Your electric bill will be higher this month compared to this time last year, my provider warns. Consider being colder and letting no other human enter your home, it helpfully suggests.
Zum letzten Post @cducsubt selbst wenn ihr es nicht glaubt, aber es gibt Menschen die halten das für genial. Das zeigt eigentlich nur wie die @csu eine Partei der #Steinzeit ist.
Incarcerated in Illinois, Michael Broadway died from asthma on a scorching day last year. A prison nurse refused to climb the stairs to his cell, saying, “It’s too hot. I’m not going up there,” an affidavit reveals.
This year, Illinois again picked Wexford Health Services for prison health care despite longstanding claims of neglect. A judge has since extended court monitoring of prisons.
Is an example of some of the crap we have to go through to keep providing commercial, free, listener supported radio. How long is a time consuming, but it will cost us a lot of money in legal and accounting fees.
as promised we have released a new version of #flohmarkt ten minutes ago. We're 50 minutes early :)
It's 0.14.0
I think it's our biggest release since 0.2.0 and we thank @nlnet and @NGIZero for making this possible.
As spoilered, the most important changes are Support for multiple authentication backends (username/password, ldap, fediauth) and an overhaul of the geographic concept behind flohmarkt.
I've been working on some explainers about Classical Chinese... nothing ready for public consumption, but I am SUPER pleased with the CSS I whipped up for note callouts (these are using a stickynote clipart from irasutoya)
CSS selectors can do a lot of stuff these days that they couldn't when I first learned 20 years ago...

Major News: UNC System to Require Public Posting of Faculty Syllabi
UNC System to Require Public Posting of Faculty Syllabi
The University of North Carolina System is moving toward a policy that will make all faculty course syllabi publicly accessible online. The effort is framed by UNC leadership as a transparency measure, but it has drawn strong reactions from faculty and commentators concerned about academic freedom and intellectual property. Editor’s Note: This matters. Erasing DEI is “their” goal, not UNC’s goal, nor should it be. The following coverage reflects the broad media response over the past several days. Sources from Google News. Please review and comment please.

At UNC, Professors Must Soon Post Syllabi Publicly Inside Higher Ed — Yesterday A new policy initiative from the UNC System President will formally classify faculty syllabi as public records, requiring instructors to make course syllabi publicly available. The proposal follows a period of internal disagreement about whether syllabi should be considered open records under state law and reflects broader debates about transparency and academic governance.

UNC President: All course syllabi will be made public to promote transparency amid scrutiny — Raleigh News & Observer, December 11 (Opinion from system leadership confirming policy direction) News & Observer
The UNC system president cited low trust in higher education as justification for the new policy, which echoes rules in Florida and Texas. Faculty are fighting the decision.
There used to be a very ugly slate patio where this boulder is now exposed. I removed the patio and uncovered this massive boulder slightly raised against the
I hope this proves something more than just theatrics to attract VC investors so the creators can enjoy an instant payday for their discovery (only to later sell-out to the highest bidder for yet another payday).
I share your hope & additionally hope that the technology is not bought by vested interests & quietly buried so it does not compete with current refrigeration technology!
I've routinely read articles like that about a wide range of technologies over the past 20 years, and not one of them has ever made it to market that I can recall.
So I continue to read them as I lob the entire bottle of salt over my shoulder. "Sorry, kitty!"
Sometimes that "progress" isn't a progression at all, though. Witness my lamentations yesterday about the evil of the designed-in obsolescence of all Flash media. After my most recent NVMe purchase I'm never buying one again. I'm sick of being exploited.
Summary: A major brick-and-mortar store sold an Apple Gift Card that Apple seemingly took offence to, and locked out my entire Apple ID, effectively bricking my devices and my iCloud Account, Apple Developer ID, and everything associated with it, and…
That’s truly scary - but as the piece says Apple fans have a lot invested in the culture. Cutting the cord is neither cheap or easy.
But I do take your warning seriously. I also suspect that if one has invested in any paid service there is a similar risk. One of the reasons that anything private is not in the cloud & there are local copies of photos etc.
I wonder if this could not be argued to be a breech of contract by Apple - I once had the mother & father of rows with the manager of our local Apple Store over the repairs done to the predecessor of my MBP. The upshot was a brand new, fully specced MBP for free. It took 3 months & multiple visits & calls to support to achieve this but perseverance paid off.
I’m not a legal expert nor a consumer rights expert but sometimes it a course worth exploring.
as promised we have released a new version of #flohmarkt ten minutes ago. We're 50 minutes early :)
