Although #Teams/#Office365 *does* have some nice features for collaboration and #CorpLife, for collaborative plain text hacking it is shit.

You can share/edit Markdown files through Office365, but you cannot edit collaboratively.

On an online project meeting:

+ I first reached for Office365;
+ I tried a CodiMD instance from another project meeting, but I did not have the right credentials;
+ I tried CERNs instance, but work does not support eduGAIN!
+ So went with HackMD

I wish work would invest in self-hosting services that would help Academic Productivity but with Digital Sovereignty at heart (CodiMD, Indico, Overleaf, Mastodon, PeerTube, Overleaf (self-hosted), openDeck)

The past years have seen horrendous attacks towards trans people. We have a duty to protect the most vulnerable members of our communities.

There is no #Haskell without the trans people who have shaped it through the years.

This June is a month of celebrations, but the struggle continues. ✊🏳️‍⚧️λ

Urgh tried rewriting my stats script to do more calculations than what pgfplots does…

It’s a horrible horrible mess. Oh well…

Now with RSS and JSON feeds!

I am collecting material, sources on LLMs and vulns before and after the recent mythical moment in time.

The (searchable) list is here: https://tzafaar.codeberg.page/

Take a look and let me know if your favourite source, paper, blog post, repo is missing or directly submit pull request here:

Would appreciate retoots

A few things that Microslop could have done to make Outlook better that would have been cheaper than all of the 'AI' nonsense they've been pushing:

  • An option to automatically cancel meetings if it's a public holiday in the countries of more than N of the attendees.
  • Fix the UI for adding more than one owner to a meeting so that more people than me know it exists and more people than the empty set is able to use it.
  • Make it easy to automatically decline all meetings when you're on holiday.
  • When every attendee of a meeting except the organiser declines (especially relevant to 1:1s) flag it in the high-level UI and, for meeting series, provide an option to automatically cancel if only one person will be there.
  • Provide an option to cancel meetings if they are below quorum (N people accept).
  • Make it possible to set organisation-specific locations. Don't put your internal meeting room as the location with external participants, make it possible for two groups to have a meeting room close to them as the location.

Mmhh thought about suggesting a `MSP.sty` for common macros for PLT related LaTeX shenanigans.

More chance of the local football team’s supporters burying the hatchet and being nice to each other….

Registration is now open for this year's SPLV in Glasgow!

"GitLab Act 2" -- GitLab is restructuring. Interesting announcement, including number of "core beliefs", and a "vision of the world we're building for"

- Software will be built by machines, directed by people.
- The agentic era multiplies demand for software.
- The consequential work belongs to engineers.
