It says it all about the ethical values of the combatants in the Ukraine war that Ukraine is striking oil refineries while Russia is attacking libraries and publishers.
@cstross It also shows what infrastructure is necessary for war and destruction and what infrastructure is necessary for peace and civilization.
@jpm very cool just today I was soldering wires onto a PCB thinking “there must be a better way to do test points”

Am 6. September wählt Sachsen-Anhalt. Die AfD liegt in Umfragen bei 42 bis 43 Prozent.
Historiker Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk warnt vor der einfachen Erklärung.
Was sie genau meint, hat Rebecca Kelber im Interview aufgeschrieben:

@Krautreporter
Diejenigen, die AfD wählen, wissen davon nichts oder wollen darüber nichts wissen.
Erschreckend, wie groß allgemein das Unwissen über die DDR, über Mauer und Stacheldraht ist.
Viele junge und jüngere Leute wissen nicht, dass Ost- und West-Berlin 28 Jahre und knapp 3 Monate durch eine Mauer getrennt, dass Deutschland ebenso lange geteilt war.
Dass es von 1949 bis 1990 zwei deutsche Staaten gab.

Nice, @daniel is visiting #LinuxDays2026. Looking forward to see the author behind our family chat solution in person. (well, the Android part of the soltution at least)
@stepan Only if my talk is accepted, though. Make sure to get your vote in 😜
shocked to hear the aggressively stupid fashtech distro is broken shit, again
In solidarity with #AutisticiInventati.
Please join us in signing the open letter and send it to your representatives: inventati.org/campaign/open_...
A/I's mission has always been clear, and for more than twenty years it has inspired generations of hackers and activists in Italy and around the world: "Socializzare saperi senza fondare poteri." Sharing knowledge without establishing power.
That is what the US is attacking, and that is what is at stake today.
The premise of these sanctions, that whoever provides communications infrastructure answers for whatever anyone does with it, would criminalise and shut down most Big Tech platforms tomorrow if applied equally.
Instead it is aimed at grassroots services who refuse to surveil their users.
We condemn these sanctions, and we stand firmly with solidarity tech like A/I. Antifascism and anticapitalism are not terrorism.
Book Tour! In case anyone is in any of these neighbourhoods.

@toychicken saving that for his third term

One of the things that still confounds me about the Mastodon web client. I think it happens when:
a post from an account I follow has links in it to other instances but that post is not yet federated to my instance, and I click its links, and…
I end up on the other instance, which of course I’m not logged in to, so if I try to follow that account or interact with it in anyway, I have to jump through the instance to instance gateway.
I *think* this is what’s going on
…When I’m in an app – I have been in the habit of using @ivory on my phone – this *never* happens. Instance to instance traversion is *always* seamless.
Why then can’t the web UI be that way?
I get that many hosts are waging a war against slop bots. And that’s why CAPTCHAs are on the increase.
But using generative AI images to fight generative AI bots is a whole can of slop nematodes to contend with 😩
I know the specific details are not the point, but I have to ask: am I alone in having no idea whether a broom costs more than an envelope?
Our psychology department is hiring:
Tenure-Track Assistant Professor
Computational Approaches to Perception and/or Cognition
Job Opening ID 375565
Department of Psychology
University of Minnesota
The Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities announces a search for an outstanding scholar to fill a tenure-track assistant professor position focused on computational approaches to perception and/or cognition. This full-time position in the Department’s Cognitive and Brain Sciences (CAB) Training Program will begin in Fall 2027.
Applications are invited from researchers who would extend or complement our historic strengths in combining experimental and computational approaches to perception and cognition. Examples of desired research topics include, but are not limited to, computational approaches in human and/or non-human animal models to study perceptual function and sensory loss, learning, motivation, emotion, and/or higher cognition. While we expect the primary appointment to be in our CAB area, there is potential for cross-affiliation with other departmental areas.
The appointment will be 100%-time over the nine-month academic year (late-August to late-May) and will be made at the rank of tenure-track assistant professor, depending on qualifications and experience and consistent with collegiate and University policy. Salary and start-up packages are competitive.

@Micolcosta sempre negli Abruzzi
@barfly @Micolcosta sempre bello detto al plurale.
I have been invited to the “Datenspuren” conference in Dresden to speak about Jabber/XMPP and 25 years of digital independence.
The talk is going to be in German, but I've submitted an English version to other conferences.

@catsalad the index must know where it is.
Der Bund der "Antifaschist:innen - Vereinigung der Verfolgten des Naziregimes" ist 1947 gegründet worden, um sich jeglicher Nazi-Bewegung zu widersetzen. Jetzt prüft das Finanzamt, ihnen die Gemeinnützigkeit zu entziehen. Ihr Widerstand gegen die AfD sei eine "unzulässige politische Betätigung".
