@generalespecifico eh, ma è così. Se non sei in buone condizioni di salute fisica o mentale, non devi metterti al volante. Guidare non è obbligatorio
@informapirata @betelgeuse93 @steek_hutzee questo è un altro argomento interessante. Però non intendo quello.
non-profits have boards and patrons...
i worked at a non-profit that did open source software. unix/linux based. then we got a new president who came from the VC world. he mandated use of commercial software because it was what all the cool kid VCs were using.
microsoft has its tentacles in too many places and too many folks that bring money are used to it. it's really hard to get it out once in and it's hard to keep it out.
@paul_ipv6 Yep and this is why I don't do client support and consultancy anymore.
It's tiring and frustrating.
Too many time's I've seen that exact thing happen.

@stefan I used to get local nj news on twitter, but that is gone. Can’t find reliable sources here. Did you find anything useful?
@sashk I've never been great on local news to begin with. TBH most local news I want is about my town which is mostly on facebook in groups.
@cstross @MythingPerson But lacking Bob Oliver Francis Howard I'd imagine?
@ajn142 @MythingPerson Correct! (It's a space opera.)
@Linux well then your "but we do" will not be believed. Find a reporter in a different country. get a vpn and make fake profiles.
Believe, don't believe — I'm not in a position to prove anything yet. Only in a position to casually say, I know better.

@nixCraft And all the shitty companies are contributing! - They're obviously trying to run a viral marketing campaign via social media.

We hear you, @khzimmer2!
Just today we approved another € 6.1 billion loan to support defence procurement for Ukraine. This brings total financial support to Ukraine up to over € 220 billion.
Our solidarity doesn't stop at financial support. Learn more here: https://commission.europa.eu/topics/eu-solidarity-ukraine_en
@jan @archos @yunohost @dansup@pixelfed.social @pixelfed I was focused on Loops, but now I'm back to full time Pixelfed development!
I just shipped a big update, that fixes account migration and there is a lot more updates coming!

Just a reminder - boost everything you love, it helps people find cool stuff on Mastodon.
@rl_dane @davidgerard There have been a drip of reports for the past five years that Apple was working on one, but refused to release it until (a) they could do one without a tendency to crease along the fold, and (b) a manageable defect rate (to avoid blowing up the warranty budget).
I'd quite like an iPad Mini that folds down into an iPhone, thanks, but not at a higher price than an iPad Mini *and* an iPhone Pro Max.
Compelling, adult SF on the small screen is, I’m fully aware, not an easy thing to pull off. But “Foundation” ain’t it.
I miss “Westworld.” : . (
What (and maybe all) I appreciate about “Foundation” in the end is a quality that emerges from Asimov’s original scenario: not “longtermism” as that commitment has come to be understood, but a care for spinal *continuity* under significant pressure.
Too many of the things we invest our care in are built to flourish only for a brief moment in fashion, during a particular season of life, or in the happenstance constellation of a particular group of friends, lovers, comrades and interlocutors; our very politics commend to us the contingent and the projectual. It’s time to consider the design of lightweight armatures that can endure under pressure – structures and systems and practices that convey *just enough*, and can be sustained indefinitely.
Somebody would like to know why he can't have third breakfast.

@StaceyCornelius How could you say no to this face?
Quick question, for writers/artists of speculative fiction based in the EU. We are organizing the first edition of a specfic festival sometime next year, perhaps in May, in Kampala. It's still very early stages of planning, but there's a grant by Goethe to facilitate travel of artists based in the EU, and deadline is in September. So I'm wondering, if you are eligible to apply and want to visit our festival as a guest, well, send a DM....

“No single place on Earth is resilient against all global catastrophic risks, but Australia is the country most frequently identified as resilient in the literature we reviewed … Even this country, however, is vulnerable to specific hazards and dependent on continued international trade for fuel, medicine, and fertilizer. There is truly no place to hide.”

So maybe we should stop fucking up our own habitat so we at least prevent the disasters we can prevent to the extent that we can prevent them.
