@stefano Damn. The current pope is just in his second year but he's already screwed.
I know Mastodon isn’t LinkedIn 😉
But, my time at Benuts as a Visual Effects Supervisor has come to an end. Here are some of the main projects I’ve recently supervised
- Undisclosed Netflix feature, 65 shots, including intensive destruction work
- Masterplan, Amazon MGM Studios feature, 400 shots
- De Gaulle, J'écris ton nom, Pathé feature, 130 shots
Let me know if you hear of any opportunities. I’m authorized to work in Canada 🇨🇦 and Europe 🇪🇺
Boost will be highly appreciated!

The 87 year old woman, Maricarmen Abascal, was evicted, on a stretcher from her home of 71 years, by a vulture fund (*un fondo buitre*).
Ángel, a 22-year-old from Tenerife explained, “Only a few can afford not to come here to protest. This Maricarmen thing, it could be our grandmother, or our mother, or, if you rush me, us. That, housing, is the real threat to our life, not the invasion they talk about in Ceuta. Every day I find vulture fundrails (*folletos de fondos buitre*) in my house mailboxes. I take them off, of course, but the threat goes on. I pay 500 a month for a room, so I am lucky but it could go up any time. ”
man, it’s not that I disrespect flatpak as a packaging medium but being in Japan really makes me miss Debian mirrors instead of waiting fucking forever for flathub apps to update
@sakurina struggling with the concept of debian being the thing that updates relatively more quickly

Le istituzioni accademiche sono impegnate a favore della democrazia, della sovranità digitale e della sostenibilità ambientale.
Ma questi valori guidano anche le decisioni di acquisto? Prendiamo in esame #Elsevier, uno dei principali fornitori di pubblicazioni accademiche, analisi e software, e il suo gruppo aziendale più ampio:
🛢️ Elsevier collabora con l'industria dei combustibili fossili, fornendo dati e analisi a supporto dell'esplorazione di petrolio e gas.
🔎 LexisNexis Risk Solutions, società affiliata di Elsevier, fornisce servizi di dati all'agenzia statunitense per l'immigrazione e le dogane (ICE).
🏝️ Inoltre, alcune società che fanno parte delle strutture aziendali di Elsevier sono state registrate in giurisdizioni comunemente associate all'elusione fiscale e ai paradisi fiscali.
Allo stesso tempo, le istituzioni accademiche spendono complessivamente 3,16 miliardi di euro in prodotti e servizi di Elsevier.
💰 Ogni contratto rappresenta anche una decisione su quali infrastrutture e organizzazioni finanziamo.
Esistono delle alternative. Le infrastrutture aperte si basano su un modello fondamentalmente diverso: trasparenza, governance comunitaria e l'idea che le infrastrutture accademiche critiche debbano essere al servizio dell'interesse pubblico.
Tuttavia, molte di queste infrastrutture sono in difficoltà a causa di finanziamenti insufficienti.
Non si tratta di fingere che cambiare le infrastrutture sia facile. Non lo è. Ma sicuramente dovremmo almeno chiederci:
👉 Le organizzazioni che finanziamo contribuiscono a costruire il futuro che desideriamo?

@d1 @adingbatponder d1, I agree with your (now edited) point about my morale. Simplified summary:
1. Our consensus: empowering users to be indepentent of big corporation's control is a goal.
2. d1's point: morale and identity forbids collaboration with the enemy. Always stay on the good side, don't support the evil side.
3. My point: everything is a trade-off, the outcome is important. Every day, I make compromises when I interact with people and organizations that I view critically.
@lew @adingbatponder my point is: the end does not justify the means
this is how i explain the cognitive dissonance in your post
for me, there must be unity of means and ends
without this, we are not moving towards our intended goals but end up with something else
in your case, e.g. code which few understand, additional reliance on megacorps and forest fires
you want to empower users but you end up empowering megacorps in the long-term
@alexchapman it was probably you know who, Mr Truth
@TomGrant91 I don't think somehow, it was one of those anti-AI freaks that decided to show up when I replied to a Pixelfed thing saying the dev was banning AI generated contributions.
#WritersCoffeeClub 29 Sep: Talk about something with your work this month you're really proud of.
Can't: I'm flailing around aimlessly in the middle of a rewrite!
…
Well, I DID add this sentence to the WIP (our protagonist is embattled by bureaucracy):
"... Not to mention budgets to approve, six distinct defense committees to chair (all with conflicting agendas), and a blight of crottled greeps infesting the shaddock harvest to be addressed. And all of it needed to be dealt with yesterday."
@cstross after reading that sentence, I immediately heard Count Rugen in my head, gently saying "Get some rest. After all, if you don't have your health, you don't have anything!"
(It may just be because I'm a Princess Bride tragic, but your sentence reminded me of a line Prince Humperdinck delivers)

Is the idea of an isolated “brain in a tank” more than just a fascinating philosophical thought experiment?
