Ricevo, e credo che sia utile per un po' di vittime di #trenord qui sul fediverso

https://www.prealpina.it/pages/lombardia-treni-in-ritardo-aumenta-lindennizzo-334475.html

“La norma nel prevedere la necessità di richiesta dell’abbonato reindirizza la misura compensativa del disagio a chi effettivamente lo ha subito, diversamente da quanto accadeva con il vecchio bonus.”

che credo voglia dire, più o meno “speriamo che la maggior parte dei pendolari si dimentichino di chiederlo e/o non vengano a sapere di doverlo chiedere”

se ho ben capito le istruzioni su come fare la richiesta sono già su https://www.regione.lombardia.it/wps/portal/istituzionale/HP/DettaglioServizio/servizi-e-informazioni/Cittadini/Muoversi-in-Lombardia/Treni/bonus-ferroviario/bonus-ferroviario

ti ringrazio e spargo volentieri la voce. Anche se molto ci sarebbe da dire circa i dati di puntualità, calcolati senza tener conto dei treni che, superato un certo numero di minuti di ritardo, vengono soppressi così da non rientrare nel conteggio.
In realtà Trenord sta offrendo un servizio costantemente peggiorativo, a cominciare dal *quasi obbligo* di scaricare un'app (segue)

fatta malissimo, proseguendo col biglietto elettronico, che di fatto ha ridotto la possibilità di utilizzo dello stesso (prima acquistavi un biglietto e potevi usarlo quando ti pareva, ora devi farlo entro 24 ore), al già annunciato abbonamento elettronico e via dicendo. Ciò che migliora è solo la profilazione degli utenti e la depredazione di dati.

@valhalla @fabrixxm

in reply to LaVi 🕊️📚🐈

@LaVi 🕊️📚🐈 @Fabio mi pareva tempo fa di aver trovato su uno dei siti istituzionali (trenord o regione) che i treni soppressi contino uguali ai treni con più di 30 minuti di ritardo, ma adesso non ho il link sottomano (e non so se le nuove regole siano cambiate).

Comunque c'è il fatto che quei dati non dicono che i treni in ritardo sono ovviamente soprattutto in ora di punta (anche per ragioni ragionevoli, tutto sommato), e che quindi impattano molte più persone rispetto ai treni in orario alle 10 di mattina o alle 8 di sera.

1/ It’s a big day for the Radicle community :space_invader: We're excited to announce the rollout of our first release candidate for Radicle 1.0 — our most significant update to date :tada:

Start collaborating today
👉 https://radicle.xyz

Here’s an overview of what’s new 🧵

in reply to Lars Wirzenius

It's a really cool project but now I wish they would make a presence on the fediverse too (and not just twitter). Can't be bothered to create yet another account on their zulip instance or whatever it's called
in reply to Alex

@lmas Apparently for read-only access, Zulip doesn't require an account. The #annoucement stream is where releases are announced, but we intend to broaden from there.

I've been asked if I can identify these audio cassettes that are in a university archive and I'm stumped.

They have two playback cutouts, and in one of the spools I can see 'Japan'. It would appear to be 30 minutes of tape.

Anyone got any ideas what machine they might have been used in?

reshared this

in reply to Charlie Stross

@cstross The combination of a TV show and the sprocket holes made me think video tape. It's hard to gauge though without knowing the dimensions of the cassette. It might be a micro audio tape for all I know.

Just because the tape has a show from 1969 on the tape doesn't mean it's 1969 tech—that could be a newer format that someone recorded an old show on.

in reply to Coles Street Pothole

@ColesStreetPothole So you're telling me you never recorded the audio off the TV through a microphone onto a compact cassette because no real human beings could afford a video cassette recorder back in 1974?

Young folks these days, I swear!

in reply to Charlie Stross

Oh, I recorded the audio of many movies in the 1970s, on one of these. Flipping the tape during a commercial break was a skill.

in reply to Coles Street Pothole

@ColesStreetPothole yup. I just remember that circa 1977 a VCR (here in the UK) cost about £700 new, and £300 for a colour TV, which was about 3-6 months' average wages (maybe £5000-6000 today).
in reply to Charlie Stross

@cstross @ColesStreetPothole We don’t know who owned these, may not have been consumer. The first commercially available cartridge video recorders for professional use are from the late 60s.
in reply to Charlie Stross

@cstross @ColesStreetPothole I also recorded some TV audio on CC but I always used the headphone jack of the TV. Direct TV sound was pretty decent like FM radio although it was mono.

