The owner of a local art store and head of our urban sketchers chapter is starting a website she envisions will be a worldwide sketch book. Its to post art of or inspired by places around the world and pinned to a map, much like inaturalist does for flora & fauna.

She is looking for testers, basically any artist interested in trying it out.

Its in the beta stage, but if you are interested in checking it out, the address is: https://drawnhere.net/

Switzerland is going to replace MS Office 365, with Open Source Alternatives on over 3,000 government computers, roughly 7% of the current workforce.

Switzerland's military cybersecurity unit, Cyber Command, will be completed replaceing MS Office 365 entirely with openDesk by October 2026.

Je découvre à quel point les "contrôles judiciaires" pour les blancs c'est de la blague.

En public, à priori de manière régulière, ouvertement, et sans aucune précaution.

Parce que pour que ça coince, il faut littéralement tuer quelqu'un.

Alors que j'ose pas imaginer un voleur de pomme racisé qui aurait échappé au ferme et qui se fait chopper au mauvais endroit…

Et reste à voir si læ juge va prendre cette violation en compte.

@chadkoh What model Air and what made you switch it over to Fedora?

@jpm resin or FDM?

@dansup I wonder how a CTO could say a group of people is "delusional" or "lying" in public

@seachanger

assemblag.es is also going (with some hiccups) and i'm very worried that our pretty absent admin is also paying a lot for it? i can't even find the info about where/how to pay now (i have in the past but i can't find/refind the info)

#norearmeurope Il Rearm Eu e la vera transizione bellica #nowar
Riportiamo di seguito la relazione tenuta da Antonio Mazzeo al Convegno Nazionale «Dalla finta transizione ecologica alla vera transizione bellica. L’Occidente dichiara guerra all’ambiente», promosso da Ecoresistenze e tenutosi a #Bologna il 20 giugno 2026.https://osservatorionomilscuola.com/2026/09/02/rearm-eu-la-vera-transizione-bellica/

@thomasfuchs Two is definitely not enough. Also, https://youtu.be/kLH414HQZKw

if you are trying to evaluate the efficacy of LLMs and you are reading the personal story of someone building an impressive demo, do not read the post looking for technical details. instead, see if you can spot:

- sleep disruptions
- grandiose generalized language about upcoming social and technological change
- increasing mania as the project progressed
- social isolation
- jokes about addiction that read as insecure deflection
- getting stuck at 90%

A/I may be ending. The story is nowhere near over.

For twenty-five years, #AutisticiInventati showed what it could mean for movements to build and control their own communications infrastructure. Its loss should not send everyone searching for the next single service to replace it.

It should send us looking in a hundred directions.

In Boise, the Boise Autonomous Solidarity Hub is experimenting with one of them. @BASH has put a small independent publication on NomadNet, a system running over Reticulum rather than relying solely on the conventional web. It has articles, archives, submissions and contact functions, reachable through a cryptographic network destination instead of an ordinary domain.

That is not the answer. That's what makes it interesting.

Other projects are trying other things: cooperative infrastructure, self-managed servers, RSS, mirrors, print, radio, downloadable archives, federated publishing and networks that barely resemble the commercial web at all.

We don't need to find another A/I. We need to understand how to build a thousand different pieces of what made A/I possible.

Sabot is beginning a living guide to autonomous media and infrastructure, aimed especially at small and rural projects: how to publish, archive, distribute, host, mirror and keep going when a platform, host, domain, provider or collective disappears.

Coming Soon:

BECOME THE THOUSAND SERVERS

A living guide to autonomous publishing, infrastructure and survival

Follow the people experimenting. Follow small radical media. Preserve what matters.

Then build something.

The bulk of welfare and insurance fraud is committed by the higher sub-tiers of the middle. The smaller portion of it is committed by the poor, and is, frankly, chump change.

The rich don't have to commit welfare and insurance fraud. Their welfare is guaranteed by the government, and they own the insurance companies.

@randahl The re-emergence of Naziism. Scary

alaskan.social is still going despite none of us quite knowing who is paying for it (?)

it is like the opposite of the tragedy of the commons, it perseveres in spite of its organizers

@decryption I gave up. I finally gave the Dark Master, Lord of Chaos, Emperor of the Damned, a nickname. It was getting too annoying having to say all those formal titles every time I screamed for mercy as I was being subjected to hellish torture by him or his minions. I can get much more agonised pleading in now that I can just call him "Sammy".

Canada built 44 bridges and tunnels across a single stretch of highway so that animals could cross without dying, and collisions with wildlife there have fallen by more than 80%, with grizzly mothers now teaching their cubs to use the crossings like a route the family has always known
