“*YOU* Are the Chosen One?!”

“Hahaha no.”

“I thou—“

“I’m just *a* chosen girl. There’s hundreds of us, you know. Big planet; takes a lot of saving”

“Where’s your enchanted sword, then?”

“Melted it”

“You *what*!”

“Swords are flashy, but impractical. So I made an enchanted multitool”

“You are shitting me!”

“And these enchanted screwdrivers. Plus all the other tools in the go bag. Sword goes a long way once you realise you can just braze an enchanted tip onto a regular tool”

“And now you save people by the roadside?”

“Yep. Hey pass me the enchanted multimeter from the left side pocket, will ya”

@MrGR @Columba_Livia Na, Aber das ist ja nun in erster Linie mal dein Problem, nicht wahr? Ist doch gut wenn Menschen auf ihre Gesundheit achten und dazu noch versuchen möglichst viel von ihrem schmalen Ausbildungsgehalt für ihre eigenen Bedürfnisse ausgeben zu können.

I'm tired foss

@cwebber
I guess it depends on the definition of "computer"? 🤔

(I'm thinking some form of Turing-complete physical algorithm or maybe just recreate the "paper computer" in tin?)

Official Pronouncement

By the power vested in us, the internet users of the world, we hereby declare the name Google has officially been changed to Evil in each and every occurance of the word.

It is no longer allowed to refer to products like Evil Maps, Evil Mail, Evil Docs and Evil Photos using their former names.

@alex27 tbh It's right up there. Everything got better. Mood, focus, memory, cognition / problem solving, endurance & fitness, sleep & dreamlife. More present for the important people in my life. I look forward to never drinking again!

Please get the vaccination. No, you’re not “taking it away” from anyone by getting it.

@dragon i think this absolutely should not be done anymore and that modern CPUs have completely upended the optimal scenarios for high-performance dataflow

This came in the mail today, what a joy! Thanks to @Steve and others at @geosocialcoop . If you want to read what I sound like, unedited, there's an interview with me about unions and worker cooperatives, making the case for radical democratic worker self-organization in both...

Imagine what we could do if we all just didn't buy anything or go to work for a week?

They might be begging us to accept Trump's head on a pike.

This ain't 1890. This version of capitalism dies if the money stops moving. We can kill it.

Gleichzeitig gibt es noch reichlich andere Arbeit: gar nicht erschlossene Bestände, Verzeichnungsinformationen zwar vorhanden, aber noch nicht online zugänglich - muss alles gemacht werden. Nur wann?
Und ich glaube ja nicht, dass Archive noch mal mehr Personal bekommen werden. Die Zeiten sind nicht so.

Und um jüngste Bemerkungen von @Lambo aufzugreifen: Die Arbeit wird ja auch nicht gesehen.

Also: Freuen oder verzweifeln?
