Mastodawn

At this point, if I see 'ai' "art" on a preview or a story header, I'm not reading the story or watching the video.

If the producer thinks that such schlock is an acceptable representation for their brand, then I want nothing to do with them.

@mcc Octal is usually prepended by just a zero, without any letters, so 0453 is 299 and 0999 is usually an error.

"Transhumanism is second nature to us mastodon users, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows about dollposting and one or two dragon therians." "And a bunch of furries, of course." "Of course."

Love this new sign on the Clyde Walkway, but it definitely falls into the Keep Glasgow Weird category. It's one of a number of signs inspired by Science Fiction movies around the city's Science Centre created by A Sign of Humour.

The attempts by law enforcement & governments to subvert end-to-end encryption are ongoing. The European Commission is going to spend a year thinking about their new "Roadmap for law enforcement access to data", and they are (genuinely) asking for people to join their expert group to help. Here I urge you to join that group (also because I can't): https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/possible-end-to-end-to-end-come-help/

Possible End to End to End Encryption: Come Help - Bert Hubert's writings

tl;dr: The European Commission is honestly asking for experts to advise them on ways to institute “effective and lawful access to data for law enforcement”. If you are an expert, I urge you to apply to join this group. You have until September 1st. Do read on for more details! The never-ending battle where police and intelligence services demand more/total access to communications shows no sign of stopping, even in the face of mathematical and practical impossibilities.

@eniko I struggled to remember exactly how each of these worked until someone told me that I should read it from right to left.

i.e.
`const char*` is a pointer to a char constant. So the thing being pointed to is const.
And `char * const` is a constant pointer to a char. So the pointer itself is const.
