Jumping on the Hype Train
Every member of the board of #OpenSource #Science can flawlessly name the #IT hype's of the last 35 years, and tell the tale. In this blog we want to explain how huge and import…

Jumping on the Hype Train
misled by fake specialists

wish I could find a single scanner app (as in using a flatbed, not my phone camera) that offered perspective crop instead of pretending that its auto skew fixing is flawless

Finally switched to Chimera Linux @… as a daily driver (using Plasma Desktop). The migration was painless and everything (except akonadi/pim) is working flawlessly.

"Why the Left lost on Trans Rights" - a conversation between Sarah McBride and Ezra Klein. Below the link to YouTube, but you can also find it as a podcast. It's not about Trans rights, really. It's about the culture war; grace; demanding perfection in action and flawlessness in language instead of accepting allyship in substance and grace when someone is trying; about not having space to think differently.
1.5h, but I recommend listening. So many nuggets of wisdom.…

Coding is dangerous. I keep going back to optimize & “fix issues” when it’s already working flawlessly.

This is getting tedious. #UbuntuStudio cannot possibly contain material its own installer cannot extract, and my iso passes sha256 and my install media is flawless (says badblocks) and yet each boot misbehaves differently, failing because it cannot 'read' something.

To give some examples:
When police get vastly differential results at investigating crimes against some groups (e.g., Black women) vs. others (e.g., white men), that's malcompetence. Probably plenty of simple malice involved too, and probably the whole gamut of mechanisms I mentioned in the last post are involved here.
Another example, from my own experience: when I stumble over the names of my non-white students but pronounce my white students' names flawlessly, that's malcompetence on my part, because the net effect of my selective incompetence is to make some students feel less welcome in my classroom, which hurts their learning. I'm my case, the reasons for the incompetence are not conscious nor (I think) unconscious malice, but instead a differential capability picked up from a certain kind of upbringing and then (sometimes) insufficiently mitigated by capability-building effort. Because of how I grew up, my ability to pronounce different names is biased (this is true of everyone in the world; most people don't have a classroom instructor position that causes it to matter so much). When I'm successful at mitigating my malcompetence, I use practice time with student intro videos to pare down my competence gap for the specific students in my class. This is time consuming (several hours per week for the first few weeks of classes) and I'm sad to admit that I don't always invest that time. But it's a great example of malcompetence because I have a introspective access to it.

We're using @… as our in-house chat system. I've just managed to connect it to LDAP and upgraded it from one major version to the next... It's a bit daunting to upgrade such a central piece of our company's communication and notification infrastructure. If something went wrong it would cause a real headache. But what can I say: it worked flawlessly.
