TIL that the purported skull of Mary Magdalene is enshrined in a gold reliquary in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, in France, and that reliquary is _the_ most Warhammer-40k-looking real thing I have ever seen in my life, bar none.

the EU being able to read my Matrix E2EE messages would be outlandish. i can't even read my Matrix E2EE messages

When looking at search results, I feel a resistance to click through to Medium posts. Do others feel similarly?

I was wondering earlier if I was just being a snob, but then visited one and had to close three popups out of the bat. Reassurance that it's not (just) snobbery.

Last night, after watching , I wasn’t able to get out of iPlayer. The remote wasn’t having any of it. Out of batteries or something...

Eventually I remembered I had been watching it on actual BBC1 😅

The first book of the Bible is called Mega Drive in Europe, it's only Genesis in the US.

It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about #Windows Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.

It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.

It's inescapable.

It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

It won't matter if you're a master #security expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.

If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.

I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."

Argh, ... 😭

This is when I'm trying to add a descriptive :

> We aren't able to accept every possible character in Alt text. All Unicode letters and numbers are OK, but these are the only acceptable symbols: , ' . - _ ( ).

( shows a variant of this).

Tontería random: se me ha ocurrido ahora que la traducción perfecta de "sarao" al inglés es "shindig". He mirado definiciones un poco y me parecen dar la razón.

The fun thing about Microsoft's new "Recall" product is that it's one of those projects that I've thought would be very cool for years, but ruled out ever building because it's impossible to adequately keep the right kind of information secret and be sure of it. Even if it's "just running locally". But here we are now, apparently.

Be careful if you try Heroku Router 2.0. We gave it a try, and it was a disaster. Couldn't revert it, had to completely rebuild our production app.

Hey folks!

I'm passionate about Python, open source & making a living with open source. What's the next move?

Thank you @willmcgugan for the nudge ❤️

Comparto una de esas cosas que hacía de niño, cuando no tenía dinero para comprar un Amstrad o Atari pero tenía muchas ganas de jugar con videojuegos. Tantas, tantas que con 9 o 10 años me inventaba mis propios videojuegos hechos con papel y cartón pintados. Os dejo una reproducción de aquellas "Juego-cajas", que rápidamente se pusieron de moda entre los amigos del barrio y donde cada uno dibujaba sus propias "aventuras". Además ganaba pasta! 😅

Perspective: the biggest carbon capture plant in the world sequesters 1 millionth of our annual emissions. We would have to build a million of these plants to _not_increase_ the CO2 level. And we need to significantly _decrease_ the CO2 level.

Carbon capture is a scam.
