@Persona Thank you for sharing with me,as I also read through, I am requesting that you be looking through the ways you can support our movement and its work to strengthen communities.. and empowering vulnerable families and youths
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 ? 🖌️ 💣
@GeofCox @ChrisMayLA6 the US political right is a terrorist organisation. Always has been.
@TheBreadmonkey Oh no.

If I say, without a little bit of leading the witness: "I think software should be finished, most of the time. I think a plan for the ending should be in mind from the start." That gets a lot of people's hackles up, as if I just said all machines should be perpetual motion. If we try to make the kind of software we're used to, then yes, completion is something we know is difficult to impossible in that world.
If your goals for software are a bit different:
1. Small (both in scope and implementation),
2. Aggressively interoperable with other programs,
3. At peace with being irrelevant someday,
... then it's totally possible to complete software. The ecosystem is never complete, but this piece can be, because it's not trying to itself be an ecosystem with decades of updates in its future.
3/3 Wo aber quasi niemand ist, der weiß wozu es uns gibt & was wir machen (über "gedruckte Bücher, hach, Herzchen-Emoji" hinaus), kann auch den Druck nicht sehen, unter dem wir stehen, und der noch zunehmen wird. Der Angriff der "Bibliothek des Konservatismus" auf Bibliotheksinfrastruktur von innen, der Versuch Weimers den Auftrag der @DNB_Aktuelles zu sabotieren und ähnliches - werden wir zunehmend alleine erwidern müssen. Stellt euch drauf ein, Kollegys.
@Lambo nicht ganz alleine ✊💜
(invalidiert deinen größeren Punkt natürlich nicht)

Il festival propone anche dei #film e un concorso corti https://afrobrix.it/afrobrix-films-2026/
I disastri climatici non sono una cosa che succederà, sono una cosa che sta già succedendo:
I wish I could mark packages more reliably as “we signed the Software Maintainer’s Pledge¹ and will treat this as infrastructure that must not be volatile”.² And then have platform tooling that blows up visibly when I break that promise (ideally down to some implicit interfaces, partially following Hyrum’s Law,³ maybe getting stricter automatically when there are more known users of my package).

Far left extremists:
- write to their council
- attend peaceful protests
- explain how tax actually works to friends and family
- reply to public consultations
- hand out fliers
Be careful out there. These people are dangerous and want you to have basic human rights.
You can’t buy happiness. Steal it - woof, woof
[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.
Il Pd prepara Un’interrogazione alla Camera con Andrea Casu e al parlamento UE con Brando Benifei sulle sanzioni USA al collettivo #AutisticiInventati
Anche Banca etica costretta a chiudere il loro conto. Benifei: «L’azione degli Usa colpisce un intermediario di servizi in modo indiscriminato, associandolo senza prove a eventuali usi illeciti di terzi»
@informapirata
Non capisco Banca Etica... 🤔
@eticadigitale
Une bonne chose de faite !
Après 1 année scolaire complète sous PrimTux 8 avec mes élèves (et windows en dual boot au cas où), c'est decidé : ce sera désormais du 100% PrimTux. L'occasion de virer définitivement Windows et de passer à PrimTux 9 !
À titre perso, je ne dirais plus "PrimTux est une alternative à Windows" mais "PrimTux est un meilleur choix que Windows" (voire LE meilleur choix, tout simplement).
Bravo aux collègues investis dans ce projet 👏
@neil That's not going to fix the rain! 😏
I am delighted to have the rain, after the extreme heat of the summer.
Nepal's flood is a warning of the tragedies to come — climate change will ensure that there are more disasters like this and with increasing frequency. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2026/08/29/jt-editorial-nepal-flood/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #editorials
