Yeah, I keep hearing good things about Cloudflare!

But you are right, end of the day I will probably just have to enforce lowercase ids, given the point with the different treatment by the various file systems.

Solange die Union „christlich“ im Namen tragen darf, wird man auch Veggie-Wurst überleben.

OR: they could also just not change the routing, as any other static hoster?

My problem is that parts of the URL represent case sensitive IDs, and hence XyZ and xYz should correspond to different routes.

This is a very niche rant, but the fact that netlify converts all file paths to lower case makes it impossible to use for static sites where IDs with uppercase characters are part of the URL. (e.g. using static-adapter in sveltekit). It seems like such a shortsighted decision?

Basic income support scheme for artists to be made permanent and opened to new entrants in budget Negotiations down to the wire, with five big-spending departments yet to agree their budget allocations

After a successful pilot, Ireland is permanently establishing a universal basic income scheme for artists, where participants are paid €325 per week. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends
tech weirdo: and shitheads
np: no just my friends
tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender?
np: we just want to hang out and goof around
tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then
np: no shitheads
tw: not following

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Exactly! This paradox is also addressed in the discussion.

Globally representative evidence on the actual and perceived support for climate action - Nature Climate Change Global support and cooperation are necessary for successful climate action. Large-scale representative survey results show that most of the population around the world is willing to support climate action, while a perception gap exists regarding other citizens’ intention to act.

A vast majority of people globally is in favor of climate action:

"Our findings reveal widespread support for climate action. [...] 69% [...] expresses a willingness to contribute 1% of their personal income [...] and 89% demand intensified political action."

Things that don't get enough attention in the media:

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Das Bürgergeld: Die hartnäckigsten Behauptungen im Faktencheck Es sei zu teuer, biete keinen Anreiz zum Arbeiten oder verleite zu Sozialbetrug. Die größten Narrative zum Bürgergeld im Faktencheck.

Sehr gut gemacht. Auch zum Teilen sehr nützlich:

"Es sei zu teuer, biete zu wenig Anreiz zum Arbeiten oder verleite zu Sozialbetrug – immer wieder kursieren online und in der Politik Behauptungen über das #Bürgergeld. Wir haben uns die größten Narrative der letzten Jahre genauer angeschaut."

SVA Announces New Graduate Program in Data Visualization and Communication | School of Visual Arts | SVA NYC A feature on the upcoming MPS Data Visualization and Communication program arriving in fall 2026.

I'm very excited to share the official announcement from School of Visual Arts on the new MPS Data Visualization & Communication (DV&C) program!! It is a real thrill to build such an ambitious new project in the heart of NYC. We're just thrilled to create something truly new! sva.edu/features/sva...

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.

Who will foot the bill? The opportunity cost of prioritising nuclear power over renewable energy for the case of Finland In an effort to decarbonise their energy systems, several countries have declared intentions to triple their nuclear power capacity by 2050 at the Uni…

Studie: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Eine neue Studie hat (für Finnland) gezeigt, dass es wirtschaftlich absolut keinen Sinn macht, Atomkraft auszubauen, um die Klimaziele einzuhalten, weil man das Gleiche sehr viel billiger mit Erneuerbaren erreichen kann. AKW kosten 71 % mehr.

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

Einfach Glück für Trump, dass er kein Binnen-I benutzt hat. Sonst wäre die Demokratie in Gefahr.

Some notes on probability judgement – Notes from a data witch For the love of fuck, literally nobody thinks that 20% of the population is transgender. Please stop sharing that ridiculous YouGov statistic

A great post from @djnavarro.net, providing an accessible explanation of why statistics that can appear to reveal our ignorance may actually do the opposite. Makes excellent use of #datavis to provide visual support for the argument.

Interessant!

Plot, der die Antriebsarten der Neuzulassungen der PKW im August in Deutschland gegen den Listenpreis der Autos vergleicht für Verbrenner, Plug-In Hybride und Batteriefahrzeuge. Unter 35k dominieren Verbrenner sehr stark. Über 60k werden allgemein deutlich weniger Autos verkauft. Batteriefahrzeuge gibt es von 15k (wenig, 10% Anteil) über 55k (30% Anteil), über 75k (15% Anteil) in allen Preisbereichen. Plug-In Hybride beginnen erst bei 40k mit geringem Anteil, überholen ab 65k die E-Autos (30% Anteil) und steigen bei 80k auf 45% Anteil. Im Plot sind die einzelnen Modelle als Kreise mit Größe der Zulassungszahlen eingetragen, wodurch besonders viel zugelassene Modelle, wie der Verbrenner VW T-Roc oder der VW ID.3 (beide ~45k) besonders sichtbar werden. Der Gesamtschnitt der Batterieautos an den Neuzulassungen im August war 19%.

Detailansicht des gleichen Plots für 15-75k

Mich hat interessiert, wie sich der Anteil von E-Autos an den Neuzulassungen eigentlich abhängig vom Listenpreis verhält.
