  So I guess I'm one day late, but: yesterday was the third anniversary of Time's... exquisite choice of a headline: "How Ukraine's Dam Collapse Could Become the Country's 'Chernobyl'" https://web.archive.org/web/20230611134807if_/https://time.com/6286309/ukraine-dam-collapse-ecological-catastrophe/

  @ansol@floss.social @d3@ciberlandia.pt Por acaso sabem se isto de o SAPO Mail gratuito deixar de permitir acesso por protocolos abertos de e-mail está a receber algum destaque algures? Também não ando propriamente a seguir notícias tecnológicas de .pt, se calhar simplesmente passou-me ao lado. https://mementomori.social/@njsg/116490598402784833 https://mementomori.social/@njsg/116490570341279155

  @SDF@social.sdf.org @SDF@social.sdfeu.org Any idea why SDFeu's gopher server has been down since (according to a bboard post) at least the end of March? #sdfeu #Gopher

  Ah, SAPO Mail trying hard to compete with 1998-era Hotmail in 2026 by creating a lower tier without POP or IMAP... https://ajuda.sapo.pt/sapo-mail-premium-99980 #SAPO #enshittification

  @kkarhan@infosec.space @wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe @OS1337@infosec.space IMHO ed's usefulness isn't really dependent on the kind of terminal device. I often use it with X11 terminal emulators :-)

  @ciaran@mcnulty.social @saramg@fosstodon.org It does sound unusual that they'd run ads specifically for this without some event to tie it into.

  @jgoerzen You mean now e.g. setting consoleblank=X will really just produce a black screen after X seconds? (I don't think this is related to dri and kms, at least not only that. I'd have to check but I think some of the setups of mine where the linux virtual console could trigger screen sleep with older versions were using dri and kms? I had to do a hardware change and getting this set up was one of the things I've been postponing. Maybe I should look into this soon...)

  @tante@tldr.nettime.org @glitzersachen@hachyderm.io @plup360@mastodon.social Did I miss something while reading or that article doesn't even mention the issue of ionizing radiation in computing machinery, or the possible costs of rad-hardened hardware? Might be especially relevant for something which seems to require massive computing power and which deals with massive amounts of data.

  @inthehands@hachyderm.io A challenge is when will news outlets finally stop just boasting "de-escalating" every time ICE or other Trump administration officials say it, and start using the word only when there's something tangible, verifiable, true. But if I earned a dollar (adjust for inflation) by every time a news outlet got away with misinformation or misreporting because they were using the words which were originally said by some lying party... well, I'd be in a differen...

  @paulasimoes@ciberlandia.pt Entretanto, numa situação que ainda tenho de perceber melhor, agora há comboios na Linha do Vouga a ficarem parados porque "já não existem no mercado" equipamentos que a CP não tem em número suficiente para o regime de exploração usado na Linha. Estas coisas põem-me sempre a perguntar-me se o principal entrave não será mesmo o desleixo de permitir tecnologia proprietária (se bem que desconheço por completo se é esse o caso do equipamento para o SISE). htt...

  @s1m0n4@ohai.social @akiran_n@onlyfranz.com I thought Maestro just worked over Mastercard's network, as did Visa Electron work over Visa's. Other than transactions themselves being handled on-line rather than off-line, is there much of a difference between Electron and other cards from Visa? #EMV

  @wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe *sigh* the days when adding "m." before a hostname would load a better and more compatible version of a site... Now that was a nicer era.
