“The zine is moving back into circulation across the region…no platform, no algorithm, just an envelope arriving through the door…

The format has always offered a way to speak to a small room on your own terms, without an editor or an algorithm deciding who gets to hear you…

The renewed appetite for zines says less about nostalgia than it does about scale. These publications do not need universal visibility to matter.”

@feps @julian that would be nice!

@Neffscape Gnome is following it's own path and even if there are folks that don't like it, you have to admire the commitment. I'm supportive of them doing whatever the hell they want, as long as they believe in it.

At least they are making a principled stand. The beauty of Linux distros is that you can vote with your attention. Don't like it? Then don't use it. But I don't agree with some of the rather strong replies I've seen about Gnome (not you! You were very neutral in your question) But there are people who get REALLY bent out of shape over Gnome and I'm a bit surprised. Just install something else?

@parismarx It's an end run on civilization, poisoning human discourse with gish-galloped plausible nonsense to forestall accountability. We can't pick up the pitchforks when we're this confused. That is a threat to civilization, just not in they way they describe it, which is _also_ a gish-gallop of plausible nonsense to forestall accountability.

U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and halt fighting within seven days, and told aides he expects to resume bombing after November congressional elections. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/09/26/world/politics/trump-rejects-iranian-peace-proposal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #usmilitary #middleeast #iran

@ShaulaEvans With regards to butterfly, I would happily replace it with Mariposa.

But my favorite is to replace "retired" with "jubilado". Because what better description than jubilation?

Bleecker Street, the distributor releasing Alex Gibney's new Elon Musk documentary, says YouTube, TikTok and Meta platforms won't take paid promotions for the trailer. @THR has the full story. Watch the trailer at the second link.

If anybody wants a smile btw, a MS employee told me they believe this Mastodon thread and my blog cost them over a billion dollars.

I think it’s firmly on Microsoft’s shoulders, the rollout of Recall and Copilot+ PC was just a series of own goals. They had huge expectations for it in terms of consumer demand and just.. didn’t think it through on many levels.

"Trump’s former National Intelligence Director and current envoy for Brazilian relations, Richard Grenell, a close ally of Eduardo Bolsonaro, helped to organize a series of high-profile meetings between ICE intelligence officials and Brazilian intelligence officials at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University. The meetings came as the Trump Administration has sought to label Brazilian drug gangs as terrorist groups and has repeatedly attacked Lula for being soft on crime and corrupt in the lead-up to this fall’s Brazilian election.

​Grennell has worked closely with Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of Jair Bolsonaro and brother of Flavio Bolsonaro, who polls show is locked in a neck-and-neck race for the presidency with Lula."

@Viss
Muse appears to have at least been written by Claude, at least the prose style and some of its quirks are all over the place, but that's increasingly hard to tell due to the degree of cross-pollination and distillation of all the models. And if so, it appears as if the writing of muse by Claude contributed to some paired prompt/response distillation dataset. Or else why would this comment be here? Why would the flag be here?

The comment is LLM comment spam directed towards itself, where presumably it removed it at one point and it broke something and was prompted to restore it, at which point LLMs, and especially Claude, will add a spurious comment explaining why something shouldn't be removed that includes too much detail that leaks from the prompting context.

@NoveltyBot that was a lot of money in 1979 to spend on fake poop

A robotic arm clamping onto a polymetallic nodule—with a delicate, living coral rooted directly to it—is a photograph of an active extinction event in slow motion. It shows the literal mechanism of destruction in the abyssal plain.

Those nodules take millions of years to form, and for deep-sea corals, they are the only hard surface to anchor onto in a world of soft mud. Scraping up the nodules means erasing the habitat forever.
