Barcelona Airport has a cute little airplane museum that’s free and open for just a couple of hours on weekends.
There’s even a replica of the Soviet I-15, which the Republic received from the USSR during the Civil War to fight the fascists.

Important post from @nprofile…c3vf why new Android apps rules is so bad.

There’s a new term for our new reality:
‘echoborg’ шы someone who just parrots a LLM like ChatGPT.
You know, the ‘Grok, is this true?!’ crowd

Nano Stores just got 1M downloads monthly.
Honestly, it is mostly because Astro is recommending us as default state manager for them. Thanks a lot.

Первая была очень интересной — я даже её пересказ делал.

@nprofile…xq7g I agree that for one isolated man it could be a red-flag.
But the general message on screenshot looks like a victim-blaming of real social (not one person) problem with more reasons (not just “men don’t have female friends”).
At least in Russian school and childhood I remember many ways how society tried to damage my ability to create a strong social bonds (I am lucky that I avoided this damage).

The @nprofile…tze9 website now has pages with each Martian's open source projects, articles and talks.
Here’s my page, for example:

“When it comes to male suicide is the problem 'men not talking', or is it society not listening to what men are already telling them?“
The podcast about why our society still keeps male gender role problems invisible.

Сейчас есть много систем аналитики, которые не требуют GDPR-попапа — Plausible, PostHog, Matomo, umami.
Между сайтом с GDPR попапом и без я выберу без, потому что такой попап — явно манипуляция мной, чтобы я скорее нажал Да (ещё и отказ часто глубоко прячут).

2024-08-31 16:02:27 GMT

При этом самый большой попап у них просто потому что они не хотят прекратить следить за пользователями.
Если убрать слежку, то GDPR-попап не нужен для чтения статьи.

Why GDPR-compliant analytics is better than Google Analytics:
1. JS weighs 100 times less.
2. Not blocked by browsers, so you have complete data.
3. You don’t need a GDPR popup
4. You have uniform data across all users, not just those who clicked "Yes" in the GDPR popup

Remember the meme about China’s social ranking?
According to rumors, Israel has its own rating—the AI gives each Palestinian a rating of the probability of participation in Hamas. And then based on the rating, people are put on an extermination list.

Bangle.js 2 is an open source smartwatch.
Great for:
— Pebble lovers
— If you have few requirements for a smartwatch, but want to not be like everyone else in a punk way
— If you need a platform for some DIY experiments

ESM war is over.
In Node.js 22 you can just require() ESM libs.
