I’ve been playing music in bars around Seattle since the 1990s, and back then it cost $10 to get in, now it cost $12 for the same small bars to see a band. Nothing - no commercial product at all — has resisted inflation like this other than weed, and live music was never illegal. Pay for local music folks! This should be $20 minimum at this point, inflation since 1998 Would be $33. It’s outrageous. Out-fricken-rageous.

Il valore economico delle attività culturali è molto più esteso di quello che si pensa e andrebbe ridistribuito alle comunità che lo creano. L'articolo di New Statesman.

@inquiline BIGG Smartphone Screen?

@randahl Be fair. He's also committed a number of other war crimes. And crimes generally.

They're not going to catch on that this is the equivalent of complaining about fat people helping at a Scout jamboree.

Debian ne dit pas non à l’IA et divise la communauté - https://next.ink/253766/debian-dit-oui-a-lia-et-divise-la-communaute/

> La communauté Debian devait voter sur la place que les grands modèles de langage (LLM) pouvaient tenir dans le développement de la distribution Linux. Parmi les axes proposés, elle a choisi un quasi-statu quo. La décision divise, ayant notamment provoqué le départ d’au moins un des développeurs.

Va prouver, en 2026, que du code est généré par IA ou pas 🙄

Fuck FRONTEX.

Despite not really having any plans to go ahead with a previously planned new 101 series, this time about borders, I nonetheless continue the research just in case I change my mind.

Fuck FRONTEX.

Anyway, I came across a booklet published by FRONTEX aimed at children about being returned to their ‘home’ country.

It’s all very sick and unpalatable and I can only hope FRONTEX drowns.

Fuck FRONTEX.

@cheeaun@mastodon.social Wow better than Japan!

> NZ government ... retroactively changed the laws to make it legal for the GCSB to spy on all citizens

I agree this was a shit move. I was part of a campaign against it, and attended a number of demonstrations around the country protesting against it.

This isn't so much Business Idiots, as it is NZ governments marching in lockstep with the increasing Stasi-fication of the anglophone world, let by the US and pushed through the 5 Eyes alliance.
