—
National Park Service staff have received talking points ordering them to describe layoffs as “workforce management actions” and to reassure visitors that changes resulting from the cuts won’t impede “memorable and meaningful experiences for all.”

Anyone have any meaningful additional detail on this? It's widely enough reported that it seems to be real, but it does not make any particular sense and the implications are profound.

Signal no longer cooperating with Ukraine on Russian cyberthreats, official says
The encrypted messaging app Signal has stopped responding to requests from Ukrainian law enforcement regarding Russian cyberthreats, a Ukrainian official claimed, warning that the shift is aiding Moscow’s intelligence efforts.therecord.media

@Mer__edith
We are grateful for this affirmation. Hopefully, there are not bad actors trying to block Signal from being used in Ukraine or anywhere else.
The publishers of the article should issue a retraction.

From @pluralistic : Every time you hear "AI-assisted programmer," you should substitute "programmer-assisted AI."
In other words, who serves who? LLMs are really (really) far from being able to replace developers (or any knowledge-based professional). But they're more than ready to make everybody perform on the same mediocre level on the worst conditions imaginable.
Its the same as Amazon does to warehouse workers with all the "support" tech that is forced onto them.

"We’ve averted our eyes from the atrocity show
It’s better to beat up on the devil that you know
Say the charming men in uniform
Give praise to the empty heaven above
I reject the sword and embrace the dove
I see the world suffused with love
And the charming men in uniform"

@mcSlibinas Looks very 90s! Which weather model do they use?
I check ECMWF and GFS, which for our location often vary greatly. ECMWF underestimates the wind speeds on our hill, which GFS despite large cells gets right. Temperatures we will see tomorrow night! 😀
Why are #SAP #BTP trial accounts still expiring after 90 days? Genius move if the goal is to frustrate users.
My master’s students will see their semester's work disappear within the next two weeks—right before the examination phase. And that’s after they already rebuilt everything in the Integration Suite because that trial lasts only 30 days. My guess? They won’t be choosing SAP tools for their next projects. (1/2)

Empathielosigkeit könnte übrigens die Folge einer Covid-Infektion sein: "A nightmare scenario would be if mankind were targeted by a pathogen that attacks our frontal lobes and changes our personalities, making us less likely to get along, reach a consensus, and understand others' points of view. Such a pathogen could bring an end to society as we know it. Unfortunately, the nightmare may be real and taking shape in SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19."

In der Union wachsen Zweifel an Friedrich Merz
CDU-Chef Merz: Welche Autorität hätte er noch, wenn er als schon vorab Gescheiterter ins Kanzleramt einziehen würde?
Allein bei den Grünen sind es 46 Abgeordnete, die dem neuen Bundestag nicht mehr angehören. Bei der SPD sind es 95, bei der Union 48. Wie soll die Fraktionsführung sie jetzt noch unter Druck setzen? Sie mit einem Posten locken? In den letzten Wochen ihrer Abgeordnetenzeit sind sie so frei und unabhängig wie noch nie. Für Merz ist das ein Riesenproblem.
Tatsächliche Demokratie und Gewissensentscheidung: Für Merz ist das ein Riesenproblem.
Wie Merz, sollte er es ins Kanzleramt schaffen, auf dem internationalen Parkett bestehen wird. Putin und Trump bestrafen Fehler anders als Dröge und Haßelmann. Vielen in der Union ist das bewusst, sie sind besorgt.
