"The attorneys for the states say Meta designed Facebook and Instagram to hook young users and to keep them on site longer thanks to features such as infinite scrolling and the "like" button."

I hope the case is not dismissed because it's not the infinite scrolling or the like button the major drivers in addiction but the algorithm.

Edit: this is an #OSRM service that is not using the new routing yet. Will update when it does.

Hi @jonathanhogg I'm watching your EMF talk https://media.ccc.de/v/emf2026-280-1-i-make-things-in-schools-you-can-too#t=1280 I find it great because I'm learning things I can use as a parent. At this point you're mentioning a [something] pen which I can't figure out what it is, can you clarify?

Want to make a trip from Marseille to Granada by #train, what site should I use? I guess I could make a stop in Barcelona...

#TrainTravel

PS: if it was intra France only, @12train would be the obvious answer :)

#photography question: In theory, if I take a picture with my camera directly to the sun, it could damage the sensor. Let's say with a 18mm on an DSRL, so really 27mm for a 35mm equivalence.

Now assume I can zoom to 200/300mm. As I understand it, I'm actually spreading the Sun's image on a larger area, so it should damage the sensor less (not saying no damage at all), right?

And of course, one mostly takes pics of the Sun on sunrise/sunset, so the atmosphere takes most of the hit.

"The idea that the European Union and Commission are a bunch of dumb, illiterate bureaucrats imposing impossible, unworkable, unrealistic demands on [...] technology companies is a bunch of propaganda paid for by these very same companies, [...] the Digital Markets Act further confirms this by having strong technological underpinnings and being based on the actual workings of the technologies they cover. The EU does a lot of dumb things – as any government body does [...]".

I have a #Yuba #Kombi long-tail cargo bike. The model does not have suspension in the front; I understand that making one in the back would be technically hard.

I want to put a for with suspension. The bike weights 24kg w/o accessories, the #ebike kit 6kg, and then usually carries some 120k in people :) and tops 250kg. What else do I need to know to, and where can I search a replacement?

When I was a kid all bikes had the same sizes and pieces where mostly interchangeable...

The other day one of our internal bots told me one of my company passwords was about to expire. Since this thing was converted to an AI chatbot, it provided me a button that said "change now". The thing spent a few tokens just to give me URL where I could rotate it. For a company of around 600-750 people. And a password rotation policy of 45 days. All those tokens spent for a URL that could have been in the first message.

This is the first image that makes me doubt about my position about #AI. Most probably because I don't know any artist that paints like that. Does anyone has examples?

I just bought a book from #Kobo, and it seems it can only be read on their web, on their app, or on their reader? I'm delusional thinking I could download the #ebook and read it wherever I want?

I use some smileys I haven't seem much around:

`:-j` is someone half smiling. Yeah, the dot also makes it like they're smoking or something.

`:-G` is a person so sad (more than (`:-C`) that the mouth is doing bad things.

And now to go down the rabbit hole to figure out what fsck up that LTR text, it's supposed to be `<a href="">` and `</a>`...

Question for #Arabic web devs and similar:

When you write an HTML tag, in RTL Arabic, does the open tag (which is ASCII, so LTR) appear on the right or the left?

Sorry, what? People in military operations are carrying cell phones, and those phones connect to the local network with their international numbers? Is it as stupid and "simple" as that?

#ADHD adults, what tips would you have given your NT parents when they were raising you? My eldest has AHDH and sometimes is really hard to manage her, and I frankly don't know if it's AHDH or the rest of her personality...

Boosts appreciated.

So it seems that USA lost to Belgium last night.

Good.

For a while I thought they would pull an Argentina '78.
