I wonder if I should move to my own instance...
Finally done bringing @Aurawra up to date with the twitter, totally didn't forget to do that....
I'm not attending, but wanted to say I'm very impressed by how seriously North Bay Python ( @[email protected] ) is taking COVID. They're even monitoring CO₂ levels throughout their conference venue and posting the values. 500-550 ppm--the range the linked post says they're seeing--is barely higher than outside, which averages around 450 ppm most places, and at that level you'd probably be safe without a mask on (though I'd recommend always wearing a good-fitting N95 mask indoors with other people, personally, and if everyone went without a mask the COVID risk would increase even with such good air quality). It means the air is circulating well, which clears the air of virus.

They're showing how's it done, and it's not too onerous (at least, they're making it look easy). Every conference should be doing this kind of thing if they care about their attendees.

Attached: 1 image Fresh air once again! Yesterday the peak CO2 was 550ppm on the stage sensor when somebody was setting up their laptop. Excluding that, we never crossed 500! We continue gathering data to better understand the venue, inform attendees, and continue dialing in our approach to indoor air quality: today we've moved a sensor from the green room to audience right, which we suspect might be a relative hotspot. #NBPy #HealthAndSafety #IAQ

I've seen more than a few folks on my Mastodon timeline express enthusiasm about Glaze, a system whose goal is to protect artists against style mimicry by generative models.

If you're using this work, or otherwise have heard of it and thought "wow this is neat I'm happy people are doing it", I strongly recommend you read this blog post by security & privacy researchers Nicholas Carlini & Florian Tramèr about evaluating Glaze's claims: https://spylab.ai/blog/glaze/

Seconds after posting this, it finished at 16.4gb, and uhhh............

So I just discovered that pycharm has a really cool feature where you can PRINT OUT THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF A FOLDER, so I decided to do the logical thing at point it at my .venv folder for avali.zone (printing to a file of course).

I currently have a 15gb postscript file on my desktop, it's still growing... Please help.

Highly considering switching to Kagi, has anyone else here used it? Curious about reasons for and against it
@mia I find this idea extremely funny, after brain surgery the patient awakens and starts meowing, the surgeon thinks they majorly fucked up for a few minutes until the patient starts talking againt and just says they tend to meow when there high

Just found out that Nico Nico Video is down…

Looks like there was some major data leak?