@cstross Rainbows End is the one that lives in my head more than the rest of his books (though they all have their places in there).

Every time autocorrect fucks up again, I find myself wishing for the kind of interfaces described in Rainbows End.

A thing I have periodically been pointing out for like 20 years now that nobody else seems to know is that you can write CSS that controls how your web page will look when it is printed out. You can even set up completely separate stylesheets for printing, and the browser will be smart enough to automatically use them when the user hits "print"

Yep. I've used this before.

"Who Killed Asmodean?" was by far the most commonly asked question Robert Jordan received. He said the answer should be "intuitively obvious to the casual observer." So, who did you think it was at first?

I had no clue, but I still think he meant this remark in the way that such a phrase would be understood by students of mathematics or physics hearing it from their professors: that is, if you think really hard about it for some weeks then you ought to be able to reconstruct the chain of reasoning using only information you currently have. (And in fact since https://m.fanfiction.net/s/4975913/1/Sherlock-Holmes-Examines-the-Death-of-Asmodean got it exactly right in 2000 or so, he was right!)

Wrote an article about turning a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen laptop into a programmable USB device by enabling the xDCI controller 😯

Now I can emulate USB devices from the laptop without any external hardware, including via Raw Gadget or even Facedancer 😁

The overall process included fiddling with Linux kernel drivers, xHCI, DWC3, ACPI, BIOS/UEFI, Boot Guard, TPM, NVRAM, PCH, PMC, PSF, IOSF, and P2SB, and making a custom USB cable 😱

the lock bits being reset during S3 sleep and not re-locked seems like an evergreen design failure.

Mi preoccupa molto il Piracy Shield introdotto, anche se non vedo partite piratate o sia possessore di "pezzotto", ma per le implicazioni a corto/lungo termine che porta.
È notizia di un paio di giorni fa che insieme agli ip di alcuni siti di streaming video siano stati indiscriminatamente bloccati in toto gli ip di 2 CDN (cloud4c.com e parte di zenlayer), rendendo impossibile anche a chi avesse servizi leciti li sopra di essere raggiunti dall'Italia, l'organo che si occupa della faccenda (agcom) è un organo privato che si erge a "controllore", "multatore" e "bloccatore". Con il mer(d)aviglioso governo fascista che abbiamo ci vorrà poco affinché da un utilizzo anti pirateria si passi ai blocchi per fini politici adducendo motivazioni fantasiose (tipo il decreto antisemitismo di Salvini per gli artisti e le tv).

Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBO will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).

The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .

#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!

EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.

When I was a smartass computer nerd in the 80s and 90s, an eternal theme was friends and family sheepishly asking me for tech support help, and me slowly, patiently explaining to them that computers aren't scary, they're actually predictable, they won't explode or erase your data (unless you really make an effort), and they operate by simple (if somewhat arcane) rules. Edit > Cut, then click, then Edit > Paste. Save As. Use tabs, not spaces. Stuff like that. Maybe not easy, but simple, or at least consistent and learnable.

But that's not true anymore.

User interfaces lag. Text lies. Buttons don't click. Buttons don't even look like buttons! Panels pop up and obscure your workspace and you can't move or remove them -- a tiny floating x and a few horizontal lines is all you get. Mobile and web apps lose your draft text, refresh at whim, silently swallow errors, mysteriously move shit around when you're not looking, hide menus, bury options, don't respect or don't remember your chosen settings. Doing the same thing gives different results. The carefully researched PARC principles of human-computer interaction -- feedback, discoverabilty, affordances, consistency, personalization -- all that fundamental Don Norman shit -- have been completely discarded.

My tech support calls now are about me sadly explaining there's nothing I can do. Computers suck now. They run on superstition, not science. It's a real tragedy for humanity and I have no idea how to fix it.
