A sheela na gig is a grotesque carving found in churches built around the 11th or 12th century. These carvings depict a figure with an exaggerated vulva, usually holding it open.

Ob sie da wohl auch Bücher über Streisand haben?

Frage für einen Freund.

What starts with @p and ends with @epsi ?

Ich finde es sehr fair, dass die großartigen Battery Charts (https://battery-charts.de/de/home-de/) von der RWTH Aachen die neu zugelassenen Wasserstoffautos (grün) neben Batterielektrischen (blau) und plug-in Hybriden (gelb) in ihre Auswertung einbeziehen :)

Üblicherweise geh ich einmal alle 3 Monate in die Apotheke für mein Dauermedikament, und zahle 5€ oder auch nicht, je nach dem wie die Sterne stehen.

Heute hab ich mir n Wärmepflaster und ne Schachtel Voltaren geholt, was mal eben eine Größenordnung teurer war.

I'm used to being the only woman in a meeting with 15 men.
What's new today is being the one woman in a meeting of 9 men, 6 of which are called Markus 😶

For some reason, I always end up being the 5th wheel.

I'm in department 4. Everyone else who does my job is in department 3. They keep forgetting me in mailing lists and meetings.

They sent me for 2 weeks to do project y. The 3 other people in the project team are in department 2, and report to the boss who is here with us. I do not. They let me know on an hourly basis that I am not one of them.

Sigh.

A very legitimate question

Mastodon has a new human-over-AI contribution policy.

tl;dr:

- The human contributor is the sole party responsible for the contribution.

- If AI was used to generate a significant portion of your contribution (i.e. beyond simple autocomplete), we require you to disclose it in the Pull Request description.

- If you cannot guarantee the provenance and legal safety of the AI-generated code, do not submit it.

- Cases of repeated violations of these ... guidelines could result in a ban from our repositories.

Wenn mir Leute Freitags noch schnell ein Meeting reinlegen, ist das üblicherweise kein gutes Zeichen.

Aber heute war's nur ein PM, der die #ITsec Milestones in seinem #Projektablauf erklärt haben wollte.

Ja, die gäbe auch in einem Wiki erklärt, aber der Mensch hat in den nächsten Monaten gleich mehrere recht teure Projekte, da ist so ein persönlicher Kontakt vorher ganz hilfreich.

I weaseled my way into a workshop that usually my boss would go to, but he's on sabbatical.

And the first person I ran into (and didn't recognise until he told me his name) was the CTO of the whole company.

And of course, when he held an AMA after his keynote, I asked the one question my bosses boss and their boss keep sweeping under a rug whenever I bring it up.

And the CTO answered, honestly, about the state if the thing. He took my worries seriously because he was just as worried.

...my bosses boss two rows back was seething.

I feel a strong urge to hide in some basement 🙈

Don’t call it age verification. Call it centralised personal data collection. And understand that it serves surveillance, not safety for children. Thank you for your cooperation.

Fabulousness from Rose Ann Prevec. ;)
