I think the most tragic aspect of deploying "AI" in teaching and learning situations is how much it pushes people into a situation of learned helplessness. This constant feeling of not knowing how to do a thing of being incapable of actually doing work on one's tasks is mentally so harmful. How do people under those conditions gain confidence in their abilities? Like ever?

Text explains that Ubuntu 20.04 ("Focal") users will no longer receive updates, including security updates.
It states that starting with the next minor version, Cryptomator will only support Ubuntu 22.04 and above.

After nearly 4 years of perfect and reliable service, rsync.net decided to break the #backup of my multi-#container application. This application uses the rsync.net service to store its backups.

rsync.net make a command line argument mandatory, that is not available in a #Docker environment.

Luckily, there are other providers. There, you may, but are you not enforced to specify a #Borg version with the additional argument.

I so much dislike this screen. You want to turn off your VM and #Windows doesn't allow you to do so, because a fat and slow update is loaded. Despite all assurances from #Microsoft to streamline the #update process.

Updates sind im Gange.

@tony_2600 @Gradle After noticing that #Kotlin DSL is commonly preferred over Groovy, I found this:
“Kotlin DSL is now the default for new Gradle builds”.

I have to reconsider.

Was @maxschrems hier zum Thema Erpressbarkeit & Abhängigkeit durch Big Tech Made in USA sagt, ist so wahr wie besorgniserregend: sueddeutsche.de/kultur/max-sch

Süddeutsche Zeitung Wenn die USA ein Embargo verhängen, dann müssten etwa Amazon, Google oder Microsoft morgen alle Dienste in der EU abschalten. Unternehmen und Behörden könnten dann nicht mehr auf ihre Doku-mente, E-Mails oder sonstige Systeme zugreifen. Damit kann eine Wirtschaft heutzutage praktisch abgeschaltet wer-den. Das ist für die gesamte EU vielleicht nicht realistisch, aber wenn man zum Beispiel in Dänemark ist und diese sinnlose Grönland-Debatte weiter eskaliert, dann können die USA damit ein Land mit sechs Millionen Einwohnern über Nacht „abschalten". Das ist nichts, was morgen passieren wird - aber nach zwei Monaten Trump etwas, das man leider nicht mehr absolut ausschließen kann. Und das ist massiv besorgniserregend.
