French bicycling lane advocate appears to have been murdered, deliberately, by a driver. BBC: He dreamed of a cycling revolution. Then an SUV crushed him "...According to witnesses and CCTV, the driver of the SUV began driving in the bike lane. Prosecutors say the driver ran over Paul's foot […]

I just did my civic duty and voted in the German federal #elections . The whole process - including waiting in line - took about 2 minutes. The horror stories from the USA that people in some voting districts have to wait in line for many hours only make sense if you accept that the goal is […]

It is very hard to accept, but it is no longer safe to move EU governments & societies to US clouds. Not only is it dangerous to do so, it is also likely flat out illegal in the near feature. We're trading convenience for utter dependence on a mad king. It should stop […]

Several conservatives are pushing efforts to overturn the Supreme Court ruling that enshrines same-sex marriage in the United States, with conservative Christian lawyer Mat Staver declaring, "It's not an if, it's just a matter of when." #USPolitics #LGBTQIA #TrumpAdministration #GayRights […]

Please can all socialist parties print this at the top of all their flyers and keep repeating until people understand Red tape is a good thing Red tape stops you swimming in shit at the beach Red tape stops your house falling down and killing you while you sleep Red tape stops people driving […]

“We used to be the good guys” Former CIA Intelligence Officer warns the US is trying to extort Ukriane — robbing it of the wealth Ukraine needs for reboulding the country. “We should be thanking Ukraine”, Marc Polymeropoulus says: https://youtu.be/tEEr49RrmM4

”One of the big differences in the European and the US context is that the European framework is one of the precautionary principle, it has to be proven safe, whereas in the US we work on a proof of harm model. It’s much more generous towards industry. That shaped the trajectory of GMOs. We’ll […]

The question I wish all Americans were educated & thoughtful enough to ask is: Among Trump's close influencers, who benefits from dismantling the brain trust and infrastructure of what has been for generations the foremost global superpower? This looks like chaos but is not. This is the […]

Révélations de l’ONG Global Witness: en amont des élections allemandes dimanche, 64% du contenu politique recommandé par l'algorithme sur X est lié à l'AFD. Sur TikTok, c'est 78%. C'est monstrueux […]

We now see the wisdom of Europe having its own satellite positioning system as well as an independent launch capability. #Galileo #Ariane6

Does anyone out there on the fediverse happen to know how I could embed Sparkle in a #macOS #Python application using #PyObjC and paackaged with #Py2App ? I gather that the --frameworks option is involved, but … is it just as simple as downloading the bundle from […]

I'm really interested in the type of AI algorithm that's used by old-fashioned (non-machine-learning) chess AI. I know on a very high level how they work, but I want to understand better how moves are selected, what are the heuristics on how likely a particular strategy is to be a winning […]

The NIH funding cuts are leading to decreases in PhD. training spots. Those who can do the math, will surely have realized by now that the impending Medicare cuts will lead to a massive reduction in the postgraduate residency spots funded by the Feds. Ask me what comes next

Don’t bet on carbon dioxide removal at all! https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/02/21/eu-must-not-slow-climate-action-on-hopes-of-future-carbon-removals-top-climate-advisor-war

The Joint Chiefs don't change with a new president. Supposed to be impartial, nonpartisan. Until now. Trump fired the Chair, Gen. Charles Brown (because he's Black), Navy chief Lisa Franchetti (for being a woman), and the 3 top Army, Navy, and Air Force lawyers (because they say follow the law).

Reminder for those using the iOS Patreon app to support their creators: Apple is now taking a 30% cut for new donations through the app, plus whatever Patreon takes. Consider alternate donation methods (including direct to the Patreon website rather than the Apple mobile app). I’ve found, btw […]

Word on the curb is it was a terrible match day for clinical psychology PhD students in that around 85% of federal sites had to cancel their internships at the last minute. I'm not sure what proportion of internship sites are federal, but a fuck ton are VAs, so... Ripple effects.

Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgj54eq4vejo À la demande du gouvernement UK, #Apple supprime son système de chiffrement et laisse ses utilisateurs sans protection. Lamentable. #LogicielsLibres #Linux

Hackaday - It seems that in lieu of being provided with proper (encrypted) radio systems, Russian forces fighting Ukraine are using US military satellites for communication. https://hackaday.com/2025/02/19/the-us-militarys-unsecured-ufo-satellites-and-their-use-by-russia/

Once again someone (or in this case more than one person) is asking if we can pare back the chemical inventory for two reasons 1. The location might have a problem with it only being a single control zone for that floor (other floors in that building have two). Anything I buy in bulk is […]

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

Had a blast talking to young teens at one of the local Boys & Girls Club houses about #science Took along my microwave as I'm wont to for demos etc. Was meant to be an hour but ending being nearly 2. They really really really wanted me to blow something up […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

I’m willing to change it if

Firing America’s senior military leadership overnight and replacing them with party loyalists is definitely dictatorship stuff, if anyone is under a rock right now.

German newsmagazine Der Spiegel reported that the Max Planck Society —one of the world’s top scientific research institutions —is experiencing an uptick in applications from American scientists. Its president said the society regards the U.S. as “a new talent pool” at a time when the Trump […]
