All tech gadget prices keep shooting up. Fortunately, in return for that we now have access to infinite bullshit generators that are destroying the environment. So, you know, ups and downs.

It's been a while, Woolly waiting for Apple review.

@catsalad Are you OK Ms C?
@weezmgk Yeah. It's easy for me to cry.
All I have to do is think about only having 2 hands while the world has so many kitties! 😭😭😭

@Techaltar Why is it called K2, the 2nd highest mountain? Why are they not aiming for the top?
Do you remember the surprise announcement of a new social network in Davos this past January? Something that promised to be the "first" European social network?
Its name is #WSocial and it's a fork of #Bluesky. Its founders have ties with European politicians - but there is no official involvement by the EU.
You wouldn't know any of this from media reports because they all rehashed their talking points. So I wrote a post about it, dispelling some myths:

Meta’s disregard for its users and its reckless spending are driving it into the grave.
But unfortunately dying Internet companies can do a lot of damage on their way down.

"solar-powered electricity stations, battery swapping plans, repurposing or recycling batteries as they wear down, and mini-grids (small, localised power generation systems that operate off-grid). The aim is to power large e-bike fleets without interrupting its national electricity distribution."

Europe needs independent social infrastructure, not just an app. This is what we're building. eurosky.tech/build/
Wouldn't it be awesome if big OSS Python scientific libraries just move to codeberg and start publishing only sdists in their corresponding GitHub repos? What a powerful message would that be to the current state of OSS development.

The net around Russia's war machine is getting tighter.
As our sanctions take hold, we see a regime retreating behind a digital Iron Curtain to hide the truth about its failing economy. Yet, no matter how high the wall, it eventually falls.
Our 20th sanctions package to weaken the Kremlin’s invasion includes:
🔹 632 ships banned from our ports.
🔹 20 banks added to our list.
🔹 €365m in trade halted.
🔹 Zero tolerance for sanctions dodging.

@EUCommission und trotzdem machen wir gute Geschäfte mit Russland sein es Gas und Öl sei es Uran oder andere Mittel, wir finanzieren den Krieg gegen die Ukraine mit und tun doch so als wenn wir auf der Seite der Ukraine stehen. Sorry schon bei den Angriff auf die Krim hätte man Handeln müssen und zwar entschlossen und man hat nichts gelernt Völkerrechtswidrige Aktionen erst mal schauen wie man die Profite sichert bevor man vielleicht handelt.
So about this. Oregon banned OTC sale of real Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) in 2005. I, a person who then had to periodically jump through hoops to get prescription pseudoephedrine to keep my lungs from crashing, did not know this had been repealed in 2022 until…this week?

I wasn't on social media in 2022, really, so maybe that's why I didn't know, but I feel like this is a great example of how weird our comms channels are for things that aren't ad campaigns or big news. My primary care doc never mentioned it. Maybe he didn't know either?
@alexchapman For my server, Systemd is perfect and exactly what I want. For my personal machine, it works just fine, but it's way heavier than runit.
@TheQuinbox Right.
@gsc yeah you would think so. But in the Chrome example, it actually redownloads the 4gb model to the user's device if they have deleted the file. So the Chrome team stand in defiance of what we imagine to be a universal value.
Fascism is incompatible with democracy.
Because most people don't want fascism, and democracy is "Government by what most people want."
The closest facsimile possible, is "Misrepresentative Democracy" where people vote for representatives, but the victims of fascism have less power to choose them.
Hoy estoy más callado porque estoy disfrutando demasiado en el mundo real con los talleres y las discusiones de #genZiencia en el CaixaForum, organizado por la #AEC2. Ahora escuchando a @raffiovalentina e Isa Moreno #AquiLaTierra sobre el #odio #hate recordando todas aquellas campañas de odio de cuando criticaron el debate ese negacionista del tipo ese GeorgeSalvaje y el cambio climático.
