@sundogplanets I missed it the first time around so thanks for mentioning again, sounds like just what I like. I also rather like the note at the bottom of the info page on the Apple Book store that says the publisher has requested it be sold without DRM. Good for them!

M16, the Eagle nebula, including the pillars of creation.

#LoveMakeShare June 15: Share some creative wins and losses from June thus far.

Wins: I finally started editing the new anthology, and cast on a piece of Christmas knitting. And most importantly, I joined an awesome queer crafting group that meets monthly at the library.

Losses: Nothing especially new. My yarn stash is still in a shipping crate, and I'm not motivated to work on my manuscript.

The government is tabling privacy reform today. That’s overdue, but its privacy track record is terrible: mandated age verification for millions, mandatory metadata retention, weaker privacy rules for political parties, and sidelining the Privacy Commish.

I'm getting burnt out on all my moderation actions being against fucking AI. Like, I never thought I'd say it, but I miss suspending Nazis and bigots—at least they were real people who would give up after a while—these LLMs just go on and on, and they don't give a shit if they're suspended or rejected.

And then I discovered that the image library below is not even in Go... But in C. (Libvips)

Met a friend at the park

New modeling from The Lancet suggests the USAID funding cuts will kill 14 million people.

Many of them are children.

600,000 have already died.

The man who gutted the program?

Elon Musk. The world’s first trillionaire.

He has a trillionaire dollars and is murdering the poorest people on earth.

He should be in jail.

Billionaires and trillionaires should not exist in a world where millions die from poverty every year.

Anacé Indigenous People Halt Construction of TikTok Data Center in Brazil

Last Tuesday (9), the Anacé Indigenous people occupied the construction site of the data center belonging to Omnia, a service provider for TikTok.

Located in the coast of Ceará state, the project has been the target of a series of complaints from the community, which has been mobilizing for months against what it considers a violation of its territorial and environmental rights.
