Comunque, togliendo i dischi artificiali (o strutturalmente mediocri, se preferiamo chiamarli così), siamo a 7.000 dischi pubblicati ogni settimana. 364.000 dischi all'anno. Su Qobuz.
@kappazeta, così siamo messi.
ma cos'ha di diverso qobuz da sputifai?
comunque ho visto che ci sono due cd miei lì dentro, naturalmente io, anche se qualcuno ascoltasse, in entrambi i casi non vedo una lira
DOGE did not find $2T in fraud, but that doesn’t matter, Musk allies say
Musk allies spin DOGE as having a "higher purpose" beyond federal budget cuts.

@arstechnica fuck Musk forever!
Shame.

* Keep it to yourself though. 🤫
We wouldn't want it to be very widely known and have people sending them unwanted house bricks and other weighty objects, would we now? 😉
eating healthy natural foods instead of ultraprocessed ones, for one
reading books and newspapers instead of doomscrolling
thinking for ourselves instead of taking GenBS as truth
keeping the planet inhabitable instead of destroying everything (ok, maybe we just didn't know how to do the latter yet)
there's probably plenty more

These are super interesting to dig into, because I would put these into the category of what my historian spouse describes as "we always think the current moment is the worst".
That said, I do think these particular points are symbolic/emblematic of a problematic direction/pattern. But I'm not sure it'll be so clear-cut in 50 years that it was all bad.
May we find peace, health, and change in 2026 ✨
@wojtek ahhh so you’re not a business anymore!! and yes, egov stuff ftw… now with e-invoicing becoming mandatory I’m looking forward to a more paperless administration 🥰
@iamkonstantin well... I'm not a business anymore... in Poland 😁 next step is to open "autónomo" (business) in Spain to finalize my move here :)

Tressa Burke, (CEO, Glasgow Disability Alliance) has turned down an MBE, saying the UK Govt. was 'fuelling hatred, blame & scapegoating of people with disabilities'.
She also identifies misinformation & negative framing by the Govt. undermining the rights of disabled people & prompting scepticism about their benefits.
She also notes, the MBE was individualising the collective achievements of the organisation she has worked with for two decades!

@TheBreadmonkey wow, those sequined macaws in the xmas tree are amazing
They are very cool people
Yesterday I suggested that a Hare implementation a runtime system to implement memory management, fast data movement (our ATMEL AVR target has opcodes specifically for iterating over its RAM), & to crash the program (for embedded dev I'd trigger a breakpoint & reboot). The most complex of these being the memory management!
If we constrain outselves to supplying memory in powers-of-2, we could use Buddy Memory Management!
1/3?
In this scheme we track a doubly-linked-lists of each size, with an array holding theier heads. alloc() & free() can tweak the appropriate linkedlist, with alloc() falling back to allocating a larger amount of memory & splitting in half until we get the desired size.
Store the lengths of the next & previous chunks between any 2 of them so we can merge free chunks of the same size back together, thus countering fragmentation.
Our AVR target has a 16bit address-bus, so...
2/3!
@TheBreadmonkey I thoguht you'd like to know that my dad pronounces Essex like es-sex.
I did enjoy this!
@skyfaller I'm certainly not looking to start a fight, just a conversation.
That's an interesting article, haven't seen LTM before, but at least in my mind this is distinct from the other examples being discussed. We could absolutely still build these things if we wanted to - the knowledge is there, it's not entirely lost to society.
I'm more looking for knowledge that has been entirely lost. Which, I guess, is impossible to prove, since, well, we lost it? I dunno!
@tim @nyquildotorg I think this is not quite the right frame. Many skills can be resurrected with sufficient investment, but can you scale it up to be of practical utility to the general populace?
In a collapse scenario, perhaps we would need oxen to replace tractors: https://alaskan.social/@seachanger/115767036456124228
It may be that we could breed enough oxen to plow and feed everyone (left) in a generation, but could we train enough people to drive the teams? Got enough teachers? https://ecoevo.social/@sarae/115767094789160045
@cthos Isn’t this the same for all forms of art? All art exists to make the observer/interactant feel something, whether it’s a book, painting, song, movie, video game, etc. The whole point is to evoke a feeling. Art doesn’t have unaffected bystanders.
@ramsey yup. And my understanding of their hot take boiled down to all human interaction is violence. It was pretty weird.
I still have a Facebook account because I occasionally need to buy secondhand furniture or see which of the people that I used to know is dead now.

Zuck has that much power because of how many FB accounts there are. I don't want to give that away to anyone anymore. I really miss my old bird nerd group, but it's a small sacrifice.
I have listed the kobold heart hoards for pre-order. These will go out mid-January. More (and better!) photos will come out later but I wanted to start taking orders so I have an idea of how many more hearts I need to make.
These start at $25.
14. I did what everyone tells you not to do (of course), and responded to the bad review. I’m still glad I did - tinyurl.com/yc6pe6ns
15. I got excellent reviews from other reviewers, readers, and generous, thoughtful emails and DMs. THANK YOU!
16. I rested.
17. I lost some close friends, and felt baffled, again, that this kind of grief is so rarely acknowledged.
18. I made some new friends.
19. I became seven years sober.
20. I deleted all social media and entertainment apps from my phone.
21. For the first time in two decades, I kept up my reading momentum for a whole year. I’m still going.
22. I realised how good I am at cutting in when painting. Truly. I don’t even use painter’s tape. OnlyFans pending.
23. I learned that I love doing book events, and that I’m good at them too. More in 2026.
24. I finally accepted that being disliked by others is sometimes the entry fee for liking yourself.
25. I rested

9. I became an early riser, not a night owl. And I am being very smug about it.
10. I rested.
11. I let misanthropy in. This counts as growth because I only let it in a little. Not a lot.
12. I was shortlisted for the Anne Brown Essay Prize.
13. I got a really bad review from a well-known (in Scotland) male reviewer who seemed disappointed that I hadn’t written a different book, and that I wasn’t more likeable.
