine physikalische Erklärung gibt. Huh.
Sowas verfängt in einem Land der anthroposophischen Homöopathie und Schüßler Salze natürlich hervorragend und bestätigt vermutlich die Käuferschicht eher statt sie abzuschrecken 😠

10 GbE is not low latency in the storage world. Don't date yourself like that, buddy.

@larsmb What's the low latency storage connectivity du jour? IB? FC?

@larsmb@mastodon.online avatar

@buschlabor NVMeOF I guess. In this case though for cross-node replication in a data center I consider anything not 25 GbE or better (40 GbE doesn't count) to be defunc

People who, without external reasons beyond their orgs control, schedule meetings attendees have to travel long hours for for Monday before noon ("Why you can make it if you get up at 6"), has anyone correlated them being in charge with attrition?

@tongpu @larsmb 7:30pm, right?

Because 7:30am is a late dinner.

Being able to filter a luggage shopping website by dimensions and sorting by weight is clearly a completely unreasonable expectation.

Nobody ever needed this functionality.

@larsmb it's not like planes have rules about what size luggage you're allowed to bring or anything

@larsmb@mastodon.online avatar

Iceland Air has two different sizing rules for an international and a domestic carry-on, which makes perfect sense if you're an international traveller who also has to take a domestic connection at some point.

@larsmb Technically I can see how this makes sense. Different airplane types/models with different overhead compartment sizes. The main question that's sadly often not answerable before actually boarding with an airline - maybe even multiple times - is... do they care? What's the failure mode?

"When users of generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots have to ask something multiple times, in different ways, to get the answer they wanted, prompt engineering can help."

How does anyone not nuke this from orbit.
