@atax1a my eyes hurt now i hope ur happy 😭

Of all the things that facebook ruined, it was all the small clubs and events moving their online presence there. No more niche websites or forums. Just the dreary homogony of everything in the one same place - and assumption you were on facebook in the first place.

@gndgender @vji By the way, there will be a workshop on Thursday https://frida.at/begriffe-in-bewegung-fachvokabulare-normdaten-und-gendergerechte-erschliessung-01-10-2026 and I will listen veeeery closely, and I cannot guarantee that I will be able to hold my tongue ...

@andyb $1 buys you a bottle of vinegar, what are these bastards doing

I don’t understand the panic over ‘LLMs can tell people how to build biological weapons and plan assassinations’. So can Tom Clancy novels. And both sources will tell you things that are more likely to get you killed than achieve your nefarious goal.

#opentmux #tmux

Hey all -- for those of you interested on #opentmux I'd like your opinion. What do I do with this codebase? I don't sent to chase feature-parity with tmux -- but at the same time, there could be a perceived stagnation if I do nothing.

I've asked the same question on the #opentmux IRC channel on irc.libera.chat

But do please let me know what you'd like me to work on next. One person has suggested "stability" -- anything else?

Let me know.

@markwyner @frameworkcomputer Hi! If it's any help or encouragement, I switched from Windows to Linux completely a year ago. I don't use any of their products at all now. I u/stand that Mac OS is not Windows & you're facing different challenges, but for me, I'll never go back. Linux is a lot of fun, people help you out on forums and you can find just about any kind of software you need, usually for free. You can donate to the developers if you like it.I think you should do it.👍

After a good night's sleep:
What bothers me re Star Trek and how they depict librarians/archivists (and historians) is the role 'the computer' plays.

My frame of reference is TNG, Voyager, and DS9; and there no visible curation of information takes place; it's always 'the computer'.

But the non-mention / non-inclusion of people in knowledge work makes 'the computer' seem omniscient (and not just an interface to a curated body of knowledge.

In the current moment, this hurts.

For anyone not able to ZOOM in last night, these are previous recordings of our classic #fairytale talk. The first link relates to Hallowe'en Oct 2023, and as a witch I put it into context.

We will do the Sex-strike theory next week!

#Google Is Closing Android: And Taking Your Freedom With It

The #Android story is a warning: when you depend on a platform built by a company whose interests diverge from yours, you eventually lose. The solution is not a different Big Tech provider, it is infrastructure built on fundamentally different principles.

Looking for advice re:privacy. My sibling just got a new coworker that uses meta glasses, and it's making them uncomfortable & concerned about the privacy of it all. They're worried that their manager/current coworkers will have a "it's not a big deal" attitude about it if they bring it up. What might be a good argument or way to approach their manager about privacy concerns?

Best I got right now is that we live in a two party consent state.

Smile’s first ultraviolet footage shows auroral substorm

This is the first footage to be released from the ultraviolet camera (UVI) on the European-Chinese Smile mission. With UVI, Smile is now the first spacecraft since 2008 to capture the full ring of northern lights around the north pole in ultraviolet light, and is doing so for a record-breaking 45 hours at a time.

…A few things that would give me hope again, in no particular order:

- Launch of a national citizens’ assembly process grounded in the themes of the National Emergency Briefing
- Radical shift on housing policy to make multiple home ownership unaffordable
- Programme of moving water management and treatment into community-owned coops
- Programme of community-owned urban farming sites
- Programme of investment in public transport

Social media giant Meta pulled down Brazilian President Lula's Facebook page and blocked his campaign from running political ads but allows paid ads calling for a military coup

It also didn't take down any of the right-wing disinformation campaigns reported in August
