[I am in hospital, on a social media break. I am posting updates on my health & writing.]

Today I wrote my 1000th blog post. It is about the flattening of metadata ontologies in a repository context. This can, though, be of strategic value to radical publishing projects.

I then developed, as part of my need to get to grips with our KC Works import API, an automatic importer for these blog posts. The API works fantastically, mostly thanks to Ian Scott and his also-great documentation The PDF is also auto-generated.

Imagine what beautiful world it would be if only the billionaires had love rather than greed filling their hearts.

@las_lallero hai gravemente sottovalutato il nazionalismo serbo 🤣

Two days ago a recall was issued for Baxter IV saline due to contamination with fibreglass.

Today Braun IV saline is being recalled for zinc oxide contamination.

Both of these things can kill you.

The rapid increase in recalls, food safety issues and supply chain problems will disproportionately harm the elderly and disabled.

It’s another way they’re practicing eugenics:

The 'brain drain' out of socially divided, fascist and war-torn Europe and Asia over the first half of the 20th century - and subsequently from poor countries throughout the world - was a big factor in the technological and economic development of the US. Now the brain drain is the other way - out of the US - to Canada, and widely reported in Europe, and even to China. Watch out for the future economic impacts of the US' loss of talent.

Rubio bloccaci Teams!

Do NOT come down hard on federal government agencies that change Lake Ontario to Lake America. Trump can order them to do so.
DO come down hard on any company, state government, or other group that makes that change. Trump's order has NO legal power over them.

@Fischblog Ich bin gegen eine missbräuchliche Nutzung des IFG. Wobei ich mir gewünscht hätte die Missbräuchlichkeit dieser Anfrage zu erläutern. Es scheint ja um Forschungsdaten zu gehen. Besteht der Missbrauch im unverhältnismässigen Aufwand oder in der Erwartung jedes Datum verteidigen zu müssen.

Wie gesagt wenn die Anfrage missbräuchlich war, unterstütze ich die Ablehnung.

New in PN: Are voters finally realizing that GOP presidents are disasters?

"The last three Republican presidents have handed their Democratic successors an economic catastrophe, and the last three Democrats have had to do their best to clean it up. Why don’t Democrats ever say that? I think it would make a difference." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/disaster-republican-presidents

It's been a tough week for a lot of people in more ways than one. I'm just glad to have made it to the weekend lol.

Health update at the link. Kindly boost and share if you can. And if you could spare a few dollars, I would be hugely grateful. Thank you!

These right-wingers are such snowflakes, aren't they ?
The left are only terrorised by people that actually have deadly weapons like guns and knives and bombs, or cars they drive into crowds of innocent people.
The right find household paints and gardening tools terrifying.

Perhaps this could constitute a new test for underlying political affiliation ?
Which of these items do you find more frightening ? 🖌️ 💣

L'equazione cyberattivisti = terroristi è purtroppamente vecchia quanto il cyberattivismo stesso. Ricordiamoci del calvario passato da Indymedia tra sequestri, perquisizioni, censura e repressione contro compagn* ad opera dei civilissimi governi europei con il coordinamento dell'FBI agli inizi dei '00.
Insomma, "tempi bui ci attendevano, ma ne sono arrivati di peggiori"

To eveyone on Mastodon:

The real lesson of the US attack on autistici/inventi is that WE ARE NEXT. Mastodon servers mostly do not run things like PRISM, are often based outside the US, and compete directly with the Tech Bros and their ad and tracker supported shit for an audience.

Also lots of anti-Trump activism here.

If we don't fight for autistici/inventi today, we will have to fight for Mastodon tomorrow. Domino effects are real with Fascists as we saw at the start of WWII.
