“You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live.”
@CiaraNi This is such a good book
@mariusor in retrospect, I wish I’d implemented shared-inbox support before actor-inbox support because I’d wound actor identity through backend code that (e.g. object and actor delete handling) never needed it, and failed to make important ownership checks in places that needed them!
@toddsundsted luckily for me the checks are being done in the library, so if it gets fixed once it improve multiple code bases. :D
That being said the blocked checks are very expensive as they usually need to be run in both directions, and when you combine grouping mechanisms like follow collections or shared inboxes, the resulting recipients list can be quite large.
I'm not handling the outlier cases yet, I'm focusing on correctness first, but some day I bet I'll get bit in the behind by some combinatoric explosion of storage access for computing all of that.

@shlee Is there meme showing Futurama's Fry saying "Shut up I'm keeping my money"?
It'd get a lot of exercise with Apple.
Aussi, grosse question sur comment ça se passe au Québec le critère du changement de langue. Vu qu'ils ont des mots courants en anglais partout. Et qu'ils sont pas obligés d'en appeler à l'Académie des boloss.
"Passage de texte dont la langue ne peut pas être déterminée : le critère est non applicable". Ça aussi c'est mystérieux.
Est-ce que c'est subjectivement pas déterminé (l'auteurice ne sait pas) ou objectivement pas déterminé (le texte peut correspondre à plusieurs langues).
I can't say that I've seen this before. A ladder that goes across a mantelpiece, and a bunk bed with the ladder going through the platform.

Excuse me, when was someone going to tell me about Bilbao?!
This city is STUNNING 🤯🤯
@Gina I live in bilbao!

So many Becky Chambers sentences getting jotted down in my reader's notebook. Some of them should feel twee, but don't, which says something about both the world she's written and the world we're living in.
@CiaraNi Becky Chambers - a gospel for our times
Three quotes. One very clear trajectory.
Designate the movement. Recast infrastructure as “material support.” Then go after the services and networks that keep people connected, even when those services are otherwise lawful.
That is what makes the Autistici/Inventati case bigger than one collective.
Read. Share. Preserve. Organize.

So I want to start out by saying this feels like a complete delegation of responsibility on the part of the UK government to basically tell households to fend for themselves if the basic necessities of life are interrupted, rather than accepting that it's the government's job to ensure that they're not. And also to say that I'm going to talk about helpful things that require purchasing, which not everyone can afford to do. And there are a lot of households in this country who can't even afford the food they need today, let alone to stockpile in advance, and that is also a result of the government neglecting its role to look after the people of the country.

Water storage.
You want to allow 2-4 litres of water per person per day for drinking. The variation is in terms of age, activity levels (are you cycling around and sweating or sitting at home?) and medical needs. If in doubt err on the higher end. Also remember to allow for pets. You want another litre of water per day per person for washing and cooking. I'll discuss hygiene in a low water scenario in a subsequent post.
If at all possible you want to be storing water in a dark container, not a white or clear one, to prevent algae growing. We use 20L ex army Jerry Cans for this like https://www.militarykit.com/products/nato-plastic-water-container-20l-black for camps. You used to be able to pick them up for about twenty quid but a quick look today shows the price seems to have jumped to about £40, presumably as a result of everyone panic buying because of the government announcement which is another reason they shouldn't really have gone "lol, fend for yourselves".

What's your brand?
@djsumdog There's no brand. There's an idea of a brand, if you will. Or an NFT that could maybe exist one day, if an image generator trained on my avatar and barfed up a remix.
Because this is an idea of a brand, the possibilities are endless, bound only by imagination!
I need more LLMisms to use in actual focused idea-dense writing.
* em dashes
* three of things
* it's not X, it's Y
what others?
these are normal basic rhetoric tricks that the chatbot has overlearnt and applies to zero-content writing. but i feel like being annoying.
@davidgerard You're absolutely right to point out that LLMs frequently overuse normal basic rhetorical tricks. So let's look at why that might be!
Universalism - the idea that all humans experience things "the same" - is just a hammer in the eugenics toolbox: those blessed with resilience and health (but suffering extreme deficits in other human traits 🤔) can compare their personal experience to others' in order to find the dirty immoral lazy weak people who deserve to be punished, enslaved, or killed.
@mattblaze
Suppose the chaos scenario ensues (I hpe not) ... is there any mechanism for annulling (some) results and/or having a do-over, or would it end up as something like Gore v Bush, decided on "procedural" grounds? (If I understand the GvB decision correctly)
@phloggen @mavu @heidilifeldman
@PeterLudemann @phloggen @mavu @heidilifeldman Do-over elections are almost unheard of. The logistics involved would make it impossible to do before the various offices have to be seated. For example, the entire House of Representatives is being elected, and seats in the House can only be filled by election. So not doing the election on schedule would mean we have no House of Representatives in January.

Hi #Wales , please sign this Senedd petition asking that they immediately unfreeze the pause on gender affirming care: https://petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/247110
This is super important, we need to show that there is enormous demand for them to do this so sign it, share it, stand over your friends to ensure they sign it.
