Sur le discord du patreon de Quinns Quest on va (re)lire Girl Frame comme #jdr, ça m'a permis de voir que y avait une 2e version de dispo !
Si le jdr anglophone sur un discord super cool avec plein de parties et de gens super intéressés dans le hobby vous tente, je peux que recommander le patreon <3
So, hard pill to swallow, but I think there are a class of AI enthusiasts who got that way because computing fundamentally failed them, for whom getting a computer to do anything _for them_ not being a whole-ass bullshit ordeal still deserve our empathy and solidarity. We, computer-people we, can’t escape responsibility for abandoning user empowerment in favour of corporate consolidation and vending machine interfaces decades ago, now that we’re reaping the whirlwind of mechanized capitalism.
@mhoye Completely agree.
People who were alienated from computers can easily see AI as empowering, demystifying.
This is much the same problem as a lot of people who get brought into right wing populism, when you really get down to it. There are real, actual problems (that have complicated long term solutions that no one is pursuing very actively) and far right populist movements provide easy scapegoats, promising to solve those problems, promising empowerment and understanding.
In both cases, it's fake, but in both cases it sure does feel real for the people who get caught up in it.
Who do you look up to?
@Tutanota Linus is better. But M-chips are very impressive.
Okay #Bookstodon I need your help with a birthday present for my 12 year old niece. She is currently really into the Twilight series and I'd really like to lure her away to something that doesn't normalise controlling relationships. She also really likes the Hunger Games.
She seems to prefer long series and has reached the age where she prefers to think of herself as a young adult rather than a child so likes female main characters in their late teens and early twenties and won't read things with young children as main characters. A bit of dystopia or, apparently, vampires is fine, but she seems to prefer things mostly based in the real world and the modern era, not so much straight up fantasy, speculative fiction or historical. She also rather likes animals and nature but not obsessively, and wants to be an architect when she grows up.
I'm considering the Noughts and Crosses series, but it's a bit bleak and ideally I'd prefer something where not everyone dies.
Any suggestions?
@afewbugs absolutely tangentially- how about the Unbeatable Squirrelgirl?

what, and i mean, the fuck it is with people posting mile long manifestos on mastodon’s hashtags?
or is it that mastodon’s hashtags aggregate from other platforms?
anyhow, whomever developed the plugin for #Wordpress and other federated blogging platforms, i beseech you: make it so people use your plugin as a synopsis for their longass blog posts and are forced to use a character limit.
i’ve had to mute and block quite a number of strangers abusing that feature.
@blogdiva I mute every Wordpress account I find because they clog up search so much

I need some kind of super basic account stuff. But I don't wanna set up a big fancy login/user thing. (Haven't done this part in ages!)
What's good for that? OAuth?
Fifteen years ago I helped popularise the meta viewport width=device-width,initial-scale=1. Today I found out the second bit is no longer necessary. A retrospective.
@milan What's your alternative to TB on Linux? Evolution and KDEMail (or whatever the name) were even worse for me.
@madomac on linux i really dont know, tried multiple ones - for a while i remember geary i guess to be okey.
i am on macos now however. i would assume openlogi to work better on linux

> About us
> We are a new AI advocacy organization launching publicly in late summer 2026. Our goal is to amplify everyday voices and build a broad-based movement capable of winning federal AI policy. We want policies that create an economy that works for everyone, not just Big AI; that defend our essential freedoms; and that prevent the development of AI systems that pose existential risks to humans and the planet.
> For years the response to AI risk has been white papers and closed-door meetings
yep, EAs
EDIT: this turns out to be Irreplaceable.org, who are fully EA lol
So my question to you, is which vulture capitalist is ponying up millions funding it?
In SF we are beset by three of these kind of things GrowthSF, NeighborSF and one other who I can’t remember the name of. These are all financed by the sovereign individual shit heels, the ones that financed recall of progressive politicians and replaced them with their wormtongues.
Ripple is behind California Forever. The Democratic gubanitorial candidate is financed by these assholes.
