Concerned about Microsoft Windows 11 Recall? You should be.

Recall allows Microsoft’s Windows 11 Copilot+ devices to screenshot every action a person takes on their PC.

What can you do? Switching to Linux is the clear answer, but some don't know what distro to try.

DistroSea.com is a website that lets you run and test 60+ Linux distributions straight from your web browser.

Have fun!

Isn't that exactly what recall was intended for? So someone would never lose a detail? I don't know what your desktop looks like, but if it's anything like mine being able to use a vocal search to find some half remembered reference or what I did with the document or program or webpage or downloaded picture is pretty fucking useful, especially as I grow older.

“an easy way to access information about your PC's activity snapshots...” is how this is branded.

However, it will be used to capture screenshots of emails or messages you may have deleted, as well as messages that disappear on platforms like Signal. Banking information, passwords, and medical records put on the screen will be recorded.

The feature that stores data in a database is done in plain text, attackers can use malware to extract the database and its contents.

Python 4.00 Introduces the Revolutionary as_if Statement! The Python team has just announced the as_if statement, a groundbreaking new control structure that never executes but allows developers to finally write the code they wish could run. if code_compiles () : deploy_to_staging() elif tests_pass() : deploy_to_prod() as_if nothing_breaks_in_production(): enjoy_weekend() Unlike traditional control structures, as_ if is purely aspirational, existing only to remind developers of how things should have been, rather than how they actually are. Experts predict this will dramatically boost developer happiness while changing absolutely nothing about how software actually functions.

Isn't this just an extension of a previous Python feature? Wasn't there one which said something like "we *still* don't do type safety, but we'll let you write some code to pretend that you're being type safe"?

@TimWardCam Um. Compile time checks with gradual typing? Is that what you're getting at? This feels like a holy way and I probably shouldn't, but... That's a pretty common & productive stance. Just the same as Typescript. Or Clojure! Even C# is doing it these days. Am I missing the point?

@tartley Yeah, it's holy war stuff. I personally prefer compile time strong typing.

(Within limits that is. Not as strong as Algol68C, which was so pedantic that it was almost impossible to write code that compiled. But that did have the advantage that if you ever managed to wrestle your code through the compiler it probably didn't have any bugs left in it.)

@TimWardCam I see, thanks for helping me understand. I spent fifteen years "progressing" through C, C++ and C#, so I think I know what you mean about the warm glow of a perfectly typed program (do I?), but nowadays I look back on those with dread, compared to sprinkling some judicious types on the external API of a Python program. I'm a big TDD fan, which probably puts a thumb on the scales - I'm relying on that for some of the things types would do for me.

@tartley I may or may not have the correct terminology, but what I like is having the compiler tell me there's a type error rather than wait until, months later on the other side of the world, it fails in production.

(removing devopscats). Right, I get that. I find that quite rare, but of course you are right, it does happen, and no doubt I've internalized and don't notice the cost of the techniques I've accumulated to minimize it. Peace!

Review: The Word for World is Forest

The Word for World is Forest is a science-fiction novel by Ursula Le Guin, although the science-fiction elements are very much just window-dressing. This story is very much an analogue for the US’ involvement in the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, the story has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Right from the first chapter, Le Guin makes her opposition to the war evident.

At the ripe age of 42 I finally buckled and got myself a car. It was secondhand, fuel-efficient and I had to swear off ever flying again and start eating more vegan to, at least somewhat quieten my coal-black carbon conscience.
But boy, my world opened up when I did not have to rely on public transportation to go on adventures.
The first stop was the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tøndermarsk in Denmark.
Dykes, sluices, and pumping stations compete against the tides. The resulting marshes and wetlands attract millions of migratory and indigenous birds and provide breeding and feeding grounds for a variety of birds.

Question - from a new user

Ello folks! I've recently joined the Friendica universe, and I'm still figuring out how it all works.

I've followed my other Fedi accounts with this one, so that I can boost things on here

But... Not all the posts/toots are visible. When I check the updates of my friends, where my own profiles are in, it shows some of my other posts. When I load the profile time-line of the account, it shows some of the posts.

Any reason why it doesn't show all the latest ones? Is it a setting that I need to change?

Thanks in advance for your help! 🌹
