Comprar LA ATALAYA RECORTADA CONTRA EL CIELO (editorial Libros del Futuro)
Sinopsis:
Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.
Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

Introducing a new object type means a new UI means a new interpretation. Necessary? Not at all. But practically, pushing people to add a new code path sometimes requires a new case for their switch statement.
English has two different terms for words that come into English from other languages. A 'calque' is translated from the source language. (E.g., flea market, beer garden, paper tiger) A 'loanword' is ported in its original form. (E.g., cafe, bazaar, kindergarten) Perhaps ironically, the word 'calque' is a loanword, while 'loanword' is a calque (from Ger. 'lehnwort').

Ok, to install [and build] git-tiny, you need Ruby, tcl, Python, ipython, cython, Lua, Perl, mercurial. gcc (despite clang being part of the system), redis, subversion, and w3m.
A total of 604 ports.
This is f'ing insane for a "tiny" port. (yes, a majority of it is build tools that aren't needed at runtime, but still it shows how bloating modern software packages are.
IMHO, the real concern isn't the technology itself, but the economic pressures from the investor class and capitalism.

@mjgardner @icing actually, being liberal in accepting things is not a good idea either. If it violates the protocol, eject, close, kill, abort. At once. That leads to better code and protocols in the longer run.
@petealexharris @cstross It's true. A running joke amongst my peers is that any AI news headline can replace "AI" with "capitalism" and remain 100% true.

that's the root of it, a lot of ways. as a class, we are not honest persons. we're grifters and cheaters and scabs, almost definitionally. our stock in trade is the betrayal of labor, the extraction of surplus value from angles on automation, or often more honestly from ideas that assholes with money have about how surplus value will be extracted, or whatever.
and then we get scammed so hard because we think we're doin' the scams.
i was thinking about stuff like big web APIs for social media sites going paywalled (or just breaking because of mismanagement by jackass oligarchs), and i was like i wonder if this will teach programmers a lesson - some kind of "gosh, maybe protocols were good after all" moment.
and then immediately: of course it won't. programmers are eternally looking to get scammed.
and then i thought: "you can't cheat an honest man."
"(W)hat we are witnessing is the wealthiest companies in history (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon …) unilaterally seizing the sum total of human knowledge that exists in digital, scrapable form and walling it off inside proprietary products, many of which will take direct aim at the humans whose lifetime of labor trained the machines without giving permission or consent."

“People who criticize new technologies are sometimes called Luddites, but it’s helpful to clarify what the Luddites actually wanted. The main thing they were protesting was the fact that their wages were falling at the same time that factory owners’ profits were increasing, along with food prices. They were also protesting unsafe working conditions, the use of child labor, and the sale of shoddy goods that discredited the entire textile industry. The Luddites did not indiscriminately destroy machines; if a machine’s owner paid his workers well, they left it alone. The Luddites were not anti-technology; what they wanted was economic justice. They destroyed machinery as a way to get factory owners’ attention. The fact that the word #Luddite is now used as an insult, a way of calling someone irrational and ignorant, is a result of a smear campaign by the forces of capital.”

In the #ActivityPub protocol, it's called 'Announce'.
In the #Mastodon web interface (and here in #snac too), it's called 'boost'.
In the Mastodon API, it's called 'reblog'.
Mastodon users say, informally, 'retoot'.
In the #Pleroma web interface (AFAIK), it's called 'repeat'.
In #honk it's called 'bonk' (because, why not).
Outside there, in other crappy social networks, Facebook names the action 'share' (IIRC), Twitter users names it 'retweet'. I don't know about others, but they probably use a different verb.

For anyone who wants to try out time-limited sessions, pam-session-timelimit is now in Debian unstable and Ubuntu lunar:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/pam-session-timelimit
I've also finished a patch to make pam_time integrate with pam_systemd, which after 20+ years makes it possible for pam_time to enforce the end of sessions and not just their start times:
Started Mastodon API support, so you can use Mastodon-compatible apps to access #snac accounts. What works so far: login, private and public timelines, full post information (replies and ancestors), liking and boosting posts. Things that don't work yet but eventually will: following accounts, posting and replying to messages (I still have to figure out how some things work, like posting images), notifications (needs some internal support), the instance timeline (snac does not have one, but it can be simulated with not much effort) and probably many other things. Things that will never work: bookmarks, pinning, a federated timeline, many other things that I don't remember right now. Please note that if you want to use this API in your instance, you must add some lines to your HTTP proxy configuration, see the snac(8) (administrator documentation) manual page. I'm doing my tests using the #Tusky (which sometimes crashes, surely my fault), #AndStatus, #Fedilab and #Husky Android apps. Success or failure reports will be appreciated.
Fixed some buffer overflows (contributed by Saagar Jha).
Fixed overzealous rejection of some local boosts.
Thanks again to the great people that makes this unique piece of software possible.

It's expensive to be poor. It's ironic but true. You get charges and fees for everything. Higher interest rates. Overdraft fees. Late fees. Having only enough to buy what you need right now instead of buying in bulk. Losing your job because you can't afford to get your car fixed. Losing your car because you don't have a job. Even your mental faculties are drained, as you are forced to continually eat low-nutrition foods, "sleep" in miserable conditions, and be exposed to toxins and lack of medical treatment. The lack of liquidity wipes you out. Life really does kick you while you're down.
You can't tell someone trapped in that vicious cycle to "just" get a job or "just" make responsible decisions. Sometimes, no amount of good decision-making can stop the vortex sucking them down. So the next time you are tempted to place moral judgment on someone who lives in poverty, think twice.

@miah I think one of the many things I dig about @grunfink 's snac is this: "No database needed" ;)
I also sincerely appreciate the "Totally JavaScript-free" aspect too!
The entire compiled implementation on macOS for version 2.24? 230737 bytes (approx 231KiB). Also has minimal dependencies, the biggest challenge with maintaining the MacPort so far has been due to my own ineptitude with MacPorts, not snac's code.
I wish more followed grunfink's excellent example on contemporary software dev.

So let me get this straight, in order to view a website in 2023 I need to 1.) dismiss the GDPR dialog, 2.) dismiss the "login with google" dialog, 3.) dismiss the "download our app" dialog, and 4.) finally after some period of 0-30 seconds dismiss a "sign up for our email list" dialog. Cool. 😑
Estoy interesado en tu pisoEsto ha ocurrido antes. Si no haces nada, entienden que el piso está vacío, así que entran por la noche, arrasan con todo y matan a todo el mundo que está dentro. Si contactas y dices que no estás interesado, lo entienden como una provocación, y entonces entran por la noche, arrasan con todo y matan a todo el mundo que está dentro. Si les dices que quieres negociar, te sueltan un montón de buenas palabras para tranquilizarte pero después entran por la noche, arrasan con todo y matan a todo el mundo que está dentro.
