@simonstl Really interesting discussion, thanks! Was encouraged to hear the idea that components and LLMs might work well together.

@tomchadwin I have to admit that it's been a minute since I watched either! And if I recall, there was a large section of CCBB that was unwatchable. But I'm still a huge Dick Van Dike fan.

The Oregon State University Open Source Lab ( #OSUOSL ) might be forced to shut down and terminate all services this year due to a decline in corporate donations

#OSGeo servers, among other Open Source foundation servers, are hosted in the lab's data center.

Can you think of any way to help out ?

The Internet keeps getting narrower as more nodes surrender to the big actors taking it all, let's not make it happen !

I don't believe Google could have built a search "monopoly" without having a pretty damn good idea of where you and everything in relation to you is located, but I'm perhaps alone into that view.

Operation is a metaphor, but is Chrome, or Maps the heart? ❤️

@mauve I mean in the browser UI /'chrome' itself. In browsing e.g.Chrome's language list I saw Cherokee iirc, but I didn't see e.g. Cree

@mauve I've had the notion that support for Canadian indigenous syllabic scripts built into browsers would be cool, in a way that might not be too overbearing, maybe.

@firda you are promoting a date that will suppress the vote, actually

@timbray The date of the election that person is advertising is incorrect

I clocked how long it took to allow one person to vote. It took 1:36. There were two voting booths, one for each poll. There was a line of maybe close to 100 people for each poll. Which checks out, because it took us slightly more that 1.5 hours to get in and out. Lucky we went before the rain started, as the line was 2/3 outside the poling station. I've been voting since 1978, and I think that's the longest I've ever waited. Considering the stakes I would wait longer. #vote

@AmeliasBrain you think they're oblivious for the longest time, then one day, BAM! you get breakfast in bed.

I'm still around! Hoping to get back into blogging, did a little thing that @janmaarten tagged me in 💛

@simonstl TIL

@carnage4life so don't worry about being right, just get people to listen to you.

@mmdolbow fooF8 in PowerShell is similar to ‘history|grep foo’ in bash. That's all the nerd I got
