Der 2. April sollte als internationaler Testtag für Richtigstellungen in der Presse gelten.
So wie man in der IT Rücksicherungen testet oder Feuermeldeanlagen getestet werden.
In Folge des 1. April wäre es doch perfekt die korrekte Form und Veröffentlichung von Richtigstellungen zu üben. Auch damit Leser wissen, wie sowas aussieht, sollte es sonst Mal vorkommen.

1st April in France is known as "Poisson d'Avril" or April Fish 🐟

The traditional prank is to stick a cutout paper fish onto someone's back without them noticing.

There are also CHOCOLATE FISH to buy/gift to kids like Easter eggs.

Today, March 32nd, Greendale Community College officially bans April Fools' Day (Community, s01e20, 2010)

#TV #Television #Community #March32 #April1 #AprilFoolsDay

A bald man standing in front of a classroom, speaking to the class. There's Spanish writing on the chalkboard behind him, and a bored-looking man sits at a desk. The bald man is saying, "April Fools' Day is banished, okay?"The bald man looks to the side as he raises his fingers to emphasize a point. Behind him, the board reads "1 Abril". He's saying, "April 1st is officially—"The bald man continues, still pointing emphatically in front of a chalkboard. He says, "March 32nd forever."

Folks, I've done it again: revolutionizing the tabletop roleplaying game with my new release today, FISHING IN THE SPEAKING LANDS.

You know how every MMO and CRPG has a fishing minigame?

You know how no TTRPG has a fishing minigame?

Well I've fixed that problem for you, for us, for everybody.

Fishing in the Speaking Lands is a fishing minigame that you can bolt on to any Cortex game you like!

And it's free all this week: itch.io/s/150344/fishing-in-th

#KeystoneFantasy #TTRPG #RPG #Fishing #April1

The cover of Fishing in the Speaking Lands, alongside a pile of dice.  The caption reads "37+ Fish SFX for Cortex"

Throughout this morning, I've been sporadically lolling at the april fools release 'Iltasoitto' by finnish composer maestro Aleksi Eeben. The album serves a mixed bag of sarcastic and hilarious takes on generative AI music.

Soft prog rock tune about various types of balloons? ✅
15-minute take on Rick-rolling? ✅
Song about how awesome tofu is, pulled of as hilariously AI cringe as it gets? ✅

Album is only available for sale today (afaik) so if you want a copy, grab it real quick.

Security tips of the day:

  • logs only need to be stored 3 days, that's enough to cover a weekend

  • if you don't store backups, you also don't need to restore them

  • having less internal defenses decreases how long an attack takes, so you're back online faster

  • domain-join everything (especially firewalls and backups) to decrease dwell time of attackers

  • antivirus logs should never be monitored to reduce workload of analysts

  • never publish vulnerabilities: if no one knows about them, no one can exploit them ever.

Here is something less funny on this #april1 that sounds like a joke, but isn't:
I want to use a certain big data set and asked the first author of the paper presenting it where some parameters used come from, after the reference they claimed they used didn't show these values. The answer below is what I got and I found it quite puzzling.
The params used are reasonable values, but how much can I trust that data now?

#April1 funktioniert irgendwie ja auch nicht mehr. Wenn eine Zeitung oder Nachrichtenseite heute etwas schreiben würde wie " #Trump erklärt seinen Geburtstag zum höchsten Feiertag der ganzen Welt - Droht Ländern die sich weigern mitzuziehen mit Zöllen" oder " #Taliban empört über Urteil gegen #lepen - Bekunden ihre Solidarität" oder " #Putin verkündet: Sonne und Mond gehören rechtmässig zu #Russland " würde ich mir "Ja, sowas kommt halt vor" denken.
