@Hedgewizard @heidilifeldman That's one reason why the spectacle of a roomful of US #generals sitting in stony silence before the ranting #dictator and his minion is the most encouraging scene in a long while.

This is an absolute must read by @pluralistic. Go, get Cory Doctorow's book now. #enshitification
I wish I didn't require money to live. I wish I could focus on what I find valuable, what I find interesting, rather than what some capitalist find valuable!
I generally don't trust those who can pay a living wage to know what needs doing!
That said... Does anyone have opportunities for a trained & enthusiastic computer scientist interested in small-scale computing?
Or keen to team up?
People perceive thickness of letters very individually, and that’s why we are conducting Font Weight Survey to understand the regional preferences of font weight. Could we ask you for 10 min of your time? The findings will be published publicly once we have some results.

honestly for once i'm not too bothered about it. the twitter-poisoned getting self-selected out is probably the best outcome for all parties
Und die erste gemeinsame Podcastfolge mit meiner Herzdame ist aufgenommen 🥰 es wird ein Personal Podcast werden, über unser Leben und ihr Weg als Transfrau. In der erste Folge haben wir uns ein wenig vorgestellt und nochmal zusammen aufs @podstock zurückgeblickt. In der zweiten Folge werden wir erzählen wie wir uns kennen gelernt haben. Gibts bald™ unter http://macsora.de!
Mastodon Account zum Podcast kommt!
Danke vorab an die lieben Menschis die gerade an einem Cover für den Podcast basteln 😘
Business idea but I’m actually half-serious about it for once: Small software company that builds basic infrastructural apps (think project management, slack-like chat, time tracking, etc.) in the most simple and minimalist way possible. Focus on doing the basics super well and being pleasant to use. No AI. Low cost compared to the big bois. Self-hostable if people so choose.
Like, this wouldn’t make billions obv but for sure this could sustain a small team pretty well… no?
Ushered today at the Twyford in Merimbula for "Velveteen Rabbit". It's a play for children, put on by a Melbourne company called "Born in a Taxi". Cool name :-)
Anyhow, it may be a kids show, but there wasn't a dry adult eye in the place by the end. A beautiful story, from a hundred-year-old book.
If you get a chance to see it (or read the book), do. And definitely if you have kids.
Mariana came to learn the names of relatives she never knew — people buried by time and by empire.

Do you know a company or organisation running their own Fediverse service? let me know!

#Arachtober 3: meet a representative of another order of arachnids, Opiliones (a.k.a. harvesters, harvestmen, daddy-long-legs [though this can also refer to a kind of spider, crane flies, and even a plant]). They have some key differences from spiders: head and abdomen segments fused together; no silk or venom (i.e. they are entirely harmless); only two eyes; and instead of using pedipalps to transfer sperm during mating, they have an intromittent (insertable) organ, a penis or aedeagus.
I think this is the common species _Phalangium opilio_, introduced from Europe. There are several thousand different species in this order!

It took until 2112 for them to remove the last bit of random Internet content from the AI databases. "At last," they said, "We can offer people answers that have no biases, fake news, 'alternative facts', or sarcasm!"
The robot stepped out of the data center and looked around in surprise at the ruined city. "That's odd. Where did the people go?"

Poster for The Sheffield Anarchist Book Fair at the Raccoon Studios on Exchange Street in Sheffield on the 26th of October 2025.
These rogue prosecutors, serving a rogue U.S. President and a rogue U.S. Attorney General, are carrying out politically motivated investigations into Democratic elected officials the Trump regime fears and dislikes. One of the most authoritarian and dangerous actions from the regime so far. 4/4

RIchard Rovere on Joe McCarthy: "He knew how to get into the news even on those rare occasions when invention failed him and he had no unfacts to give out."
Unfacts. I like that. It should be used next to everything Trump and his propagandists say.
